      @ashleywilliams Your problem looks like a network error. Does it play if you copy one of the videos to the sdcard?

        @Rascas Will try that! Thanks!
        but have to mention, that all videos are on the same NAS and that some of them work and some don't. And it's always the same that work/don't work! And with Krypton everything worked fine.

          @ashleywilliams Try that and if it still doesn't work, try with a clean Kodi settings. For that, close Kodi, move the dir /home/pi/.kodi to somewhere else, start Kodi and try again.

            @Rascas Thanks. But I already tried clean settings. So that will sadly not work.

              @Rascas I've copied the .mkv to a SD card and yes it's working!
              So we have the case that some .mkv aren't playable from NAS anymore and some are still playable. Some days ago on Krypton this was working so it must be something related to Leia.
              Clean install Kodi Leia with brandew clean configs did not help.

                @ashleywilliams Then downgrade to see if it still works on Kodi 17.6. Downgrading Kodi is the same as downgrading any other package, you need to downgrade kodi and kodi-bin packages. Search the net on "how to downgrade package with apt".

                  @Rascas Thanks! I successfully downgraded and it's now working again. So no Leia for me, but that's okay.

                      @Gwyllion Is that the OSD problem ? It was fixed in the firmware some time ago but the Raspberry Pi Foundation didn't updated the kernel/firmware in the repos since 4 November. One solution is to disable overscan_scale in /boot/config.txt, most people don't need it. Try it and see. Another solution is to use rpi-update to update the kernel/firmware, but that might break other things in RetroPie, so be carefull with this!
                      I just sent an email to the Raspberry Pi Foundation engineers, lets see if they update it soon.

                          @Rascas nope, Kodi starts well, playing a movie well...but when you try to pause, stop or going to home menú. Black screen. Noise of moving keys are working but no image. I have to reset.

                          here you have the log:

                            @Gwyllion Please don't post just parts of the log, it is useless, post the full log, like it is explained here:
                            https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file
                            Anyway, I am almost sure that your problem is the one that I said. Did you tried any of the 2 solutions that I told you ?

                              @Gwyllion Had the same bug after a fresh install of RetroPie and Kodi. There is a bug with the overscan.
                              Solution:

                              Backup your data
                              Sudo apt update
                              Sudo apt dist-upgrade
                              Sudo rpi-update
                              Sudo reboot
                              Sudo nano /boot/config.txt
                              Search for „overscan_scale=1“ Delete the complete line or set to „#overscan_scale=1“ (without „“ but with # at the beginning)
                              Should be the last line
                              Sudo reboot

                              After the next update it may be necessary to adjust the config.txt again.

                                  @WarC0zes Compressed files in Kodi 18 are now managed by a separate binary addon called kodi-vfs-libarchive. If you updated Kodi via RetroPie-Setup -> Manage Packages -> Manage optional packages -> Kodi it should by already installed but you need to enable it in Kodi interface. Go to "Addons" - > "My addons" -> "Virtual filesystems" -> "Archive support".
                                  Be aware that addon is still a bit buggy, and not all compressed archives might work good.

                                        @Gwyllion overscan_scale=1 should only be used as a last resort, like if your TV does not have options to set image format, options like "panoramic", "zoom", "scaled" and such. Because overscan_scale does scaling on hardware and in most cases it isn't needed.

                                        Anyway, the kernel/firmware was just updated, so you can enable overscan_scale=1 if you want. Then go to RetroPie Setup -> Configuration / Tools -> Raspbian Tools -> Update Raspbian Packages and reboot at the end.
