Look at first line of kodi.log i assumed that special://skin path it’s not mapped and the errors it’s be related as somethigs similar “file not found”.

After some search by google i have found some information about this errors… the second line speak clearly :slight_smile:
Apparently it’s a hardware limitation of Raspberry boards… the hardware decoder don’t support the “progressive” jpg.

My question it’s ? How i can resolve or try to fix this issue ? For example i can convert manually in some mode this jpg to make them become compatible ?
For example from a FTP i can download all jpg… manually edit on my pc and reupload the files to see if all errors disappears from log…

You have some suggestion ?

The hardware conversion of progressive scan images not being supported just makes it fall back to using the CPU instead of the GPU. You could try just converting all images it is referencing but they will just be replaced next time the skin updates and the only effect of this is basically a fraction of a second and some annoying log entries.

You could also contact the skin developer as the progressive format serves no purpose that i’m aware of. That is something that has served little use once we stopped using dial up modems.

Here the possibility solution.

By FTP i have download on desktop the extra folder and i have converted all jpg removing the progressive.

Now i have see there’s so other jpg on addons folder structure… i need to check my log if i need to convert another :slight_smile:

For moment i have also disable the auto-update of this skin (even if it’s more than 10 months that nothing new comes out) to prevent future overwrite of all jpg files :slight_smile:

Problably the developes as develop this skin according to use on better hardware like a pc or android device…

@darwindesign Anyway thanks for confirming that converting the files could be a valid solution :slight_smile:
