Few weeks back i upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS while still running xbmc 13.2. I went ahead and also upgraded xbmc 13.2 to Kodi 14. After that, i started having major issues with Kodi, it would play for 15-20mins and then would just freeze the whole application.
I had to use kill -9 PID* to get out of Kodi all the time and restart. Kodi would play for a little while then freeze again.
I troubleshooted for close to 3 weeks until today.
PID* - Process ID Number
Fix;
I went ahead and reloaded Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, reloaded Kodi 14.1 and voila its working beautiful, no more freezes or hangs. I thought i would share the fix with everyone in case you are facing the same issues. Uninstalling and re-installing KODI does not help either.
1. Reload a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
2. Reload Kodi 14.1
3. Load any of your required softwares
4. You should be good to go.
Hope this helps others.
