[VDR4Arch] Iptv plugin audio interruptions

Dear all.

I have VDR4Arch docker headless installation on Unraid server with DD-Cine S2 cards installed. no problems ever experienced so far.

Last week I wanted to experiment with IPTV plugin as I have been given a playlist to play with.

IPTV Plugin installed, VDR is seeing the channels from the channels.conf and they are transferred correctly to Kodi with VDR-VNSI.

Unfortunately I have interruptions in sound which according to the log from VDR is due to VLC. The video picture is very stable and no dropouts can be seen.

I have installed and reinstalled VLC number of times but unfortunately the errors in the log remains the same and I am lost now:

The stream works perfectly without any sound dropouts when I play it directly with VLC on a mac and Windows pc.

I would be extremely happy for some ideas to try.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards.
