What does top say on SSH?

Da Flex : sorry, if my log was not a propper one (full debug log from LE but without a restart). Since this issue appears super random, it is hard to replicate "on command". Might be a very long log then - is that still ok if posted as you request?
Create advancedsettings.xml with log level 1 activated, and reboot. Then it's on without inconvenience. Don't care about length.

It's important to avoid copyright strikes. Legit samples here:

FYI: Tvheadend has its own forum:
-
- Upgrade to the latest stable LE release.
- Provide a complete log.
Please provide a full debug log.How to post a log (wiki)1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging2. Restart Kodi3. Replicate the problem4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)
use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link -

Which is irrelevant as my builds are dev builds that do not support auto-updating.
Even better.

You can disable auto-update.

Sorry, I forgot that we are on x86.

Then the equivalent idea is to install latest Debian (or whatever Linux) Live on USB stick, and try that hdparm version. I recently made a Debian 12 stick to bring my parallel port printer back to life.

OK. The next thing I would do is installing RPi OS on another microSD, and see whether it works on that OS.
If it does, then our devs can usually implement it on LE (maybe just copying the command to LE already does the trick).

Nothing in hd-idle.log?

Have a look at the OLEDproc add-on:
ThreadOLEDproc Add-on
I just finished one little project. The work took me several weeks, but I believe it was worth it.
There are many OLED graphic displays on the market that are cheaper and look better than traditional (character) LCD displays.
I was sorry that so far these displays could not be used as a display for the Kodi multimedia center.
That is why I set myself the task of remedying this shortcoming. I am presenting the result of my work to you today.
The core of the solution is a new add-on called OLEDproc.…

There is an hd-idle command, which is provided by the System Tools add-on:

It is difficult to have an explanation for your problem because you tell us almost nothing. So, I will explain what I do and I assure you that it works perfectly:
My system consists of three drives, 'sda' is the LE drive, and 'sdb' and 'sdc' are my USB storage drives, in these conditions I run the following commands in /storage/.config/autostart.sh :
/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.system-tools/bin/hd-idle -a sdb -i 300 -l /storage/hd-idle.log
…
elonesnaJuly 8, 2023 at 9:03 AM It also generates a log file, so maybe helpful for further investigations.
-
If i understood i can use wget or download it to /storage/.update, is that correct?
Yes.
-
Yes. Login by SSH, cd /storage/.update, download the new nightly image by wget <URL>, and reboot.

I have an USB hard drive connected via USB and have no problem in general but when I pause a movie or anything I'm watching for just few minutes, HDD spins down.
Most users prefer that behavior. So in general it's not a bug, but a feature.

I tried to use hdparm in autostart.sh with this command: "hdparm -S 0 /dev/sda2" and also "/usr/bin/hdparm -S /dev/sda2" but with no luck: if I pause my watching, HDD spins down, always.
The thing that looks stange to me is the fact that if I lunch the command "hdparm -S 0 /dev/sda2" from an SSH shell when the HDD is sleeping then it start to spin up immediately.
The above facts result in the conclusion that your HDD firmware does the energy management, not LE.
- The HDD firmware spins down whenever idle in mounted mode.
- The HDD firmware takes hdparm as an abstract task, and spins up without further command interpretation.
