    - Hooray -

    the addon runs well since >1h (tested on Generic LE nightly-20210222-d8710b2)

    usually with the default 4.2 watching Sat-TV kodi would have been crashed, so it seems it fixes my crashes [1]

    also my Continuity Error's stay low, too (currently 3), usually they blow up (> 100)

    !!! Thanks !!! :cool:

    - where is your PM with your bank account, CvH ? -

    the only thing I can see is that the Web-IF logs nothing (see attached screenshot) until epgdb kicks in, while /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.tvheadend43/service.log shows entries (tail -f in an terminal).

    - not that dramatic for me -

    I'll investigate further and if all stays well, I'll update my bug reports.

    my bugs:

    VideoPlayer segfault · Issue #19152 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub

    and

    Kodi crashes watching Sat-TV · Issue #17531 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub

    ...

    thats Tvheadend 4.2 not 4.3

    mine is 4.3 like the tile of that thread might spoiled :)

    thanks for lightning fast support !!!

    well, my question was more focused on internals then "outer" numbers.

    anyway:

    addon installs fine on last LE-nightly.

    needed to disable the elder addon from nightly (4.2)

    - if one stumbles on it: both addon (4.2 + 4.3) are "sharp" if it wasn't a fresh/clean/new LE-nightly-install (will test that too...) -

    just running a new tvh-setup with 4.3 ... and I'm really curious if it will fix my crash bug too...

    stay tuned !

    ping CvH

    how much beer(s) I need to "sponsor" to see a TvHeadend -ge (greater than or equal) 4.3 for the shiny new LE (after it's released) ?

    but be aware 8):

    - I got NO paypal account and won't get one, so only your bank account delivered via PM are an option for sponsored beer(s)

    - the amount of beer will be limited, cause I'm "the poorest - in any sense - GDPR-7 on earth"

    - beer(s) should be shared with other LE-/Kodi-Developer's in your surroundings to encourage "community-based beer-induced brainstorming's"

    I'm not very convinced from that statement "LE 10.0 will be stable release for Generic..."

    I'm running nightlies since some weeks/months, but my bug is still there

    - didn't test the lastest nightly though (will do right now [*]), cause I didn't see changes regarding my bug in the git's -

    I hope for the LE project I'm alone with this bug, but...

    - I tested one 2 diff. machine (both Intel though)

    - to me it seems there are obvious some things going on which could (!) crash kodi watching SAT-TV and it - alas - does on my boxes

    - I'm waiting on an TvHeadend 4.3 for the new LE Release to test with (it seems it fixed a simular bug moons ago)

    - last two chance for me:

    1. test with an PCI-SAT-Card (currently DigiBit R1, though that equipment works with TvHeadend 4.3 on LE 9.2.6 flawless ...)

    2. test with an linux distro with kodi/TvHeadend

    Tvheadend 4.3 arrived today - thanks CvH - and seems to fixes the above crashes

    yup, mentioned this: "...suppressable via an config file..."

    but that wasn't my point.

    doing as you suggests, includes that one could forget that debug is on what - IFAIK - fills the the log and/or an increased writting on ssd and such.

    at least I really would have an "inconspicuous reminder" that debug is on

    currently setting debug on displays a jumpy info (log, mem,cpu) on the display.

    IIRC it's suppressable via an config file, but...

    I would like to have

    - an option in settings to set debug on without the above jumpy info and

    - an small info (one liner) signaling debug is on, lets say "Debug on/enabled" or such on the screen

    crash_log with LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.80-nightly-20210128-fb96fe2:

    - pastecrash didn't work (no link returned) -

    dmesg's last line:

    hint:

    on the above NUC connected to the same DigiBit with TvHeadend 4.3 running the same TV channel I also see in the web-IF Continuity error's, but so far (TV is running ~30 minutes) only 1.

    If you continue to paste logs from both machines maybe someone can see a pattern ...

    okay, I'll try to provide a crash_log with debug on.

    one question: should I run the newest nightly or leave it with the yesterday's one ?

    description:

    after some time watching Sat-TV the screen gets increasing artefacts/stuttering with an subsequence black/crashed screen.

    on the same box LE (release 9.2.6) with TvHeadEnd 4.3 runs without errors.

    crashlog:

    http://ix.io/2Nea

    ...

    The TVheadend server is set to the correct timezone (CET/CEST) automtically via NTP and the client to the correct regional setting. (also via NTP)

    The time in the upper right corner is correct.

    This problem occures only on my Libreelec/Raspi systems, not on the Windows/Kodi-systems. There the EPG is aligned correct.

    ...

    No idea regarding Raspi's, but in the network setting (LE-Config-AddOn) there is a setting regarding ntp too. (deep, where you configure the DHCP and such)

    at least on my generic LE (auto added during install)

    if you're using an Fritzbox:

    you could configure it to provide the ntp server in you network

    So did it get any better with LibreELEC nightly builds? In a couple of months Kodi 19 should be ready so I am asking the alpha and beta testers if it's still stuttering on Intel NUCs w/ 25Hz content.

    from my side: a clearly NO.

    my last two comments are still valid.

    my last tests with the last nightly's on an usb-stick installed during the last 2-3 week revealed that the screen (not the whole box) is crashing.

    I guess it's cause there is no nightly tvheadend (see comment #84 and #82) for LE nightly to test with.

    Sat-TV runs fine for ~20-30 minutes with some small amount of artefacts (2-3).

    then suddenly the screen goes black and never comes back, audio is still running.

    I need to stop the play and restart, then after a further ~30 minutes I see the next black screen and so on.

    running tail -f <log files> I see a increasing number of "Continuity counter error" from 1 to ~50 during 5 minutes, then the screen crashes.

    LE release with an nightly tvheadend runs fine without artefacts on the same environment and I guess with the same amount of "Continuity error".

    I haven't reported it since now, cause there is already a simular report. [1]

    daily reading the git's of LE, Kodi, Tvheadend, ..., and testing nightly from time to time I'm waiting for a nightly tvheadend for the nightly LE. I've read there will be one, but the new year is still young ...

    that's said:

    it shouldn't hold you off to test nightly yourself, maybe your problem is apart from mine.

    otherwise we should start an petition with the 2 requests:

    - nightly (!) TvHeadend

    - update function for nightly

    [1]

    any idea how and where to paste/upload an ~8 MB kodi-crash-log ???

    edit:

    found a way: attached as zip (tvheadend-service.log, kodi-crash.log)
