I’ve been experiencing some permanent freezes on my vero 4k+ while trying to play some media from my external USB HDD. The freeze isn’t instant the moment I try to open the video nor does it always occur at the same timestamp, but It more than not, it does occur. I think higher resolution content triggers this more.
I probed around in dmesg and saw these errors coincide with the freezes.

I tried to stream the file over the network to my laptop and same problem. Already checked the disk with fsck and it didn’t log any errors.
Furthermore, I can continue to ssh into the vero but any action that interacts with the HDD freezes that shell (E.g. df, ls /media/data). Can’t even shutdown the vero gracefully as it just hangs in the shutdown log waiting for ever.
I bring this to the OSMC forum instead of ruling this as a HDD hardware failure because If I connect the same HDD to my old pi3, I can play the file locally and over the network without running into the issue.
I have a powered hub laying around, gonna try that.
Also, could the vero temperature affect this? Been trying to reproduce the error to get the logs with my closet drawer opened, once I closed It triggered it (about 65ºC by cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp)
You have same problem with me. I’m gonna use Y cable once it delivers.
Plus, my vero 4k’s temperature is going up to 107C when I do encoding my media. But it’s still okay so don’t worry.
107C is getting close to the dangerous range. Exactly how are you encoding your media as that should not be putting much load on the Vero unless you are using the Vero to do the encoding.
