I use Kodi with OSMC with Raspberry Pi 2 and Ethernet cable. It has always worked very well and I very much appreciate the effort the Kodi team puts in.
With the upgrade to Kodi 17 however many problems have arisen. Nothing else in my setup has changed.
Videos are now randomly freezing and stuttering, more frequently for HD content.
It takes longer to start a video. Does v17 buffer more than v16?
The TV “resets” itself when starting and stopping video play. I was able to disable this feature in the settings.
FYI, the upgrade process to Kodi 17 didn’t work well. I had to log into the console and issue a reboot command after the process stuck for a very long time.
Are the hardware requirements different for Kodi 17 than 16?
Any suggestions, what can I do?
