debian sid kodi: video plays back to live skipping instantaneous pause

Hello, I installed Kodi on linux debian platform. I have been pestered by this issue where video playback pauses to buffer and the moment buffering completed it skip forward to end of buffering and pauses. Then again it starts buffering and skips forward to the bufferred end and again pauses. It never playback the video. Can you please help me with proper settings to get rid of this issue?
