Is there an old „journalctl“? I had to powercycle the system. Or shall I try to recreate the issue while running journalctl?
[x86-64] What to log to find the reason for hangs?

SSH in and run ^ after boot. It will dump the initial log to file then tail/append future journal content to the same file. Now go start something playing until it hangs. The logging task will die when the system hangs but the file will remain on-disk after you power cycle and log back in. Then do:
a) cat /storage/journal.log | paste
b) cat /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.old.log | paste
Share the URL's and if you're lucky there's a trace of something in the system log that correlates to the kodi old log.

I fear there is nothing in the journalctl.
BTW: I ran in background:
while journalctl --cursor-file /storage/journalctl.crsr >> /storage/journalctl.log; do sleep 60 ; done &

So maybe my device simply(?) has a defect.
I will do a last experiment and install another Linux flavour.
I will report here whether or not I was successful. Is that okay, even when it's only remotely LibreElec related?

The most likely issue is an ancient AMD GPU based on TeraScale 2 architecture from 2009.

Maybe. On the other hand: I installed Kodi on Alpine Linux and currently there are no issues.

Try LE 13 nightly.

Hm… I'm a bit reluctant to because my current setup works. Why do you think LE13 will help?

Updated drivers on newer Linux kernel.
