Who said that "it was working before"? It never worked properly for me. I got sick and tired of random Kodi crashes that were caused by HTSP. I gave up on TVH almost a year ago and never looked back.

More info about the issue is here.

Add this to /storage/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml
Quote<advancedsettings>
<omx>
<omxdecodestartwithvalidframe>0</omxdecodestartwithvalidframe>
</omx>
</advancedsettings>
and restart kodi. That file will play fine.

I had similar crashes when I used TVH/HTSP on Pi3. Fixed by switching to VDR/VNSI.

Watching BBC2 HD the green artifacts are back (intermittently as they were before).
I think that pretty much confirms that it is not a LibreELEC/linux.conf issue.

"We" think the problem is some setting at linux.conf that behaves >=4.9 differently to =<4.8 .
I did a test build using kernel 4.9.29 with an older linux.arm.conf (for kernel 4.8.11). I also removed CONFIG_HZ_300=y and CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y. This didn't make any difference, I still see an occasional video corruption.
-
but still occasional continuity errors when playing live - 8 errors in about 15 minutes
Run "vcgencmd arbiter set arm_uc 12 0" from ssh and see if it helps (you can add it to autostart.sh to make the setting permanent).
Also overclock the sdram to at least 550 mhz

no problem at all, DVB-S with DVB-Sky960CI running smoothly, no artefacts visible!
Try a 1080i channel, with deinterlacing method set to "MMAL - advanced".
The problem with with kernel 4.9+ and RPi3+DVB dongle is that you can't use advanced deinterlacing on 1080i channels due to frequent artefacts.
With kernel 4.8 (and older) there is no such issue.

I'm pretty sure that the issue is RPi-specific. For whatever reason it simply perform worse with kernels newer than 4.8.
I did some testing on Celeron J1800 board and I don't see any issues with Generic builds with any kernel.

I can confirm that VDR 2.3.3 does not start when epgfixer is enabled. Live-plugin works fine (RPi3).
-
Running 2.3.3 now on my RPi3 - seem to be working fine.
-
I just tried a kernel 4.11-rc4 build and it is just as bad as 4.9/4.10. Looks like we'll be stuck with kernel 4.8 for a long, long time.

Hey, with the latest MR release, will this bring about the same issues we have as still using same kernel?Official 8.0.1 RPi2 is still unusable for me. That's why I did a custom 8.0.1 with kernel 4.8.
I can only test the RPi2 builds. No idea what's going on with Generic builds, you will have to test those yourself. -

Any chance of a build for Generic x86_64 ?LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0.1.kernel.4.8.13.no.mb.tar
LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0.1.kernel.4.8.13.with.mb.tar
What differences for media build and no media build? Which should I try for raspberry 2 and tevii s660 dvbs2 card?
