Running OSMC on Raspberry. Updated to latest OSMC. I have files on a powered, usb-drive. When I try to play the files (which I made with handbrake myself from DVD’s) they do not play anymore. OSMC gets stuck at the “wait-for-it” symbol which will keep on showing without anything else happening. These files used to play well, without a problem, before.
I share the libraries in which these files reside through UPNP. And I can play the self same files over the network on a Vero4k without problems.
I’ve put up logs here: https://paste.osmc.tv/ujugucewag (this was after waiting for 5 minutes for a file to be opened, which it never did).
The only way I found as a way out of this situation is to reboot the system through:
sudo systemctl stop/start mediacenter
Additionally: playing files from the Dutch iplayer does not work either anymore at the moment. Same symptoms: after selecting a file the “wait-for-it” symbol, but nothing else. Only way out also: sudo systemctl stop/start mediacenter.
The logs for this situation can be found here: https://paste.osmc.tv/ojequtizaz
Music files on the same usb-drive do play on the Pi.
Any advice?
If there is any more information I can provide, please let me know.
Thank you.
Then that is something I have not knowingly done. Wouldn’t know how.
If it’s unrelated to the problem above I suggest to leave this for now, unless you think under clocking is the cause of the problem.
Just a ‘hunch’, but if you installed OSMC with (an older) NOOBS i’d guess it created a config.txt for Pi1 regardless of what Pi you have. However I don’t know if you used NOOBS.

@El_Grincho, thanks for the suggestion. Not sure whether I used NOOBS for this one. But I think I tend to agree with @ActionA’s assumption. Also: this setup has been playing these files without problems before. I think that rules out Noobs as a source?
@El_Grincho Thanks. I adjusted the clock-speed before uploading the last logs; I hoped that this would clear the logs up enough to see what’s going on. But if there is nothing in there, I’ll have to do a clean install.
I already tried to install osmc on a fresh sd card - could not get osmc-install to work on a xubuntu 18.04 machine though. So, I can’t yet report if a new install solves the problem.
Not sure what I can do now. I’ll have to have a think for a bit.
There was an issue with ubuntu 17.10 that may have sneaked into 18.04, where it installs but doesn’t get added to to the apps menu.
you can still run from the command line, if that isn’t is the case and it hasn’t installed; you could try installing manually from the command line. Details can be found here:
