Your Debug Log is incomplete. You don't play a movie. Your screen at 30.03hz looks odd. As you are running nvidia gpu, also post dmesg | pastebinit

That being said, the Q35 GPU you are using is not supported by us.

For more information and bug fixing posting the Debug Log is mandatory also in combination with the output of vainfo.

Actually, it wasn't the vc-1 hardware acceleration. My apologies for the misinformation. It was rather disabling "Prefer VAAPI render method" that makes the black screen disappear and working fine.
Either way here's the log file. Maybe you can shed some insight. Thanks.
Output of vainfo:
error: can't connect to X server!
libva info: VA-API version 0.38.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 1
libva error: va_getDriverName() failed with operation failed,driver_name=i965
vaInitialize failed with error code 1 (operation failed),exit

I won't be upgrading the rest of my PC's or devices. Turns out my Android box is no longer supported either and it's only a year old. Sad that they have abandoned hardware and features that worked so well in the past.
I'd like to close this thread but I have no idea how. My thanks to fritsch for pointing out my hardware was not supported.

Don't Update Kodi ( if you're not an expert in both KODI and Linux )
or... don't ask questions, which I rarely do, just read and learn what you can from others.
and... it is a Free Program, so= when it fails = tough luck.
But! Thanks to the terminal commands to Uninstall the Update. I shall be doing it tomorrow!
Thanks iznobe!

New to the forum here. Looking for some help. I have 5 completely different PCs. All running Linux Mint 17.3 with Kodi 16.1, beautifully I might add. I have updated the 3 newest PCs with Kodi 17. All 3 PCs have the same issue. None will play videos properly. Of any kind. The audio starts out fine but the video struggles to catch up. The audio soon becomes distorted and Kodi freezes. It doesn't crash, just freezes. I have to force it to shut down. I was able to find help in reverting back to kodi 16.1, which I tried on 2 of the 3 updated PCs and had no issues. Videos play fine, everything else seems fine. One of the PCs is used completely for testing so I formatted it completely, installed Mint 17.3, ran updates, installed Kodi 17, and same video issue occurs. Is any one else having issues playing anything??
Appreciate any help or suggestions
