A few comments, not specifically related to latest and greatest build.

1. Browsing movies, leaves the previously cached background image visible until a new one is fetched for the actively hoverede movie. I'm sure if you have a fast connection and live near imdb.com's servers you'll never see this. But i'm in Africa on 10 mbit. So if you could clear and show a blank background when you change title hover, until you fetched the new one?
2. Will some of the old more underlying issues ever be fixed? Like, will we ever see a hardware pointer? Will we ever move to other rendering form that doesn't suck the life out of a device like the Pi? I'm not assuming anyone will write a full vulkan driver for the Pi's chipset, but i'm still dreaming.
3. After all these package updates, i think a few new default settings are in order. Like adding a default samba user, so it doesn't have to be an "expert" setting just to be able to browse your movie library. Same goes for your gigantic default overscan, it makes every side of the screen unreadable on every screen i ever used Kodi on. How about making it a bit smaller, so it'll fit by default and then leave it to the experts to expand it? Yes, the overscan setting is actually called video "calibration".

Hoping you'll consider some of these fixes/suggestions.

1. You could also avoid using remote artwork, and/or pre-load your cache overnight (see script in my signature, which is also included as standard in these builds)
2. Don't know
3a. Can you provide more detail on why a default Samba user (presumably for SMB Client settings) would be useful? I agree the SMB Client settings shouldn't be hidden away under Advanced/Expert, that's something we could consider changing.
3b. Have you configured the TV correctly to use 1:1 pixel mapping?

After reboot out off safety boot the settings still reset. I have to enable German, with timezone, my skin, my audio settings aswell. 

That's got nothing to do with Safety Mode, as Safety Mode doesn't touch your failing installation other than to temporarily rename /storage/.kodi to /storage/.kodi.FAILED. If the settings have been lost/reset/trashed then Safety Mode is not responsible for that - they were most likely lost before Safety Mode kicked in, because of the crash loop.

What about the insecure repository. It is my own homepage and plug ins from your website as well. What can I do to my Homepage.

The insecure LibreELEC repository issue is being addressed. For your homepage, get a certificate and start serving your content with https. All repositories will need to switch to https.

Hi,

Upgraded from 329 to 422 and experienced severe stuttering audio and video.

Downgraded to 407 and all is ok.

Anyone else having similar issues?

Regards Phil

I don't know if this is related but I noticed yesterday on recent builds massive stuttering when playing interlaced video on both hardware players. Changing interlaced option from auto to one of the half modes fixes the issue. This would probably show up on interlaced TV channels as well.

1. When playing music from the FILE menu, I can not see the FANART. (When playing from the media library, the fanart is visible). In the official firmware this works.

Are you able to identify the first build with this issue?

Can you post an example directory listing (to show filenames etc.)?

I've created a fanart.jpg file in various Artist and Album folders but never see any fanart artwork and I went back as far as #0301 so either this isn't a recent issue, or I'm not able to reproduce.

Can you determine when it stopped working with *these* test builds - has it ever worked with these test LE9/Kodi 18 builds?

I most recently am in this topic and installed builds only later 0407. This problem was in all the test builds of KODI 18.

The first build that has "broken" fanart in Music > Files is #0120 which includes:

1. XBMC:
   • Music Artwork Consistently Availlable To GUI (PR:13352, 1 commit, 8 files changed)
     

Please open a ticket on trac.kodi.tv for the attention of @DaveBlake.

[DaveBlake]

@aleksobs my attention has been gained. Please don't bother with a Trac ticket, I am far more responsive to forum posts than Trac. I'll take a look first thing tomorrow.

I see the player screeshots. Have you added this music to the music library, or are you only using file view? Does fanart and artists thumbs show on the artists node (listing artists)?

If you could upload a copy of your music database - MyMusic70.db - somewhere and PM me a link that would be most helpful.

Ping me in your reply, it also may be clearer to split these posts and move them to the music support forum  rather than clutter this already huge thread.

[Milhouse]

Thanks DaveBlake.

To try and pinpoint the problem, I cloned my installation to a fresh partition and renamed .kodi.
I then set the LE config to manually update from the Milhouse LE9 repo. and updated to #427.
I created 2 test profiles, added some media and tried logging on/switching profiles.
With all profiles using Estuary, this works fine.
I then installed Confluence and the common cache addon.
Profile test1 uses Confluence, Master and test2 use Estuary.

Switching to test1 crashed Kodi.
Crashlog here - http://ix.io/18Vp

Thread 1 (Thread 0x6cefc380 (LWP 1924)):
#0 0x00a6a3dc in CPythonInvoker::execute(std:tring const&, std::vector<std:tring, std::allocator<std:tring> > const&) ()
Hope this helps to identify the problem.
I will keep my main installation on #421 and test newer builds in the test installation.

I should add that this is all on a tweaked NOOBS setup, with several Kodi installations, each with their own 16GB partition on a 128GB SSD.
I will make one change to the test installation, as I noticed in the crashlog that it had become the 'master browser', which I do not want.

Thanks, yes - looks to be Python related. @peak3d any ideas?   

 There is may also infinite lock condition, it locks kodi and no more response(actually freeze) and no playback video on youtube addon.
Console still works. only way back control is restart kodi.

Sorry for my English. Thank you for paying attention to my problem.
1. I added this music to the music library.
2. Yes, fanart and artists thumbs show on the artists node (listing artists). Of course not all, but many.

I just updated from 20180301 to the latest version because netflix and Amazon stopped working. Everything is running fine, except for two things:

- Holding down the up- or down-arrow to scroll through menus is way too fast now (Logitech Harmony @ FLIRC receiver)
- The frame rate of the TV no longer gets adjusted to the video, e.g. my TV stays at 60hz when playing 23.976hz material.
