tvheadend PVR freezes Kodi if VAAPI is enabled

  • If this only occurs in SD mpeg2 videos you my work around the issue by activating expert settings level and disable VAAPI mpeg2 only.

    The CPU can easily decode mpeg2 and VAAPI is still used for HD video.

  • Here is a freeze-log from libreelec BETA 3: RMgA

    I set the recording profile to "pass" in tvheadend and did a recording: Die Ruhrpottwache-SAT.12017-02-1712-59.ts?dl=1

    I played it several times, the first time it froze, but the CPU load numbers and memory on top still changed and playback recovered after a while (First time that happened btw). Next time I played it, kodi completely froze. There is no crashlog because kodi is still running, it just doesn't react to any input. (The sigterm is from when I shut it down after ~15 minutes)

    Here is another freezing log from when I played the file through the file system, no tvheadend involved (I had to restart it several times)
