Hey guys,

Looking for advice on getting my kodi UI to run more smoothly. Here is a rundown of my hardware:

ASRock FM2A88X-ITX+
AMD A6-6400K Richland
Sandisk Ultra II 120GB  system disk
2x 8gb Seagate HDD  media storage
4gb DDR3 1333 MHz RAM (don’t remember what kind, just had it lying around)
Windows 10
Kodi Krypton RC 2

So here’s the thing, videos all play smoothly, HD MKV and blu-ray ISO’s no problem. It’s just that the UI is a bit jerky, animations moving in and out of menus isn’t as smooth as I would like, scrolling through movie library isn’t super smooth. Is there one piece in my system that could use a relatively inexpensive upgrade to smooth out the UI? It’s always been like this for the past few years I’ve been using my HTPC, just getting around to trying to address it.

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Without a debug log, it's only supposition. But the usual culprit has been the graphic engine and even more so now with higher resolutions, deeper bit planes and file de-compression. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu...-6400K+APU

At this point a fork in the road for either new hardware, or trying out LibElec both are viable solutions.
