Massive performance deterioration after time

  • Thanks for the log! The only suspicious entries are these:

    Code
    Feb 02 15:29:49 LibreELEC udevil[707]: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 1).
    Feb 02 15:29:49 LibreELEC udevil[707]: The file system wasn't safely closed on Windows. Fixing.

    Checking the filesystem of the NTFS drive on Windows might be worth a try - but the log doesn't contain any of the usual USB issues messages so not really sure what's happening there.

    so long,

    I fixed the drive multiple times on Windows (gui + chkdsk) by now. The issues remain though. I guess, I'll give fsck and reformatting a shot, but I doubt that this will change anything. The services only act up when playing a movie. If fixing the file system was the reason, I suspect that this would be happening at all times, even if Kodi was just idling.

  • I know that this is a couple months old but I think that I'm also having problems related to the two hard drives that I have connected in NTFS format to my raspberry pi 4B. It is running LE10. My pi is also overclocked but doesn't seem to be related to that or temperature.

    Experiencing these symptoms:

    Smooth playback in the beginning of a movie

    4k 60FPS movies with 50 - 60FPS for 30 minutes, but then very delayed frames start showing up and it just gets worse from there.

    Restarting the system seems to temporarily fix the problem.

    Recently it started dropping the audio randomly and it doesn't come back until I rewind or reopen the video or wait a while.

    Some videos have an easier time playing than others.

    I have the Aeriel screensaver videos running from the SD card but sometimes the system crashes while it's running.

    I would try reformatting the drives but I don't have enough space to copy over all the files.

    Edit:

    Did a fresh install on another SD card and it still can't play the 4k 60FPS movie with stable frame rate but it doesn't eventually freeze up like it did.

    Same performance playing movie from SD card.
