OSMC Freezes When Waking Up (after Suspend)

Hello my dear community,

I’m faced with a strange problem. OSMC GUI freezes right after I wake it up. The following are the applied settings for “Power Saving”:

  • Shutdown function timer: 30 min.
  • Shutdown function: Suspend

The only thing I can do (because I don’t want to unplug the Vero) as a temporary fix, it’s to SSH into OSMC and issue the command sudo systemctl restart mediacenter to restart the GUI.

So, any suggestion for a more clever trick would be very much appreciated.

And, now, the piece of resistance, a little pic to demonstrate my report. As you can see below, nothing else appears but the time. Remote control does nothing (and hence I’m stuck with this “BSOD”)

Freeze


Finally, I’d like to thank the very friendly community for sharing all their trips and tricks; it’s been incredibly useful to me.


Well debug enabled logs might help us to help you.

OK, I just activated debugging. I’ll get back later with the results. Thanks.

So I have removed the add-on Picture Screensaver Slideshow.
