9.2.6 Discussion

9.2.6 stable on odroid n2 - freezes video. The source of the video is NAS (Samba). This usually happens after fast forwarding the video. Kodi GUI also freezes. The same problem occurred in night releases after version 9.2.5. Downgrading to 9.2.5 fixes the problem.

The same problem with freezing video (sound disappears a few seconds earlier) when playing a file from eMMC.

Do you use default skin?
If no then check if you have same issue with default skin?

47

Why didnā€™t you report it when it happened in nightly after 9.2.5?

48

Sorry, did not clearly localize the problem. I decided there was something wrong in my system

49

I am using standard skin - Estuary

50

Please also try to collect kodi log at time it freeze
cat /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log | paste
May be something will be visible there

Update. With original skin there are also issues: sound stopping but coming back after about 10 seconds or when skipping. I will create logfile later today

try clean install, only switch to default skin does not solve it

Thanks! Other thing to ask is how to update in this case? I guess OTA update, nor the common update tar file copy method will not resolve this, as it will update the ā€œX2 genericā€ image as that is what originally installed on the SD card for this Boxā€¦? So I guess I need a ā€œfrom zeroā€ fresh new burning of the new 9.2.6 ā€œGT1 miniā€ dedicated image? Please someone make it clear form me!

56

No, just update with 9.2.6 and after update replace dtb.img with the new one available.

57

9.2.6 runs smooth as silk on my N2/N2+. No issues with playback freezing when skipping ahead/backwards while viewing content on my SMB & NFS shares. The Mrs is loving the automated bluetooth reconnect.

Continued thanks to the hardworking Devs.

58

I did a clean install of 9.2.6 (N2). Now there is no freezing of the video. Everything works perfectly. Although I have not restored the configuration completely yet.

Good that you tried it already, because I didnā€™t find something wrong in your logs.
So it possible some config or addon issue.

Hello,
during video playback, minor twitches occur at repetitive intervals. Log - http://ix.io/2QN2
I tried too 19 nightly - the same problem.

61

Looks like whitelist feature is not working correctly in this case and it use 60Hz instead of 23.976Hz

2021-02-25 09:17:06.996 T:4064755728  NOTICE: Whitelist search for: width: 1920, height: 1080, fps: 23.976, 3D: false

Try to switch off whitelist

Does this video work correctly on 9.2.5 with whitelist enabled?

62

Hi and thanks a lot for the great work devs!

Iā€™ve updated from 9.2.5 on an ODroid N2+ and Iā€™m having issues playing videos: the sound goes on and off, the video stutter and, finally, kodi freezes completely (need to restart it using ssh)
Here are the logs (no whitelist, 1080p, 23.98hz) :
kodi.log: http://ix.io/2QNr (couldnā€™t use the GUI way so did ā€œcat .kodi/temp/kodi.log | pasteā€)
dmesg: http://ix.io/2QNq

I also tried with whitelist ans 60hz: http://ix.io/2QNu

The same file reads fine on 9.2.5.
Iā€™ll try with a clean install to see if it helps and report back.

Please collect this logs for more details

After that please downgrade and upgrade again and if all works collect new logs to compare
