Reproducible freeze while using live TV

1st Official Post

    Hello together,

    after updating to 10.0.0 my system hangs reproducibly after a few minutes while watching live TV via the tvheadend pvr-addon.

    Board: ASRock N3700-ITX with onboard graphics card

    Crash log: http://ix.io/3yoN

    System log: http://ix.io/3yoM

    Can you guys possibly tell what the problem is?

    Thanks!

    First remove the crappy piracy repos and add-on(s) that are present on your Kodi setup.

    Then try & reproduce the error(s) again. If that is still the case, provide a new debug log file.

    oh man. You're right, sorry!

    After the cleanup, it stays that way. The image (and the whole computer) freezes after about 10 minutes. I can delay the freeze if I change the channel within the 10 minutes. Have replaced the log files in the first post.

    Do you find any indication of the problem in the files?

    no expert here !

    that said:

    *I* see a lot of CD/DVD errors (... blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sr0 ...)

    so my questions are:

    1)

    is there a somehow broken and/or selfburned CD/DVD in the drive which the box tries to read over and over again so the box is too busy to display liveTV correct ?

    2)

    what tvheadend version are you running 4.2 or 4.3 ?

    if 4.2:

    update to 4.3 !

    I am not sure if that's a good idea, I am using TVH 4.3 but I did not encounter any advantages, instead there's a bit strange behaviour of TVH 4.3 configuration webpage (depends on browser) and at least an issue with Kodi which can't display subtitles on some TV channels.

    I have removed the CD, but the problem is still there.

    The tvheadend version is 4.2.8

    The only change I made to the entire system was to update LibreElec to 10.0.0.

    The old version made zero problems with live tv

    I don't use subtitles, so I can't say anything to it, but I have had a lot of crashes with elder tvheadend.

    only fixed with 4.3
