Loop rebooting problem - HifiBerry Amp+ - raspberry 3 B+

  • Hi,

    I installed libreelec on the following hardware:

    • raspberry pi 3 B+
    • HiFiBerry Amp+ (2015)
    • The Hifiberry alimentation: Meanwell GS60A18-P1J
    • SD Card: SanDisk Ultra 32Gb Classe 10, U1, homologuée A1

    I installed libre Elec:

    • v8.2.5
    • 2 Add-On
      • Youtube
      • france.tv

    I also have a synology and share its contents in NFS.

    My problem:

    When I add a directory in Kodi to read the contents of the NFS share video. All proceeds normally, the files start to be added to the database, then the raspberry reboot. It reboots several times.

    If I can select an item from the main menu other than videos, it stops rebooting.

    If I go into system to remove the NFS share. He stops rebooting but I don't have movies ......

    I look for the cause of the problem but I can't move forward. Do you have tracks?

    I added kodi's log and system's log just after the reboot problem.

    Thanks in advance, and sorry for my bad english...

  • Hi,

    Thanks a lot for your quick answer.

    • Da Flex => You are right. I removed the Hifiberry Amp + card and everything works.
    • chewitt => I tried with the version 8.95.001 and I had the same problem.

    Do you think it can come from a power supply problem?, The Hifiberry card uses external power supply for both AMP and the Raspberry. Can I add USB power ?

    There is another solution ? or LibreElec and Hifiberry Amp+ are not compatible ?

    Thanks again

    PS: I will contact Hifiberry for the power supply question.

  • Thanks Klojum for your answer.

    I don't test with two power supplies for the moment.

    Hifiberry tell me that the Amp+ was designed for the system up to the raspberry 3B, not the B+. For the B+, I need to use the Amp2.

    I try with Rapsberry 2 and Amp+ and last LibreElec.

    In this configuration, everything is good.

    This indicates a PSU issue, too. The RasPi 3B+ needs more wattage by default. In case you are using WiFi for NFS access, I'm very sure that it's a PSU issue. WiFi transmission needs more wattage, compared to Ethernet.
