RE: Jarvis 16.0 problems black screen - Iceman360 - 2016-03-30
This is the main reason why I haven't upgraded to Jarvis 16 yet.

Yes, I tried Jarvis 16 and constantly got black screen on first start. Went back to 15.2 and all good again.

If Kodi won't run well enough for you to enable debugging in the GUI, you will need to create an advancedsettings.xml (wiki) and use that to get your debug log. See this entry in the wiki for full details http://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Advanced#Turn_on_debugging_using_a_file_.28advancedsettings.xml.29
Okay,
tonight I will eneble Debug Log and i send it to help you solve this problem.
PS: I have an update to the problem. Yesterday I've set my refresh rate to 60 Hz (on the GPU control panel) instead of the 50 Hz default. In the next two boot sequence Kodi reported the same White Screen with "Kodi not responding" error but after that the screen turned to black and then showed up Kodi correctly!!! It could be only two lucky boots but, if it isn't that case, even if it's not flawless, it's a bit better.

ok Luke very good (my first name is Luke too, in italy is Luca
)at the moment I don't have time to try more tests, maybe next weeks will be better.
So I stay with 15.2 and work perfect..
let us know if you find some news (after debug log too..)
good luck!

Hehehe!
Yes I'm sure of it... DirectX transition from 9 to 11 was a big step and some compatibility issues may arise.
I've also tried 17 Nightly Build but it's too unstable to use it right now. Anyway I like the new default skin. Confluence is beautiful but the new look is also better.
RE: Jarvis 16.0 problems black screen - kgian - 2016-03-31
I have a dual screen setup. When only one screen is connected to the graphics card kodi loads ok. With the 2 screens connected I get the problem. Do you all have 2 screens?

RE: Jarvis 16.0 problems black screen - Luke.Siren - 2016-04-02
Good morning everyone,
I've done further tests and the black screen randomly rised again (even with the 60 Hz set).
Here is my Kodi.log obtained as follows:- Enabled Debug Log
- Closed Kodi
- Deleted previous Logs
- Powered off my VivoPC
- Powerd On
- Waited until Kodi started
- White Screen (Kodi not responding), then Black screen
- Alt+Enter and Alt+Enter
- Closed Kodi
- Opened Kodi.log and published on Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/pj9wHkJ1
I hope this helps the developers to seek and destroy this annoying bug!

Well done Luke!

Had this problem for a while. You're not alone.

Sadly I did not find a solution. Jarvis seemed to work if windowed fully sceen but I had a lot of random freezes so have rolled back to 15.2.
It's very weird that it only effects Kodi on the first load. Subsequently things are fine.

It's correct: the problem arise only on the first Kodi run after Windows boot. All the following launch are working fine. This is very weird. I've also tried to wait a lot before to launch it but the first run is often a white then black screen. [PENSIVE FACE]
