Thanks for any ideas folks. I have tried youtube as well as vimeo (as in the log) and a bunch of other addons and they all seem to freeze after 30 seconds to a minute or two, sometimes half the screen goes green, then it throws me back to the list of videos within whatever addon I was in. I’m brand new at this so I hope I did the log upload thing right.

My four suggestions:

  1. Check your network connectivity quality from the Zero
  2. Reconfigure the cache setting http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache but be careful with the limited memory on the Zero not to run out of memory.
  3. Try youtube after a clean install (without banned repository)
  4. Check your power supply is up to the job

thanks mate. I thought I’d reconfigured the cache with easyadvancedsettings already as it wasn’t working with the default but I’ll check. I have tried a few power supplies same problem. I guess I can try youtube minus banned repository (i’m guessing SUPERMAN (edited out the name of it) or?), just not sure how to check my network connectivity quality. Its only about 3 metres from the router at the moment.

You could check local quality with wavemon or can check you download speed with speedtest-cli.
If you don’t want to install any software just try a download and check the consistency of the speed.
