Hey guys, after some online searching I could not find anything about my problem. I`m using kodi on my sony android TV. When I`m watching movies and use skip steps, after some time I loose sound and the movie freeze. I have to restart my tv to watch movies on kodi again. I`m using latest version of stable kodi. I don`t remember to have this problem on earlier versions.

Some updates regarding the problem: after using skip on kodi, movie freeze and the sound is lost and if i`m trying to play the movie again, is freezing again. I open a movie with with default android movie viewer, the movie is working just fine but I still don`t have any sound.

Huh? Seems that I missed that reply. What does have to do piracy with my problem? Beside some skins, one movie trailer addon (which is not working so well), a backup addon and some utility that clean the useless junk (which I installed after my freeze problem appeared and hoped to cure it but it didn`t) what could be the problem?

Go to audio settings, set speakers to 2.0 and disable all passthrough settings, try again. Opening the sound device fails, which is most of the time an indicator of a firmware bug.
In your cause audio _and_ video goes wrong. Therefore if setting to 2.0 speakers does not help, also Disable Mediacodec and Mediacodec surface in the settings, does it now "work" (it will stutter, yes, but we don't rely on the FW of your TV anymore for decoding).
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
