Hello everyone, this is my first thread and I wanted to explore a topic that kinda interested me since I was looking for an IPTV player for my 3rd gen iPad.
You see, I have already configured the PVR IPTV Simple Client Add-on onto my Krypton client, and it is impressive that it could also handle EPG synchronization apart from importing the M3U list.
This issue has been happening to me with the HD channels, mainly, instead of playing normally, the video playback tends to slow down to some extent, sometimes with buffering or even stuttering issues and I have already tried a lot of stuff said on the internet and on these forums:
- Disable Hardware Acceleration (Otherwise the app would crash when trying to play a channel)
- Tweak the cache memory size and read factor (Manually modified advancedsettings.xml file).
- Modify the chunksize (Already set it to 512 KB).
- Change refresh rate and HQ Scaler (Settings not even avaliable on Expert Mode).
- Changed buffers used by graphics card from 3 to 2.
- Change rendering mode (Set by default to auto and completely greyed out)
- Disable De-interlacing and change video rendering method to “Nearest Neighbor”.
- Do a fresh install of everything on different versions.
- Update Kodi to Leia (It doesn’t work, it completely hangs when selecting a channel).
I don’t know what else I have to do to make the video play smoothly. And the most curious thing is that I could play the same M3U list onto VLC and it plays smoothly without any issues.
Here is my advancedsettings.xml config:
<advancedsettings>
<cache>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<memorysize>157286400</memorysize>
<readfactor>10</readfactor>
<chunksize>524288</chunksize>
</cache>
</advancedsettings>

Thank you once again.
