Kodi hangs randomly while on playback
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.): https://paste.kodi.tv/ulazaguwec.kodi https://paste.kodi.tv/ilukevuleb.kodi 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. Guillaume |

RE: Kodi hangs randomly while on playback
Not sure that this is the reason, but it seems, that
1) You get IP address via DHCP and 2) Interface is reconfigured while playing vid 3) FTP connection has been closed due to 2) 4) Kodi starts with throwing error after local buffer is empty, no wonder because ftp connection has been canceled Code: 2019-11-19 00:38:13.131 T:2724197104 DEBUG: <Event dir=False mask=0x100 maskname=IN_CREATE name=dhclient.wlan0.pid path=/run pathname=/run/dhclient.wlan0.pid wd=2 > So, first I would try to configure static network address and try again |

Good morn,
It just fail again but this time from another Raspberry PI 3b+ installation (just set in service now), is adding an "keep alive setting" from advancedsettings.xml config file could help? Guillaume |

RE: Kodi hangs randomly while on playback
I've just allow external access through FTP for testing purposes and it fail even from the outside. According to the 2nd post, it do look happening when the local buffer get empty. So, if we start back from there, what things I can changes in the Kodi (Xbian) settings to get it works right? If there as networking issue, nothing would work in the place, everything works just fine here except the two Xbian RaspberryPi installs.
Regards, Guillaume |

RE: Kodi hangs randomly while on playback
The issue appears to be caused by a virus that is installed on the local server. The virus is believed to be causing the issue, and it is recommended that you remove it before continuing to use the server. mapquest directions
