Video stops playing and KODI crashes - Zokkel - 2014-11-16
Hello to all,
SInce KODI beta, videos (all sort of kind) stops playing at random times. Mostly resulting in a global system crash, sometimes just KODI crash.
When the video stops playing, the subtitles go on for a while. When I press any button on that moment, the system crashes.
Like I said, mostly I have to do a system reboot with the power button. On a rare occasion I can force quit KODI in OSX.
Two debug logs resulting in the same problem: system crash

System specs in signature and log-file. If more info is needed, just let me know.

does it only happen with files from samba? (try local playback too please)

I have the same problem, the videos play well in the early going when arriving in the middle of the film, begins buffer almost all the time!
I'm also using a NAS with windows server 2003.
I observe that the Yosemite, this trouble with wifi.
But because only after noon that begins buffer?

Yeah Just ignore my already Asked questions...
RE: Video stops playing and KODI crashes - Zokkel - 2014-11-17
To answer your questions:
- In my case there is no crash report. The video just freezes and I can't do anything anymore. If I force stop KODI or restart my Mac, no crash report is shown.
- I play all my content through SMB. I have a NAS connected to my router. My mac mini is also cable-connected to that router.
I will try these thing in the near future (didn't find the time yet, sorry)
1) disable my advancedsettingsfile
I'v had several buffering issues in Gotham and with the advancedsettings-file came the solution
2) play content that is on the hard drive of the mac (local files)
I never have done this before (I've always played my content through SMB since Dharma)
3) mount my network folder as suggested in: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=200025&pid=1756994#pid1756994

Ok waiting for your Results - fyi for the terminology Crash means the Software is closed afterwards what you experience is called "freeze" or "deadlock"
(there is no crashreport for the latter sadly)
RE: Video stops playing and KODI crashes - Zokkel - 2014-11-18
Memphiz, thanks for the intel. I will try to use the terms in the right manner now :-)
Yesterday I tried step 1: disabling the advancedsettingsfile. I deleted the file from the userdata folder and see how that went:
It's definitely a buffering issue again!
The video now freezes once in a while, the subtitles keep going, BUT now after 3 seconds or so the video set it selves to pause, start buffering and plays again in a correct way. That happened three times on a 45min TV-series.
I made a log file. The described problem happened at 20:51:40 T:4546641920

Tonight I will try step 2: play videos with the following advancedsettings file:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<loglevel hide="true">1</loglevel>
<network>
<cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<readbufferfactor>10.0</readbufferfactor>
</network>
<samba>
<statfiles>false</statfiles>
</samba>
</advancedsettings>in essence: cashing on the hard drive
If I'm correct the previous versions of XBMC (Frodo and Eden?) use to do this standard. I had no buffering issues back then.
The next step will be testing local files

Hi, I'm having the same problem with Kodi 14. Video reproduction freezes randomly.
Has anyone found a solution?
RE: Video stops playing and KODI crashes - Nimo - 2015-01-16
I had the same Problem with Helix. Not after every video but sometimes. And sometimes during Playback...
I used a clean Installation without Adons, just Aeon Nox and Yahoo Weather.
But today I upgraded to V15 and after few Hours watching tv shows I get no Crash for now. Maybe the new Alpha is better for me and you too
Cheers
