Android Video Suddenly Freezes and No Audio
#1
I am running the latest version of kodi on the nvidia shield tv which is also latest update.

Few days ago I noticed the video wasn't playing and no sound as well, but the timer on the status bar was still ticking.
( the ticker can continue well past the video length, if video is 2 minutes the tickers can continue counting up for hours until kodi is closed)

Nothing I do can make the videos play normaly again. Opening a new video only plays the first few seconds (without audio) then the video stops again

Force stop app, restart app,clear cache... nothing will work. So far only a complete device restart can make playback come back. But the issue returns after between 24 and 48 hours
I even unistalled kodi and fresh installed and build libray from scratch. Problem reappeared after 24-48 hours.

After video freeze I can still navigate the app no problem, only the playback has an issue
I tried installing smpc and vlc player to see if it was a NAS problem but I can access and play the same videos no issue whilst kodi is having the playback freeze.
All other apps work with no video/audio issue this only happens in kodi

I even tried playing a video file stored on the device internal storage...same result


The only recent change I have made is :
change from tvdb to tmdb for TV shows

here is the log file...it seems it was too large for pastebin
so i only inclued the lines with an hour of the freeze

Did anyone find any solution to this? I have exactly the same issue in 19.3 - only a restart of Kodi fixes it, and that works only most of the time. It’s definitely related to audio passthrough. It’s been the same for me for a while, and has persisted across every version of Matrix as well as from Win 10 to Win 11…
