Sure does, but happens. I just watched a movie for about 1,5 hrs. Before that I had rebooted to update to the latest nightly and the GUI was very smooth and running at 59.94 Hz. Now I checked the refresh rate and it’s around 40 Hz.
Top shows me this, so shouldn’t be any excessive load.
And now as I tried to resume the movie, Kodi crashed the way I mentioned earlier (screen goes dim, nothing happens, returns to main menu after some time). And looks like it’s trying to open the Avisynth script again?
Correct. There is a simple solution in removing the Overscan settings. And I never heard that someone calibrates it for subtitle position. But @Boulder you are free to use what you want. The Problem with the more GPU intensive Skins and native 4K GUI is that your Device can’t handle it. And btw. I am using native 4K with my Odroid N2 and Estuary v2 skin. I never have any problems but the N2 has superb thermal properties.
Also you are saying Hz but you probably mean FPS. Your CPU can be idle but your GPU is burning up.
You also get a lot of errors from “NEWADDON”.
Someone ask me logs on the same TV between version 8.95.5 (very stable and fast for read a movie file) and the 9.2.1 but now 9.2.3 out and issue persist. I provided the log April 12 but no one reply or give me any ideas for try to catch this issue
Your last “working” version was a beta for the previous major release. It is most likely it used different samba libs bot to mention a different Mediacenter version. Now you post in the nightly Thread with a problem about newer stable. This Thread is mostly to catch recent not ancient issues.
So I suggest you try several nightly version after 8.95 to narrow down when it broke for you.
I don’t know how Aeon MQ 8 didn’t have this issue. I’ll probably need to install it again and see what happens, as far as I know, it should basically use the same add-ons that the MQ 7 mod does.
What comes to subtitle positions… I wonder why there is no setting for relative placement. By default, they appear way too high from the bottom to my taste.
Is it really that problematic to reposition it again?
Make a backup of guisettings.xml then remove them and do some tests. If it’s still laggy at least you know that you don’t have to reposition them. If it helps it might be worth the work.
You can set the subtitle position to example “below video” under “Settings” → “Player” → “Language”. And it’s usually best to use external subtitle formats such as .srt. This way all my subtitles are always showing at the same position
What I meant by relative placement is that they could be set so that they always appear at the same height regardless of the output properties of the video. It’s a bit silly that for the same resolution, you have to set the subtitle position for each refresh rate separately. Of course, you only need to do it once but still…
I’ve now reset guisettings.xml and disabled GUI scaling, we’ll see how it works.
What I found out during setting things up is that a crash often occurs – or nothing happens when you click on a video to play – if you open a network folder and try to start playback while Kodi is scanning files for thumbnails etc.
