Attached please find a sample log. The issue is that the iptv stream does not stream continuously but with a lot of buffering. Log

My system is an Asrock J3455-ITX with hevc.

As a client I am using a Raspi with libreelec. I tried a Rapi 2 with libreelec 8.2 with Kodi 17.6 and a Raspi 4 with libreelec 9.2 with Kodi 9 and TVH client latest available version.

My problem with different version (latest, 4.2, 4.2.1): When streaming with pass TVH tries to transcode the stream which is not necessary at all (IPTV). Is there any option to supress this behaviour? Thank you.

Finally, I discovered the problem: when streaming over the internet I used the streaming profile "standard" instead of "pass" even though "pass" is the standard profile in tvheadend. On my raspi it works with standard and "pass" as the standard setting. Sorry to bother you and thank you.

I just tested my setup in the remote site. I can easy stream 4 HD IPTV videos simultaneously without any buffering (no more devices to test even more streams). Only the stream via internet is buffering. Again, my raspi 2 in the same network can transport 1 hd stream without buffering; my server with the docker setup can't. Any hint where to look? Thank you.

There is no transcoding involved. On my Raspi II tvheadend works like a charm without any buffering at all. The same channels on my more powerful server show very heavy buffering after 1 second all the time. CPU and RAM are OK. (16 % CPU and 1,4 GB out of 4 for the entire system and for tvheadend 98 MB RAM and almost no CPU).

It is not directly related to tvheadend. In kodi you can setup a buffer / cache to avoid buffering. When using tvheadend from inside kodi you avoid buffering. What I am looking for is a similar buffer / cache for the docker image.

Is it possible to set up a buffer for the docker image? When using a raspi with tvheadend and buffer I can watch TV without interruption. However, with the docker image it does not work without buffering on my mobil devices (Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad). The apps for Apple products do not offer a buffer. Thank you.
