Tested on:
  • Fire Stick 2nd Gen
    Fire TV 4k

Kodi Versions:
  • Kodi 18: kodi-20170916-master-arm64-v8a.apk (and older)
  • Kodi 18: kodi-20170916-master-armeabi-v7a.apk (and older)

Bug-Description:
  • On FireTV no video of the channel is shown, only the audio plays for about 2 seconds, then everything goes black and Kodi completly hangs up!
  • Please look in Debug log: Debug log

Without MediaCodec (Surface) it works! With the normal MediaCodec indeed there appears the video, but unfortunately it jerks very strongly. If all MediaCodecs are off, all pvr.zattoo streams run very smoothly (1080p & 720p), but I can not use this setting on my Fire Stick 2, because H.265 videos otherwise not run properly.

Every other H.264 and H.265 movies and tv shows perfectly play on both devices with MediaCodec (Surface). The problem concerns only Zattoo PVR streams (DASH + HLS).

Took a random channel and seems to work on Shield.
Do you a (very) specific example of a channel that doesn't work?

Yes, Shield is working and Samsung Galaxy Tab S2+S3 (Android 7), too!

It seams to be an Android 5.x problem or at least a Fire TV only problem! None of my Fire TVs is working with Zattoo PVR (Fire TV Box 4k and Stick 1+2) since Kodi 18 with the included Zattoo PVR. Before that version, Zattoo PVR works on Kodi 17 with "dirty" APK builds with Zattoo PVR (HLS only version) from vel2000 and vdrtuxnet.

Something must recently be chanced in Kodi's MediaCodec handling that causes this problem on Fire TVs.

Please try http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/andro...bi-v7a.apk (or the aarch64 version)

Wow, your test-build (aarch64) now perfectly works with pvr.zattoo on Fire TV 4k (Android 5.1.1) and also on Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 (Android 7.0). Thank you very much for fixing this heavy bug!

Could you also integrate the fix in regular KODI nightly builds?

NP :-)

One thing: What is that "PR" build for? Because this one no longer works on Fire TV !
  • WORKS -> kodi-20170927-826036e-fixndsL-arm64-v8a.apk
  • DOESN'T WORK -> kodi-20170928-fde9414-fixndsL_PR-arm64-v8a.apk

The PR one doesn't include the fix for this.
I'll open a new one for it, but waiting for a report that it could fix another bug (HDR)

@Koying could you please look at latest nightly because DASH again does not work on the Fire TV with that version. HLS still works. With DASH only the audio plays and after 2-3 secs Kodi hangs up.

Seams to be the following error:
