Hi there, Kindly help! Issue: Eight out of ten times when I open KODI on my TV, there is NO sound (not even the default system sounds) at all. But I have found a weird but 100% safe, tried and tested workaround (mentioned below) to bring the sound ...

Hi everyone, I have an issue when I play videos. After a while (between 5 and 10 minutes generally), the sound start to be jerky, and I have to stop the video, then start at the same point and no more sound issue. It happens with 1080p and 720p. I h...

I have Doctor Strange 3D and it's not showing as 3D. It plays fine though. My copy of Edge of Tomorrow 3D shows it's 3D though. I have them both labeled the same way: Title (Year) 3D.mkv

I don't see play count anywhere with a fresh install of Krypton on Windows 10. Do you have to get an add-on for that? I'm new to kodi.

Hello All. I used a guide to install Kodi on an Amazon Fire Stick. Kodi is not an "approved" app in the Amazon app store. Full disclosure: I did this intentionally to run the Exodus add-on within Kodi before I understood the ramifications of this. I ...

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.
