Video player with hardware support and network buffer?

by Question_Of_Mind

Strange request this. I often watch IPTV on my Shield TV and I've not had much luck with kodi. VLC allows buffering but only with software, MX player has no buffering support... I'm looking for something that offers both.

Does such a thing exist on android that I can try?

Thank you!

Sorry that should read hardware decoding and software decoding.
