Hi Milhouse,

With the latest build, when I scan a new TV episode into the database using TheTVDb, I see the following appended to the episode name:

","filename":"

I checked for an update to the scraper, and there isn't anything.

Scraper now updated, and problem resolved.

You should post a crash log.

Incase anyone else has issues installing Netflix:

During the installation of Netflix on an rpi4, Kodi would consistently crash and reset during the download of Android image which is used to collect libwidevine.

The issue stopped after upgrading Updating Bootloader (SPI) and USB3 (VL805) firmware for the rpi4. I did not realize the significance of upgrading them but it is critical if you want Netflix to install.

You should post a crash log. 

Here are some examples:
https://pastebin.com/raw/VCKgHCaD
https://pastebin.com/raw/xrmsBrt9
https://pastebin.com/raw/RgHGA8i9

But please remember, I no longer have this issue after updating.

[Milhouse]

Kodi on RPi4 in these test builds always crashes on shutdown with exactly those call stacks - it's a problem in the gbm functionality which prevents a clean shutdown. Hopefully it will be fixed eventually. It's not specific to Netflix, though - systemctl stop kodi will trigger it - unless Netflix was restarting kodi.bin for some reason?

It would always occur between 10-20% of the download of the Android image. Kodi would restart; however, during one crash I had an open shell session and it remained opened while Kodi restarted so it's not a full crash.

Here are all the crash logs generated while I was trying to solve the problem, perhaps there is something in here that might help shed light on the situation.

[Milhouse]

I'm not sure what that could be, apart from maybe a crash due to lack of storage space as the Android image download is now 3GB+.

I'm fairly sure the crash logs you posted are due to the shutdown bug and not related to the Netflix crash. If the Netflix crash happens again (or if anyone else experiences the same) then the crash log corresponding to the crashed kodi session may shed more light. Unfortunately since Kodi on RPi4 will crash every time on shutdown it means we are likely to burn through our store of 10 crash logs quite quickly and we may "lose" the logs with useful/relevant crash info if the log is not uploaded before being overwritten.

Thanks. Of the 6 logs, this is the only one which appears to be non-shutdown related:

kodi_crashlog_20200524083716.log -> http://ix.io/2ny3

this appears to have crashed while extracting embedded artwork from an MKV.

Since there's no crash log for the Netflix issue, that could suggest an out of memory situation as that's the only time we won't have a crash log (kodi will appear to have crashed, but it would actually have been killed by the kernel - the only way to be sure is by looking in journalctl -a). How much RAM does your RPi4 have? I'd guess OOM might happen on a 1GB board, but less likely on 2GB or 4GB unless there's a bug somewhere - maybe the Netflix/widevine extraction process goes bonkers and uses all the available RAM... just a guess.

I have the 4GB variant, I captured the output of the journalctl -a command and unfortunately it does not show anything useful: https://pastebin.com/raw/Npjdu5T4

When I have some free time this weekend, I'll re-install kodi without the patches and debug logging enabled to hopefully track down the cause.

[Seppl]

The downloaded zip of the Chrome OS image is actually around 900MB - 1GB (, afterwards the zip is extracted to around 2GB, so in total 3GB disk space needed). The download is done in chunks of 32KB, but even if it wasn't, an OOM on the 4GB RPi4 seems unlikely (especially after 10-20% of the download, i.e. ~200MB).

One thing concerning inputstreamhelper (the addon managing widevine download) that is reported rather often recently, is a timeout during download, which crashes inputstreamhelper, but not (stable) Kodi. But I guess that would show up somewhere in the logs.

New LibreELEC.tv Matrix build #0527: RPi / RPi2 / RPi4
(Supercedes previous build)

Milhouse, thanks so much for your incredible efforts!

I know this would be probably low on your to-do list, but is there a plan to support mirroring output on both HDMI ports or the ability to split audio and video between HDMI0 and HDMI1?

Reason for wanting this - I have an audio soundbar that doesn't support HDMI 2.0. My TV is a 4K HDR TV. Currently, if I hook up the pi --> soundbar --> TV, the soundbar will play surround but the TV won't show HDR content (because HDMI 2.0 is needed). If I hook up the pi --> TV, compressed audio is played through soundbar through HDMI-ARC (no eARC support). Eventually, when HBR audio is supported, I would like to push HBR audio to the soundbar and 4K HDR to the TV. Either method above would allow me to do that. I imagine that as other people upgrade pieces of their home entertainment systems (keep old audio receiver but upgrade to 4K TV), they will encounter the same problem.
