Just wanted to give you all a heads up before you upgrade… Unfortunately in Kodi 17 final if you use EDL files to mark commercials (edl_skip_field=3), the functionality doesn’t work quite right. From what I have seen the screen freezes and Kodi continues to play. Reports are generally that when the end of the commercial is reached the video will resume. I haven’t tested it.
From my research, it appears to be fixed in Kodi 18 and has been backported and will be included in 17.1. I don’t know what the schedule is for 17.1. LibreElec is affected 7.95.2 and 7.95.3 from personal experience and I assume 8 is affected as well but haven’t confirmed.
Here are some links which may be helpful.
