[SOLVED] LE 9.0.2: Netflix issue on RPi3 ; black screen when resuming a video, sound only

  • Hi everyone.

    I hope this bug report won't be a duplicate, but I couldn't find any thread like this here.

    The isue has come with LE 9.0.2: when resuming a Netflix video, we can just see a black screen, and have sound. This issue is not present on LE 9.0.1, it works prefectly fine on it.

    It sounds very Rapsberry Pi related, as I couldn't reproduce the issue with LibreELEC for x86 under a Virtual Machine. Kodi 18.2 on Windows 10 doesn't have this issue.

    It's not related to the upgrade process from what I could see: I had the same problem with a very fresh install of LE 9.0.2.

    LE 9.2.0 Alpha1 does have the issue too.

    The Netflix addon is the one from CastagnaIT.

    What else could I say ? I'm not the only one with that issue... (see Black screen when resuming playback · Issue #137 · CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix · GitHub)

    Logs (with ffmpeg, audio, video, and audio/video timing enabled), tested on the same hardware, same video, just a version upgrade between the two logs:

    9.0.1

    dmesg: http://ix.io/1opp

    Kodi.log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4hpcqch9qz/

    9.0.2

    dmesg: http://ix.io/1opt

    Kodi.log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vjzsmpqpdd/

    I feel it can be related to some patches for Kodi on RPi but I may be very wrong...

    Hope you can help! Thanks!

  • Hello,

    I just ran some more tests with the classic 'asciidisco' add-on, and it behaves the same.

    Same with LibreELEC 9.1.002.

    So it doesn't seems to be the addon itself. Maybe it is InputStream? Maybe it is Kodi?

    If anyone has an idea about this issue, would you please share?

    Thanks in advance.
