I would like to jump into this topic as well. I'm using DVB Link but having the exact same Problem since KODI 15.
KODI 14 is working fine. Also KODI for Android Version 15 is running fine. Only my Windows Version is affected.
Also tried adjusting the buffers, without success.
It is a very frequent stuttering. The frequency differs from radio station to radio station. I think it has something to do with the bitrate, but its only a guess.
Someone of you guys solved it? I'm thinking of going back to Kodi 14.2
Kodi 15.2 @ Android TV (Nvidia Shield)
PVR Backend: DVBLink/ DVBLogic with DigitalDevices 2xDVB-S & 2xDVB-C,CI DeltaCamTwin @ UM02 & HD02
Media Backend: EMBY

Hi,
Just wanted to add my own experience of the PVR DVB-S Radio stutter problem. I’m experiencing stutter on the following configurations..
Windows 15.0, 15.1 and 15.2rc1 with Mediaportal TV Server 1.12 (Client/Server)
Android 15.2 and Mediaportal TV Server 1.12
In all cases ‘pausing’ playback then ‘playing’ again stops the stutter. If a new radio channel is selected then stutter will start again until you ‘pause/play’ again.
In my configuration 14.2 works with Mediaportal TV Server 1.12 without any stutter problem.
I’ve also tested against DVBLink 5.1 PVR as well. Again with Kodi 14.2 there is no stutter but with all 15.* versions radio stations stutter occurs until you ‘pause/play’ again.
DVB-S TV stations all work fine. I don’t think the problem is anything to do with Mediaportal/DVBLink as they work fine with other clients. I think the problem is something specific to a change including in the move from 14.2 to 15.*. Possibly something to do with ffmpeg and/or, as suggested elsewhere, differences in the bitrate between radio and tv streams.
I’ve also tried the DirectX11 builds and these exhibit the same stutter problem.
Would welcome any suggestions on further investigating the root cause of this problem.
Many thanks.

I have exactly the same experience as Martini including resolution by pause and restart.
I too have Mediaportal TV Server (I think it's 1.11 or .1.12 - but I'd need to check, if it's pertinent).
My 14.x android client works. My Windows 15.0 and 15.1 do not.
Similarly, all TV stations are fine.
Hope that helps

Same here and I did not change anything in the plugin between 14.2 and 15 so it is something in Kodi itself that causes it.
As soon as I have time (still too busy with other things) I will see if I can figure out which change in 15.x is responsible for the hickups.

Hi - quick update. Still getting this problem with 15.2 RC2
Should I report it elsewhere to make sure it gets looked at as part of future changes/fixes?
Thanks.

An update.
Tried Kodi dsplayer (which uses directshow filters) and there's absolutely no stutter.
So, it's definitely kodi's fault, not Margro's plugin.
Don't know why it happens only with mediaportal backend, though.
Bye,

I too am having this problem (Stuttering on DVB-T Radio stations - Live TV is fine even for channels on the same transponder)
I am running the following
Windows 8.1
Mediaportal TV Server (Version 1.12.0.0)
Mediaportal PVR Client (Version 1.10.9)
kodi 15.1-Isengard
I would be happy to provide any further details required to help figure this out, should I upload my entire config setup for kodi? and or Media portal backend?
Anyway - just to confirm pausing the playback and starting it again fixes the stuttering until you change to another radio station.
Thanks

Nothing will be changed in 15.2. Still did not have time to investigate this further...

It's a bug in the player, not much any addon can't do about this. The issue is fixed in Fernet's player rewrite though.

Tried latest 129 version of Margro's plugin and there's no radio stuttering.
Anyone can confirm?
Thank you,

Ooops! You're right! It was still dsplayer version that has not that problem.
