Hello!
Two questions as I’m interested in a Vero 4k…
How is it at mpeg2ts broadcast streams that have errors? That is, how is the player at recovering and playing in in spite of broadcast errors? I ask this because I have OSMC running on a RP2 and it does a pretty good job playing ATSC OTA via tvheadend hosted on another server, but sometimes the little box struggles to get past errors. I’m guessing this is due to the hardware decoding (I got the mpeg2 license for the RP2) and it just getting “stuck”, and having very little in terms of recovery support.
I know it can only play as good as the broadcast and I’ve done just about everything I can to get as clear as a signal as I possibly can but in spite of my efforts sometimes a gust of wind on a sunny day seems to provide the occasional error that the player will hang at. Sometimes it’s bad enough to kill the box and it auto reboots. This even happens off some recordings and I even post-process them through ffmpeg doing a stream copy if there’s more than a few recording errors.
If the Vero 4k can keep chugging along and get recover when the signal is good again then I’d be all in. My googling hasn’t been able to bring up peoples experience with this so I thought I’d ask here!
Second question: How is buying this box from the US? How long does it take to get over here and is there anything else I should be aware of?
Thanks!
