Possible to be something from tvheadend server 4.3 and new deinterlacing method?

Maybe try to install the tvheadend server 4.2. No need to unistall the 4.3, just disable. Search only one transponder for channels where the issues appear and check.

I have 3 RPi3B in network, one I upgraded to LE 10.0.2 few months ago, without to experience any unusual issues with LiveTV.

Recently I upgraded the last two. Upgraded the tvheadend server to 4.3 (with 4.2 had some EPG updating issues, what is present in 4.3 too) and very seldom, was issues to start the LiveTV (only 1080i, stream blocked at first picture, in the media info "no deinterlace", at all clients, not only where the server running), two days ago I returned to 4.2 version, no issues yet. The "memory bandwidth required for deinterlacing" could be an explanation, in my case when the stream starting use too much memory/processor and lead (?) to deinterlacing issue... maybe... (RPi3B - smaller uP).

Hi,

You can try these:

1.

SSH to RPi, stop tvheadend service "systemctl stop service.tvheadend43".

Make a backup of your tvheadend server addon (/storage/.kodi/addons/service.tvheadend43 and /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.tvheadend43 - use ex. filezilla).

Start tvheadend in first run mode SSH: "tvheadend -C"

Try to use the web interface (without login - first run mode) to create new user with full admin rights.

Try to login with new admin user, if working, log out, SSH: close with control+c and reboot.

Check again if the new user working.

2.

Uninstall the tvheadend server addon, when asked keep the addon data (with all your settings).

Reboot and install again.

Try to use the web interface without user (at first run should be active without any login).

Create new admin user with password. Reboot, check.

About "transfer sat-channels & (auto-)timers from 4.2 to 4.3"... check the folders in /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.tvheadend43/

"input", "channel", "bouquet"... don't know if the 4.2 data is compatible with 4.3 version....

I had same issue with my RPi3 and tvheadend 4.3 setup (Astrometa tuners, 2x DVB-C + 1x DVB-T)... Same "green artifacts, glitches and distortion", only with 1080i, didn't tried to play with deinterlacing, I resolved after activated the "Force old status" in the tvheadend server tuner setup (web interface).

I spent some time to get working the dual audio output (DAC & HDMI) with PulseAudio on my RPi3, was unstable and the quality wasn't the best. Because I don't need really simultaneous audio (DAC for net radio & hdmi for TV and movies), I'm using now the "Audio Profiles" add-on and is the perfect solution for me.

If you need real simultaneous audio, use the solution proposed by chewitt, if your TV have any usable audio output, use it as audio source for headphone, if not use hdmi-audio splitter.
