Adding extra time at end of recordings

The padding feature to add a few minutes to the end or beginning of a scheduled recording appears not to be implemented in the Vbox add-on. Broadcast programmes often don't work precisely to their scheduled times and the actual end time can extend pas...

Two Kodi instances not seeing each other

Hello guys, I am new to Kodi - but not to computers and networks - I looked for documentation on the following issues but could not find anything specific; instead I found a whole lot about similar problems. I hope it is the right section of the forum ...

Having Trouble with Live Mix

I have recently been having trouble getting programing on Mettlekettle's Live Mix addon. When I click on the program(s) I want to watch I'm taken to another screen, but there is nothing to click/check, so I end up at a dead end. What's up with this?

1.25x Playback speeds and fine speed adjustments?

Hi. I use to watch my shows using ACE/VLC player which I believe is the most popular open source player used. I use this feature to playback the videos at speeds other than 1x. I usually pick something like 1.25x or 1.33x which is just fast enough to w...

Video Stall issues since Win10 Anniversary?

For the last week or so, the reliability of the video has been quite unstable. It's almost as if the CPU usage maxes out, and the program crashes (clicking on the screen brings up the "has stopped responding" box), even though the audio continues - if I wait ~5-30 seconds, it will typically re-sync, although it has crashed completely a few times (after being basically bulletproof since the spring). I almost exclusively use x265, and it's not a file corruption issue (they play perfectly in MS's "Movies & TV" - ok, I lied, it does the same thing... $#!^). I had the release from April, and just upgraded to v17.B2 hoping that would solve the issue - and obviously it hasn't. Even more inconsistently, I can skip back 10 seconds or a minute, and the video will not stall in the same area. I have run the file from the local drive, from a NAS, and even from my RAMdrive, with no differences.

As I think more about it, when playing .avi or .mp4, the stalls don't happen. Is there something in the HEVC/x265 codec that could be causing issues as of late? I've been x265-almost-exclusive for several months, and this has been the first issues.
