I note a web call failure (script.tv.show.next.aired and then this starts. (did you try with the default skin?)

and then goes on for many more audio sync errors.

Last shot... HOW-TO:Modify the video cache (wiki)

Code:

<advancedsettings>
  <cache>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <memorysize>139460608</memorysize>
    <readfactor>20</readfactor>
  </cache>

Hi everybody,

Another try, this time as suggested on a portable, full stock install. Experienced stuttering but no crash (network file). Local playback runs fine. 

Here is the log: https://paste.kodi.tv/nepikamuhi.kodi

I will try and post questions on the LimeWire/unRaid forum as well - if these issues are solved eventually, it might be helpful for other users

Thanks again for your help and advice!

Did you try modding the video cache as indicated in post #16 ?

[Yarok]

ooh i'm afraid not, thanks for pointing that out - i missed your post because i kept this page tabbed and did not refresh before posting, sorry about that. I'll test the video cache mod ASAP!!

[Yarok]

Hi again,

I modded the video cache as suggested on my regular install (not the portable one) - playback froze (without stutter) then stopped completely and jumped back to dashboard.

Here is my log: https://paste.kodi.tv/nemaxujemo.kodi

Next i will have to try portable/modded.

Thanks again!

Might be a good idea... and chose some lighter media such as a standard 8 bit h264 encode

"La.La.Land.2016.1080p.10bit.BluRay.8CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.mkv"  with CPU: Intel® Pentium® CPU G860 @ 3.00GHz, 2 cores available might be pushing it.

[Yarok]

Of course you might be right, but before i've had so many troubles, i could play just about anything

Not 10bit.BluRay.8CH.x265.HEVC with Leia, you might look at the UHD threads or Matrix for that, but it's an old 2 core Pentium.

Hi @PatK , i could get an Intel i5-3470 3.20 GHz Quad Core 6Mb SmartCache for cheap, do you think it would help with my issue?

Why gamble, I don't know what cheap is, but when on a frugal budget and Kodi is the big attraction; The Nvidia Shield seems to have all the characteristics of a nice toy box.

30-ish euro ^^ but i'd rather try and fix/improve on what i have instead of buying new stuff.

In any case, i have another machine that could benefit from the i5 i mentioned so i bought it anyway, installed it and gave it a try yesterday - coincidence or not, i managed to have a smooth and uneventful playback of a feature-length movie. Still need to test it further though.

Might end up with the solve being the hardware?
