IPTV Stream opening takes for ever

1st Official Post

    I have an iptv plugin to watch Norwegian news
    This used to work very wel in LibreElec 7.0.3 kodi Jarvis 16.1 ever since Krypton it takes ages to open the stream.
    Is this purely a Krypton problem?

    I have tested this on :

    LibreElec
    7.0.3 kodi Jarvis 16.1 > opens fast
    8.0.1 kodi Krypton 17.1 > opens hardly or very slow

    windows
    kodi Jarvis 16.1 > opens fast
    kodi Krypton 17.1 > opens slow

    I can supply the plugin

    Kodi developers changed/improved the buffering code in Krypton. This improves overall playback but results in longer times before playback starts. It's a known/aware problem; the usual complaint is channel zapping in tvheadend or similar. No changes are expected until Kodi v18.
