Kodi 15 most of the time does not buffer correctly when video streams are played while the network connection is temporarily too slow. With previous versions of Kodi, a pop up appeared always on the top right of the screen when the network was too slow informing that Kodi was buffering. The play back of the video was then paused till enough of the video file stream was received to play the video further.
With Kodi 15 this has changed. Only sometimes this still works as before and playing of the video is paused automatically while Kodi is buffering the received video stream. But most of the time when the network is slow, the audio is switched off and the playing of the video is slowed down, as in slow motion. But the video is not paused. When Kodi does this, you can view the slow played video but you cannot hear the sound so this becomes very irritating. Most of the time Kodi does not automatically recover from this and I have to buffer manually by pausing the video for some time.
This behavior is exactly the same on my PC with Windows and on my Raspberry Pi 2 that is running on OpenElec.
Is there a way that I can configure Kodi 15 to always temporarily pause the video and buffer when playing video streams while the network connection is temporarily too slow as previous versions of Kodi used to do?
