IPTV Stream opening takes for ever

nowe · May 1, 2017 at 8:39 AM

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.
