TVheadend choppy

Install last nightly and configure everything from scratch. Do NOT restore a backup.
Something have to break you system as you are the first and only one having such troubles.

Hi guys; it’s me again :wink:

FOUND the issue-maker: as soon as an EXTERNAL USB-GRABBER is activated in Hyperion.NG, the stutering / choppiness starts. deactivating the external grabber instantly fixes the TV-channels not being decoded in hardware!

Now - to the solution ? :frowning:

no reply from Bug Reports@hyperion forum – any ideas ?
(maybe switching to CE nightlies?)

Aaaaand. AGAIN:

  • Clean install of CoreElec 9.2.4.2

  • Clean install of Hyperion.NG addon

  • Clean install of TVHeadend Server + Client + Oscam.
    (Did NOT copy ANY files from a backup)

  • Configured it ALL from Scratch!

→ activated USB-Grabber with prio 230 ( internal grabber is 250/default)

after 3rd reboot, video-device for decoding TV is not available and only SW-decoding is available, which renders all CPUs to 100% !

__ I am sooo tired of all of this ___. :frowning: Hyperion Devs/Forum don’t bother at all, not even a single reply on this issue!

I am sorry but nobody of the devs do have a external grabber so we are not able to reproduce the issue. Also it looks like you are the only one having this issue so it can be related to user/config/hardware issue.

First advise for all TVH users: do not use TVH server and client on same hardware, it will only lead to unknown issues.

Also please keep in mind that the use of oscam is not “legal”! I just guess the use of TVH + oscam (CSA software decryption) + Hyperion.NG is too much for this small SoC.
So try to move the TVH server to another hardware and use TVH client and Hyperion.ng only.

I’m using all of them on my S912 KIII Pro and all works flawlessly. I got TvH server + TvH client + external HDMI usb grabber on the same box and I don’t see any issues - all works fine and smooth. Maybe it’s something about your configuration? Maybe you should change the resolution of the grabbed picture to something smaller?

These are my external grabber settings:

1.) a friend of mine has the same issues… I will test with an HDMI2USB grabber soon

2.) But for testing I will split Hyperion Server & Client to different Hardwares.

3.) Oscam Server is running on my Living Room equipment, and Cleint on S905x3 Hardware is on the next floor in my “Boys Room” - therefore not illegal. :wink:
But I will try on different hardwares (pi) and without oscam and keep you updated :slight_smile:

thx - will try out as soon as my new grabber arrives :smiley:

Every test/log have to be without oscam. oscam is a not legal tool to be able to use protected smartcards in local or shared usage. Any support request including oscam/card sharing will be declined and topics are closed.
Be warned @4ltj4
