Hi folks, I am having a small problem with my libreelec on pi3. Whenever I watching iptv I can only get 60 seconds or so before the system hangs/freezes. I am unable to ssh to it or use the remote thus forcing a hard power reset. Could someone please help me? Many thanks. Here is my log: ix.io/3WhK
libreelec freezes up after about 60 seconds of watching iptv

Change back gpu_mem to 76, with 512MB you waste a lot of memory and very certainly kodi runs out of memory because of this.
And use a better power supply, the RPi reports undervoltage, which can cause odd crashes as well.

Thank you. I have done that. That helped some. I now get a couple of minutes. I am using a proper official pi plug though. But it still crashes on live iptv. Just not as quickly
It is reporting undervoltage with a proper plug? That is concerning. Should I buy a new one? -
How old is your PSU? After some years they can lose wattage.
-
Hmmm, I guess it has been 5 years, too long?

If the RPi is often used, then this could be too long. The under-voltage warning is in your log, so I suggest to buy a new PSU with 3A.

2.5A is fine, that's what the official RPi 1-3 power supply is rated for (RPi4 PS is 3A).
Buy a Raspberry Pi 1, 2 and 3 Power Supply – Raspberry PiMicro USB power supply for Raspberry Pi 1, 2 and 3. This product is still in production, but is not recommended for new designs.www.raspberrypi.comI'd recommend getting another official one.

I'm using a 3.1A PSU on my RPi 3B+. The benefit of a 3A+ PSU is that you can also use it for RPi 4 (with USB-C adapter). In case you're thinking about upgrading in the future, this comes in mind. Your choice.

Post another log with the other PSU, and at log level 1. You're still at log level 0:
Code2022-04-26 10:49:16.271 T:837 INFO <general>: Disabled debug logging due to GUI setting. Level 0.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 -
Lolz, I'm stupid, sorry for wasting people's time, I see my SD card is full/nearly full, that must be the problem. Let me see how it is behaving now.
BUT I think you were right about the plug since I no longer see the error "Under-voltage detected!"
