Hi

It’s hard to tell the issue with partial logs. Please try checking for updates again and make sure your device is fully up to date.

If the issue persists please provide some full logs via My OSMC.

Sam

Cheers Sam

Do I need to turn logs on? And can it not show all data on screen

There’s been no further updates to system just checked

To get a better understanding of the problem you are experiencing we need more information from you. The best way to get this information is for you to upload logs that demonstrate your problem. You can learn more about how to submit a useful support request here.

Depending on the used skin you have to set the settings-level to standard or higher, in summary:

  • enable debug logging at settings->system->logging

  • reboot the OSMC device twice(!)

  • reproduce the issue

  • upload the log set (all configs and logs!) either using the Log Uploader method within the My OSMC menu in the GUI or the ssh method invoking command grab-logs -A

  • publish the provided URL from the log set upload, here

Thanks for your understanding. We hope that we can help you get up and running again shortly.

cheers I know how to do that, but when I enable this, top left shows

Log output file
Mem usage
CPU usage

this is fine when the issue can be replicated straight away, this could be 24hrs later and dont want to watch tv with them in corner all time

Then put <loglevel>1</loglevel> into .kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

Changed this in log went to reboot and system locked up
