Hi Jernej,

Please remind me what should do a power button on Plus 2E on latest stable version? I want it to do power off, is it possible?

Last time I tried (about year or a bit more ago), it was simple. Search for m3u8 file in video section and open it just like any other video.

Jernej, I have just tried that but it says it was unable to run one, or two media files and I can find info in log files.

Thanks a lot! I would try this method...

If there is any way to do that, please explain how and I would try! Never new I am able to open m3u8 channels playlist directly in Kodi without using IPTV addons... Thanks for your help!

I have just tried to disable Inputstream FFmpeg Direct and it said that it's impossible as the PVR Simple Client addon is using it.

inputstream.ffmpegdirect is one of the 3 dependencies (1. Iputstream Adaptive, 2. Inputstream FFmpeg Direct, 3. RTMP Input) needed to be installed prior to PVR IPTV Simple Client. If I run any local, or LAN video, there can't be any buffering and I am unable to replicate this issue (as it's only with buffering like IPTV channel watching...). Or do you mean trying uninstall inputstream.ffmpegdirect and running PVR IPTV Simple Client? I can try, but I doubt its' possible.

I can get debug log too, if needed, no problem...

No problem, just didn't know if it contains any confidential data, or not (like m3u playlist).

Jernej I have sent you a PM with the log file link.

Jernej please explain if I need to enable components logging, or just usual logging is enough to log PVR IPTV Simple client addon? I would try to catch this glitch this evening as usually buffering is at this time...

1982lammer You should install all dependencies before installing IPTV Simple client.

I have installed the latest nightly 20201801 for my board and this issue still persists. Jernej, please remind me how can I enable and grab the log file for you? Thanks for help

Sure I can. As I mentioned I have 2021.11 LibreELEC-H3.arm-10.0.1-Kodi 19.3 (Linux Kernel 5.10.x) orangepi-plus2e.img and latest PVR IPTV Simple Client addon installed currently but with no any nightly updates. I can try to install latest nightly but I am not sure weather PVR addon would support it, or not...

Sorry, but my IPTV provider doesn't say if they stream interlaced, or not. I think it should be progressive as the picture has no tears and my TV is set to 1080p setting (or Kodi can deinterlace by itself?)

Should I turn deinterlacing to off in video playback popup settings (menu button)?

Hi Jernej!

I have asked about one bug solution but it's still present.

The problem is with PVR IPTV Simple Client.

If buffering (circle with 0-100%) occurs (even just for 1 second) during playing any of TV channels the video picture freezes and only sound continues playing after buffering ends.

The only solution for now is to press stop button and then turn TV channel on again. But here's another problem that it does turn on any channel (for first time ) with some pretty long lag (30-40 seconds) after that picture freeze of buffering. Then switching channels is done instantly again as usual.

You have mentioned that you don't use this addon, so you are unable to test it. So I have PMed the author of this addon - nightik on xbmc forum and he told me the following things:

This addon doesn't do neither stream download, nor playback. It just parses m3u and xmltv and gives this data to Kodi engine instead.

Playback and buffering is the only Kodi's job, so the problem is not in the addon but in the way how Kodi processes streams.

So, he is unable to help with this problem!

Unfortunately, I have this bug for pretty long time, perhaps from spring-summer 2021 and there is absolutely no serious bugs for me except this one.

Perhaps, you could help me with this, or if any my help is needed to resolve this issue, please let me know. May be you need any log files to help? It's really annoying to have it till now.

P.S. I have both latest final Kodi and addon currently installed on my board.

Images are linked on download page: Allwinner – LibreELEC

Hi Jernej! There have been LE 9.97.1 on that link you've kindly provided to me and I've seen that final stable 10.0 version have been released just few days ago. It is written that 9.97.1 should be able to upgrade automatically, but that didn't work for me, so I have flashed again with final 10.0 LE. But I wonder if it really has to be able to update on our boards, or only manual is our way?

Many thanks Jernej!

Jernej and is there any link where can I get the latest LE10 RC image? As I only had LibreELEC-H3.arm-11.0-nightly-20210524-cf95a45-orangepi-plus2e.img and now there are only 11 on this thread.

Thanks for your reply friend!

Dear Jernej,

I have tried clean install of the current LibreELEC-H3.arm-11.0-nightly-20210819-cf95a45-orangepi-plus2e.img and 10.80.0-ARMv7-arm-pvr.iptvsimple-7.6.9.1.zip from the Addons directory on the first page of this thread but can't install this PVR. Have I've done something wrong, or is this version of nightly image too fresh for PVR? Besides, I can't enter in LE repository on this nightly image. Thanks in advance!

I don't know, to be honest. I just know that I need to fix some corner cases with this functionality...

Understood! And we'll keep on testing your builds! 😄👍👌👋
