Video freezes when starting to play video

    I just moved my pc to my new home and also setup my pi 5 with libreelec here.

    My PC is wired to my router and the pi is by lack of a better current option running on wifi.

    I have configured it so that the pi can acces folders on my pc that contain tv shows.

    Now when i want to play a episode, i cant get pas the hbo static opening without freezes and requiring a hard reboot by unplugging.

    How can i fix this?

    If you see frames at the start of playback some kind of network connection to the source media is functioning. If playback stutters and freezes I'd point fingers at the often-rubbish WiFi on the RPi5 resulting in inadequate bandwidth; but that would not explain a hard lock-up requiring reboot and being unable to stop playback and return to the GUI. You might need to enable debug logging in Kodi settings and persistent logging (in the LE settings add-on) to capture a debug log on disk that can be shared so we can maybe see more about what's going on. The obvious test would be to cable the RPi5 to the router. If that solves the problem, either keep using the cable or look for a USB WiFi dongle that performs better than the onboard WiFi (decent chip, terrible antenna).
