Video and buffering issues since t8 pluss update???????

[palpatine]

Has any one noticed any video lagging and stuttering on dbmc since the recent update???
Also live tv seems to buffer alot more???
Is it only me???????????

 

[Natval]

yes to all 3 issues , mine would also hard crash the whole box on any real debrid links, copied the installation to kodi and it was fine,

 

[palpatine]

wot u mean by copied installation to kodi? and it was fine?? I made a bak up of my addons folder and data and factory set my droidbox and re pasted folders and it still has same issues

Are you running dbmc or (vanilla) Kodi?

 

[palpatine]

dbmc

 

[Nigelar]

So try this.
Make a note of the addon, film and source you are having problems with on dbmc (you need to be exact).
Now open kodi (not dbmc) and install just that addon (check the seo michael guide for help).

Now replicate exactly what you did on dbmc (same film, same source) and report back.

 

[palpatine]

i know its not the addon coz it doesnt happen all the time the glitch happens randomly not in the same place or on the same addon

 

[Nigelar]

Well my advice is to continue testing Kodi vs dbmc and report results.
You can choose not to.
30 years of testing various systems counts for nothing I suppose.

Have you tried loading up areswizard and then going to tweeks and then run the set up wizard, this sets up your advanced XML. Just follow the instructions and then reboot kodi. See if this helps...

Also have a play with the Acceleration setting in system then Video and Acceleration.
Unhighlight amcodec (surface).

 

[palpatine]

unhighlight??? all the tutorials advice you to highlight amcodec to stop stuttering

 

[Nigelar]

@palpatine. People here are trying to help you. Challenging or ignoring their advice is probably not the best way to proceed. If you want to follow what the "tutorials" tell you, then go ahead.

If this helps - I have video acceleration now on and its way better. Just my findings though. Smooth

Sorry I was meant to put MediaCodec one not amcodec, sometimes in kodi you have two, one says surface next to it. That's the one you unhighlight....I'd had a long day so made a little mistake...

 

[David Savage]

Yes amcodec should be highlighted aswell.

 

[palpatine]

@Nigelar see I was right some times challenging helps

 

[palpatine]

I spoke to droidbox yesterday they are looking into the issue apparently it is the update so I wouldn't mess with settings just yet . Last week before I updated my video was smooth as anything

My apologies. Sorry.

 

[David Savage]

My apologies. Sorry.

Not need to apologise for my error, it was late and I was away from my box to check.
Simple error, but mine...so I apologise for the mix up.

Regards

ok yesterday i noticed some live streams have a green screen. You tubes asbyt suggested un tick the amcodec and keep the others highlighted.
This has fixed the green screen issue but conflicts with the video playing . Any comments???
