Since upgrading to 10.0.2 all has been working perfectly, loving de-interlacing when watching live TV now!

However one issue I've noticed is when playing back recorded TV content, sometimes when I step forward +30 seconds to skip the ad breaks, playback and audio appears fine, but the picture is frozen on a random frame. Skipping forward or backward resolves the issue and the picture comes good.

It's kinda frustrating as I use my Right Arrow key to skip the adds in 30 second increments and this is happening every 4th or 5th time.

Has anyone else experienced this? This was fine on 10.0.1, it only appears to happen with recorded TV (pvr) content. MP4 seems to be fine

Hardware as follows:

RPi4 8gb running 10.0.2

PVR client is htsp, Tv-headend backend client (hosted on a remote server)

Using default playback settings, ie DRM PRIME encoder, hardware acceleration is enabled, direct-to-plane

EEPROM firmware = 2022-01-25

And if you use a (small) USB extension cable for the USB Wifi device..? Will that get rid of interference?

Others have reported success doing that

From personal experience, if you don't have any USB devices connected (like a USB flash stick), then it is fine

However, I find that WIFI 5Ghz becomes unstable/unusable if something like a USB flash stick is plugged in, as the interference wreaks havoc with WIFI 5Ghz

I boot off a USB flash drive, so i have had to switch to using the wired Ethernet port

I would go through your installed add-on list and disable them one by one and observe any change in cpu behavior, by ssh'ing to your box and running top.

For example, I had a similar issue where my cpu was being smashed, and I found it was caused by the Library Watchdog add-on.

You haven't specified your speaker setup...

I had the same issue with a 3.1 setup (ie speakers, center channel and sub-woofer).

What i did was adjust the center speaker volume, relative to the stereo speakers via the Setup menu for my AV amplifier and now its MUCH better. I wish had thought of this a couple of years ago

exactly

I have to admit that it should be possible these days to use it at RPi etc, but nobody had looked into that (very low prio) to make it work.

That's interesting, I always assumed projectM could never work on a RPI4, as it doesn't have the correct type of GPU to run projectM, since it is a very intensive GPU application

So in theory, ProjectM could run on a RPI4?

ProjectM is the one addon I miss most, since switching from a dedicated pc frontend (nvidia GPU) running Kodi to my RPI4
