Will this new version work with Raspberry Pie 3?

Absolutely! I'm using it on that hardware.

I have set another 2 part recording on my freesat box in the same way to see if that completes both halves. This records fine and the only issues I have with that box is it sometimes completely freezes on playback of files, usually after a skip forward or backwards (through adverts),

The "out of memory error" is still present at your latest log:

kill:constraint=CONSTRAINT_NONE,nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0,global_oom,task_memcg=/,task=tvheadend,pid=1193,uid=0

Create a swap file now (double size of your RPi RAM). It can't hurt for a few test recordings.

Quote from boragthung

Should I really have a swap file? I thought it was a bad idea on both SDCards and usb sticks. I can also put in a larger usb stick than the current 32 GB if needed.

First repair / replace that broken drive, and analyze the outcome.

If you're still unhappy afterwards, create a swap file, or buy an RPi with more RAM. Your choice.

Also check that drive:

I think I found the cause of the issue (not enough RAM):

So create a swap file:

[How to] Enable swapfile on LibreELEC

From @escalade in Remix

By default LibreELEC does not have a swapfile.

You can enable a swapfile by:

cp /etc/swap.conf /storage/.config

then edit it and change

SWAP_ENABLED="no" to SWAP_ENABLED="yes".

SWAPFILESIZE="128" to your required swapfile size - normally 4 x RAM but RAM should be enough for a normal LE system.

When you reboot, a swapfile the size of SWAPFILESIZE is generated in /storage/.config/swapfile.

I've received feedback from a developer. There are no plans to implement native DSD support.

I want to keep things sorted:

• users with questions about the MPD add-on, post here, or use the Kodi forum, where add-on developers are
• users, who want to apply the above FFmpeg patch, read this, and post here in case of questions

This thread is closed.

Did you made any adjustments to get proper recordings?

Quote from boragthung

I don't know if this is some encryption (but all channels are free to air), or possibly corruption?

My theory: The text wasn't corrupted, it just uses a character encoding system, which is unknown / not implemented by TVHeadend. Please ask at the TVHeadend forum.

PolarWeasel Your answer is already part of this thread (see post #3). Two options:

• use the MPD add-on (see post #1)
• use a self-compiled version of LE (see post #7)

PolarWeasel Do you have pass-through activated at the audio settings?

Usage of banned add-ons means no support.

Would there be information elsewhere that would be useful?

No. At this point we are only digging in the dirt. You can try two other things:

• increase GPU memory, as described here
• use other cache settings, as described here

Quote from boragthung

The part where the stream is broken - related to audio somehow?

TV signals aren't always consistent. So maybe your setup is fine, and the stream gets interrupted by a short interrupt of the TV signal. It would be interesting, how TVHeadend handles such interruptions. Does it create a new recording file? Does it have a setting for such situations?

Other than that, no idea. You're already at log level 2, and no better explanation for creating a new recording file.

I think that's when the stream gets interrupted:
