Team Kodi recently announced the 18.3 point release of Kodi Leia. We have now prepared this for all supported OSMC devices and added some improvements and fixes. Here's what's new:
Ups, something is not right. I am experiencing massive buffering issues with 4K movies from Synology NAS. I have Vero 4k + 1Gb ethernet to usb adapter + nfs via fstab.
The NAS to Vero performance before the update was excellent, now it is constantly buffering …
Just FYI, this update fixes the problem I was having with NextPVR LiveTV stuttering. It looks like whatever you did to fix the issue in TVHeadend also fixed it for NextPVR.
Unfortunately the play-pause-play-pause-play stutter when playing tvheadend live tv (both DVB-S and IPTV) is still a problem for a Raspberry PI B+, though I think there has been a slight improvement. Otherwise no issues during the upgrade.
I don’t have a buffering problem but chapter skipping in 4k files is frequently giving me a sad-face playback crash (Kodi stays running). This is in the June release and the May one. Not sure when this regression was introduced, chapter skipping used to be rock solid.
The TVHeadend fixes were for locally attached adapters.
There were some generic LiveTV fixes, but I wasn’t sure if anyone would pick up on them as they were quite niche.
Nothing has been changed for Raspberry Pi. I couldn’t find any logs or posts on your side reporting an issue, so it’s unfortunately a bit tricky to speculate.
I did raise the problem when the first 18 early release was posted. There wasn’t anything in the logs either on OSMC or tvheadend. I’ll have another look when I get time and try to post additional detail and any log info that might be of value.
