So this problem has been going on for a while now. I'm currently running the latest Jarvis beta, but this issue has been going on since upgrading to Isengard, I've been having some issue with the on-screen display while watching videos (in both Confluence and Aeon Nox, so I don't think it's skin-related). For instance:
- Start a streaming video (such as YouTube), the "working..." box pops up in the corner like usual as it loads the video, but then it stops moving and just stays there while the video plays. Sometimes it's 30 seconds, sometimes it simply doesn't go away. It varies. Remote control commands don't work while it's there. However, I can still pause/stop if I use the remote app on my Android tablet.
- Watching a local video (such as a TV episode or movie) and trying to bring up one of the OSD menus, like time remaining or getting to the audio options, and it doesn't respond to the input sometimes. It just doesn't come up, or maybe it comes up half a minute later. Or if I skip ahead in the video, the small OSD with the time doesn't go away after skipping.
Has anybody else had similar issues? Is there a simple solution I'm missing? If I simply restart Kodi, everything works perfectly again, at least for a while. If it's running for a few hours, the symptoms start up again. I really don't want to do a clean installation of Kodi if I don't have to, since I've got everything set up exactly how I like it.
EDIT: Here's a debug log: http://xbmclogs.com/rev/poh4nqh9x
I encountered the problem in this instance by watching a video with the YouTube plugin, but the symptoms are identical regardless of the source, although it is more of an issue with streaming sources than local ones.
