[brazen1]

small situation update:

tested on two windows 10 amd player with sql database active and working - kodi version: KodiSetup-20151121-98e0275-master ( nightly from 22.11 i think )

1. still freezes ! ... BUT - realy rare ! before it freezed 98% at the beginning when i stress test it ( or after a short brake direktly ) - now i had it running a cpl of hours and no freeze
- but sometimes out of nowhere it freeze like before ( but muuuuuuuuuuch less )

2. xtreme hang ups or crashes and freezes when i play/stop music ( just noticed when my sister was here for a visit and dont look too deep into this problem... but it happens here 4times in a row - either on title change, or when i want to stop it or when i want to change to visualisation screen ... )

playing a movie or tvshow is no problem - and again - the problem is not realy reproduceable !!! and not listed in logfile ( some other errors before but no entry when the crash/freeze happen )
one time you click and it crashes/freeze - restart kodi and do the exact same steps and it works without any problems...


i am thinking about to wait until jarvis is realy final and check then again... maybe it was the xbmc.gui change, maybe the actual nightly that the freezes are getting MUCH BETTER ... dont know anymore

I agree 100%. The latest nightlies are not freezing or crashing anymore so far for me when in the past it would have.
Fingers crossed.

Also latest nightly has brought back functionality to video add-on links like PBS.

On a side note, I think the animated gifs are requesting more memory than Kodi wants to release or devote.
I think something needs to change in Kodi core to allow more memory so GUI doesn't lag especially when using a bunch of these.
