[PROBLEM] Kodi hangs randomly while on playback

[guillaumesoucy]

Hello,

Why Kodi (running from RPI3b) hangs randomly while playing back video contents using FTP on local servers? What I can see when this happen is the screen just become grey or multi-colours with often some pixels then, the playback stops. If I'm fast enough I could press stop using the wireless remote control but the most of the time I need to pull out the plug from the wall and re-plugin it back into the wall socket and waiting for the reboot complete.

Theses are the links to the logs (it was too long to be able fit in a single shot.):

I did some testing:

From SD card, there no issues. Played from another machine running Linux Mint with Kodi (Intel based) no issues as well using the same FTP server as source.

This what happen on the screen when it get stuck:

The playback froze:



Then I press "OK" key:


Then I attempt to stop the playback:


When the Kodi GUI froze but SSH logins to the machine still work, the machine seem not freezing, only Kodi GUI.

It also often lead to this kind of patterns displayed through the Pi HDMI output:


Sometime its gray such as right now, but it can also be green, sometime purple.
May I please know how to stop this issue to happening?

I'm using the latest version of Kodi (18.4) and also I did the update to Debian Buster.

Thank-you.
