No, after reboot it is ok but it occurs even then at some stages but hard to log that and reproduce straight away.
Netflix woes are back!
Haven’t used my MINIMXIII s905X in a week or so, when I got back to it, the 19.4 Nightly 20220205 was waiting for reboot. Then I tried watching Netflix, there was a Widevine CDM update available (2007.something) so installed that as well, and now anything I play in Netflix slightly stutters and audio gets out of sync. When I press pause, video continues to run for some time before it stops…usually playing a video from the beginning starts OK but audio sync progressively drifts away. If resume, audio is already de-+synced and picture stutters…
Anyone experiencing the same thing, any ideas? Did the latest Widevine break something?
Have you tried to replicate the issue with a clean install (CE and Netflix only) from sdcard or usb flash drive?
No, I’m reluctant because I’ve gone through hell to install it in the first place…
What resolution of NF stream are you trying to play? S905X SoC can handle max 720p, with lower to medium bit rate. In Netflix setting enable VP9 profiles and then try.
Btw, latest Widevine works OK, did not brake anything for me…
There seems to be an issue with the latest widevine.
I went back to 4.10.2252.5 which solved the stuttering. Found lots of posts on the Kodi forum about it
Thanks to all. I did my search but found nothing about it. I have indeed restored a version of Widevine that was offered under “restore” option but with no success. I have also tried changing from h.264 but no change.
However I tried the restore again and I was offered Widevine v.4.10.2252.5. I restored to that version and it works!!! 1080p, as before.
Yes, this version works fine for now. Took me some time to troubleshoot before i found the issue
Moral: never upgrade if it works 
I am expecting at one point, the current version will be revoked. By then i hope the next version works 
With the 2/9 nightly I’m experiencing insanely high CPU usage; like from 18% on previous to a constant 90%+ on all cores.
This on N2+ (4g RAM).
And which process is running?
Running TOP it was kodi.bin that was spiking it, going from 30% to $110%!. Rebooting it didn’t fix it but disconnecting it from power for a couple hours has calmed everything down. A bit higher than previous but not abhorrent. Left it on for overnight and will see what happens in the morning.
Didn’t try nightlies for around 2 weeks. Installed yesterday nightly and again got error about TVHeadend and DVB channels not starting. Reverted to RC2 and everything ok again
Is there releases.json for CoreElec 20?
No as there is no ce-20 release yet
The last 3 Nexus Nightly’s 20220220, 20220219 and 20220217 all randomly hard crash Kodi when browsing certain addons, for example script.embuary.info and plugin.video.themoviedb.helper
It’s maybe better to reproduce the issue on a official supported platform and open a issue a XBMC GitHub.
CE is a bit fast updated so there might issues come up even TK doesn’t know about it.
