I am having problems when trying to play tv or movies. Took me some time figuring out what was happening. What is happening is that if I click anybplace but right in the middle of the round part my system freezes. For instance if I have one that looks like “name of show” with a round button on the front and I click on the name instead of the round button my system freezes. I used to be able to click on the button or the name and it was fine. That is no longer the case.
I am running with ubuntu Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
I think we need a bit more context.
What application?
What round part?
The title suggests you might be seeking a different application, but the paragraph suggests you might be trying to diagnose/fix a freeze. Which is it?
If I click my mouse in the screen when playing, for example, a fullscreen youtube video, that video freezes and another click is needed to restart the video.
Is this what you’re seeing as it’s not clear to me what you mean but I wonder if that is the same as I see?
Are these TV shows live broadcasts from a tuner or streamed videis?
This while thing is wrong (I was wrong). After fighting windmills it dawned on me what was going on. My keyboard batteries needed replacing. Once that was done I think everybody but the turning off the system got fixed. If anybody wasted time on this one I apologize. I should have known better.
Sorry, I was not forthcoming with what I should have included. I am using Kody. I am starting to experience a bunch of strange things. For instance, if I am looking at a list of stuff and click on something, nothing happens, if I want to delete I can usually do a left click and get a list - that no longer happens. I cannot double click to open something I have to go to the top and press ‘open’ Its all very strange.
Now, as far as my initial problem. Its still there. I just left this to check on kodi when I did this firefox shut down and I had to re-start it and then find this. Anyway, when I try and play something on kodi I press either movies or tv. When tv starts its a list of titles and each title starts with a square which I must press to get it to run. If I press anything else my system freezes.
Thoughts?
I suspect I either have something set wrong or my system may be failing. Its all very strange.
Thoughts?
Edited the title to match the only clearly-described problem so far.
The previous title was likely to attract a lot of irrelevant comments about choosing TV tuners.
Is this changed behavior system-wide? Or just for the one application?
How exactly did you install Kodi? Which exact version are your running from that method?
Do your logs contain record of any errors?
Are there recent .crash files in your /var/crash with timestamps that match recent freezes or crashes?
If you have “set something wrong”, and you are asking us to hunt for it, that may take many days. Few volunteers may be willing to do that for you. We suggest instead returning your Kodi to the default settings that apparently used to work.
If your “system may be failing,” then your logs are the most likely place for supporting evidence to appear.
I now have about a 98% chance of everything working fine. Occasionally I will still get a system freeze but when I reboot it works just fine. I still cannot figure our why my system freezes but freezes it does. For, as far as I can tell absolutely nothing at all. I also note that its unlikely to get any answers here but thought I would finish this with this.
Sorry to bother anybody…
