[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1163849, member: 82144"] Okay, I'm getting to the limits of my knowledge here. If you're getting different results with KODI and MediaPortal even though both are using the same TV Server, logic says that TV Server is unlikely to be at fault. Therefore I'm going to turn my focus to MediaPortal. From your VODServer config file, it looks like the ffmpeg output frame rate is meant to be 24 fps: <entry key="ffmpegOutputParams" value="-vcodec mpeg2video -s 720x576 [B]-r 24[/B] -flags cgop+ilme -sc_threshold 1000000000 -b:v 64K -maxrate:v 2M -bufsize:v 1.4M -acodec mp2 -ac 2 -b:a 128k -f mpegts -"/> That's a long way from the ~7 fps you appear to be getting in MediaPortal, and it's also unusual for a TV stream. Normally a TV stream is either 25/50 or 29.97/59.94 fps. The thing that is bothering me from the previous log files is that the video renderer did not appear to be dropping frames. To me that seems really odd, because it's like MediaPortal thinks it is playing the stream perfectly.
