Revision of Setup Kodi media player from Mon, 03/26/2018 - 20:49
The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.
Kodi media player works more or less out of the box, but you might experience a black screen during video playback. This is due to lack of support for VAAPI hardware decoding of video files and can be solved by disabling VAAPI hardware acceleration:
Settings -> Videos -> disable VAAPI hardware acceleration
You can leave the VDPAU hardware acceleration enabled.
If you have videos stored in Video_TS folder (like a DVD), it is recommended to ask Kodi to treat the folder as one 'file'. In this way you won't have to choose the specific file to play: Kodi will show only one entry, and will choose the right file for you:
Settings -> Videos -> File lists -> Combine split video items
