KODI - choppy streaming (slowmotion, without sound)

dzingis

Hi,

after last FW update (106) I'm having issues with videos streamed from servers (not Live TV).

It is not buffering problem, videos are just in slowmotion and without sound.

I was playing with Acceleration but with no success.

Any idea?

Thx

do factory reset

So, If I do factory reset, I shall update again to FW 106?

Why do you think that would help me?

My updates were only via OTA.

Thx

Factory reset do not require FW 106.

A factory reset is one way to eliminate it being a software conflict somewhere in the system, without having to manually uninstall and clear caches for a bunch of apps individually.  Basically it returns the box to a factory like state with whatever firmware is already on the box.

After you do a factory reset you should try streaming again before you install/custom configure any other apps.

I was thinking that factory reset resets box to state that it left factory :)

But, anyway that did the trick. :)

Kodi has only navi-x and exodus installed and everything works perfectly.

Of course picture is dark, but 4K trick helps. :)

Well done beelink, and thank you guys.

Glad it worked out for you.  

Here's a little tip, if you find that Kodi takes too long to close or freezes when you are trying to exit then remove Navi-X.  That seems to have fixed Kodi/SPMC hanging on exit for me.

Before factory reset it took ages for KODI to exit. Now exiting is fast.

I don't know why I installed navi-x, a haven't used it for months. EXodus meets all my requirements, I don't watch live TV so that one and only add-on is enough
