I apologize for the previous bad post.
I have deleted everything and reinstalled Kodi 17.6. No changes other than to add a couple of plugins from https://kodi.tv/addons/plugins.
I am reposting my original post.
One example: Russia Today News live stream - Kodi caching seems slower than the playback causing continual pauses to "catch up". Live streams in Safari or Firefox do not appear to have caching issues.
At the bottom of video is a white bar and a blue bar with timing counts. I assume the white bar represents the length/cached portion of the video and the blue bar represents what is being played back.
My problem is the blue bar overruns the white bar causing a pause while the caching catches up. This can sometimes essentially be continuous.
Ethernet or wifi makes no difference.
I have played with advanced settings directly and through Aries Wizard and can't find a combination that eliminates this issue.
Would appreciate any help, thanks.
basic info:
Mac Mini OSX 10.13 - 8GB
Kodi 17.6
Internet 6 Mbps - get a speed of 2-4 Mbps when Kodi is running
With this internet connection, I have NEVER had problems viewing Netflix, Tubi, YouTube, Britbox, or live streams. with any of the following - my Mac, Apple TV, or a Samsung SmartTV
