When I try to stream television from for example svtplay or other websites where they use m3u8 "playlists" files (HLS streaming), xbmc does not use the cache/buffer (the video information shows 0B 100%). This causes the video playback on my Raspberry PI to stutter badly when playing back video.
If I play single segements within the m3u8 file cache is used (5meg in my case) and playback is perfectly smooth.
Also I have downloaded/reassembled some of the m3u8 files to my webserver (using ffmpeg) and streamed from there, perfectly smooth playback, cache is used.
I also opened a issues on the svtplay plugin github page on this, but since it seems to be a issue with how xbmc handles m3u8 streams I post here instead.
For reference: (svtplay plugin: https://github.com/nilzen/xbmc-svtplay/issues/58 and nrk plugin https://github.com/takoi/xbmc-addon-nrk/issues/8 )
Is there a setting/patch to make xbmc use the cache when playing m3u8 streams?
I use xbmc 12 rc3 on raspbmc.
