Hi guys, I purchased the Amazon firestick and installed Kodi, streaming live TV from box is working great but initially had some issues, sd channels where constantly stuttering so after some research I created an advanced settings xml and increased buffer cache size, worked a treat, i also created a custom bouquet as setting it to all channels takes ages to scan.
I previously used the RF2 output on my sly box to watch upstairs so still considering investing in a rf modulator but the stick certainly works though it needs a usb port or a spare power outlet on other tv.
Hi, can you please elaborate on what you mean with the “advance settings xml”? I have bought an Android box (Vens K1 plus) with the plan of streaming to a TV upstairs, I have the PVR Client set up in Kodi no problem and my chosen bouquet is showing but like you I’m getting really bad buffering even though I’m hardwired in.
I have also tried timote and that does work with no buffer but I always seem to pick up the audio description which I can’t find a way of turning it off when in timote? You can in Kodi.
Ideally I’d prefer to use the PVR client in Kodi as the user interface is very good I just need to sort the buffering issue.
hae you got the hardware acceleration turned on? And do you have the mpeg2 codec for hardware accelaration?
Neither of those sound familiar so I guess not, how do I do that?
It works fine when using kodi on the PC.
