Hello, been fighting recently with NextPVR live TV and Recordings with Hauppauge Colossus 2 card.
Thanks to Martin and Sub, have resolved one issue I was having with severe flicker and strobing.
However, I still have this really annoying issue, where randomly the playing video or Live TV stream in Kodi will zoom up, to the extent it looks like viewing image thru a microscope.
Very hard to replicate, but it does it at random, but only from the STB channels. (MySkyHDi)
It seems to do it whether I am using 720p or 1080i output from the STB.
It is the most bizarre thing I have ever seen Kodi do.
I am guessing it is somehow losing the aspect of both live TV and the recording, as if something in the video is triggering it.
I think it is some kind of video corruption occuring in the stream, as I notice that Kodi has issues resuming the recordings, and sometimes can not even start playing them.
Then, if I try again, it does play them once more.
Any ideas?. I know this is a really vague issue, but for me it only started doing this behavior when I replaced my original Hauppauge Colossus card with Colossus 2.
I was watching a recorded show NextPVR recorded rom Sky STB. 3 or 4 times the weird zoom issue happened.
I played back the same recording using Martin's NextUI client (UIDroid), and it does not appear to exhibit the strange zooming issue that occurs when viewing in Kodi.
If I say selected 'Recordings Auto Transcode' in NextPVR server preferences, could this help correct any video stream errors.?
