I am not sure who to blame, I guess kodi - but not sure.
...
it's my favorite too (esp. running all the new kernels, mesa, ..., but not GBM, on my desktop without bugs)
A debug log when it happens may be useful.
...
when the suffering is high enough 
...To reproduce the error I simply disconnected from wifi, connected ethernet and watched a movie
...
"disconnected from Wifi" ?!
and ethernet was okay...
- me is somewhat confused reading the thread title -
anyway, regarding ffmpeg and nfs errors in your log's *I* would try the following:
- stay connected with ethernet and then try to play exactly the same video
- stay connected with ethernet and the try to play another video
then, try the above both with wifi (ethernet cable pulled !)
As I said I'm no expert reading log's, but for me either your video is damaged (WebRip ?) or your wifi is flaky.
But it seems you answered the question already (cit.: "connected ethernet and watched a movie") even when the "a" in the cit. would be a "the" !
another hint:
under unix/linux blanks and brackets have special meanings *I* would (try to) avoid them (blanks => underscores, ...)
He lost time trying with x86 64 bits versions.
that CPU doesn't support 64 bit
see:
=> Intel 64 bit
AFAIK, LE is 64 bit only
yup nightly is 11 and the addon for it are 10.80.4
see:
so nextpvr is there; plex is in question (correct english ?)
I see flicking since the last ~15 nightlies during channel switching too, esp. with the remote's up/down key, but not (much) with a usual keyboard pressing the channel number key .., slightly confusing
- it's nightly and alpha, so what ... ? -
I will try nightly shortly. Are they relatively stable? Will I still have my nextpvr and plex addons
relative is relative !
serious:
running nightly for month with less/nothing to complain.
your addon's: *you* will tell us ! 
- to much thinking could cause headache ... - 
the "Aspirin" 
:
Settings:
a) Interface => Startup => startup window => ?
b) PVR & Live TV
=> most left bottom corner: switch to at least "Standard"
then take a look in
- Playback
- Guide
- ...
c) ?
please mark this thread as resolved when the "Aspirin" was the correct drug
journal:
crash log:
running nightly-20220129-e41ad9f (Generic.x86_64)
- I'm no expert in video resolution, codecs and all that stuff -
it seems "Deinterlace method" "Deinterlace" in combination with video/TV material with 1920x1088i causes crashes (?!)
see journal => line number 1209
what I've done:
watching german Sat-TV and switched from another channel (HD TV, completely fine) to the TV channel "ServusTV".
just after the channel appeared the screen was completely green and after some seconds the screen crashed.
again tunning to the above channel: the same and afterwards LE crashed and the box rebooted.
info:
the playing channel/movie was: 1920x1088i (!) 50 (?) FPS
HD-TV is usually (?): 1280x720p 50 FPS
checking the player settings (name ?): when the TV channel is running: Enter-Key => most right icon => "Video Setting" => "Deinterlace method" [1]
turned out it was set to "Deinterlace" what caused a green screen and the subseq. crash.
btw.: setting it to "Bob" causes a dark red screen (without crash ?)
all other deinterlace settings are working fine on ServusTV !
all deinterlace settings for movies with 1280x720p have no influence esp. no green/red screens or crashes !
I usually set "Deinterlace method" to "VAAPI- Motion compensend" to have a smoother picture esp. for channels: EuroNews, ntv* and Vox (all: SD material)
So I've no idea what set it (back) to "Deinterlace" (maybe it was me - I'm unsure -)
I mostly haven' had any trouble with nightly and my box (see signature, [2]) over month, apart from:
- the above (was the second occurrence: I already saw this some days/a week ago and it also was a movie with same resolution) and
- 2-3 days ago a audio sync error with a crash (updated to a new nightly and it was gone)
[1]
it would be nice (if not already present ?) to have a sorta "set to defaults" for all the setting in that config windows (Enter-Key => most right icon) Q.:
in the LE Configuration Tool => "System": is "Reset to Defaults" what I'm asking for ?
Does it reset "Deinterlace method" too ???
[2]
boot-/kernel parameter is "i915.enable_guc=2"
I recently installed libreelec on a gmk nucbox (intel celeron j4125) for use with the nextpvr pvr-addin and the colors are washed out. It works fine in kodi on a windows 11 pc. thanks
a quick search in the INet resulted in "your box has a very low powered GPU".
anyway, I would try nightly: newer GPU driver for Intel GPU's and hopefully for yours too.
howto:
read
Talk soon.
and please describe your problem exactly !
- what you're doing when your bug occur
- what do you see
- and so on ...
please see:
as more info's you provide as sooner the problem could be solved
I wouldn't spent 250 $ for such an old box.
I would recommend a (relative stress free running LE) Intel NUC, a NUC10i3FNH is about 340 €, see link
be aware: you need
- RAM (2x 4GB: ~40 €) and
- storage (500 GB NVMe, Samsung EVO Plus: ~75€) or a HDD (be aware: the disk high: 7 mm => see the NUC spec's)
- maybe the OS
remote admin with anydesk (the flatpak version when running a linux distro) or native for windows, not for running LE.
in germany:
I'm no expert reading log file, but it seems to me the last log file you provided is incomplete and I wonder if "'debug logging" is on, see:
That was my idea yesterday too, but no, uptime displays the last time you booted the box (only the current season) and nothing from the past.
with continuous logging switched on:
journalctl --list-boots
might do
btw.: onboard GPU is build in the CPU
if you're from germany you could use one of the price search engines, maybe this one:
Mainboards heise online Preisvergleich / Deutschland
let say "Intel Sockel 1200"
you're able fine tune the search for the feature you need:
- display ports for your current display equipment
- PCIe slot for your DVB card
- ...?
if you have choosen one:
- check the support, esp. how often the manufactur "tried" to fix the bios issues. in short: how often they released a bios in what time frame. "often" could mean bad (-bios developer). [ my impression: ASUS seems to have some on their payroll since years]
- what is readable on the INet, e.g. linux support, etc.
if you choose a Intel 10000 or 11000 series CPU you need to run nightly !
the i5-11400 (without suffix) CPU is a cheap one, 6 core ....
AFAIK, there no or not much differences to a i5-12400 CPU (maybe I'm wrong)
buy the boxed one; longer warranty
buy i5 versus i3 to maybe use the box as a office/surf box when your TV equipment change some years later
if you want PCIe-4 support for an NVMe check that too (Spec's of the mainboard: what CPU supports PCIe-4 ?)
there are not much differences - apart from the price - between an Samsung EVO Plus (PCIe-3) and an Samsung 980 Pro (PCIe-4)
I'm owning both and the elder Samsung EVO Plus (year 2019, FW: 2B2QEXM7).
The newer EVO seems to have a newer controller and therefore no support for the lastest FW (4B2QEXM7)
a shot in the dark:
when a free-to-air channel is running:
- press enter- key
- move to the most right icon (a gear wheel)
- press enter
- play with:
* "select resolution" => adjust to something your monitor supports
* "Video setting" => DeInterlace Mode (OFF ?)
background:
I've seen this issue too with one (?) channel (german, servus-tv) 2-3 nightlies back.
~time frame~: when I played with "DRM Prime" and Monitor settings.
a for 3-4 times pulsing green screen followed by a crash and a kodi (?) restart to the home screen.
maybe this is important: servus-tv's video stream is 1920x1088i
other HD channels are: 1280x720p and were fine
I'm unsure if I've seen the green issue with SD channels too (Vox, n-tv*)
I've no idea for/against (?) your issue, but maybe trying nightly might help
be aware: I've also no idea if the addon "PlexKodiConnect" is available for nightly, so check that first !
hint:
you could run nightly also from an usb stick to test before iron your disk
1 Gbps network looks like it should be able to handle 125MB/s...
in theory !
125 MB/s minus overhead := "effective data rate"
