then unhappy face and restart, then the file will play

Impossible to tell without a full log. Can you always reproduce it with this recording?

no, unhappy face , osmc restarted media center, works first time

It seems its when the box has been idle for a while, then i get home and first time it does it

when I say first time though its not every day, might be once a week

I can add logging into config file. itll work fine all day etc , going between tvh, and other files

No need. We have checked this and it’s already been fixed, but hasn’t been released as a stable update yet.

I can give some update instructions if you’d like to try the changes now

yeah if you could please

Hi

Hopefully the issue is now addressed with the following commit:

I’d appreciate it if you could test this and provide feedback before we potentially release this as an update to other users. To test this update:

  1. Login via the command line
  2. Run the following command to add the staging repository:
    echo 'deb http://apt.osmc.tv bullseye-devel main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list
  3. Run the following commands to update: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
  4. Your system should have have received the update.

Please see if the issue is resolved.

I also recommend you remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list after updating.

This will deactivate the staging repository. You can do so with the following command:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list.

Please note that we will automatically disable this update channel after 14 days on your device in case you forget to do so to ensure that your system reverts to the stable update channel.

I’ve had the same problem, which I assumed was a power-supply issue until I spotted this thread. Kodi would crash about 10% of the time when starting to play a recording if the HDD was spun-down, with an error message in journalctl Undefined symbol audio_decode_stop in /usr/osmc/lib/libamcodec.so.

I’ve updated the system (Vero 4k+) from the osmc-devel repo and so far at least it seems to have resolved the issue.

Since this and sorting out other issues, I havent had a crash since

My TVHeadend records to a SSD on a NFS share, so duno where the issue was, but its defiently fixed

Indeed, this issue should be solved in today’s update.
