I'm new to Kodi, but have recently installed and used it with an Amazon Fire TV Stick with no problems, on the same Home Wi-Fi network as that which I'm trying to connect and view from a Windows 10 Desktop PC.
I've read on the forum about the need for DirectX 11 to run Jarvis. I've just used Kodi to check my system, and mine is shown as DirectX 11.1.
I've just done a clean install of Windows 10 64 bit and the machine is running like a dream.
I downloaded the Windows Kodi installer and everything seemed fine through the installation. I setup and installed a few add-ons, just as I had on my Amazon Fire TV Stick, again all seemed fine.
I then proceeded to search for some video to test that playback was working and here I hit the problem. The search went as normal, found a stream but when playback started all I got was a very blurry screen which changed colours somewhat randomly (quite possibly going dark and light with the brightness of the actual video footage). The counter showed it was running and the audio was fine. I fast forwarded for about 10 minutes in but it was still just a very blurred indistinguishable view.
I attempted several different streams from different add-ons but the result was the same every time. I closed Kodi from the bottom left hand power button/exit and even re-booted the PC, but no change.
I tried connecting by ethernet as well as wi-fi, no difference. I use Virgin Media ISP, but as I can connect via three different Amazon Fire TV sticks over wi-fi I can't see there could be a problem there.
I then uninstalled and re-installed Kodi, this time choosing the 'normal' installation as opposed to the 'full'. I gave permission to Windows Firewall during the installation, which I can't remember having been asked on the first installation (two days ago). All made no difference.
Please help!
