Full Version: Kodi menu appears above the image

For some time, while a video is playing, the Kodi menu appears above the image. I have to connect a keyboard to press the TAB key and it disappears. But after a while it happens again. Someone has been the same? thanks!!
More info is needed, especially kodi distribution and version. A debug log would include this information.
If you are on Kodi 19 it could be this issue: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/19153

Hello, 

the kodi version 16.1 (libreelec version 7.0.2 (kernel 4.4.13)).

Thanks for advance

How about a screenshot of that Kodi menu happening?

That is an almost prehistoric version... If you can, please provide Kodi's debug log (wiki) for more internal details.

Well... It's an older version of LibrELEC alright.

And normally that menu bar will not appear during video play.
So do you have any other Kodi add-ons installed on that Android box? As said, a kodi log file would be helpful.

Also, apparently your TV/monitor still has overscan enabled. Or it's a global setting in Android. That's why the corners are not entirely visible.
Hello, i only have librelec.

This is a crash log. Might not be the best to show what is going on.

I'm not a team member, so any advice from me is unofficial! However, Kodi has come a long way since the version you are using. I'd definitely update to the latest LibreElec and see if the problem is sorted for you.
Nothing in the log file stands out for me at the moment. Perhaps it's a glitch with the old(er) Kodi version running on the old(er) Android OS along with the rotate setting. Upgrading might not be an option with certain Android hardware.

You could opt for a 'simple' Raspberry Pi 3B+ or 4B setup, and run the latest Kodi version on that. A few extra tips from the customers (are you allowed to be open during Covid?) should easily pay for that.
