Hello, dear developers and Kodi users.
I've been using Kodi extensively since this summer, and I made a conclusion.
Kodi just can't keep up with unstable http streams or some connection problems.
How does it demonstrate?
In a simplest way: Kodi hangs up forever.
I would like to ask a question: why?
Why can't Kodi watch for a dead thread (as it owns it) and kill it?
I used 15.1 and 15.2 version, on Android, Windows and rPi2. All have this problem: Kodi always hangs up. Dozens times per single day.
The only way to get it working again is a cold restart (for rPi2) or killing the Kodi process in Windows. That's not how it should be with the media center.
I do not use plugins. I use the standard Kodi distro. I take the http link from the web and open it with Kodi. I have had the Kodi hung up about a thousand times. There is no indication of the hang-up reason in the log.
The "Working" label either is looping forever or simply hangs up as well and no animation is seen, only the dead working circle (Confluence skin).
Please tell me, maybe Kodi should not be used for http streams and the code is not optimized enough?
