Hi,

I have tested, yes it works. Thank you

Thanks for the info, I could now reproduce the issue and we'll look into getting that fixed.
EGL rendering is the culprit, that causes a huge memory leak and when all memory is used up the system comes to a crawl - until eventually the OOM killer kicks in and restarts kodi (that could take a couple of minutes).
In general I strongly recommend to stick to the default Direct-to-plane rendering method as that has a lot higher performance than EGL (and also supports 10bit / HDR output).
so long,

Hi,
It's great that you were able to reproduce the problem. This will help me try to find a solution.
I'll follow your advice and use the "Direct" rendering method. I don't know why I enabled EGL mode. I've been using Libreelec for a long time, and I don't remember ever playing with this option.

Here's a pastebin of a log I just created, while playing the video: FPS_test_1080p50_L4.2.mkv (link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwxFVk…pBHyp7fYNMHGyjQ ) reading DRM_PRIME but setting the rendering method to "DIRECT"

Hello,

So, Hyperion and DRM-Capture weren't installed on the PI. Since I had restored Libreelec, it was just the services that tried to launch.
I disabled both services, but it still crashes.
So I just did a fresh install directly in 12.2 on another USB drive, then copied the videos to the folder in /storage. The only setting I re-enabled was EGL in the rendering method for DRM_PRIME, and it crashed. However, in "DIRECT" mode, it works, but the FPS performance is lower.

I tested with official kodi video :

-FPS_test_1080p23.976_L4.1.mkv

-FPS_test_1080p50_L4.2.mkv

system crash at ~1'20"

Hello,
I think the problem occurs with all H264 videos.
But I downloaded a free video from the internet. Here's the link: https://lafibre.info/videos/test/20…p_h264-main.mp4

I can confirm that the video is causing my rpi4 to crash with the DRM_PRIME option enabled.

I'm uploading the full video log with the DRM_PRIME option disabled.

Hi, I have the exact same problem. I upgraded my rpi4 from version 12.0.2 to version 12.2.
And since then, I've been having issues with complete freezing after a few minutes on h264 videos. However, h265 codec videos play.
Here are some screenshots of h264 videos that are crashing.

The problem is that the kodi.log file isn't complete, since you have to power cycle the rpi4.
And as DeerHunter says, by disabling "DRM PRIME," h264 videos play without crashing.
