Help debug crashing and freezing during video playback - vbsaltydog - 2015-11-24

I have kodi running on Ubuntu 14.04 with 3Gb RAM and an ATI HD 5400 graphics card running the fglrx driver. The system either freezes or kodi crashes during playback of almost all video files. I have reinstalled kodi several times with the purge option and manual deletion of the ~/.kodi directory to no avail.

I have disabled VDPAU and VAAPI separately as well as together and the results are the same.

Here is my debug log of the most recent system freeze during playback. I have enabled debugging, restarted kodi, played the video until the system froze, rebooted without starting kodi, pasted the kodi log.

Thanks for any help with this.

this is your issue. We've said it over and over on this forum: fglrx is crap and NOT supported

I will revert to the Xorg driver. Thanks.

I am using the Xorg driver and Kodi still freezes my system on every video playback.

Here is a debug log from when Kodi locked up while streaming from 1channel.

Kodi is crashing whether playing local video files or streaming videos.

Please advise.

Kodi just crashed, without freezing the system, while playing a local video file and here is the resulting debug log (last 50 lines)

and the crashlog (last 50 lines)

Please advise

What do you see in the link you posted? The same as I do? Nothing?

Maybe remove the Banned addons and try again? 1Channel is a banned addon

Cheers!

Fair enough on 1channel. I also fixed the empty link to the error log that pastebinit failed to send properly. Kodi froze again playing a different local video file. Here is the "tail -n 50" of the debug log.

RE: Help debug crashing and freezing during video playback - vbsaltydog - 2015-11-26

I just tried to play a different local video file and this time the video froze and the audio continued with the following debug error:

00:06:57 T:2654989120 WARNING: CRenderManager::WaitForBuffer - timeout waiting for buffer

I would look toward the hardware but this is the same hardware that ran Frodo on Ubuntu 12 just fine last week so this is a software problem with Isengard on Ubuntu 14.04 for sure.

Please advise.

RE: Help debug crashing and freezing during video playback - vbsaltydog - 2015-11-26

Kodi froze again playing the same local video file as the last error only this time the system froze leaving the audio looping.

I don't look at cut out logfiles - retry

Good for you.

Anyway, for anyone who needs help getting Kodi to run properly on Ubuntu 14.04

See if VDPAU support is installed properly with:

sudo apt-get install vdpauinfo

then run:

vdpauinfo

and see if there are any errors. If you get errors then run:

sudo apt-get install mesa-vdpau-drivers-lts-trusty

If your video card has VDPAU support then hardware acceleration will work now and Kodi should run much smoother.
