I'm a member of the Smile program -- when I shop a smile.amazon.com Amazon donates a little money to a charitable institution of my choice with every purchase I make. The smile site is otherwise the same as the regular site (as far as I know). You can just replace the "smile" with "www" in the URL. If you aren't logged in as a smile member you'll automatically get transferred to the www site on any navigation.

I noticed tonight after no dl or moving of files to drive, that KODi still locked up on playback. I did not restart my pc, instead I shut down and unpluged usb port. After I rebooted everything went back to normal. What does that tell you?

Shutdown what? Unplugged what USB port? Rebooted what?

So to recap. My PC is connected to hdd, and external wifi adapter via USB hub plugged into 3.0 port. When KODI locks up, it's usually after I move a file from PC to hdd or after a large dl. Tonight I did not move or dl, it still locked up. So I did my normal routine of shut down PC and unplug the port ( seems to unclog congestion), and KODI WAS back to working. I always do a restart on KODI after plugging in. So just trying to figure out what makes it stall, if a restart or shut down of PC/hdd/wi Fi adapter, makes it work.

I don't know what's going on there. But you should use the standard debugging technique of changing one thing at a time to find the cause of the problem.

Good advice. What do you think of these usb setting fixes that I have never seen in Windows before. My wifi keeps disconnecting on heavy dl use.

I showed this problem on my computer, there was disconnect wifi and auto restart the PC,

and stopped wifi some minutes, after restart PC manually wifi comes back.

You are not the cousins I hate; you are the cousins we don’t need. You were never part of our love. My dad never liked Phil. Your mom is the beast anyway you want to slice it. He is not your partner he is mine. Nor are you the mAgIC. I don’t need to respect you, I don’t even like you. Can you get out of the box Jake?
