Hi,
I started with Kodi 16 on my Sony Android TV early last year but had problems with the VDR plugin (failed to load the channels using VNSI). So I upgraded to Kodi 17 beta / now RC as soon as it was available in the beta chanel of Google Play.
The new Release is way better in the UI performance and also the VDR plugin works very well. But the video performance – which was OK after some changes in the settings of Kodi 16 – is unusable. I tried various settings for video and audio but the results are always bad. Depending on the resolution and source of the video, it variees from “some frames dropped” to “one image per second”. My use cases are DVD playback from CIFS/SMBFS or various recorded or live TV from VDR (SD and HD from satelite). All transmitted via cable network.
Are there some recommended settings to get a smooth video performance?
FYI: I used the same Android App on different smartphones and tablets in the same network and Libreelec stable (Kodi 16) and beta (Kodi 17) on Raspberries – none of them has a problem. Only the Android TV…
Thanks!
Tanati
