Shade or iconify Kodi 17.4 during video reproduction causes video freezes - pemartins - 2017-08-25
If I shade or iconify (minimize) Kodi 17.4 during video reproduction, after restoring the normal window the video reproduction freezes for some seconds. The sound keeps on rolling just fine but the video freezes, and the longer I keep it shaded or iconified the longer it will take for the video to be updated and running normally.
This issue has been mentioned before, it's been around since the first Kodi 17.x release. Some bugs have been correct but this one slipped away.
Maybe some kind of video refresh should happen in these situations, perhaps that would solve it.

No Debug Log no issue

It's something that as been mentioned before, even I brought it up before... but no problem, I'm here to help, here's a debug log with it happening.
First I started a video and shaded Kodi's window, let it shaded for 20 seconds; when I restored the window the video froze for about 10 seconds.
Then I iconified (minimized) Kodi's window to the title bar for 20 seconds; again when I restored the normal window the video was frozen for about 10 seconds.

You have a link to your trac record? I might have missed that one.

I'm sorry but I do not know what a trac record is, is it something related to the debug log I posted on pastebin?

Nope, you said that you reported your issue before and therefore I asked where I can find it on trac.kodi.tv

I literally have no idea what that is and what it is for and how and when and why it should be used.
Not quite sure why you're asking but if it is useful I checked my latest posts and found it mentioned by me in a couple of different posts, in one of them curiously you were the person replying to it:

that one contains the link to the other.

http://trac.kodi.tv is a bugtracker where one can file and document bugs. They won't be forgotten as easily as forum posts.

Bumping this one up, it still hasn't been fixed.
