Comment (by storchi):

 hello friends,
 i think there are thousends of users effected. google for "kodi iptv start
 delay"
 i am pretty shure kodi uses ffmpeg code. i see exactly the same stream
 start delays in several iptv plugins of kodi.
 current work arround for me is to use analize_duration, which means a safe
 value is far to long - 3s.
 testing with the local stream.dump is very fast, because you dont have to
 wait for the packets of the stream.
 vlc standard behavior is different. i think they dont want to decode every
 unknown stream inside the ts.
 how can i help?
 regards
