freezing when playing with Nextpvr client

[pascalb]

I  just installed NexPVR on a Beelink BT3 Pro with ATOM Z8530 , freq 1.4GHz but it has a boost mode at 1.9GHz
I always thought that NexPVR was less requesting HW resources than Win10 Films and TV player, Windows Media Player and VLC.
bUt when playing the same video with LAV decoder for audio it freeze by moment. Same video with all other players
played without any freeze on this  ATOM Z8530.

Was I wrong in my assumption about NextPVR less eager in HW  rsources ?

NextPVR should be not appreciable better or worse it the decoders doing the heavy lifting. I'd wait for the next release to see if improvements in the ts reader help.

in software instead of increasing the CPU freq we use more core with a freq less than when using one core. Will the next release take advantage of 4 cores for example to decode faster ?

NextPVR is using only a couple % of the CPU itself. The bulk of the rest is down to the decoders you end using. The decoder decides if it uses multiple cores, or if it uses GPU decoding features etc.

The next release of NextPVR wont make any difference to this type of stuff.
