It worked for me.

That's not a solution!

My apologies.
Is there a solution?

Did you leave the other hardware decoding methods turned on? At least one, that is? If so, then it might be fine. However, if all hardware decoding is turned off completely then you will likely have video stuttering on some videos.

Yes others left on. Just disabled amcodec.

Has anyone been able to resolve this? I just bought a tronsmart mxiii box, and have run into the exact same problem. The problem occurs both with Kodi 14.2 and 15.0.

The problem does go away when I disable amcodec, but unfortunately doing so makes many of my 1080p files unplayble even when I leave the other hardware acceleration methods turned on.

If the problem is with amcodec, is there a way I can upgrade just that to a fixed version?

I had the same issue, and I think i figured it out! I use a M8 android device and my problems begun when i tried to fix a static ip. After tried a lot of solutions put in here, I just change for a automatic ip , cleaned my cache, turned it off and voialla! Everything works again.
I hope it help you as well.

"In kodi (android); system/video/acceleration/decoding method = hardware accelerated. Uncheck amcodec. "

This worked a charm for me. I'm not happy about it as I assume this will lower the playback performance but I can still play 1080p files.

If 1080 files are still playing smoothly then you most likely won't see a difference in quality. It likely means that mediacodec is working on your box, and both amcodec and mediacodec are basically two different paths to the same place, as far as hardware decoding goes (more or less). It's more often a matter if it not working or not, so once it's working then the quality should be the same.

Thanks Ned. That is good to know. I thought this might be the cause of slight audio sync problems but I now know I should look elsewhere.

i had the same problem and found a temporary solution that works really good.its an addon called XBMC Unpause Jumpback.And what it does is everytime you put pause(or search for subtitles) addon returns video few seconds back.Just put in settings:
1.) minimum seconds the pause must take to jump back to 0 (seconds)
2.) set jumpback to be 1 (seconds)
and voila..problem solved Big Grin

EDIT:

Just install SPMC apk from official page and give root permissions..everything will work great

Hi,

Can you please tell where you found that addon ( I looked for it in the addons but I'm missing something)

I'm having video freezing during playback streams in kodi 15.2rc on an amlogic s805
-Pause the video to add subtitles freezes the picture.
-When pause the video and press the play to restart the vid.
-Fast forward the video freezes the picture.

OK found it, installed it but it does not fix my issues.

Further playing around, I find using a pc wireless mouse I have all the issues described in the above but:
When sound cable is unplugged from the av connection on my device, pause video and restart play - works

When sound cable is plugged back in the device - using the pc wireless mouse to pause video and restart play causes video picture freeze with sound in the background. Click with my mouse intermittently on FF, pause, play, rewind and then play eventually gets the video to start again (this is the same as pausing to load subtitles)

Clicking pause with my wireless mouse or loading subtitles and then click the play button and I'm getting a picture freeze with sound in the background. I then take my infrared remote control for my android device and press the FF button and this restarts the video to play normally with the subtitles.

Weird situation.

idk but when your video gets stuck,if fast forwarding (or rewind) for a second makes video play normal..then this addon should fix your problem(not fix but make not noticable)

just put jumpback to 1sec,and put min seconds to 0

Hello,

When I click on XBMC player time line to seek video, I am getting below error.

I have overwrite XBMC player class and override seek function. I am stuck in error mentioned as below. Please help me for the same.

For example:

Code:
class TestPlayer(xbmc.Player):

    def init( self, args, *kwargs ):
        self.is_active = True

    def onPlayBackPaused(self):
        pass

    def onPlayBackResumed(self):
        pass
    
    def onPlayBackSeek(self, time, seekoffset):
        self.pause()

Thanks everyone!

llonca13 - which version of SPMC are you using? Can you expand a bit on 'needs root permissions'? You mean the device needs to be rooted or you need to set some specific permissions for SPMC?

I have tried SPMC 14.2 and 15 from the official site and this Pause problem still exists.

Thanks for your help.
