XBian/XBMC with PVR/TVHeadend experiences.

[dezi]

I do not believe, that this is an issue on cpu-speed. I can play the recorded streams via a smb:// video source in XBian pretty well. If i try to play the very same recorded movie (same WLAN, same USB-Disk on server, same hardware, same MPEG-2 codec, same Xbian) via the PVR-Addon and tvheadends http server, it does not work. Maybe the http protocol is not as effective as samba or the control of the player is different (wrong display ratio, stuttering).

So my question goes into that directorion of "optimizing" http transfer buffer sizes and so on. I am willing to do patches in tvheadend server to accomplish this, since i compiled and installed that from git/svn myself.

My envrionment is:

I have one Raspberry wheezie headless connected via 100 Mbit to WLAN router. This is running tvheadend + a huge disk via USB, shared with Samba. Works like a charm with an MacMini running XBMC OSX via WLAN.

Second Raspberry stuffed with XBian alpha 5. WLAN connect. Plays Matroska MPEG-2 Recordings via SMB path seemlessly. Does not do the same trick via HTSP / TVheadend. Also has the same problems with Live-TV. Which is the real problem.
