[RPi4] Weird delay on first play after start

    Hi everyone.

    My apologies if this was discussed elsewhere, but I can't find anything... Maybe I am just bad at putting this into the right words.

    For a while now, I have this strange problem: After booting the first play takes ages to start. As I hit play, for up to two minutes Kodi does not respond at all. After this, it wakes up the HDD and finally starts playing. After this, the consecutive plays work just fine. This also happens for videos played via the Youtube addon. It seems to be a rather general issue. For me, this started fully out of the blue - I am not aware of an update or something alike that may have caused this.

    I'm running LibreElec 12.2.1 on a RPi4. The RPi is connected to a rather ancient Samsung TV. Additionally, there is an HDD directly attached to the RPi via USB as storage.

    Any ideas?

    Please provide a full debug log.
