My last working version is on kernal 4.9.96 which works just fine on the audio.

Since 4.14 is supposed to be the latest stable version, I thought let's give it a try.
Unfortunately 4.14.54+ still has the audio stutter issue and if I looked at the other thread where Nachteule posted my issue, it seems that even 4.17 still has this issue.

Yep, the issue is still there. But I can not wait longer until it fixed. You can revert to 4.9, thats the reason why 4.9 kernel is still available

Maybe you can add a post to that issue at github helping the people fixing that issue

Quote:Apart from this I checked if all my other stuff was still working in 4.14.54+.
I found out that samba is a bit different now:
- it doesn't automatically start at boot anymore
- the service autostart/start/stop feature in xbian-config (cmd line and kodi gui) does not seem to work anymore.
- samba will not start anymore using cmd sudo service (x) start

So something changed there.
I could resolve it however with
sudo nmbd
sudo smbd
and putting these in my boot script

But I wonder how it is supposed to work in 4.14 in xbian and I could not find that much info on it.

Nothing been changed, that's the reason why you could not find anything. Just tested, I can enable/disable Samba via xbian-config->Services, works as expected.

Btw, smbd never runs per default, it will be spawned by inetd process if a request comes in. I have added a function to switch between inetd and service mode of Samba, but this part has not been officially released, that function is still dormant.

Quote:If it is a real issue I can start a new thread for this just to not contaminate this thread, but I thought l'll ask first...

In the mean time I think I will still be using 4.9.96 though.

Any reactions/responses please?

I you like you can open new thread, Samba issue is OT here

Revert ot 4.9 is good decision in your case
