Hi guys! The first thing I have to say is that Kodi 17 works great even with 4k@60p videos that I was struggling to play before, so congratulations! That said, I will like to comment something about removing the possibility of having "Sync Playback to...

I'm currently looking for a TV box for under $80 which I'm going to be using exclusively for film watching from the USB stick. I don't need any streaming or internet features, I don't care about game performance, I just want something that will flawlessly and smoothly playback any 1080p format I throw at them alongside subtitles in the most popular formats straight from the USB flash drive or stick. I don't need analog sound or similar features, a plain old HDMI is enough. Having said all that, after my research it seems the sensible options are:

- Tanix TX8 MAX ($74) - generally typical specs (octa S912) but it's the only box in the range that I found to have 3GB of DDR4 RAM. The other ones are either 3GB DDR3 or DDR4 but only 2GB. On the other hand - will this difference be in any way noticeable, either now or in the future?
- X92 (couldn't find the manufacturer anywhere so I guess that's the whole name?) ($55) - for $20 less, we get the very same specs as the TX8 with the only exception being DDR3 RAM. It also has a display on the front (not that it's important to me but if it's there anyway, it's a nice addition)

Which one would you go for? Or maybe something completely different? Maybe I'd be better off buying something even cheaper if I'm not planning to play 4k anyway? Or maybe not but then again, is it worth paying almost 50% more the price of X92 for the fact of the TX8 having DDR4 and not DDR3?

Thank you a lot in advance for all the insight

I currently have Kodi Krypton v17. At times when I open Kodi it will open to a black screen, this is on my current Krypton v17 (& my former Jarvis v16). I found out the fix is going to Settings, Apps, Kodi & clearing the cache will fix this p...

I have tried this multiple times, and it always resets. I disable menu items in Krypton with the latest available Amber skin. Fresh install because the update hosed my SD card on my Raspberry Pi. Upon coming back 10 minutes later, I find menu items ...

On Kodi 17.0 (XBIAN 2017.02.24 on a Raspberry Pi 2) the FLAC playback experiences a very short, but audible, gap between tracks. As far as I can tell, the gap happens at the beginning of the subsequent track. It happens on FLAC, but not on on MP3, no m...

Just thought someone might find this helpful, and maybe a Windows dev might be interested:

I've got an i5-6400 with 16gb running win10 and Krypton 17.0, using Intel HD graphics output to a 1920x1080 TV. I've got a ton of image files on a local drive, using the picture slideshow screensaver. Some of the image files are 1920x1080, and some are a whole lot larger - I figure I'll upgrade to 4K soon, and maybe something even better some day, so why not.

Since 17.0, when the screensaver picks a very large image and tries to resize it down to 1920x1080, it crashes. The screensaver will freeze on the last successfully loaded image, and then when I go use Kodi again, it will crash while trying to reload the skin (Mimic).

WORKAROUND: using another program to batch resize all large images down to 3840x2160 resolves the problem.

Here's a sample chunk of log. The first two images it picks are 1920x1080 and work fine. The third is a very large image.
