    Hi guys,

    I've got an Asus Chromebox CN60 and have been trying the various LE 10 beta builds (v9.95.1 through v9.95.4) with a clean install. The one thing I've noticed is when I switch tracks between files in a video playlist, the OSD is missing that shows the file title. In previous versions of LE, the OSD would show for about 2 seconds before automatically disappearing. I can't seem to find a setting for this, does anyone know if this is a bug?

    Thanks this worked for me! Was getting this error on fresh installs of LE 9.95.1, 9.95.2 and 9.95.4, but your solution solved my problem.

    Just upgraded to LibreELEC 9.2 on an Asus Chromebox and now find that video playlists are broken. What I do is queue a folder, then go to the video playlist. I see multiple videos there, but when I press select or play on the remote, it clears the entire playlist instead. I’ve reverted back to 8.2.5 until I can figure this out. Should I perform a soft reset?

    I had the same exact problem with 2 remote keys on my Harmony 650 remote. Both the "Guide" and the "Menu" buttons changed functions when upgrading to LE 9.0 (Kodi 18). The "Guide" button used to activate the context menu and the "Menu" button used to activate the Kodi "home" function. I had to reprogram the remote using the Logitech Harmony software to change the "Guide" key back to "DVD Menu", which is the context menu on Kodi. But now both the Guide and Menu keys do the same thing (Kodi context menu). I lost the "home" function and don't see that function mentioned in the Logitech Harmony software.

    I'm also running an old 3rd gen Intel NUC

    With Kodi 17.6 the Menu button was the "Home" button for Kodi. The Guide button was Kodi's "Context Menu"

    With Kodi 18.0 the Menu button is Kodi's "Context Menu". The Guide button is "PVR Device".

    I used Logitech Harmony software to program the remote's Guide button back to Kodi's context menu (Logitech calls it DVDMenu)

    I’m also having this same problem with both my “Menu” and “Guide” buttons on my Harmony 655 after upgrading to Kodi 18. I used the Keymap Editor app to reprogram my “Guide” button to Kodi’s “Context Menu”, but can’t find where the Kodi “Home” button is. Any ideas?

    Hi guys,

    I have an Asus Chromebox running LE v7.90.010 ALPHA, and I'm noticing HDMI handshake issues when enabling the setting for "Adjust display refresh rate to match video". I have the Kodi interface set for 60 fps, and my TV refresh rate can adjust to play 24 fps content without issues. However, when I press Stop and the interface tries to reset back to 60 fps, that's when I notice HDMI handshake issues. My screen goes black, then blue, then some snow, then the Kodi interface flashes briefly. The only fix for this is to set my unit to standby and then wake up from standby, or I unplug the HDMI cable and plug it back in.

    If I set the Kodi interface to 30 fps, then I can play 24 fps content without issue, and also return to the Kodi interface without issue. However if I try to play a 29.97 fps video file, I get just a black screen until I press stop!

    My final resolution is to disable "Adjust display refresh rate to match video", and leave the Kodi interface at 60 fps. It's just that I did not have this issue with earlier LE v7.90 ALPHA builds, and I never had problems with this setting on OE running Kodi 16. My TV is a 2014 Samsung 1080p HDTV, and I have an Onkyo receiver.

    I noticed another user with the exact same problem posted in the Kodi forum, but they referred him/her to the LE forum.
    Glitches with "Adjust display refresh rate to match video"

    Is this a known issue? What additional info do you guys need to help troublesheet this? Thanks!

    I installed the chromium build available from the openelec repo and this one still had slow scrolling and lagging, where it used to run fine on my OE build. So I'm guessing it's an LE issue or krypton alpha bug? All my movies and videos play fine btw

    The chromium hardware accelleration settings are very much a hack. It may work it may not, there isn't much I can do about it.

    check the special page 'chrome://gpu' and see what the render methods say.

    also make sure that chromium isn't running in the background because when you change the settings for chromium from kodi they won't change.
    in chromium settings ('chrome://settings') scroll to the bottom and disable running in the background.

    OK I did as you suggested and disabled running in the background. I also disabled hardware acceleration in both chrome://settings and the add-in settings. Page scrolling is still very choppy compared to chromium on my previous Openelec build. Here's the output of my chrome://gpu screen:Graphics Feature Status

    Just installed Chromium 8.0.102 on a LE 7.90 alpha build for Chromebox. Flash is running great, but I noticed page scrolling a full screen video is very choppy. I have tried turning hardware acceleration on and off (choosing Intel for on as the Chromebox is a celeron CPU), but no difference between the two. Is this a LE 7.90 alpha bug? Or a Kodi setting I need to fix? Thanks!
