Every release after 9.2.0 freezes on Raspberry Pi 4

1st Official Post

    Hi,

    I have an issue with every release after 9.2.0 when playing movies. Libreelec/Kodi freezes at (it seems) random, the image stops and the sound is in a very short loop. I can still login using SSH to the system but can't run a pastekodi (the command never exits). After reboot I ran pastekodi-> http://ix.io/2ykx and cat kodi.old.log | pastebinit -> http://ix.io/2yky

    Any ideas what is going on? On 9.2.0 I don't have any issues. I tried to remove as much addons as I could.

    Yeah, looks like a buffering issue, and the reason for that could be your latency setting at advancedsettings.xml:

    Code
    <advancedsettings version="1.0">
    <video>
        <latency>
            <delay>166</delay>
        </latency>
    </video>
</advancedsettings>

    Thanks, I'll remove that setting to see if that resolves the issue. I have that setting because otherwise audio and video are out of sync in my setup.

    EDIT:

    It seems to resolve the issue, no freezes so far. But as mentioned before audio and video are now out of sync. Is there a change from 9.2.1 and up that could cause the issue with the latency on a Raspberry Pi (not sure if this is a Raspberry Pi specific issue)?

    EDIT:

    Again the system freezes with the same symptoms, my first conclusion was made too quick.
