Live streams stall [LibreElec 10.0.1 / RaspBerry Pi 4]

  • Hello,

    I have a freshly installed LibreElec 10.0.1 on a RPi4 and it has issues with playing any live content. It plays smoothly for about a minute and then it stops and restarts again.

    As an example I played a local file *.m3u which references the real audio stream(e.g. http://st01.dlf.de/dlf/01/128/mp3/stream.mp3)

    Noticeable in the Log are multiple entries like this:

    Code
    DEBUG <general>: CDVDClock::ErrorAdjust - CVideoPlayerAudio::OutputPacket - error:70296.958426, adjusted:70296.958426

    I found an old issue, which looks similar, but it was already solved with Kernel 5.1.25.

    I have adapted the advancedsettings.xml as well, since I have the same problem with live video streams. But I am not sure if it is related, so I just mention it here:

    Code
    <advancedsettings>
        <cache>
            <buffermode>1</buffermode>
            <memorysize>1242562560</memorysize>
            <readfactor>10</readfactor>
        </cache>
    </advancedsettings>

    Any ideas what can be done about it?

  • Ok, I tested some things and had new findings:

    The incorrect behaviour only happens when the analogue output is activated in the config.txt. I played around with another installation of 10.0.0. and used HDMI output and the issue was gone. Then I disabled the analogue out in the 10.0.1 installation and the issue was gone as well.

    Very strange but I can work around that problem for now (TV has to be always enabled instead of the hi-fi system only). But maybe some one has the same problem and can use this information to get to the root of the problem.
