  • Tvh 4.3: Stuttering HD video / async audio

    I deactivated TVH 4.3 and enabled TVH 4.2. configured TVH 4.2 and voila - NO stuttering and no audio issues.


    As expected, this seems to be a reproducibe defect in the TVH 4.3 version provided with libreelec.


    Can one of the maintainer recompile the latest TVH 4.3 version available for testing, please???

    CvH may you help here?

  • Tvh 4.3: Stuttering HD video / async audio

    I have lots of issues with tvheadend 4.3 if it comes to german HD television. To be honest - it is a totally unusable version. I’m running on Intel platform with a Dell 7060 computer that has really more than enough power.

    The developers of tvheadend complained that the version i’m using is higly outdated. Is there a chance that you provide the latest version 4.3 build for download in libreelec?


    If the latest 4.3 version - that should be a final for about more than a year has no fix I would reinstall with a 4.2 that was at least running for nearby 15 years on an athlon - stable… the worse my super slow athlon gone broken ☹️

  • Comskip with Tv headend

    Just seen this is part of 9.0.116 addon version. Is it enough to update tvheadend and make the checkbox to skip compercials and it should automatically work? I'm in Germany... so EITp/f may not available on German television like Pro7 and so on. It's also not really clear to me if I need to install any addon to tvheadend to make this work.

    Please shed some light.

  • LE9: Tvheadend42 does not answer/crashes with timeshift enabled (default)

    Ok, after days of testing the issue persisted with timeshift to disk and ram disabled. After I completly disabled timeshift it seems to be stable now. I can try with timeshift to RAM only again. I have 4GB RAM, so 1GB timeshift should work well normally. But after this 1GB is full tvheadend automaticall moves the data to disk (at least documentation says this). This may explain why this issue persisted with timeshift to disk.

    I had only used normal HDDs for timeshift.

    Seriously... the #1 reason why I have a HTPC is timeshift feature. If this is broken the HTPC is really no longer a real benefit.

    Debugging such a reproducible issue should be possible... but how?

  • LE9: Tvheadend42 does not answer/crashes with timeshift enabled (default)

    Since I upgraded to milhouse builds later than june, my htpc locks up every 1-2 days. Locking up means i need to turn it off the hard way.

    I made same larger steps to september, end of october and latest. Since end of october at minimum one a day, often twice - hsts client complains it lost connection to tvheadend. After ~1minute it recovers. I guess tvheadend has been restarted. This seems not a hsts client issue as all running recordings at this restart are broken. The issues happened on hd and sd channels, often ofter a l long run time without any interaction with the system e.g. 2.5h on one tv channel.

    Where are the tvheadend logs? Any idea why the box completly freezes and need to be turned off? My users stressing because of this permanent instability issues. It‘s really annoying.

  • DVD fails to start

    This is where the issue is.

    A few lines later you see

    That is because the complete interface hanged and I pressed some keys on my remote to see if it reponds. But the complete interface hanged. Something you can see in the timestamps - there was nothing written.

  • DVD fails to start

    Debugging has been disabled AFTER the issue occurred. I'm not stupid. The file has no changes in order. Only internal hostnames/mac addresses and folder/filenames are changed.
