What to do when kodi freezes

1st Official Post

    Happy Day After Thanksgiving,

    I'm running Kodi on pi4 with 4gb of ram and a 128g sd chip. I've loaded all my tunes and family pictures on /storage/music and /storage/pictures, respectively. I was listening to some soothing samba music when I clicked on a folder full of family pictures. That was about a half-hour ago. It's frozen & unresponsive. Happily, I have a ssh session open and can look around from the terminal side of things. This ain't the first time it's frozen, so I figure some doing something evil--but don't know what.

    Any suggested terminal commands I can use to figure out what caused the hard freeze?

    Thanks in advance,

    steve
