Hi all,
I have an incomprehensible problem I think need the help of the community to solve...
I have installed Kodi 17 on my SONY TV and it has been working like a charm for some time reading flawlessly everything I was throwing at it.
Kodi updated itself automatically on a regular basis and I am now on the version 17.3.
I have just noticed a problem with MKV file reading over a certain size (above 3Gb approx). I would like to highlight that as I use it mostly to watch TV episodes with a size around 2GB, this issue might have been around for some time without me noticing it.
- When I press Play, the blue circle star and I can see slow buffering progress.
- When it reaches 100%, the movie start playing (seconds are moving on the timeline) but the screen remain black.
- If I fast forward, I get the first frame of where I land in the movie like a still picture and that is it (seconds keep moving on the timeline).
Has anybody experienced the same symptoms and found a solution?
I am thinking of buffering or video hardware acceleration problem but as I have never touch these settings before I am unsure of what to do...
It is worth mentioning that on my other SONY TV (KDL-43W807C) connected to the same network and running the same KODI version, I do not experience this problem at all...
Many thanks in advance for your responses
