I use MrMc for watching dvb-t2-hd-stations in Hamburg, Germany. For this I use the tvheadend-client. Unfortunately some stations can only be watched with glitches. I already tried to find the reason for this problem. Here are my results:
Only 5 stations are affected. However, among them is one of the most popular German TV stations: ZDF. Here are the other ones: ZDF Neo, 3Sat, ZDF Info, Kika ( I don't watch pay-tv - pay-tv-stations might be affected too).
The problem seems to be related to MrMC. I can watch the stations above without glitches with VLC Mediaplayer on the same FireTV2.
If I record something from an affected station, the recording is played fine.
All affected stations come from the same multiplex (ZDF-Mux). Technical details about this multiplex is available here: http://www.dehnmedia.de/?page=sender&subpage=tsender6. It might be relevant that that ZDF-Mux is sending with code rate 3/5 (data rate 22,0 mbit/s) while all other free stations are below this.
For VLC I use the address: http://192.168.1.7:9981/playlist/channels
This is a playlist including streams of all stations. Inside of VLC for Firetv I use the next track function to switch channels.
what is a default streaming profile on TVH server and is MrMC PVR addon setup to use something else other than default?
I am using pass as default and PVR addon is left at default setting, empty=default.
see if changing the stream profile changes the behaviour, HTSP should also work just fine and might not have the overheads of the full pass through one.
