Why do all HD channels play in slow motion?

It's been over 3 weeks since NFPS has moved the HD stations but they are still unwatchable. Slow motion, buffering, freezing and no improvement. Getting very annoying as there is no communication between NFPS and the customers.
 
whats your setup please. I mean what box do you use? what portal? what have you done so far to resolve this issue? may be little more info would help fix your issue.
im doubt its on NFPS because whenever its on their end they always post in announcement section. try to reboot your modem, router, reset your portal..ect might help fix your issue.:cool: please let us know:)
 
The problem appears to be related to Android Platform.

*Using KODI 17.6 Default Player (internet BW - 65Mb) & Prime time eastern std. time.
Very noticeable Jitter (stop&go), Bit slips,(1 frame gets stuck and next frames play through the 1st image), Video goes out of sync with audio, and Video goes slow motion while audio continues normally.

*Using Perfect Player & VLC (Android)
Problem reveals itself as a 1-3 second pause, then continues for ~15 sec's then repeats.

*Using Kodi 17 on PC Platform
No problem occurs. ???

Reading up on it.

Confirmed this is an android problem and is related to decoding of h.264 encoded 1080 video streams.
Most Android OS variants no longer have enabled code for AMCodecs, only MediaCodec & MediaCodec (Surface)
This then requires software decoding of 1080 h.264 streams, causing most processors to run at over 400% (multiple core usage), causing video output to be non-contiguous, (full of errors!!!).

Just passing along the knowledge...

Tried also and no change so it must be on their end. Papaio confirmed last week in an email that they are trying to get things back to normal as soon as possible after I told them the HD channels were in slow motion, freezing, pixelating, etc for weeks.
