Install an external player like MX, and make sure the decoder settings are checked for S/W. Set the emulator for external player as well. You post implies using an external, so I'm not sure if that will help, but the live channels require s/w decoding for most setups. (xmtv player doesn't require the settings to be changed)

mx player is the external for the vod
I am using the internal player to play live tv channels
sometimes it works then don't blacks out
I have rebooted unplugged
this was working before today

I'm confused. How do you use the internal player for live tv, and the external player for VOD?

[Kodi64]

click on menu then select mediaplayer then I have 3 options
vlc multimedia pluggin
internal player
external player
live tv will on ly work with internal player
external player in this case is the MX for VOD

[dara]

What are your decoder settings for the MX player?

[Kodi64]

it is set for all the sw like I mentioned this worked great up to today absolutely stumped
even with the mx player channel will come and black out

I'd switch it out for the xmtv player, to see if that changes anything. For the emulator, no one has reported any success using the internal player for live TV, even on a Mag 260.

mygica 582 2015 edition internal player works but very buggy not sure if it is the internal player or the app itself
T8 was working no issues till yesterday with the internal player
going to factory reset the T8 on the up and coming weekend see if something got corrupted in some sort of update that I didn't catch

Kodi you are not alone I have been in the same boat just like you long time ago and I gave up on it because of the too much time I spent on it without having the efficiency I was expecting although I understand it's for testing, so when it comes to the emulator it's not the functional way it suppose to be when it comes to the live tv so I found out to keep it just for testing the vod only while I use the stalker on kodi for the live tv.
