Sad face loop on first boot (FS fresh from image) - I ran into the same problem with a Pi 3A+ which only has 512K RAM. All the Pi Zero’s also have 512MB RAM, so I would assume that the latest OSMC releases cannot run on those either. Perhaps this needs to made clear on the Disk Images section of the Downloads page, which currently shows all models for all releases?
They should run new releases fine. This was fixed in the newest image.
This is explicitly covered in the release notes
We only support Pi Zero 2 now, not the original.
Unfortunately I am stuck with the 2021.08-1 version because of the Kodi issue which eventually causes a system crash when the slideshow has both photos and videos!
The change was made to config.txt, so you could move such changes over.
Even in the latest versions, the config.txt has the following, so how will it get set to 256 for the Pi 3A+? Doesn’t it need a separate board type entry?
[pi4]
dtoverlay=rpivid-v4l2
[board-type=0x0e]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-256
[all]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-512
[pi02]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-256
0x0e is the Pi 3 A+ board entry.
Have you actually tested it?
Yes, sad face unless I change the 512 to 256 for the [all].
[all]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-512
The information from cpuinfo is as follows, if that is of any interest.
Hardware : BCM2835
Revision : 9020e0
Serial : 0000000070e51c2a
Model : Raspberry Pi 3 Model A Plus Rev 1.0
Somewhat unrelated to the main topic, but would a Pi 4 (2GB RAM) show higher load numbers and operate at a higher temperature as compared to the Pi 3A+? Both are setup for a continuous slide show, except that the Pi 4 setup has pictures and videos, and therefore on the 2021.08-01 version with Kodi 19.1, while the Pi 3A+ setup only has pictures, and on the latest 2022.03-01 version.

As the Pi4 would use the CPU to decode the videos it for sure would run higher load.
Can you try changing the ordering in the config.txt so it looks like this:
[all]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-512
[pi4]
dtoverlay=rpivid-v4l2
[board-type=0x0e]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-256
[pi02]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-256
That works. So the setting for [all] was overwriting the setting for [board-type=0x0e] earlier because of the sequence in the file.
BTW, I did reconfirm that even with this 2022.03-1 release, the 5GHz SSID does not show up, the channel is greater than 100.
Thanks. I’ve fixed this in:
It will be in the next update.
I know what the issue is. We had it with Vero 4K/4K+ and it was fixed recently.
It will take some time to fix with Pi.
Hi,
Just to let you know that things weren’t forgotten.
This was fixed in the September update.
Still looking at this.
Cheers
Sam
Thanks a lot, I will upgrade to the latest release. Question about Playling Playlist dies after about 7 minutes - possible memory leak? - any update on this, as I am stuck with the 2021-08 release for playlists with photos and videos?
I’d suggest trying a newer version of OSMC.
The new release might have solved the other issue of crashing the slideshow when playing playlists with photos and videos together, I don’t see the processor load values gradually increasing over time. It is always good to be able to keep up with the releases and not be forced to use an older release. Keeping my fingers crossed!
