Pi 3 as tvheadend backend for DVB-T2 ... stream stutters

    Hi,
    I use a Raspi 3 with two Geniatech T230C DVB-T2 USB sticks as tvheadend backend with Libreelec 7.0.2-dvbdrivers. I can receive all six test channels currently available in Germany / NRW.
    If I record the stream to my NAS and watch it from there later everything works fine.
    If I directly want to watch the "live" stream it stutters, no sound ... buffering restarts all the time (using LibreElec on a Minix U2 or VLC from my Ubuntu laptop).
    Any hints? Or is a Pi3 too slow to handle a DVB-T2 stream?
    Thanks, krimskrams

    When you are watching live, are you also recording?

    If the Pi3 is able to record a stream to your NAS fine then streaming to a single player should be exactly the same amount of work.

    did you buy and enable the cheap mpeg2 licence for hardware decoding of those tv streams? i had the same problem with live tv and that sorted it for me.

    Hi,

    recording to the NAS and watching afterwards works fine with no frame drops. Only watching directly is the problem ... maybe I have to look if there is some transcoding or similar ongoing ...

    I don't have the MPEG license, however German DVB-T2 is h.265 / HEVC ... and it is only the tvheadend backend running on the Pi, not the frontend displaying the video ... so I would assume the license should not really be the issue.
