I am fighting this issue for about 5-6 months now but i dont know which build version exactly caused this behavior for me.
Then suddenly with build #0912 all was fine till build #0920.
At this time the "slow directory issue" was discussed and with build #0921 reverted - so i thought, this is "my potential candidate"...

Tested #0924c but with 14462 reverted, i get the "incompatibility problem" for TV Mosaic.

The add-on needs to be fixed. If it worked for you before, this was pure luck. It's a timing issue. If your tv backend server is not ready when Kodi creates the add-on it must not return "connection lost", but signal Kodi asynchronously when the backend gets ready. The faster Kodi starts up or the slower you server starts up the higher the chances to trigger your problem.

Please stop looking for recent changes that can be reverted to fix your problem. Open a ticket for the pvr add-on, instead.

Thats the clear statement which was missing so far...
For me as "simple user" its not possible to identify if an issue is addon or kodi related (especially not, if new milhouse builds are changing this behavior).
So i am contacting both sides voicing the hope, to get a decisive input.

I just updated to build #0924 from an old build installed last year at the beginning of November 2017.
Using build #0924 KODI is crashing and live TV is stopping every few seconds showing a progress bar (percentage shown in a circle).
To find out when the issue started, I installed many builds. The issue seems to start with kernel 4.14.xx and with this version I see errors reported during the boot process (see also the 2 attached screenshots.
Here is a summary of my findings:
- latest working build on m HTC: #1110, 10-Nov-2017
- Log files using build #0924:

kodi.log -> http://ix.io/1nu6
kodi_crash.log -> http://ix.io/1nu7
dmesg -> http://ix.io/1nu8

Screenshots:

Do you have any idea what the issue is?

Many thanks in advance for your help. Please let me know, if any further infos are needed.

Best regards,

Can't say for sure without a crash log. My guess would be that your /storage/.kodi/userdata/profiles.xml file has gone AWOL, as that seems to kill kodi quite effectively.

So #1110 (4.13.12) works, and presumably also #1111, but #1112 (4.14.0) does not work? Or 4.14.0 is fine, but you have the issue with a later 4.14.y build, in which case can you identify the exact 4.14.y-based build when the issue starts?

From your crash log it seems to be either a mesa, driver or Kodi issue. Does this problem occur with all videos or only PVR-based videos?

I tried for sure more than 30 builds and confirm the following:

- The last working build on my HTC was #0205 for both live TV and a recorded movie.
- As of build #0209 the issues with video quality starts: glitches on live TV and poor quality in recorded movies.
- The issue are on live TV using TVHeadend and also an recorded videos on a local hard disc.  
I hope this helps to surround the issue.

PS: the error messages during the boot process seem not causing the problem with the videos.

That helps, but we can do better. Is #0208 working perfectly? And then in #0209 you get the video quality issues? There's not much in #0209 that would account for image quality issues, apart from perhaps the new 4.14.18 kernel.

When does the crashing start, or is that not in fact an issue? I'm confused about what issue it is you need addressed - video playback issues, or crashing? Or both?

If both, when does the crashing start?

The boot time error message AE_NOT_FOUND, While resolving a named reference package element - LNKC is harmless, and should have been fixed in 4.16.

The Spectre V2 message should also be harmless - are you getting that with 4.18.9 in #0924? I can't tell as the start of your dmesg is missing - can you repost a complete dmesg from #0924?

As of my testbuild from 03 september and later (last used before that was 03th of august) it seems the picture quality has improved, but i keep seeing the kodi menu behind the picture on the bottom part of the screen. Especially when using PVR and showing the cannellist, after selecting the channel i can see a line of about 10 pixels high with channel menu, on the black borders of the image. If i stop receiving the channel and start it again (play button) the bottom part is completely black as expected.

From build #814 as far as I can see

Still there. Is this something which has been reported as a bug somewhere? If not, let me know where to report

Many thanks for your patience with me. I spent today many hours installing many builds including 2 reboots after each installation.

I am facing both issues: as of build #0209 always the video playback issues and additionally crashes starting with build #0523. I installed build #0208 and I noted only the video play issue but no crash.
Also build #0522 was only showing the issue with video playback quality including interruptions and progress bar but no crash.

In nutshell the video playback issue is always there as of build #0209 and the crashing issue came on top as of build #0523.

Yes, I am getting the Spectre V2 message with build #0924 (I recorded a short video from the boot process to see it this time).
I tried to get a complete dmesg from #0924 but it seems that the start is not captured:

So the video quality issues start with #0208? Or do they start with #0209? Although it's not obvious what would cause them in either build.

It's also not immediately obvious why the crashes would start with #0523, but I'll have a think.

Adding log_buf_len=16M to your kernel command line will stop the kernel log messages from being lost.
