RPi4 + LE 9.2.6: crash/reboot when viewing pictures

Ni.Ws · November 26, 2020 at 5:40 PM

Hi all, new user/first post.

I have 2 RPi4 with latest LibreElec which work fine.

Except when viewing pictures on 1 of them: the system crashes & reboots every time.

Media is on a networkshare.

Any idea what might be wrong or what I can do to get an idea about it?

Thanks a lot for helping out!

Is it the actual viewing of photos that triggers the crash, or the initial creation of thumbnails of the photos for caching?

Other than that, a fully debug-enabled log file would be nice.

Please provide a full debug log.

How to post a log (wiki)

1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
2. Restart Kodi
3. Replicate the problem
4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

Hi, thanks for your reply and looking into it!

The crash happens after opening a folder with pictures on the source; it has previews.

This is a known issue on 1GB RPi4s, it's a bit short on memory.

Try adding cma=64M at the end of /flash/cmdline.txt, see here for more info: RPI4 on Libreelec 9.1.502 thumbnail/pictures problems

so long,

HiassofT, Can I do this on a running system or do I have to unmount and edit on another system?

Both will work fine, choose whatever suits you best.

so long,
