Hi,
New user here...
I used the upgrade to go from OpenElec to the latest version of 7.0.2.
I used the intel generic build (since I am using a HP SFF 8200 Elite PC and its on board graphics to run Kodi from a 4GB compact flash)
The PC is hooked up to an LG telly via HDMI.
It took me a few days to notice occasional black horizontal lines appearing on the screen; these are not present if I watch normal television. The lines are a few pixels "wide" and generally appear one at a time, fairly randomly but certainly within a 10s period of each other.
Occasionally, maybe once every 5-10 mins, when watching video or listening to audio (e.g. Internet radio), the screen will blank for approx 1-2s and then resume.
I checked all connections etc and everything is fine.
Since I did not notice it at first, I put it down to installing a heavier duty skin but it still occurs even if I revert to Confluence. In fact, it happens on any skin.
This morning, I then tried to re-install LibreElec from scratch to avoid it being an 'upgrade' problem but the problem remains. I also noticed it during the 'LibreElec' splash graphic on start up after this last attempt so I presume it's a graphic driver problem(?)
Aftewards, I reverted to OpenElec but left it on the 'curses' style installation screen for several minutes just to check that there were no black lines appearing...there weren't.
I then installed OpenElec fully and left it on the normal main menu for several minutes and the problem is not present anymore.
Is this a known issue? If I was running some esoteric hardware, I could maybe understand it but I think I'm running something about as vanilla as it can get. I know it's not a hardware problem (e.g. something getting hot and going wrong) as it was happening this morning with Libre but not immediately afterwards with OpenElec.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
