Just installed 7.9.005 Alpha coming from stable LibreElec 7.0.2 Jarvis on Rpi3. Having an issue with LiveTV using ServerWMC backend and PVR WMC Client. When tuning a channel, LiveTV shows the channel but stutters and locks up as though MPG2 license is missing. Using same hardware, license, and config.txt that works perfectly on 7.0.2 Jarvis. All I did was swap SD cards with this build. Kodi.log and ServerWMC.log attached.

Try setting "deinterlacing method" to "Off"

This problem sounds very similar to what I reported here:
Display MoreI just began testing v7.90.005 on an RPi 3 (with MPEG-2 H/W license). My initial (upgraded) settings were:
"Adjust display refresh rate": "Off"
"sync playback to display": Off
"Allow hardware acceleration - OMXPlayer": Off
"Allow hardware acceleration - MMAL": On"Audio Passthrough | Enable passthrough": On
And I am seeing dropped and skipped frames causing "jumpy" video (audio sounds OK, but it is the sync is messed up since the video is jumpy).
If I change just "Adjust display refresh rate" to "On start/stop", I still get dropped and skipped frames (although maybe not quite as bad?).
If I change just "Sync playback to display" to On, then the dropped and skipped frames (mostly) go away and the file seems to play OK. However, the CPU usage is considerably higher which leads to the Pi's thermal throttling kicking in (the yellow box in the upper right corner appears). If I let it continue playing, the box will then turn red (as the temperature continues to rise). If I pause the playback, then it will quickly cool off and the box goes away. This behavior leads me to believe that the hardware MPEG2 acceleration isn't being used.
EDIT: I've attached a kodi log with debugging enabled showing playback in each of these 3 successive scenarios.
You might try changing "Sync playback to display" to On and see how it plays for you (and if you get the overheating yellow box in the upper right corner).
