It could be the shading effect of kodi interface (maybe not correctly managed by the video driver). Try to disable it in the screensaver configuration and check if it freezes. You can even try to access the config menu while playing movie to check if it's the shading effect.

Sadly I've tried disabling the screen saver completely.. still locks up. Also seems to happen within 20 seconds sometimes so it'll be way before the screen saver triggers.

Again.. if its doing something like playing a movie or a game.. I can leave it for hours with no freeze. But if it's idle and not doing anything.. it freezes.

Might be a power save related issue with the Nvidia drivers since it doesn't happen on batocera with nouveau. But they have an older Kodi so no Netflix add-on and no chrome... Can't win haha.

If others distros lock up I hardly doubt there is a fix for this. Basically it's a 11 year old legacy card that won't see much support anymore.

So pesonally I would suggest Nvidia users to get rid of their cards sooner than later... I have to figure out how to deal with this removals & how to integrate a substitute like Wayland/Weston but from all I heard X11 is pretty much a dead end and since Nvidia does not support other displayservers you won't be able to use their drivers anymore. Of course there is nouveau but this won't support all features as the proprietary driver does.

I see.

Im sure I could replace the card since it's mxm but they're expensive.

Maybe a nouveau solution will arrive eventually.

Thank you for the help and info

Would it help if I posted my logs? I had a quick look through them all but can't see the event that locks the system up.

On a side note.. once the system locks up I can still access the samba share but the screen is completely unresponsive.

Again.. it only happens when the system is doing nothing.

When playing media or a game is running.. even if noone is doing inputs.. it doesn't lockup.

But if it's left on any screen idle doing nothing.. it will lock up within 1 minute.

I was mistaken.. it seems like it may be a kernel issue.

I've been trying various driver revisions on Ubuntu and it freezes after 30secs to 2 mins with the Nvidia proprietary drivers but doesn't with nouveau.. so may be a driver/kernel issue but I have no idea.

But back to libreelec/rr

Kodi works flawlessly if I play a movie without freezing but as soon as I leave it idle without playing anything it will freeze and only powering off will help.

Same with emulation.. if I'm actively playing a game it doesn't lock up.. but if I let it go idle it will freeze.

What could be the issue?

Hello.

I currently use this build on an older hp aio with a Nvidia 9300m so it defaults to using the legacy driver.

However this driver is bugged and causes freezes after 30 minutes.

Is it possible to change it to use the nouveau driver or the patched 340 driver that stops the crashes?

Thank you for all your work
