Video player for live tv

[Gilles1945]

Why am I getting almost 0 freezing on (backup) live tv video player. But on primary live TV it's regularly  freezing every 5 to 10 minutes specialy on CBS USA channel like WABI TV5 News at 4 and some other channels.

That would be your service IMO

I use primary on both my services, and have no issues.   I'll often "try" the backup when I have an issue with some "corrupted" stream, but always turns out to be an issue on the server end, which is fixed shortly after.  I typically avoid backup, because I find the channel changes are just a little slower.

you're comparing apples to what?lol

My main boxes are a pair of xrs4900 running latest public (5.0.799).  Can't confuse the wife too much.  She has gotten used to them, so I'd be in the dog house if I change them on her.

But I do have my 2  X5 units, running latest beta. 

My experience with the players is similar on either boxes.   HOWEVER, on the 50.8xx versions just released (and beta), I have to say that the primary player is compatible with more streams.  I have a personal M3U with some "free" streams that I use, and in the past I had to sometimes use backup player for it to play.  Nowadays, the primary player plays them perfectly without a hitch.

I agree with you. It should be mandatory.
