OK first build fails after a while of playing then returning to the menus exactly the same symptoms as before. I am running it again now with debug on and will post logs. Suffice to say this build does not work.
Will run next build after this one fails and logs uploaded.
I ran into all of these issues too, but unfortunately too busy to help out at the moment
Thanks @sparticle, @sam_nazarko and everyone else for testing this and figuring it out!
HI Sam there are have been no changes to anything in /boot/config.txt between testing versions. The last test version worked perfectly with none of the issues.
I have increased gpu allocation to 200 and am running again. This build as previously stated worked perfectly with none of the problematic issues and gpu set at 144 as per standard installation guidelines.
Very simple.
Stop mediacenter
Download new deb and install
reboot twice
leave it a few minutes to do its startup stuff - look for updates etc.
browse to TV shows and pick a banner and play (I try to choose a different one each time)
Go back after a while and stop playing episode
Unless frozen navigate around a bit and check banners/thumbnails are all good and we have sound
Play another TV show and go round this loop for a day or so
If there is a problem grab logs. Rinse and repeat
(speaking quietly so Sam doesnât hear)
Another useful experiment would be to try LibreELEC 7.0.1.
That uses the same backports branch, so should contain the same issue,
but I havenât seen any similar reports.
Possibly that is just due to LibreELECâs smaller user base,
but if it doesnât have an issue then it may suggest something else going on
(e.g. compiler flags or some configuration in the build).
