[Solved] Kodi and VC error | Black Screen

[magarto]

Hi,

I have a playback error with VC using Raspbian and Kodi 16.0 (also in 15.2). When I try to play IPTV and some MKV videos, Kodi only shows a black screen and logs the following errors:

I don't use the new Raspberry video driver. My kernel is 4.5
Could anyone help me fixing it? Thanks in advance.

You are using an experimental kernel and firmware, obviously. Try with stable kernel/firmware.
How large is your GPU memory?

Thanksss!!!!! I cannot understand why I didn't realize.
gpu_mem=192 in /boot/config.txt and a firmware update fixed my problem.
