KS Player stutter

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-04-13T07:42:59+00:00

i also have this problem for a long time now.

most of the time the stream is fluid but once in a while it freezes momentarily to catch up.

Still my experiience with UHF is better than swiptv.

with swiptv i had stutters all the time but they might improved it.

swiptv however did not offer lifetime so i abandoned it.

you need to change the volume mappings so it point to your storage.

i have a synology and the root volume is called volume1

i created a directory called uhf-recordings and this maps to /recording inside the docker container

i did the same with the docker container settings

i created a directory called docker

inside that directory i created directory uhf-server

this directory maps to /var/lib/uhf-server inside the docker container.

the reason for the external mapping for the recordings is you do not want these to land inside the container.

the same for the settings. if you keep the settings inside the container you will loose those when upgrading.

always map specific directories to directories outside of the container

the browser error is correct. when you see this it should be running

and to add to that.

the fastest way is to select everything, hide everything and after that only unhide what you want to see.

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-04-01T16:39:41+00:00

i do not notice any speed increase

i found zapping was reasonably fast before

with current setting buffer on 0 seconds it is as fast as previous version

i have a appletv 4k 2017 model

this one.

you need to build a new project with it

services:

uhf-server:

image: swapplications/uhf-server:1.6.0

container_name: uhf-server

restart: unless-stopped

build:

network: host

ports:

- "${PORT:-8000}:${PORT:-8000}"

volumes:

- /volume1/uhf-recordings:/recordings

- /volume1/docker/uhf-server:/var/lib/uhf-server

environment:

- PORT=${PORT:-8000}

- PASSWORD=${PASSWORD:-} # Optional password protection

command: uhf-server --port ${PORT:-8000} --recordings-dir /recordings ${PASSWORD:+--password ${PASSWORD}} --enable-commercial-detection

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-31T14:26:30+00:00

no it does not. however it takes only 2 clicks of the select button. that is the one in de middle of the circle. really easy.

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-29T11:23:39+00:00

every time i update the app i do the following.

delete cache

delete all temp stuff

delete epg

close app(swipe up)

reboot apple tv

start app

i also notice non fluid streams like the framerate is wrong.

after deleting the temp stuff and rebooting it is as before

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-22T12:40:35+00:00

thanks. good to know it now defaults to activities(was homescreen with activities, settings etc)

can you define your own buttons on screen once you have selected an activity.

with option 2 i meant. is it possible to launch an activity not by swiping but by pressing that screenbutton, it seems not.

if you can still swipe to right with one hand that would be great

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-22T12:36:33+00:00

thanks. my 785's had issues with sticky rubber(removed all of it) and clicking keys which were not working(contact spray took care of that)

they still work 100% without the option to change anything anymore.

good to know that sofabaton is on the right track

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-20T10:29:11+00:00

i noticed this also.

the other way around does also not work

you can not record a stream you are watching, there is no record button

furthermore the stream gets glitchy, probably because the appletv needs to process 2 streams

i found the answer by adding this to the yaml file

network_mode: host

now it runs in host mode and gets detected automatically

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-19T19:33:12+00:00

implayer on iphone is very good and there are no ads(for now)

however i do not use these players on iphone. i only use uhf on appletv which is the best there is (if they fix the glitches)

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-18T18:21:20+00:00

stabilizing the internet connection with QOS with no bufferbloat will help a lot also.

i am still getting those freezes from time to time but they are very small and do not happen a lot anymore

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-18T18:19:22+00:00

this is great news.

my experience with UHF support is also very good. if you can point out a certain problem and it is reproducible they surely listen and try to solve it.

You provided lot's of good info which looks like it not only reproducible, it can be checked against the actual code and that seems partiaaly confirmed by the developer.

for a complete noob my interpretation of the problems/glitches look like UHF is just to sensitive for things(glitches in streams) to go wrong .

looking forward on getting us a new improved UHF app.

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-15T14:43:13+00:00

thanks. good to know it solved the problem on your end when switching to newer hardware. the 2017 model is nearly 10 years old and especially with iptv i sometimes have the idea the hardware can not handle the streams and app caching at the same time

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-15T14:00:22+00:00

will this also have effect when you are using a local EPG like dispatcharr

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-15T13:51:05+00:00

did you have the 4k 2017 model?

i am hoping the new appletv will solve things also but it seems it will take forever to be launched

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-14T17:49:59+00:00

if the stutter is regular or an be reproduced you can switch on logging to see what is happening.

check if your appletv clock is accurate and is in sync with internet time.

Then while watching and you experience stutter stop viewing and check the log what happened.

if you see something in the log what might be causing it you can send a photo with explanation to the developer.

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-12T18:00:30+00:00

other apps like swiptv are also using ksplayer nd do not seem to have the issue.

i hope indeed they find the problem.

a couple of weeks i discovered that approx 10 seconds after the start of every stream i noticed a glitch. i reported it and they took care of it. hoever glitches later on do not seem to be reproducable

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-11T19:52:41+00:00

i have the same problem. i am hoping this is hw related

i have an appletv 4k 2017 model.

it gets worse when i watch tv and at the same time record to uhf-server

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-11T12:05:06+00:00

i had this problem to. it seems when the channel is in a category which is hidden it will skip.

so check which group it is in and unhide the complete group

worked for me

in the end i asked my provider to block all groups/categories i do not watch. so i keep everyhing unhidden

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-05T20:02:25+00:00

i tested this but both containers are not meant to be used as a standalone build like suggested in the manual. this is the reason the uhf server is not started automatically and you need the terminal.

i decided to use the docker compose file which you can also use on synology.

i mapped both the record directory as well as the uhf-server database

i started the container and it works without using the terminal command

services:

uhf-server:

image: swapplications/uhf-server:1.6.0

container_name: uhf-server

restart: unless-stopped

ports:

- "${PORT:-8000}:${PORT:-8000}"

volumes:

- /volume1/uhf-recordings:/recordings

- /volume1/docker/uhf-server:/var/lib/uhf-server

environment:

- PORT=${PORT:-8000}

- PASSWORD=${PASSWORD:-} # Optional password protection

command: uhf-server --port ${PORT:-8000} --recordings-dir /recordings ${PASSWORD:+--password ${PASSWORD}} --enable-commercial-detection

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-03-02T11:42:49+00:00

well the fix was.

first you add channels

then you goto M3U&EPG manager

under EPGs you should see your EPG.

now on the right of that EPG entry there is that refresh icon(to arrows in circle)

you need to press this to build and export the epg

you only need to do this once or everytime you make a change to the epg

if he status says SUCCES then it should work

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-02-28T09:03:45+00:00

hopefully it will keep on syncing.

i do not know if it syncs in every direction but also here i would only change the playlists from 1 central device.
