Nice! Thanks for the first official MQ7 Nexus mod release. Does version 1.0.0.1 contain all changes you added to the Matrix and Leia version lately?

@latts9923 
Hi there,
Updated MQ7 to this new version 10.0.0.1, issue persists; Buffering...100% message does not go away.
I hope you can find what's triggering this message, does it show on your end?
I have uploaded the log at:
https://paste.kodi.tv/edunizoxov.kodi
Than you, your help is greatly appreciated.

[latts9923]

@MB1968
You're welcome! Yes, this Mod contains all the updates...including the small one I posted yesterday.

@Gilogo
I have seen the Buffering message while playing Movies, but that's the only time I see it. Where else do you see the message?

[bacardicola]

The buffering message does not go away.
always visable during playback. Impossible to use this skin now.

i prefer mq7 over mq8 because the dim fanart is not always working 
in mq8.

thx.

[djreedoo]

Yep...So sad this buffering message always on.

[Gilogo]

Hi, @latts9923
The message displays every time a file starts to play and it is always visible during playback movies and TV shows, I don't do any type of streaming so I don't know if that happens with external sources.
This only happens with MQ7 and Kodi V.20.
I don't think it is a hardware issue but I can do any testing you want me to.
I really hope you can take a look at this issue; On a very personal note, MQ7 with your mod is the only skin that I prefer for many reasons to list here.
Again, I cannot thank you enough for all of the work you do for the Kodi community, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Best wishes,
Gilogo.
P. S.
The message is just like the one of the center of the picture you posted with the announcements please look at center of screen by the seat's head rest on pictue.

@latts9923, I have the same issue on my Android device.

[latts9923]

All,

I figured out where the buffering message is coming from. You can remove it by opening VideoFullScreen.xml. At the bottom you will see the buffering control.

Change the code to this...

xml:


<!-- Buffering Dialog -->

<!--control type="label" id="24">

	<description>buffering label</description>

	<label>$LOCALIZE[15107] $INFO[Player.CacheLevel]%</label>

	<left>748</left>

	<top>495</top>

	<width>422</width>

	<height>27</height>

	<aligny>center</aligny>

	<align>center</align>

	<font>Font_list</font>

	<textcolor>80FFFAF0</textcolor>

	<include>Animation_Fade</include>

</control-->

[MB1968]

That's a rather drastic fix hahaha. Do you think the constant buffering text is a Kodi bug or a skin bug?

[latts9923]

@MB1968
I didn't even know that code was there...I've never seen that message appear in the video player. The control doesn't exist in MQ 8. Do your videos seem to have buffering problems with Nexus?

I've a 350Mbit internet connection, and do not experience buffering issues. Video plays fine without interruptions on Leia and on Nexus. But on Nexus the buffering message (98%/99%/100%) is constantly visible.

Thank you!!!
¡I am always very grateful for all of your help, no need for today's OCD meds!
¡Best wishes!

@MB1968
Yeah...I think that buffering alert is a "false positive". I'm not experiencing any buffering problems either, but the alert is persistent.

@Gilogo
LOL...you're welcome!

[kinghtrider]

Dumb question so sorry in advance.  If I install this over the Leia version will it keep all my settings or will I have to start over?
