I'm running Ubuntu Mate 15.10, with a personal build of Kodi 17, git cloned from -b master. My pvr.hts is also git cloned from -b master. It builds and runs fine in Kodi 16 when grabbed from -b Jarvis, but in Kodi 17, as soon as it tries connecting to a channel.. black screen, then kodi turns off. I've even gone as far as deleting the entire .kodi directory after uninstalling kodi 16, before installing kodi 17. I've even tuned off deinterlacing and any acceleration. It still crashes. It works on my Ubuntu desktop though.. just not my Pi.

Here's the crashlog... says something about mmal-mpeg2 being unsupported.

I think it might be a settings in the backend. Some channels work, but they aren't full hd channels.

It would also help if I add my codec licenses to my config.txt.

I cannot see a crash in pvr.hts here. Subject seems to be misleading.

Then what would you call it when I'm left with a black screen, because Kodi closes on me when I try to connect a channel? It says errors in that log.. it couldn't find a codec or something. When that happened, I'm left with a black screen, as I'm on Raspberry Pi, and we get a black screen when Kodi exits. To me that's crashing. Turns out I just forgot to enter my codec licenses, and I guess it screwed things up.

I would call it Kodi is crashing. There are many software modules involved when opening a channel. If you write it is crashing in pvr.hts I think you have some real prove for this, but your "crash log" does not even contain pvr.hts errors. ;-)

@greenbag Do you have the mpeg-2 license ? If not, to play mpeg-2 videos you need to enable software decoding. For this, add start_x=1 in your config.txt. Or better, buy the license, it is cheap and you will have better playback.

Yeah, I have them... I just forgot to add them to my config.txt on a new install. Boneheaded move. Tongue

Thanks. Smile
