I mark this as closed due to new Buster-based image, Kodi version and several other changes. Feel free to reopen if issue persists. |
@MichaIng I have just done a clean install of the latest Dietpi version (Buster) on the Odroid XU4 and can confirm that we still have the same issue with Kodi video playback freezing. |
