Kodi take few seconds to play (load) PVR TV channel after the selecting channel.
I use PVR simple client as a PVR addons and the multicast stream come from Digicast (DMB-8820 H.264 HD) Encoder via Gigabit LAN network.
My windows PC kodi and wetek Hub kodi receive same encoder IP output. I can see same log error for both kodi version.
I wont to minimize channel loading time. Please advice me....
Here is an extract of a log file..
