Hi,
My N2+ is connected directly to my TV with a HDMI cable.
Running CoreELEC 19.2-Matrix_rc3
Every time I start a video, the buffering circle appears for 3-5 seconds and this happens around every 30 seconds to every minute all the way through the video.
On the same TV (A Philips with Android TV) I also have Kodi installed and here there are no issues.
For some it writes this in the log:

For others it’s:

I have tried pretty much all settings under AUDIO for Audio Output devices and passthrough, but none of them works properly.
What to do? Is it an audio/HDMI issues or some buffering values that should be changed?
Would have uploaded Kodi.log but apparently new users can’t.
