Music playback stops at random, Kodi freezes (on LE 11 | RPi4)

  • Hi all,

    it started a couple of months ago with a short freeze of playback but got worse and worse over the last weeks/days. Music stops for a couple seconds up to a minute and then continues. Looks like Kodi freezes but nothing is (visually) happening but CPU temperature increases by a couple of °C. I play flac/mp3 from an external SSD connected to the RPi4.

    And I cannot find out why this happens. Before that (whatever that is) it did work just perfectly. /shrug

    You can see a bin-ed debug log here.

    Because it's about music playback I included component specific logging (Audio component and audio/video timing), maybe that helps.

    Any ideas? Thanks so much in advance!

    Best,

    RC

    RPi4, LibreElec 11.0.1, Kodi 20.1

  • Well,

    did you check the SSD ?

    Maybe there is a problem and the Pi can't sometimes read the Data from the SSD anymore ?

    SSDs didn't last as long as HDDs did.

    I assume that the SSD is connected with an USB-Cable to the Pi.

    Did you try another USB-Cable and / or another USB-Port on the Pi ?

    Did the SSD get her Power from the Pi or did it have her own power supply ?

    1. Upgrade to the latest stable LE release.
    2. Provide a complete log.
    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
