Hi There,

I am using Libreelec on a wetek play (first generation) with an vdr server (installed via libreelec).

Now i want to connect to it with a nvidea shield tv (android tv) and the app "livechannels", and for that i need a plugin in vdr.

So the question is: How can i install: GitHub - pipelka/vdr-plugin-robotv: VDR server plugin for roboTV on my wetek play?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I just tried it with tvheadend and the mpeg2 codec from the raspberry foundation, and with the newest alpha version of libreelec i got perfect picture and fast switching cahnnels. Perhaps try to activate both hardware accelaration modes together at the same time?

Quote from Aergernis

Anyone have a idea how to deal with this problem?

Perhaps check the hardware accelaration? (under settings/options/Video..)
I just found out that mpeg2 is not hardware accelerated with a pi, you need to by the codec for that...

mp4 (h265) is hardware accelerated

activating hardware accelaration without having the codec gives me the same results as you have (only sound, freezed picture) when switching between hd (h265) and non hd (mpeg2) channels

Solution: Buy the codec (i am still waiting for it to be send via email, but hope this is the solution!)

So i had the chance to test the LibreELEC (Krypton) v7.90.003 ALPHA version of libreelec and the stuttering is much better there. I could watch 30 min without it, and get 1 or 2 times stutter per hour.
I also had a crash of the whole system when switching channels, but this could be because of the beta version...

So i hope the best for the new version.

Thanks for the answer:

I have the frontend (client) and server on the same raspberry. Does the clock problem also exist then?

Hi There!
After using Mediportal since years i switched to an Raspi3 with an HDhomerun eu DVB-C tuner (and DVB-t, but i only use dvb-c) . I am situated in germany.

I installed Libreelec on an 8gb SD Card (Ultra sandisk) activated tvheadend 4.2 as service and PVRclient.
First i had problems with stuttering, after using the official software for the HDhomerun and rescanning all channels with it (under windows), i got a much bettter result.
But it was not perfect:

1. i had every 10 to 15 min a short stutter in video (pixelation and so on)
2. When audio passthrough was activated, it showed audio stutter (audio was going suddenly very quiet and then going back to normal every 5 or so minutes)

Then i tested the timeshift feature, i activated in tvheadend (throug webpage) and started watching tv. I got the above mentioned stutter in video and audio.
Then i pressed pause, started watching again after 10 min or so and since then i experinced perfect sound and pictures since hours.

Great!

Has anybody an explanation for that? I know, i need to test this further, but i was excited and used that energy to write about it here
