Letās swap the unit over and see if that helps with things. The device shouldnāt be freezing up during standard operation.
Send an email to sales@osmc.tv with order # and link to this thread and I will get it sorted. Worst case it doesnāt fix anything, best it does.

Is there a way to resolve this from OSMC? Iām currently running into issues when using WiFi for movies with high bit-rates. Iāve got a Mad Max 4K HDR that peaks at over 100Mbps and it freezes for a few seconds at the very beginning. Sometimes it will recover and start loading. Other times it will just hang. Iām able to exit by stopping the movie most times, but the loading is bad enough to make those movies unwatchable.
This issue is not present with a wired connection. Unfortunately, I donāt have a wired connection where my media center is located. Is there a way to control how much buffer is used for a wireless connection?
Hi,
Sounds like your issue may be different to the original poster. So can you please create a new topic with logs and specify which platform you are running osmc on (vero5, vero4k/4k or pi)?
Regards Tom.
I also happened to notice I was getting that āAMLInsecureVideoCodec::addData: packet too big:ā error message when playing a local file. Doesnāt freeze kodi though and seems to play just fine.
If playback is fine thatās not an issue. The decoder has a buffer and we will manage its size. You will see some of these messages if you pause a video and thatās absolutely normal.
Just to clarify: that āpacket too bigā message isnāt an error at all. That message and its error level is just completely wrong. Iām already reworking that code and that message will go. The reason for that message is, that it should tell us that the decoder input queue is full. Thatās it. That happens easily if you pause playback, because in the background Kodi continues to feed the decoder with packets, and it could also happen if there are a couple of really large packets put into the queue. In neither cases that is an error, it is just a kind of āinfoā message.
