Hi fritsch, took a while to find time again ... I try to sum up what I found out:
Sorry, but I want to run Kodi from desktop and could not achieve to start it directly ....
1
If ubuntu/unity desktop has the same resolution as the video (I start afterwards in Kodi) video plays immediately = fine ;-).
If desktop e.g. is 1080p50 and video is 1080p24, Kodi switches the resolution (to the one from the video as I told it with my settings) and then sits for 15s before it starts. During this time the display already shows the progress bar, as it would start every second, but then takes its 10-15s time
Please search in log for "terminating (autodelete)" then you find the delay 1-3 lines above.
2 there are still errors like in line 989:
"ERROR: CWinSystemX11::XErrorHandler: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter), type:0, serial:42, error_code:3, request_code:4 minor_code:0"
