Instability

Hi,

I am sorry to say that stability of OSMC versions is declining over time on my RPi3. The music player freezes Kodi randomly; I tried the suggested solution adding buffers in advancedsettings.xml which seemed to work at first, but no. And lately when I start remote control (Chorus) from my PC while OSMC is playing, the system crashes.
Not a bug but a (new) feature: when I restart a movie from a point where I stopped it, it takes some time for the sound to keep up with the video, keeping silent for a while. Never had that in the past.
I sometimes long to the time it was still XBMC and without these kind of hick-ups.
Sorry for complaining, I know it’s not very helpful. Just had to get it off my chest after another crash and reboot.

Keep up the good work! :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Fred.

True, not without debug logs.

It sounds like your power supply is failing and may need replacing.

Without logs though, it’s anyone’s guess as to what your issue is.

The hang-ups only occur when playing music; the player continues though, but controls are dead. I think that rules out the power supply.
No debug log yet, but I found this in the kodi log, may be an indiaction:

Already googled it, seems to occur with other people to. Have not found a solution.
So, no debug log yet. Will work on that.

Cheers!
Fred.
