Hello.

I am running a LE8 with KODI krypton 17.1 (details below). I watch TV using a simple PVR client. After a couple of hours, when I leave the PVR running, the picture freezes.
I have sometimes noticed the very same behavior when I was watching a live stream for a long time so it's not "PVR only" bug (filmon free stream).
Checking the logs, the last line is always: (full log linked below)
"NOTICE: CVideoPlayerAudio::Process - stream stalled"

The problem takes a while to reproduce (sometimes about 5-6 hours) but it always reproduces.
In order to get KODI to "unfreeze" I should stop the stream (using "X" button on keyboard), open a different stream (opening the same one doesn't do anything) and only then I can switch back to the original stream.

I am attaching the full log as per rules but it is very long so I am attaching a snippet from the same logs too illustrating the problem: https://pastebin.com/DHc3iu6c (link to full log below)

From the snippet, I can see that the "freeze" happened at "05:38:09". When I arrived to check the TV at 11am, the picture was still frozen.
Sometimes, it seems the stream magically "unfreezes" after being frozen for couple of hours.

I am a software developer myself but I have no idea about KODI internals. Digging the code I found a where the problem happens but as I don't understand the flow I cannot see how can I fix it.

There as well seems to be a weird "sleep(10)" and that is inside a loop...
If anyone has any proposals I more than happy to implement it, recompile KODI and do a QA for the fix.

I have found another thread but on FireTV stick that seems to have the same problem but for them it seems that the problem got fixed.

Good day,

I have a strange issue. I recently built a new Windows 10 machine and installed the latest version of Kodi (17.1). I have created my playercorefactory and advancedsettings XML files to allow for external video playback with VLC, just as I did with my old Windows machine.

I am able to play MKV files that are categorized as movies without issue. Kodi launches the external player and returns to normal after the MKV file is closed with the external player.

The issue I’m having is with TV Shows, also using MKV files. Kodi will launch the external player and everything works perfectly. I can close the external player and return to Kodi, and everything within Kodi appears okay (I can navigate, click into menus, etc.). However, when I attempt to exit or launch another video, Kodi freezes and must be killed through Task Manager.

Again, this only happens when watching a TV Show. Movies play and act fine using the external player. And for what it’s worth, the MKV TV Show files will play perfectly fine using Kodi’s internal player.

I installed the previous version of Kodi (Jarvis) and the same issue occurred. It’s as if a script within the TV Shows is causing the hang? I do have a clean install with zero user add-ons.

Below is my relevant information and link to my log file:

1. Kodi Version 17.1
2. Windows 10
3. Intel Core I5 6600 Skylake
4. 16GB RAM
5. AMD Radeon RX 460, Driver Version 17.2.1 (AMD HDMI audio in use)

Thank you for your time.

For some reason this comes up when I try and install repositories.
