Hi,

I successfully added an addon to kodi yesterday just to find out that it doesnt run on libreelec on my rpi4 (but it does run on kodi flatpak on linux).

"special://" seems not to be available on libreelec/raspi4.

The addon is "Next Gen Peertube Addon" or plugin.video.pt. You can download it on the official kodi repo (I needed to update before I could see it).

Can anyone confirm if the problem is libreelec or the raspberry pi platform? I cant get libreelec to run on x86 hardware atm.

Thanks in advance!

Quote from iron

I'm seeing the same issue (Raspi 4)

It is definitely triggered by the ads in a stream. If I watch a stream that I subscribe to (doesn't have ads) there is no issue.

If I disable 'allow hardware acceleration with DRM PRIME' then the freezes don't happen, but there is a loss in quality. I guess it is something to do with switching to a different video 'mode' when the ads start.

I wonder who developes the hw accelerated codec?

Thanks for mentioning it. I was thinking I'm the only one. Also, the add creator didnt reply to my question. Will try again after I recently updated everything again (which helped with youtube).

Quick Update on my end: I installed LibreELEC nightly from today 8 am my time and set it up for two hours. Still the same problem. here's the brand new log kodi.log.

Thanks for the fast reply! I agree. The question here would only be if it is an LE issue that the whole system freezes since even if kodi needs a restart due to a misbehaving app that should not render the whole OS useless if you catch my drift. So I'll proceed with asking in kodi forums.

Hello community!

I use LibreELEC and Kodi for a couple months now and it is great! I love it so much that I started developing my own plugins for Kodi.

Anyway, the issue why I came to the forum is recently my pi started freezing when watching twitch with the kodi twitch addon. Here are the base facts:

- When watching twitch, it freezes occasionally, mostly on streams that have midroll ads enabled

- It doesnt freeze on other apps, i.e. Youtube

- It doesnt freeze on streams that definitely dont have midroll ads

- when it happens, the stream just stops, the picture stays visible, no sound and my tv remote doesnt work anymore. I tried the mobile app but to no avail

I have seen issues on github but it was unclear to me if it was the same issue I have. Also, I'm not sure if I'm even at the right place since its likely a kodi issue but I figured since the whole system is affected, I'd start asking here.

I added a log which I made with the pastelog function. kodi.log I can read logs but I couldnt really find the issue there. Also the last freeze was late at night so maybe something is with the timezone. Lmk if I need to adjust something and send a new log.

Thank you in advance for reading and have a great day.
