Quite bad SD quality with LE9

augenweide · February 9, 2019 at 5:08 PM

Hey all,

I did a fresh reinstall of LE9 today and I noticed that the Live TV SD quality is pretty bad. I know its SD, but is much more worse than before. I have a lot of blocks and some flickering. I also tested 4.3 nightly builds, but no change.

I haven't configured much, all pretty standard.

Its the generic build with an AMD E350 together with an 4K Samsung TV.

BTW HD looks just normal, like on LE8.

I have an DVBSky T9580 V3 DVB-C and the cards is supported by default without any additional drivers.

Edit: oh and I also tried my tvheadend installation on my central server instead of the local one on the LE Box, same problem, so I think it has nothing to do with the tvheadend server. Its somehow Kodi 18 or the tvheadend client.

Maybe someone else with that problem?

Best regards,

Marcel

Hi Iridium,

here're the logs:

dmesg: http://ix.io/1acw

kodi.log: http://ix.io/1acx

After watching some time HD channels I also noticed something weird here. There is some flickering too and also weird stuttering for example a football.

Nothing obvious. When watching live TV can you check the cpu usage as a high value could cause the stuttering.

Also you could try disabling Emby just in case, and selecting only the DVB addon that is needed.

Disable MPEG2 hardware acceleration. This is a known driver issue on AMD GPUs.
