#1
Hi.

As the subject says I have a problem with 17.3 when playing back any video, either local or streaming.
I am a bit lost since the log file does not say anything either,these are the last lines before it crashes:

After that, kodi completly exits and I breifly see the "x-windows" cross and then it starts up kodi again.

Any sugestions to other logs I can log at?

/var/log/dmesg,syslog and kern.log shows nothing suspicious either Confused

I've tried to completly uninstall and install kodi again with the same result

Disable VDPAU or installed proper drivers, please.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Turned out that the intel VA-API drivers were out of date

This did it:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:wsnipex/mesa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
