Video fails to play, "failed to allocate memory on videocore" on Rpi 2 with OSMC Kodi Krypton

Hi,

I have an Rpi2 with the last OSMC release (Kodi Krypton).
Tried to play a video and nothing happens, then a blue screen with a sad face is displayed.

Looking at the logs, only the following information is displayed:

[  941.833964] [vc_sm_ioctl_alloc]: failed to allocate memory on videocore (status: 0, trans_id: 1)
[  941.833992] [vc_sm_ioctl_alloc]: failed to allocate "mmal_vc_port buffer" data (-12) - type 1, base 1048576 (1048576), num 1, alignment 4096
[  941.861248] [vc_sm_ioctl_alloc]: failed to allocate memory on videocore (status: 0, trans_id: 2)
[  941.861285] [vc_sm_ioctl_alloc]: failed to allocate "CGPUMEM" data (-12) - type 1, base 1290240 (1290240), num 1, alignment 4096

Any idea what this could be? I don’t remember it happening in previous OSMC releases.

Thanks.

We need complete logs please. Not snippets.
