Strange as i run the updater this afternoon and it found something to update, i had to choose install it. It seems the buster repository was updated yesterday in the early morning. which needed for a restart after installation and i performed a reboot. I already did a warm and cold reboot, both stayed the same with this movie. I’ll watch some another movies to see if it repeated.
I had the same update appear, reboot the machine into update mode, and then reboot again into osmc… seeing the same random video issues (hanging picture with sound continuing, occasional green frames; reboot fixes it until it doesn’t).
No osmc updates are shown as available… this 100% started happening after the ‘phantom update’ that got triggered Sunday night.
The playback seemed to have two different ‘states’… it would glitch out / not decode blocks of the video frame and present green artifacts randomly; those showed as spurts in the debug log (I was tailing). When the video ultimately froze, nothing showed up in the log for a while, and then the ‘stillframe detected’ showed up. I eventually stopped playback when it became apparent there’d be no recovery.
Run the following command to add the staging repository: echo 'deb http://apt.osmc.tv buster-devel main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list
Run the following commands to update: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
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.
I’d also recommend you 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.
Awesome! I’ve updated with the devel channel and I’m re-playing the same movie; So far nary an issue to be found. Thanks for the quick response (although now I’m wishing I hadn’t chosen such a high-concept movie to test against…)!
This movie was not a HEVC file and before I yesterday performed the release update (previous update was the 2021.11.2 update end of November), i didn’t saw those hanging parts in movies.
Hope this will give any idea where to look.
Now i’m on the test-release version, which also updated many parts…
I had a similar picture, but blue instead of green, with a bar at the top, as it would shown the sad-face, but now without the sad-face. Unfortunately this was before i could grab it into the logging.
I have three Vero units, of them one I have not allowed the pushed update to install. On the non updated unit, I can confirm playback is normal on my test movie, whereas on the two other (updated) units it has the described issues.
playing your sample give the same output here. First it starts but doesn’t display, then is switches to black, picture comes up and stuttering a lot and then it got flashing green.
