Hello to you all, I am looking for answers about the back image in kodi, on my Android 4.4 t.v. box what ever movie or tv show I am watching if I use the back botton and navigate all the Kodi's menu I can see the movie on the background and also have audio but when I use my other t.v. box that has Android 5.1 I have the audio of the movie but the background is Kodi image. I have tried different settings but no luck. Both t.v. boxes have Kodi 16, can this be fix or is a Android version limitations?
Thanks in advance IPTVKid.

I know this problem can happen in kodi if you dont stop the movie/tv show before useing the back switch. If this doesnt cure it, I wouldnt be sure of another fix as my knowledge is v limited

Hello thanks for the replay, but I know I have to stop movie before hitting the back botton what I want is my TV Box Android 5.1 to work like the 4.4, I want to see the movie on the background while I am going to different places on the Kodi menu, the box I use the most is the 5.1 Android but that one doesn't show the movie on the background, only the audio, I have search how can I enable this on my TV box but no luck, the android 4.4 does show the movie on background my logic tells me that a newer version can do this to.

Might need to contact the suppler of your box to see if they have suggestions specific to their hardware.
Things to try if you get nowhere with them:
Try a different build of Kodi or switch to SPMC.
Kodi 17 from http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm/kodi-17.0-Krypton-armeabi-v7a.apk , Kodi 16.1 from http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm/kodi-16.1-Jarvis-armeabi-v7a.apk . Could even try 15.2 from http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm/old/kodi-15.2-Isengard-armeabi-v7a.apk
SPMC 16.6.0 from https://github.com/koying/SPMC/rele...spmc/SPMC-16.6.0-spmc-68a86a2-armeabi-v7a.apk , SPMC 16.4.2 from https://github.com/koying/SPMC/releases/download/16.4.2-spmc/SPMC-armeabi-v7a_16.4.2.apk

If NONE of those help, the device supplier has no suggestions and you've tried a factory reset already, could try disabling hardware acceleration within Kodi. System, Video, click bottom left until it shows Advanced or Expert, then click the Acceleration tab. Now disable HW acceleration methods.
