According to uname I have “vero 4.1.12-11-osmc”, but recently I did upgrade to the December release of OSMC. Using either local pictures, SMB or DLNA, if I start a slideshow, the first picture is fine, then the screen goes blank, followed by an involuntary reboot. Other things of note are that I’m running a different skin (not the OSMC default) and that the slideshow is on random, not sequential. I’ve done a MyOSMC log upload in case that helps: http://paste.osmc.io/awisobazis Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Cheers,
Jamie
Hi
Can you try changing to a different directory, say with 5 photos that definitely open on your computer and see if that works?
Sam
Hi Sam,
I put 5 photos, which definitely open on my computer, onto the local Vero storage. The same happened, but after 4 photos of the slideshow this time. Logs are here: http://paste.osmc.io/iziyayuruf
Thanks,
James
Additional info: I just tried AppleTV, same build of OSMC, and it worked with both the original and smaller (x5) set of photos. However, AppleTV does not seem to adhere to the settings I have set (i.e. randomise, 3 second duration), it just uses the defaults. The AppleTV is using the default OSMC skin.
Cheers,
Jamie
Hi Jamie
Not sure, but this is twice I have seen this error:

It may be caused by an addon. I would see if you can remove that issue first.
Sam
Thanks Sam. Inexperienced in trawling the logs, you’ve probably pin-pointed the issue. My skin (Mimic) requires the Script Toolbox addon which seems to be causing the issue. The AppleTV works fine, and this does not have either Mimic or Script Toolbox installed. I think I’ll have to chase the Script Toolbox devs for this one, thanks for the help! If I get an outcome I’ll post back.
Cheers,
Jamie
The Mimic dev advised to remove the dependency on Script Toolbox in the addon.xml, then un-install Script Toolbox. I’ve done this, and still get crashing. Latest logs are linked below. Shall I just re-build the Vero with a fresh SD card install, or can this be brought back to life?
Thanks,
Jamie

Hi Jamie
I am not sure. For now, can you switch to Confluence, try a slideshow and see if you still get this problem? It may help to disable Script Toolbox after you switch skins temporarily
Sam
Hi Sam,
I switched to Confluence and OSMC skins and it was no different. I can’t disable Script Toolbox as I have already un-installed it 
Cheers,
Jamie
Here’s my logs too, for cross referencing. http://paste.osmc.io/supazunewe
The LazyTV addon Monitor gets pinged a huge number of times. Might be a clue.
Different problem, or not related to the crash, as I don’t have those logs, because I haven’t got that service installed.
