same tvheadend client playback issue as reported here 

Quote from juramusger

I have a similar problem but the link is dead. Where could I find this hack and does it work with Krypton builds?

add the following line to autostart.sh

mount -o bind /storage/.config/disp_cap /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_cap

then create a new blank file /storage/.config/disp_cap containing whichever of the following resolutions you want

480i60hz
480p60hz
576i50hz
576p50hz
720p60hz
1080i60hz
1080p60hz
720p50hz
1080i50hz
1080p30hz
1080p50hz
1080p25hz
1080p24hz
2160p30hz
2160p25hz
2160p24hz
2160p50hz420
2160p60hz420

Mine just has two resolutions in as below :

1080p50hz
1080p24hz

Not sure if it works in Krypton as I've not tested yet

ukdaveuk Do you use USB tuner for your TVHeadend setup? You may want to try the latest dev build as it has a fix for USB: LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0-devel-20161212221553-r23560-g512a087.img.gz

No its a pci dvb-s2 on a pc running libreelec with the tvheadend server addon

I run a TVHeadEnd server on RPi2 with ATSC TV tuner (Hauppauge HVR-950Q), both LibreELEC and TVHeadEnd are based on milhouse build. I had no problem with playback of TVHeadEnd client with the latest build on Mini MX (S905, 1G/8G). Client and server are connected via Ethernet. I did try using powerline networking but playback became jerky. I live in North America (data capture for one hour TV broadcast is about 7GB). I'm not sure whether this is applicable in UK.

BTW, have you turned on video acceleration of MPEG2? It was turned off by default and before I turned it on, video playback is jerky.

The channel playing was BBC1HD h264. But yeah in my proper build mpeg2 acceleration is on. 007 playback is perfect. All releases since i have had this problem

The patches I use for .010 have been in development build for 2 weeks IIRC and no one complained. Unfortunately I don't have a TVHeadend server nor any other PVR service to test. So far everyone else's results were very good and current a/v sync patch works best from all from what I can tell.

Hi kszaq, thanks for the reply. Yeah very frustrating, as I have two boxes (A95X S905X 2g/16G and a Driobox Ares 2g/16g) and its only on the driobox it does this yet .007 is fine. The A95X is working perfect.

I've tried a fresh install even with just tvheadend client on. My log is here KDhX and i've uploaded a youtube vid so you can see how severe it is Driobox Ares S905X jerky tvheadend playback on kszaq libreelec build 7.0.3.010 - YouTube

Again, thanks for all the great work

tvheadend client playback still jerky as in .008 and .009. Back to .007 for me.

How about this build: LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0-devel-20161125223042-r23455-gb40a2a3.tar ?

I'm trying to track down which change causes the issue. Thank you for your testing!

Sorry not able to test till sunday but for me version .008 was still stuttering for me but .007 was fine

Tvheadend 4.2 on pc dvb-s2 and tvheadend 4.2 on rpi2 dvb-t2 both stutter with .008 and .009 yet .007 working fine on my S905X

Quote from ukdaveuk

stuttering is on .008 as well, can't get .007 to load as getting can't mount tty job error message. Weird thing is my Nexbox A95X is working great, the problem is only on my new box a droibox ares (rebadged T95X I think)

Finally managed to get .007 on my box. tvheadend client playback working perfect on that version. Happy now.

Quote from mmpp

That is curious. My tvheadend installation is without problems. What hardware and software are you using as the tvheadend server? I am using a cubieboard with latest armbian and tvheadend compiled from git some weeks ago.

its just one client box which is causing me problems. I have a pc running the server on librelec with two s905x feeding off it. The pc is fine for playback and my Nexbox A95X is working great

I've just bought another S905X - Droibox Ares 2gb (T95X clone I think) and this the one giving me grief.

EDIT: Out of curiosity I tried the Android Kodi app and it is working fine

tested the development version. Playback results below :-

smb network files : plays flawlessly 35MB/s bluray rips
Youtube addon : flawless
tvheadend tv : Stuttering playback (worse on hd channels). Pressing the codec info shows the forward keeps dropping instead of staying near 100%

Ethernet. Normal videos play perfect including full uncompressed bluray. Playback of recordings are fine, the problem is just livetv

Fix for non-working BT in WH coming in next build.

Can you tell whether you had stuttering in .007 or .008?

stuttering is on .008 as well, can't get .007 to load as getting can't mount tty job error message. Weird thing is my Nexbox A95X is working great, the problem is only on my new box a droibox ares (rebadged T95X I think)

Can anyone interpret this log CJAg and see why my live tv from tvheadend is buffering all the time?

i have two different s905x boxes a Nexbox A95X 2g/16g and have just got a Droibox Ares 2g/16g.
Both stream from tvheadend on a Libreelec PC. The A95x tv is fine but the Droibox is very jerky on mpeg2 and even worse on h264 channels.
I've not tried 008 on the droibox but 007 doesn't even boot (get the tty job error message).

Has anyone found a solution for the jerky tvheadend playback on 009?

Hi~
I think you don't have TV with HDR support.
I don't have too.
You can test it on Android with HDR OFF.

Seems the exact opposite I'm having with one of my TVs, initially on boot the interface is darker (how I like it) but as soon as a video is played the screen is far too bright. My projector has a colour range setting auto, limited or full and when set to auto or limited it corrects the picture. My LG TV does not have this option

Quote from kszaq

Confluence skin, settings system video output use limited colour range?

This wont' work for Amlogic as this is not implemented in Kodi. You need to play with sysfs, I don't know yet how this works.

Do you have anymore info about sysfs? Is there a particular file I can modify?

Is that what you want?

Thanks for the reply. It doesn't appear to be in this build though. I can see it in my pc version of libreelec but not in this build. (Advanced settings shown)

I've even tried change as below in guisettings.xml as below, made no difference. It was set to false originally

<limitedrange default="true">true</limitedrange>
