Video add-ons freeze

  • Hi all,

    I am fairly new to Kodi, but I am amazed by the breadth of add-ons and various functions. I am running Kodi 16.1 on a Raspberry Pi 3 B by the way. Kodi is connection via WLAN to my router.

    Unfortunately, when watching videos with the YouTube add-on or Tagesschau (a German news add-on) I noticed that videos freeze after a few seconds and the whole system seems to hang. Even the kore remote control on my Android Phone cannot connect to Kodi anymore.

    I activated the Debug Logs and searched for ERROR entries:

    20:13:35 193.505356 T:1473233824 DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio::HandleSyncError - average error -2159.076026 below threshold of 50000.000000
    20:13:35 193.505463 T:1473233824 DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio::HandleSyncError rr:0.99995 error:-2.159ms

    These repeat a few times and then later on comes this entry:

    20:14:28 246.130798 T:1536160672 ERROR: ffmpeg[5B8FF3A0]: [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2] stream 1, offset 0x131ed75: partial file


    and then
    20:15:46 324.685669 T:1527772064 ERROR: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: Timeout was reached(28)
    20:15:46 324.685791 T:1527772064 ERROR: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Reconnect failed!

    and finally
    20:15:47 325.009857 T:1963003904 ERROR: Control 50 in window 10025 has been asked to focus, but it can't

    Does anyone have a clue what's going on here? I can also send the youtube log of course.

    I would appreciate any feedback. Please note that I searched the forum for any similar issue, but could not find it. If this problem has already been discussed, then I am very sorry and I would appreciate if you could direct me in the right direction.

    Thanks
    Kai
