HTSP Client freezes at PMT switching

Kodi Add-ons
1

Hi,

my system is Odroid C2 with CoreELEC 9.2.5 watching TV through the HTSP client Addon. TVheadend runs on another machine with 4.2.8 using SAT/IP as a source.

In Germany there are regional broadcasts, which are switched temporary to specific regions via a PMT change. One channel to test the dynamic PMT switching is “TEST-R”.
I have the issue that the playback stuck at the switching moment each time and a restart of the playback is necessary. This is really annoying if you watch such a regional show once a day and the playback stuck at the start and the end of this show.

Playback with VLC works fine and switches probably.

Has anyone an idea to get a solution or a workaround?

Thanks & Br,
Matthias

The “large sync” error happen because the ongoing pts of the stream does make a “jump”. Maybe forward or to negative number. I see no way to solve this. You can ask at the devs of pvr.hts or you can try Amlogic-ng if possible as there is the negative pts handling “a bit” better.

Other solution should be to stop the stream and to start it again.

Yes, that what I did first and raised an issue in pvr.hts in github, but without response there.

How could do an automatic restart in that case?
The manual restart is that we are doing today.

Thanks & Br,

HI,

discussing this in the pvr.hts forum on github, it turns out that the issue is solved with Kodi 19 when using http streaming.
Is there an early version of coreelec with Kodi 19 available, which is usable?

Cheers,
Matthias

No issues on Windows PC:
Kodi 18.9.0
pvr.hts 4.4.21

No issues on Android:
Kodi 18.9.0
pvr.hts 4.4.21

BUT issues on Coreelec on Odroid N2+
Coreelec 9.2.5
Kodi 18.9.0
