New MiBox - Kodi - Live Streaming Stuttering

by trevordbs

I have Fiber, so I know it's not my internet. I've used a few applications to live stream some sports tonight; applications specifically in Kodi.

IPTV Provider (2)

Free App (uses reddit links)

(1) Provider is fairly well, I don't see stuttering using VLC Streams on PC. Stutters on MiBox

(2) Stutters only Mi Box

(3) Stutters only on MiBox

Is their something the Mibox? or Something with Kodi on MiBox? Streams on Android Apps work fine, with no stutters. anyone else have these issues.

I've also tried .m3u play lists outside of Kodi. Stutters seem to be not as often, but still verry noticeable.

EDIT

I have two MiBoxes. I did a speed test on both. MiBox1 (closests to the modem) only gets 30 mbps; while the second one(few rooms over into the garage) gets 80/90 mbps. That's really weird.

Yeah I think I have similar issues with stuttering. Also noticing a huge sync issue between sound and video when trying to cast from the chrome browser.

Not sure if I want to return it not...

im having issues with spmc live hls streams but these same streams are working when chromcasted to same box so it's not my network. thinking of trying the krypton kodi beta to see if it's better...

The Nvidia shield is the way to go. It was designed as future proof as possible (oxymoronic statement as that is). Either way, whether you want the 16GB or larger storage version, the CPU/GPU will be plenty fast to deal with the performance needs of HD and QHD streaming, while handling 5.1 audio playback. I don't use mine for gaming, but as my TV/media hub.
