Hello all,

I need some help with direct streaming and this particular STB, Edision OS Nino Pro.

I'm using direct streaming with the MidnightStreamer panel. Direct streams don't use FFmpeg, it's raw data streaming.

Well, all STBs and players work OK, but this particular Edision model.

Streams open but there are occasional glitches on random basis. If I increase the buffer timeout in the panel from 200ms to 400ms, glitches go away.

You could thing, OK, problem solved, 200ms more or less it doesn't make any difference, but it's not the case. I use direct streaming as on demand through multiple hops and I have a lot of Edisions OS Nino Pro attached to each hop. 200ms for 7 hops means a delay of more than 1 second for STBs opening streams from the last hop.

I have tried all versions of OpenPLi to the latest 8.3 but it makes no difference. Occasional glitches and artifacts are always there if the timeout is set to 200ms.

I wonder what's special about this model that causes glitches? Less buffer network memory, a problem with network drivers, a problem with the video decoder? Why does increasing the timeout to 400ms solve the problem?

MidnighStreamer support told me to contact OpenPLi or the device manufacturer as this is happening only on a single device, and I cannot say they are wrong because I have tried all STBs like Edision Mini, Nino, Mio, all VU+ STBs, all MAGs, VLC, exo player, but it's happening only on the Edision OS Nino Pro.

Does anyone know what is different about this particular model?

Thank you
