I know this is a fringe/bleeding edge client device (see Raspberry Pi 5 for info) so I'd normally be inclined to just pass on trying to troubleshoot this chanDVR-specific Playback problem and simply get by with the working chanDVR client on the TV's built-in Google TV, but ALL the other Apps (Plex, Tubi, PlutoTV, YouTube, HDHomerun, MLB.TV, Kodi, and more) installed here are absolutely KILLING IT in performance - fantastic problem-free video Playback and amazing App responsiveness. So, I'd really like to get chanDVR client app properly working on this device as well.
I've read the various Choppy video threads and tried all the fixes ... Turn off/on Surround Sound (System, Player, Both, Neither), Reinstalled App, Rebooted device, Tried switching Decode (Hardware, Hybrid, Software), Original Quality (both Direct and Stream tried), Tried different RPi5 Video Rez's, etc., etc., so forth and so on -- No Joy.
Client device is new RPi5 8gb on 1gb Ethernet LAN, modestly OC'd and fan cooled. (Underlying ARM architecture here should be similar to Shield, but updated.) chanDVR Server is newish 16-core Ryzen 9 with 64gb DDR4. All other concurrent on-premise chanDVR clients (1. aforementioned TV's built-in Google TV, 2. Google TV dongle on Wifi, and 3. two iPad clients) Playback just fine. So, this is a problem that is limited to this very specific chanDVR app on this very specific device. All of the (fairly disparate) Sources (HDHomerun antenna fed, Plex/Dizque channels, chanDVR Virtual channels, all other Custom channels incl. TVE channels) affected with very Choppy video and motion blurring - totally unwatchable.
Given that NO OTHER App (of the MANY others installed) is having such playback problem on this specific device, it would appear that a fix - if there is to be one - probably will come by tweaking something on chanDVR App or Server, or how the device specifically interacts with the App. Two diagnostic dumps (with and without Surround Sound) sent.
Thanks in advance for any helpful comments.
