Sorry, I wasn't watching this thread anymore.

I'm currently using LE on a RPi 400 - no more issues regarding crashes due to low memory, picture cache overflow, SMB errors etc. So I think your problem is unrelated.

I occasionally get the a.m. error message - which in my case is correct, the file Kodi tries to open is a directory in reality (and contains the backup of a DVD).

Hi,

I finally got a RPi 400 (DE) for 79,90 € from the shop CvH mentioned. Fast delivery, good price, KODI seems to be working fine, so I'm quite happy.

Hi Guys,

many thanks for the valuable input.

I think I'll stick to the RaspPi 400. I wasn't aware that at the current price of 79,- € it is quite a bargain, compared to the alternatives (no need for case and new power supply). I'm not sure I can use the keyboard, though (I have to hide my RPi in a sideboard from my two toddlers, they've already killed my subwoofer...).

Oliver

PS: That's getting really annoying. 5 min ago the RPi 400 was available for 79,90 incl. shipping. But no longer. The best current offer is >90,- € or the kit for 115,-

Ok,

what seems available for less than 100 € (4 GB configuration; only the board) here in Germany:

Odroid C4

Rock Pi 3 A

Banana PI BPI-M5

Hi,

currently I'm using LibreELEC on a Raspberry Pi 3 B (no media attached, everything fetched over the network; connected to normal TV via Receiver; HDMI-CEC would be vital). Overall I'm happy with the setup, but I run into more and more issues which seem to be hardware limitations of the RPi 3 (memory, ability to play H.265 Full-HD, ...).

The logical upgrade path would be a RPi 4, but currently it is not really available.

So what other choices are there? My budget is around 100,- €.

Odroid C4? Banana, Orange, Rock Pi? Is LE the best choice for these devices or should I look elsewhere? Currently, 4K is not relevant, but of course will be become in the future...

With cma-512 the issue is gone (almost). I succeeded in crashing Kodi once, but failed to reproduce it (scrolling pictures, album covers, artist images).

Da Flex: changing to NFS didn't make a difference.

I'll change my standard installation to cma-512, too and will report if the situation has resolved.

Hi,

do you need the debug output in the crash log? I seems I'm getting to the sizelimit of pastecrash - no URL is created, although with 'pastecrash -c' I see the whole log (around 1.6M). ('echo Hello world. | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io' works too)

Pastecrash (new crash):

http://ix.io/41rO

Interestingly, this time it was a bit harder to provoke a crash & reboot.

Using LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-11.0-nightly-20220701-10d897b.img I can provoke a crash by accessing my picture folder (I haven't tested scrolling through my album covers as populating the database is a bit time consuming).

Logs: http://ix.io/41od

I've overwritten my spare SD card with "dd". Is this what you meant with "different" SD card, or do you really mean a physically different one?

Regards,

Oliver

Rebooted into a clean LE 10 install. Attached my Music-SMB share, populated the database and scrolled my Albums: no crash.

Connected the image folder (s. above): crash after scrolling a few pictures.

I'll try to get a full log, but Kodi is heavily used in the evenings...

Oliver

The easy part: After increasing cma size to 448 I can scroll all of my album covers (>1600) without crash.

LE still crashes, when trying to access photos on my NAS (to be precise: directory with 178 photos@24 MPixel, each jpg around 4 MB)

I'll try to find a spare micro SD...

This was my advancedsettings.xml:

<advancedsettings version="1.0">
  <cache>
    <!--- Settings to improve drop-out behavviour during audio playback -->
    <buffermode>0</buffermode> <!-- perhaps only relevant to video? -->
    <memorysize>60000000</memorysize> <!-- approx. default * 2 -->
  </cache>
  <samba>
    <doscodepage></doscodepage>
    <clienttimeout>10</clienttimeout>
    <statfiles>false</statfiles>
  </samba> 

</advancedsettings>

Removed it, rebooted. Trying to scroll through my albums: crash after entry 76...

Regards,

Oliver

To repeat the already stated facts: meddling with the a.m. values was a result of crashes with the stock configuration - not the other way around. Reverting to original values makes the situation worse, KODI crashes after shorter times/less entries scrolled.

Here is the current journal.log:

Here the altered config.txt:

Quote from Da Flex

If you provide a log, then we could get a proof for bad caching implementation, and Kodi team hopefully reacts:

I think this behaviour has already been documented by other people on the web.

Anyway, while trying to paste the log I noticed that "pastekodi" does not produce any link. "pastekodi -c" does indeed show the crash log incl. segfault. Pasting the logs from the GUI failed, too.

I can't paste KODI.log manually, as it exceeds the size limit of pastebin.com with 3.2 MB

Here's the journal log with the segfault:

Hi,

I'm running LibreELEC 10 on a Raspberry Pi 3 B. When scrolling through a big picture collection (e.g. Album covers in the Music folder), LE hangs and then crashes/reboots.

After some web search I've meddled with the parameters "gpu_mem=192" and "dtoverlay=cma,cma-384" in /flash/config.txt, which seems to improve the situation, but does not solve the issue completely.

As I don't have a clue what I'm doing here: what are the "correct" values?

TIA,

Oliver
