CVideoPlayerAudio::Process - stream stalled

Help and Support Raspberry Pi
1

Hi,

I’m using latest version of OSMC (2021.08-1) on Rpi4 and lately I’ve encountered video freezing while playing movies.
I’m getting “CVideoPlayerAudio::Process - stream stalled” error in log while it happens, whole logs from kodi pasted here:
https://paste.kodi.tv/isenenoyer.kodi

The file is located on my NAS drive, and mounted via autofs with NFS protocol.
I have tried both WiFi and Ethernet connection and both suffered the same.

Interesting thing is that this can happen after 2 minutes, 5 or even 20 from start - no rule here (at least not for me).

Mediainfo of the file is here:

I did not find anything interesting regarding this error on google - so I’m asking here.
Is there anything I can do?
Turning it off and on did not work :smiley:

And one more log from playing another file with its mediainfo:

Best regards.

Little update.
Yesterday same thing happened twice while playing from smb mount.
What I did not report earlier are the kernel messages when video freezes:

Any ideas what’s happening?

We need to see complete logs and config info, not just snippets.

grab-logs -A

Thanks, sure.

Logs available at https://paste.osmc.tv/arovusobut

And today morning I just switched completely to Ethernet (disabled wifi), transfers from my NAS are about 300-400 Mbps (both samba and NFS), and yet it still happens… Few moments ago, at 12:17 - so You can track it in logs…

Best regards.

Try setting Adjust Display Refresh Rate to On Start/Stop.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately it didn’t solve the issue. It might even make it worse, I had to switch to my Rpi2 to actualy watch something.

I include new logs: https://paste.osmc.tv/ijahaxotew
Freezing was happening at: 21:07, 21:11, 21:20…

Also did some iperf between Rpi4 and NAS and I get over 600Mbps (logs: hastebin ) so I think this is not the network thing. Also the Rpi2 played at the time the same video on the same cable/NAS/configuration without problems.
I am realy trying to check everything I can to find out what’s wrong…

Best regards.

any news on this issue?

I’m seeing this on streams from the DR TV addon on my Rpi3 since the November update - nothing before. But all I see in the log is the

CVideoPlayerAudio::Process - stream stalled

which doesn’t give much.
Sadly I can not reproduce, but it comes now and then.

Any ideas where to dig?

Unfortunately no progress at this time.
