I can confirm the black screen on Minix X8H, but the funny thing on my box is that I can start a HD-movie and have an excellent picture, but after stopping and restarting any movie - no matter HD or SD I have no picture. Under Gotham this was not the case. This occurs only with hardware decoding with "amcodec". Other hardware decoders do not work on the Minix X8H.
On all my other Kodi installations I do not have this problem (Openelec on USB, Windows 7, Raspberry). All the same Kodi release. I presume something is wrong with the "hardwaredecoding". It seems that the software needs some sort of reset after playing a movie.
Is anyone working on a solution? Unfortunately, after days of testing and reinstalling varios versions and trying all kinds of settings, I am at the end of my knowledge. Mayby I have to sell my Minix as it does not work with Kodi.
Cheers

I got fed-up and bought the AFTV. Installed Kodi 14, disabled Mediacodec and it works on the movies very well. Will sell my Minix X8H because of this incompatability. Unless........

The issues described in this thread have already been fixed. If you guys are still having issues them they are probably being caused by different bugs. Please try a
nightly build (wiki) to confirm this, and then start new threads for these issues.

Hi Ned.
Installed the latest 2015-01-09 version today and video HD is stuttering massive. So I installed it again this time clean install but same issue. No sound and stuttering video.

That fixed it for me at least. I have been having this issue with the pvr addon (tvheadend). If I zapped 3-5 channels the video output would turn black but the sound playing ok. With this build I have been able to zap between 20+ channels without any issue.
Thanks!

Is there a more permanent fix for this? I want to use kodi but it's BSOD every time I start up something MPEG2 related and playing with the video acceleration every time isn't great.
I've tested the latest isengard rc2 and it's still an issue there or it's re-broke. The test build link is also not working.

It's been fixed since 15alpha2.
Your issue cannot be the same, this was about a black screen, not BSOD (whatever you mean by bsod; it doesn't exist on anything else than windows).
