Hi guys,

Unfortunately, I'm back 😞

Although it seemed to work for a while with the other USB port, I am back to the original problem, it seems. After some occurrences late in up-time (i.e. super long log file), I post one on pastebin, I which session the issue came up quite fast - while playing Nick Cave (a bad seed indeed).

As you suggested Da Flex I had changed the settings for the log and posted a full log here:

Is there anything that makes sense to you?

Again, any thoughts are much appreciated!

Best,

RC

thanks but unfortunately no - the two USB 3.0 ports of the RPi4 do not work with the SSD (although it has a USB 3.0 port itself), but I moved from one USB 2.0 to just the other USB 2.0. port. So it is a difference between the two USB 2.0 ports... I know, super weird.

Hi guys,

just a quick update after a little over a week: I am surprised (but also a bit glad), that -- until now that is -- the change of the USB port on the RPi4 appears to be the solution. At least the glitches/stops did not occur until then.

I am not sure about the forum rules about cussing, but what the flying f***?!? How can that be?

I'll post a log, if this occurs again - until then, thanks again so much Niceguy and Da Flex for the cosiderate help!
Cheers,
RC

Great, thanks again!

Just as an interlude: Right now, the USB port change actually seems to work (wtf?!), but I don't really trust it.

I created the advancedsettings.xml here /storage/.kodi/userdata/ as noted in another post of you Da Flex , but also found an advancedsettings.xml with different content here /usr/share/kodi/system , where I actually first tried to include the loglevel command but I am unable to write/replace said file

I'll have the log running then with the new advancedsettings.xml (I guess?), when trying to upload through SSH, pastekodi does not work right now apparently, as ix.io replies "taking a break" (will try again later, then). My Kodi/LE does not offer the Paste system logs function...

Keep you posted and again, Thanks so much!

Hi guys,

thank you so much!

Niceguy The SSD is indeed connected through USB with the RPi4 and also gets its power from it. I ran the Mac version of chkdsk with the SSD: all looks fine. I thought about to much stress for the RPi and checked vcgencmd get_throttled but this gives just the regular 0x0.

I changed the USB port on the RPi now, let's see if this helps (that would be weird and awesome at the same time ).

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?

I hadn't changed the LE version because all went well for a long time and the issue suddenly appeared sort of. As you mentioned the newer LE version: Has this been a known issue on LE? Then, I'd need a day off for updateing LE and Kodi and everythin (noob alert)

Again, your answers are much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi all,

it started a couple of months ago with a short freeze of playback but got worse and worse over the last weeks/days. Music stops for a couple seconds up to a minute and then continues. Looks like Kodi freezes but nothing is (visually) happening but CPU temperature increases by a couple of °C. I play flac/mp3 from an external SSD connected to the RPi4.

And I cannot find out why this happens. Before that (whatever that is) it did work just perfectly.

You can see a bin-ed debug log here.

Because it's about music playback I included component specific logging (Audio component and audio/video timing), maybe that helps.

Any ideas? Thanks so much in advance!

Best,

RC
