Hi, complete newbie here, got osmc installed and I’m trying to set it up as a home media center, on a raspberry pi 4 connected to the television. However, when I start playing a movie, the video will freeze about 5 seconds after starting the movie. Similar behavior happened earlier today with a streaming app.

here’s a log: https://paste.osmc.tv/uqimupiceb

Have you tried without changing kms to fkms?

[board-type=0x0e]
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d,cma-256

[all]
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d,cma-512
disable_overscan=1
start_x=1
disable_splash=1
disable_fw_kms_setup=1
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
include config-user.txt

There were other issues, I’ve ended up starting from scratch & freshly reinstalling the osmc image. Atm no more issues.

thank god for a brute force approach

I’m having similar issues with online streaming content. OSMC freezes ~5 seconds after starting to play.

The problem is this “fake KMS” mode, fkms. In my case I need it for Steam Link to work however.
