It would be good for anyone experiencing crashes to try it and produce a more detailed crashlog.

I installed debug enabled build and whilst I have been unable to provoke a full kodi crash yet, I have experienced video lock ups where audio continuing with live streams.

Noticed issue with both itv live stream and bbc live streams which use different add-on. In my case I am usually able to stop the live stream from playing and try another that may/may not work correctly.

Attached is kodi.log when managed to catch bbc live stream video pause/lock whilst audio continued etc. Will leave debug-enabled build installed tomorrow and see if I can provoke another crash...


---edit----

Tried to play itv stream, where video frame pauses immediately the streams starts, I then provoked a crash via ssh with "kill -SIGSEGV $(pidof kodi.bin)" command

When you do it by the terminal in LE then you have to mount rw before

I'm not sure why. Only happens with libreelec.

Could be a certificate issue. When did it start, which build? Can't tell anything from your log - upload a full debug log.

Hi, here is my config:

...think that problem is in current builds. I'm able to switch on 1080p - ok - but if i go to 50Hz in the refresh rate - Kodi switch to "desktop", and set 50Hz - only a disfigurement? ;-) Picture is as far as good @ 1080p/60Hz - hmm, but my TV is an older Sony only 50Hz.

(2016-12-17, 16:10)metaron Wrote: [ -> ]I have been having problems seeing video/audio with the occasional H264 recorded video files via PVR (mythtv backend). This seems to affect about 1 in 10 HD video recordings made from BBC1 HD in the UK. It has been hanging around for a couple of months or so and causing great frustration when I come to get my weekly strictly fix. Mythfrontend plays them fine as does mediaplayer (on an x86 gentoo linux box)

Scenario: Select the recorded file from the list of recordings and select 'play' from the context menu.
Results: 'playing' icon shows with elapsed time starting to count, but fullscreen video never appears.
To get video: via sidebar, select fullscreen video, then press select and via video settings adjust de-interlace (to any available setting).
Kodi shows 'seeking' for a short period, then playback commences (flawlessly!)

I've tried with OMX acceleration enabled (my preferred solution), and only MMAL acceleration enabled - no difference
I've tried disabling the demuxer in pvr.mythtv - no difference
I've tried pausing and re-starting fullscreen video and skipping forward/back and fastforward/rewind - no video appears
I tried setting de-interlace to 'off' by default. Same issue.
Only changing deinterlace method once 'playback' has started causes any video to appear.

After setting 'sync playback to display' to true (had reset itself to false) and 'Adjust display refresh rate to 'Always' (had reset itself to blank) I brought the fault back...

It seems to be something to do with switching refresh rate as by setting a different starting refresh rate in System Settings->Display->Refresh rate and then initiating playback of the suspect file the fault disappeared with 7.90.009 and I can't get it to come back!

I can't seem to make it happen at all with #1216 so maybe one of the recent tweaks fixed it.
After all this investigation I hate to leave it 'unfinished' without some idea if it will come back again or not, but fingers crossed it won't.

Since #1217 entering or leaving a folder in PVR Recordings has got incredibly slow (on RPi). Not seen when reverting to #1216.

Are you sure 1080p50 was working in earlier builds?

Your config.txt looks ok. Option "max_usb_current=1" is not needed with actual firmware.

Check the used configuration:
# vcgencmd get_config hdmi_mode
hdmi_mode=31

Check the active mode:
# tvservice -s
state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (31) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 50.00Hz, progressive

You can try to switch the mode manually;
Try if this is working with your TV:
# tvservice --modes=CEA
# tvservice --explicit="CEA 31 HDMI"

You can also check the supported modes of your display:
# tvservice -d edid.dat
# edidparser edid.dat

1) Regarding Video/pausing with audio continuing issue, I have noticed that once this issue has occurred with an add-on providing Live streams; it subsequently appears to affect all other live streaming and Live TV via DVB-T with same symptoms. (Catch-up streams are NOT affected?)

2) With quite recent addition of PR:11143 in build #1212b and later I thought it might be worth testing again to see if kodi is more stable/reliable with two PVR back-ends (Filmon & Tvheadend42) running at same time.

Running #1216 (debug build) as soon as started second pvr back-end by enabling it (pvr.filmon) Kodi crashed.

Not unexpected, seen this behavior before, and been advised to delete tv and epg databases whenever changing between pvr back-end addons.
(Not aware of way to do this whilst enabling and disabling pvr back-ends in Kodi GUI and fully appreciate will loose user defined channel arrangements in kodi's channel manager)

Kodi crashlog

Note: Once kodi recovered from crash both PVR back-ends enabled and working in tandem, will now see how reliably they work together after initial hiccup of enabling a second PVR when one already running.
(Will play around with channel manger in kodi to arrange favorite mix of channels from two pvr back-ends)

@herrmeier01 , many thanks for your support.
here little info:
I am shure, that 1080p50 was working in earlier builds.

pi3:~ # tvservice -s
state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (16) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

pi3:~ # tvservice --modes=CEA
Group CEA has 15 modes:
...btw : HDMI:EDID CEA mode (16) 1920x1080p @ 60 Hz with pixel clock 148 MHz has a score of 273832

pi3:~ # edidparser edid.dat
HDMI:EDID best score mode is now CEA (31) 1920x1080p @ 50 Hz with pixel clock 148 MHz(score 5336040)

pi3:~ # tvservice -s
state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (31) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 50.00Hz, progressive

@doldi welcome...

To be sure. When your Pi just startup (no video playback, no TV ect.) then Kodi use 1080p60 mode?
Do you have the option "change resolution = always" active in the video settings? Actually Kodi should switch the resolution automatic for match the source. I use the same settings here with #1213x. As lang as I have no Blu-Ray playback activ my mode is always 1080p50.

That's strange, maybe some developer or power user can have a look at this when you add a debug log. At the entry post there is a nice how-to for creating debugs in part 9.

Hi Guys,

Just a heads up, I've been having a problem with the mediaportal PVR crashing on start up, gets to 75% Everytime, freezes and then reboots, it Started with #1217.
I'm currently back on #1216 as in the middle of watching something, but will upgrade and post debug logs asap..
Also appears to be happening in the latest Windows nightly...

Best wishes

Bucky
