I’ve had crashes for a while now, they seem completely random.
Today I moved the Vero 4k out in open for ventilation and reformatted the device but within 20 minutes it showed a quick black screen with some white lines on top very quickly and it said something 'thermal…" but could read the rest of it before the red light came on.
Just checked the temperature and it says : 90 degrees celcius, I uses Mimic as well.
Today I reformatted everything before this to make sure the addons weren’t the cause but like I said : clean install from usb and then the mimic skin and boom 20 minutes later red light of death while in the menus not watching anything. I think I unplugged the Vero about 20 times this week to reset it after the red light came on.
So I’m following this tread so look for a solution. It’s about 25 degrees inside I think bu t nothing to warm
As I said, last night it shutdown, I powercycled it, didn’t even view it, just connected via SSH to read the temps:
Temp: 109c
Cpu goes from 1512 to 667 and back.
This is from reboot, nothing done.
My setup is, as stated before:
OSMC latest stable build
PKC (PMS running on NUC in LAN, files on HDD’s attached to the router)
Mimic skin (4k GUI), Movie and TV Shows have “On Deck” widget as home
Will have to try the OSMC skin to see if it changes anything. And Mimic with 1080p GUI. I’ll post the results.
@santeri.m.t.niemi If the temperature of the Vero is still above 70-80°C when assumed to be idle, could you run the following command via ssh and provide the returning URL, so we can see whether and what process is burning CPU?
sudo top -bH -d 10.0 -n 6|paste-log
(it runs 6 iterations of 10 seconds samples, so last around a minute before it comes back with the URL)
@santeri.m.t.niemi Yes, if you’re using a putty window and makes it too small, the COLUMN environment variable will be also too small but top respects it.
just watched something for about 30 minutes, checked the temperature in the settings/hardware and was 92 degrees, 2 minutes later when in the menus it crashes while showing the black background with white letters for a couple of seconds and it said : reached 118 degrees or something and then it shut down. With Mimic still at the moment. I will also change the skin to the basic one to see if it still happens. Thanks for the follow up
