LE 12b2: IPTV streams stutter when piped with ffmpeg

Hi,

I have the same problem with IPTV simple addon (not sure how to check what are my provider streams, FFMPEG or what) but exactly the same behaviour, since upgrade to LE12

there is currently no other solution than compiling the ffmpeg plugin yourself. You need to set up a LibreElec Dev System for that, change a config file and have some spare hours CPU time

If you want to do that i can give you the hints on which screws you need to work to brew ffmpeg 4.4.4 which is working.

in my case this actually ended up being a poor vpn connection issue, once I routed the LE machine via another gateway, the issue was gone.
