Tonight I wanted to start some music, i played an album of alicia keys. After selecting the 1st song and pressed OK button to start, music starts to play, but a non circling circle came up, skin didn’t response at all, music continues. Ssh was possible and i had to reboot to get back into my vero 4k+.
I thought maybe this was fixed into the december release, but after installed that one, it stays the same result, music plays, screen hangs.
that for sure looks like such a problem, i’ll look into it.
All my movies comes from the same NFS NAS and they don’t show this.
I did copy a file from nas to local and then it played.
I selected a file from nas and it played🙃
I did notice that i had selected a direct nfs connection to my nas, while all the others went via the auto-fs connection. So i add music as well, cleaned the library and rebooted.
Selected the first file from nas and it hanged immediately.
Rebooted
Select file from vero and it hangs
I cleaned nas library for music
Rebooted
Selected the local file 01.mp3 from home/osmc/Music (which i gave library name of Muh)
It hangs while playing
I do understand but now it’s playing an local file. Is there something then to exclude network issues? Now still playing a movie from the same Nas, without any interruptions or freezes.
It sure does, just watched a 2 hour movie without any interruptions.
Now play the same local mp3 and it immediately freezes, while music plays until the end of the song and nothing happens…
But after that i re-added home mount and then that same file played at once. Stopped it and selected a file from nas library and that played as well…. I can’t understand why it is not consistent in failing or playing….
After reboot playing the file from home mount, again freeze….
Did it again after debug logging enabled, same results
i did notice some others with freeze occurrences. Not sure if those commands can be used in my case of freezing while playing music (music keeps on playing, but skin frozen and only reboot via SSH can be performed.
i did test with stop and start which worked ok, didn’t test with restart, will try.
I was not sure if the journal logging also needed the extra logging, so i’ll add it and do the test again.
thanks
edit:
Here is the grab-logs -A output with all the logging enabled, after it occurred twice with restart mediacenter in between (which recovered skin). First played file from local (MUH), second played from NAS (different file) both froze skin.
So if I understand correctly, playback from a local source is OK, but playback over NFS is not.
I’ve seen issues playing some files over the network before when buffer sizes are small (particularly WMA files); but not MP3.
Does this only occur with the OSMC skin?
The scraping in the background causes a lot of log spam and it’s hard to follow the logs. It might also be the cause of the problem. Can you disable it temporarily?
I’m sorry, it’s a bit different. It plays from local only after the first creation, then even NFS will do . Then after reboot/restart they both won’t work anymore, until i recreate a new local source again…
I’m not using the OSCM skin right now, but the estuary skin.
I’ll search for the background scanning to disable it temporarily.
#edit
I disabled background scanning, didn’t made a difference (if you mean “disable update library on startup”)
I removed local source, and tried to play NFS file, direct hang.
I changed skin to OSMC and let it build up, as you triggered me here, trying to change skin if that would solve the issue.
I moved to Music (still the nfs source) and played same file, keeps on playing without freeze.
I rebooted vero
I moved to Music and played same file, keeps on playing without freeze.
I changed skin to estuary
I moved to Music and played same file, freeze direct.
I changed skin to OSMC
I moved to Music and played same file, keeps on playing without freeze from nfs.
OK or play gives the same result.
. Then after reboot/restart they both won’t work anymore, until i recreate a new local source again…
