Pi4, TV-HAT and tvheadend : the stream is choppy

Laurent · November 25, 2020 at 9:08 AM

Dear all,

I've a TV-HAT and I've tried it with my new Pi4 with tvheadend. All was fine with my Pi3+, but with the Pi4 the stream given by is tvheadend choppy.

I've tried with LibreELEC pi4 version and also with Rasp OS.

Do you have an idea for a specific settings in tvheadend ?

Thanks you very much for you help.

likely you changed something at the stream settings at Tvh ?? (format or whatever)

If you plain install Tvh and setup the frequencies it should work without any issue.

Hi CvH,

I've just installed tvh and the frequencies. All the channel were discovered, but the video/audio stream is choppy.

I've tried on differents sd card, one with the PiOS, and the second with LibreELEC.

do you play the channels at the same RPi ?

Yes/No. I've tried to play on the RPi, on my computer and also on an other RPi. When the TV-Hat is on the RP4, the signal quality is low... and correct when the TV-Hat is on the Rp3. Why ?...

It's a problem with the signal quality. This thread can be closed. Thanks.
