Timeshift performance vs Simple IPTV client

[mvallevand]

Kodi hasn't changed, Kodi is slightly slower time shifting because the client makes a few extra calls and waits for data to confirm success, in real-time mode Kodi cannot do this.

IPTV Simple is definitely going to be faster. I already explained the two logic for the two addons cannot be compared.

The reasons I suspect discarding segments as a potential issue is that four second delay with no data at all. On top of that it gives the Kodi ffmpeg demux more data to analyze for proper playback, which I note as an issue the log. Again I would need both the client and server logs to see if that is the case. You could check to see if recordings start quickly.

Periods with no data are possible if the source is m3u8 IPTV, since the data is bursty, with new segments arriving every 3-10 seconds or so.
