Ok,
I have a small computer that I use as home file and media server. So I can use it to play files stored on it using Kodi. It also has an Apache server.
So I try to watch movies on my tablet, served from my home server. I select a file using the default web brower, tap on it, choose play directly with VLC, and it plays directly without downloading the file in full first. It works fine. I can also select a point of the movie at random and go from that point.
But I can't do the same on my laptop, it can't cope despite having much more power. Intel video.
First I try with "kodi". Kodi can add video sources: I try "http" and "ssh". Both work, but after a bit the audio gets out of sync with the video. Same problem if I select ssh source (actually sftp). CPU load seems to be 80..90%.
So I try vlc:
vlc "http://Isengard.valinor/.../file.avi"
It plays, but also here the sound gets out of sync, and frames seem to be missing.
So I download the file with wget, then play it directly with VLC: plays fine this time. Local play.
Then I try another type of remote "download":
sshfs cer@Isengard.valinor:/ ~/fusermount/
which mounts the remote system at directory ~/fusermount/, and videos play fine. CPU load seems to be lower, around 60..70%
Most of the problems happen with videos recorded from digital tv stream (mpeg). But the same videos play fine when I use fusermount instead of telling VLC to do the downloading.
Kodi using fusermount with the same video file gets out of sync.
What should I look at? I can not increase the power of the laptop, and anyway, the tablet seems to handle the situation much better. Well, it is also a somewhat smaller display...
Ideas?
