Hi everyone,

This has been a problem for many years now and i've yet to find a solution to it. My media is all accessed via https in kodi (over wan), and I also use the youtube and twit plugins constantly. If for any reason there is packet loss or the connection is interrupted intermittently the entire kodi interface will become completely unresponsive for however long the seemingly hard coded timeout is (which seems like quite a while, like 30 seconds?).

I've tried things like:

Code:

<playlisttimeout>2</playlisttimeout>

and

Code:

<curlclienttimeout>2</curlclienttimeout>

and neither seems to make any difference. Is there some parameter i'm missing, or is this hard coded in somewhere? I'd provide debug logs but it's happened for many years across every platform (windows,linux,android,mac).

Install emby on your source box. That integrates really well with kodi and can transcode if you like.

So there's two issues, one is why Kodi locks up, rather than buffers, and two is why the advancedsettings.xml tags aren't working? Since, even if the tags worked, Kodi should still not be locking up just because the connection stopped. Hmm.

Exactly, very confusing. An additional note, when the interface becomes visually unresponsive I can still hear the menu sounds playing as if I was navigating them, but the gui/video is totally frozen. Sometimes waiting long enough it will eventually exit out of the frozen video and dump me back to the gui, other times it'll never respond and I have to force kill the application.

Same problem here, i had it with video but removed the problem (probable) by disabling the QoS (Quality of Service) on my Asus RT-AC68U router but the problem still exists with audio, even on my laptops, tablet and minix.

Heeeeelp

Installed the Merlin update but same problem still exists
