Heres a question if anyone has any insight. My kodi be up for 6 hours
I go to play 4k hdr file around 30gb and it skipps and stutters and lags along with navigating kodi menu.
Summary info sais 200 or so mb and memory used percentage down bottom around 91
I close kodi and restart now while streaming the same file its smooth and perfect and free memory is about 530 with memory used at 80.
How and why does this happen and is there any resolve other than restarting kodi??

Any Windows device with at least 8GB of RAM should run Kodi fine, cant comment on any particular Mini Pcs cause I dont have any. A mini Keyboard and mouse combo works well either bluetooth or usb receiver. Voice search in Kodi relies on microphone permissions, which are managed through the device's system settings rather than within Kodi itself. On Nvidia Shield devices, users must enable microphone access for the Kodi app by navigating to Settings > Apps > Kodi > Permissions and selecting "Allow while using app" for microphone access.
This step is essential, as the feature may not function even if the remote's microphone button is pressed if permissions are not granted.
