I am running w/ubuntu 14.04.2 and kodi 15 my logfile can be found at http://pastebin.com/D4DAm4bs My video card is an nvidia and the driver is v340.76. After I have been running kodi for some time my screen freezes whilst audio continues. I have searched around for this and find it a not unknown phenomena. I also noticed that there are few suggestions as to how to fix it. The logfile I sent seems to have blown up when the freeze occurred. I am playing videos from a system drive (already downloaded). The only solution I have found is to reboot the system which is irritating but takes only about 4 minutes. Given the amount of time running Kodi this hits I have to wonder about Kodi 15. A memory leak, for instance, could do this. I would check if possible but my entire system locks up so there is no way to check memory (unless the logfile is continuously reporting it (I haven't read the logfile))
I tend to also believe that this may have something to do with setting the zero cache option (because I recently set that option). I should also add that the zero cache option did not fix the continuous buffering which I thought a bit strange in that I have a LOT of space on my drive (close to 1tb) and 8 gigs of memory (2tb drive). I do notice that everybody talks about "Sync Playback to Display" and wonder where that setting is (even though that setting doesn't seem to fix the problem).
Thank you.............
