CEC Issue

I also occasionally saw the RPi wake up after prolonged freezing, but it crashed within minutes thereafter.

Kodi freezing doesn’t necessarily mean that the whole OS has hung. Can you still log in with SSH when it freezes ? If so you can still upload logs from the command line:

grab-logs -A

The Kodi log is probably only useful if you had debug mode enabled at the time of the freeze however.

There is a way to enable debug mode permanently without the on screen debug info, see here:

http://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml#loglevel

If you do this, make sure “enable component-specific logging” is disabled in Debugging otherwise you can end up with huge log files.

I don’t want to hijack this thread, but I just posted a rather lengthy bug report (in debug mode) that covers the initial freeze bug, followed by what appears to be a long period of inactivity. I created a graph to get an overview of the log’s contents, and it shows that OSMC is doing something, however, and that it eventually manages make an almost full recovery on its own: Frequent random muting, then freezing - #10 by holgerd

Btw, I tried connecting via ssh while the system was frozen, but this time I was unable to get a response. (Once’s success with this might depend on which ‘stage’ of the lock-up you’re experiencing at the time.)

Edit: Forgot to mention that following the freeze, CEC was of course gone, as expected.
