Full Version: Kodi crashes while idle

I am running Libreelec 9.2.0 on a Raspberry 4, connected via HDMI to an amplifier.
Kodi works but it crashes every day while being idle.
Here is the crashlog: http://ix.io/2aVm

We are also trying to hunt this down in the Libreelec forum (https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/21288-...tID=134355) but to me it looks like a Kodi issue.
If I am not mistaken it tries to give an output via HDMI which fails as obviously there is not output.
Same setup here, same issue. I have to reboot the raspberry pi 4 minimum every 24 hours as the crash impedes PVR recording. Will check for the log.
Just as a reference: I have migrated to a bundled Odroid N2/Coreelec setup and it runs without problems. So the crash is somewhere related to the Raspi 4.

Unfortunately I have to correct myself as it just crashed. And through cross referencing I am meanwhile pretty sure it is related to backend updates from tvheadend.

I've had a similar problem and I know of one other person having it too.

But just to confirm it's the same thing... Does the crash only occur when you've left a PVR/TV item selected? In other words, if you move the cursor to Kodi's Movies or Music menu, does the crash not occur?
Good question, let me verify this.
I have a hunch.  Can you post the contents of your config.txt?

As I switched to Coreelec I don't think there is a config.txt anymore. Anything specific I should be looking for?

No idea about CoreELEC.

That is indeed related. I get the impression it is related to PVR refreshing, for example because the tv guide is updated.
Sorry to hear it's likely the same bug because it's a hard one for the developers to replicate...

@4ndreas and I tried to get some logs that would help figure it out, but had no luck.

Happens with my N2 too.
@doug Unfortunately I have to revert my statement. It just crashed again this night and just the movie section was selected.

@speedwell68 which config part should I be looking at? Coreelec is configured a bit differently but still I can check
@Milhouse anything I can do to help track down this crash?
