screen flickers when loading channel from epg
#1
I'm having and issue with kodi 17 across multiple skins. If I currently have a channel playing, open the epg and change the channel the active playing channel and the epg flicker back and forth between each other until the new channel loads.

If a channel isn't already playing when I choose a channel from the epg then the channel will load as expected with a 'loading' wheel.

Below is a log from when I perform the described actions above (changing channels from the epg while a channel is currently playing and waiting for the new channel to load).

Code:

This is not a Debug Log
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
