black screen on addon launch #145

Open drmowinckels opened 6 years ago

drmowinckels commented 6 years ago

I just installed plex for Kodi on my 2012 macmini media server. Link to plex account is successful, but when i launch the addon, the screen goes black (cursor still visible) and nothing happens. I need to force quit Kodi to get control over my system again.

What version of Kodi is installed?

RutgerRauws commented 6 years ago

Hi, I'm running into the same problem on my Raspberry Pi 3, but I did not even link to my Plex account! This is using Kodi 17.6 and the latest Plex-for-Kodi release.

Looking at the logs I do not see any interesting, except for some images not loading. It seems like the GPU does not support decoding the JPEGs. I would expect the decoding to fallback to the CPU if GPU decoding is not supported, but the absence of loaded JPEGs could explain the black screen.

I will try to re-encode the JPEGs tomorrow and see if that changes anything. If anyone has any other suggestions I would love to hear them!

RutgerRauws commented 6 years ago

I'm back with answers! Not sure if you were encountering the same errors in the logs, but your system's behaviour was identical to mine.

I re-encoded the two jpegs COMX was complaining in baseline encoding instead of progressive first. If anyone's interested: ~/.kodi/addons/script.plex/resources/skins/Main/media/script.plex/sign_in/pre-signin.jpg pre-signin

~/.kodi/addons/script.plex/resources/skins/Main/media/script.plex/sign_in/back.jpg back

After doing so, my original errors disappeared. I then logged the following:

The following error stood out to me:

I found out that I was setting gpu_mem of my Raspberry Pi 3 to only a mere 64 megabytes, after increasing this number to 128 megabytes in /boot/config.txt and rebooting I was able to sign in!

I hope this helps you, or someone else, as to why they might got a black screen! (Additionally you might want to check your permissions, my user account was not in the correct groups such as audio and video yet and also caused some issues)
