Red Cross

I am getting a red cross every other day. I have the latest firmware installed and really have no idea why it is happening. This is week 2 of the red cross.

I’ve had the vero 4k for about a year.

Thanks

When you see the red cross is the Vero still reachable on your network (Ping or SSH)?

destination host unreachable.

Could be an overheating issue or a power supply issue.
If it happens quite regular as a first step I would open a SSH session from another device and watch the temperature till the red led goes on with watch cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp

It could also be a CEC setting to shut down the device.

True, didn’t had that in mind.

@edworld1 please upload logs either via MyOSMC/Log Uploader or via ssh grab-logs -A and share the URL.

Ok, could be a heat issue. So suggest to do the SSH approach to monitor the temperature as I suggested above

I used putty and I see 61000 and 62000. Is this value 62F?

Centigrade

Thats 61/62c that is totally fine. So you also saw that when it crashed?
Otherwise keep that window open till it crashes to see if temp goes above 110c

Crashed at 117C

That’s when we engage thermal shutdown.

What skin are you using?

osmc when I did the testing.

I should add that I started monitoring 5 hours ago and crashed about an hour ago. I am playing a movie right now and it is at 66F.

Is there a particular condition where it crashes/heats up; Idle, playing a particular type of media, ???

It crashes when it is idle, I have not experienced any crashes playing a movie.

This part of the log seems strange:

A library scan starts at 18:40:36. At 18:40:39 has a warning accessing a directory. And then at 08:21:47 the same warning. The scan never was logged as being finished, until 08:22:15. It looks to me like something is starting a library scan while a scan is already running?

The other thing that happens around the same time is:

You might try with a fresh .kodi directory to rule out any addon/configuration issues.

If you turned on debug logging and let it idle that may give a clue as to what happening during idle.

Is this the same debug logging that I pasted earlier or do I need to change something in Kodi to create new log?

That was from the log you posted yesterday.

Do what @darwindesign suggested and leave debug logging on until the overheat happens again.
