kODI setup

Hi troops,

Hoping someone can help me out on this one!

Picked up a couple M8 boxes on a deal on amazon - nice bits of kit!

However when I try to stream live tv on my rocket subscription, it works for about 5 minutes before starting to buffer/lag and fast forward to the point the live channel should be at. This then happens every 30 seconds and makes the channel unwatchable. It happens on all channels.

I know the service and my connection is fine because it streams OK using the same setup on my ubuntu machine that doesnt even have a graphics card (only the motherboard chipset graphics).

I have messed around with various advancedsettings.xml configs and I understand this language pretty well from a previous job I had.

Can anyone offer any tips to get these boxes running without the buffer/fast forward issue on the live iptv stream?

Using different android tv streaming apps live filmon and tv player all work OK so I know the hardware and net connection is up to it.

Thanks troops!
 
Old thread but I'll like to know too because I have the same problem with my M8S box.
