    I have a strange issue with movies disappearing from library on my RPi 3 running LE.

    I've got two RPis at home: RPi B and RPi 3. Same setup for both, same video sources are used. On RPi 3 movies keep disappearing frm library. Refreshing library does not help. What I need to d every time is:

    1. Remove the content type and set it to none

    2. Library is cleaned

    3. Set the content type for a folder again, I use local data only as I scrap everything using my PC

    4. Refresh the library

    Movies are back again, however, some of them are sometimes missing.

    Do you know what might be the issue?

    This is different from the rainbow square which always appears in the center of the screen when (cold?) booting, correct?

    I run my Pi 3 in a Flirc case - the entire case is basically the heatsink as there is a finger molded into the case which thermally couples the FPGA/CPU with the case. Mine typically runs around 40-41 C when idle.

    Could you share the link showing this case?


    Did you get an icon in the top right corner of the screen?
    If not, it's not overheating.

    Ventilation holes and heatsinks does not equal to ventilation. You will need some form of active airflow via a (small) fan.
    Same as with external HDDs overheating in their cases.

    Yes, the icon is there.

    No.
    What is your processor temperature when Pi is idle?
    At what percentage run your processor cores when Pi is idle?
    What are your overclock settings, if any?

    When it's idle it's 45-47C.
    Cpu utilization is about 12-14%.
    It's not overclocked.

    My Pi 3 hanged because of overheating. It happened for the first time. I am on LibreElec 8.0.1. The Pi is located in a case with heatsinks as well as ventilation holes. The temperature around Pi 3 is about 21C.

    As it happened for the first time I don't know how much it is connected to LE.

    Did you experience this?

    I get this messages while trying to play 4K movie on Pi 3. It's encoded with x265.

    Kodi hangs with black screen then it restarts itself and goes back to main screen.
    Any comments?

    There is a strange behavior of Kodi on LE 8.0 on Pi 3 while changing videos. For example, one is playing, where I'd like to start another one. Then the one being played is hanged and after a dozen of seconds Kodi exits to desktop and nothing is played.

    Another thing: sometimes when I try to play something, the only thing I see is the moving circle and nothing happens until I reboot Pi 3.

    Does anyone experience similiar issues?
