First off I am running Jarvis 16.1 on a 2nd generation i3 with video built in using windows 10. I usually start Kodi when I want to watch a video. Once a video starts everything works fine. Sometimes I need to adjust the subtitle sync and the OSD loads and I can adjust timing without a problem.
The problem happens when Kodi has been running a few hours – even if a video has never been played – or after watching a movie. In this case I’ll start a new video and when I want to open the osd sometimes it never fully displays it starts on the left and starts to paint the screen to the right but never finishes. Or I try to use the arrow keys to navigate to the sound control for instance it just freezes up. At this point I have to kill Kodi and restart it. Restarting clears the problem for the first video I watch but it means I have to restart kodi for every video.
The rest of the information. I am running transparency. I am using the emby addon. I play the video using Direct Play from a network drive. I have the same problem if I force trans-coding on the server and stream from emby instead of the disk directly. I have turned off video hardware acceleration – only using software decoding.
