720 slow motion sports??

[palpatine]

I no longer can get 720p live sport stream such as bein sports it doesnt buffer it just goes in slow motion??
never used to before update

Common problem. Nothing to do with the update. Try experimenting with video hardware acceleration settings. Also try zem addon streams esp sports365. Also available in phoenix.

 

[palpatine]

ive experimented with hardware acceleration do diference apart from amecodec makes screen black.
I use zem mona bein sprots is slow mopton and other 720. It never used to happen before updat!! could it be a conflict with the advance setings

 

[palpatine]

yeh just tried 365 sports but its only 576 not 720

I can guarantee the problem has been there prior to the update. Nothing in the update affected the core processor or operating system. It is more likely to be an issue with Kodi 16 in general.

In the meantime, if adjusting hardware acceleration has not helped, try this. Go into section 2 (playback)outlined in the wiki and see if setting Adjust display refresh rate to match video helps.

ok will do tonight!!! wot about advanced settings ive got a uge selection on mucky ducks

 

[Nigelar]

I am sorry. I don't understand your last comment. The settings I am talking about are standard Kodi/dbmc settings.

 

[palpatine]

Since the problem you report is not due to buffering I cannot see how those settings will make any difference.
Still nothing to stop you trying all the suggestions out and reporting back with your results so the forum community can see if it helps.

Areswizard has a similar thing in tweeks and set up wizard.

 

[palpatine]

doesnt work anyways

 

[palpatine]

not mucky ducks il try ares wizard! So whats the diference between buffering and slow motion

 

[Nigelar]

Slow motion is more likely due to the way the stream is encoded then decoded by the box to display the film or live stream, hence the suggestion to experiment with hardware acceleration and/or Display refresh rate.

Buffering, you know enough about from previous answers we've given you.

 

[palpatine]

Ive tried youre advice on adjusting refresh rate but no joy!!!
Its only with 720 560 is fine

 

[Nigelar]

Well there we are then. Use 560 streams in future or find another addon.

I searched previous threads here, and someone had experimented with a lower version of kodi (15.2) and found the problem went away, suggesting 16 broke something (both kodi and dbmc).
I am not suggesting you do that as downgrading may present new problems.
But it is an indication of where the problem may lie.

If you go that route, you can grab older APKs for Kodi from http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm/old/ . You may well need to uninstall 16.1 before you're able to install something older.
