Random restarts while streaming with IPTV PVR simple client

Help and Support
1

Hallo,
I’ve installed Alpha4 and added PVR IPTV simple client to it. but while streaming I got frequent random reboots.The issue seems to me more frequent with HD channels:

Setup
Alpha 4
raspberry Pi 2
PVR IPTV simple client installed
Noticed while streaming HD channel with h264 encoding @ 3Mbps data rate

I’m available to take debug logs and dumps if needed.

Update to RC1 (needs full reinstall) then report back if you still have problems

ok thanks. I will do it this evening and report back if this issue is still present

i can confirm random restarts also with RC. when it happens the sad face on blu screen is displayed till the system gets up again.

Do you have a URL I can access that causes the crash?

yes.
I’ve configured PVR IPTV simple client to use the following link xbmcmxtv.com to install TV channels…
after the channels are installed browsing among channels it causes the OSMC to crash. I think it is OSMC crash (and not a board crash) because some services restart while the blue screen with the sad face is displayed … I don’t see a real reboot.

If you see the sad face screen the kodi executable has crashed, not the whole system.

The kodi watchdog script automatically restarts kodi after 10 seconds when this happens. (Without rebooting)

Should I do something, take logs or dumps to help debugging?

I have the same issue as you describe, sometimes HD channels cause the OSMC to fall and to restart.
