Hi all,

Just upgraded from 13.2 to 15.1 on a xbmcbuntu 14.04 system, and now kodi crashes and restarts whenever I try to play music files. All video and music files are stored on a NAS accessed as an NFS file system. Video plays no problem, but music crashes kodi (not the entire linux, kodi restarts immediately without problem).

The relevant bit of the .kodi/temp/kodi.old.log file before the crash:

The file after restart does contain these lines:

Quote:20:04:50 T:139926218479552 ERROR: PulseAudio: Failed to connect context
20:04:50 T:139926218479552 NOTICE: PulseAudio might not be running. Context was not created.

Yet video files have no problems with audio, so I don't know if it's relevant.
Any ideas?

Don't cut logfiles, please ... The error you quote has nothing to do with this issue.

Try this: System -> Settings -> Music: Visualization: None

Ok, That works. Is there a known problem with visualization?

Change Visualization from Waveform to OpenGL spectrum also works for me. Thank you very much!
