Are you overclocking? If so try disabling it.
Try setting resampling method from GPU to medium.
Was it previously more stable? If so can you identify the build that started the problem?

 I think i solve the problem.

I saw in my kodi.log there where also a lot of errors with the spotify addon so i disabled the spotify addon and everything is running fine now.

RE: LibreELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 18.0) - MikeKL - 2018-03-28

Ref previous reply post in this thread about script.xbmcbackup add-on causing some possible issues with my install and suggestion to disable/remove or inform addon maintainer.

Blush Apologies milhouse as I have not raised topic with addon maintainer and not been able to physically remove, as its currently required by script.libreelec.devupdater which i still use to install nightly builds as soon as they are available. Blush

I am fully aware of built-in feature in Librelec to install nightlies, but currently although feature works, compared to unmaintained? script.libreelec.devupdater it has a couple of missing features that I still find helpful.
  • Highlighting of build version currently installed "libreelec icon" in presented list.
  • List of available versions to install being updated when accessing to review if any updates are available to install.
  • Information on key build changes, in build version, when available? (currently not working)
script.libreelec.devupdater (advising me tonight that #0327 currently installed and #0328 available to install)

Image

Libreelec settings, providing list of available builds (but not #0328 tonight? which is displayed by script.libreelec.devupdater as available)

Image

Above information for general usage feedback only.

---edit---

Went back to re-check builds displayed by libreelec settings and now shows #0328 and if selected to install; then clearly indicateds current build I have installed.

Image

Will start using built in feature from now on and remove script.libreelec.devupdater & script.xbmcbackup Blush Blush

RE: LibreELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 18.0) - Milhouse - 2018-03-29

Unfortunately the LibreELEC Settings add-on is a total nightmare to maintain, I suspect it probably needs an almost compete rewrite. This is a big chunk of work, and so far we don't have anyone that wants to do it. There's a number of things we'd like to add or improve in the LibreELEC Settings add-on but the gnarly and frankly unintuitive code is a major disincentive for pretty much everyone. The scripts.libreelec.devupdater has a very nice user interface, and the hope was we could somehow merge it into the LibreELEC Settings add-on but that seems unlikely now.

Hopefully we'll figure out what to do with the LibreELEC Settings add-on - oddly enough I've just spent the last couple of hours rolling ideas around my head trying to come up with ideas that could simplify maintenance. And leading on from this yes, we need to find a solution to the "available updates" problem - it's one thing for script.libreelec.devupdater to use a solution that works for a few hundred or even a few thousand users (I believe it scrapes the Kodi forum), but LibreELEC will need a solution that works for tens or potentially even hundreds of thousands of users without bringing the web server to it's knees (mirrors might help). Problem is, it means digging in that god-awful code. Sad

I'm new to the test builds, so I'm not sure if the issue I'm seeing is known.  Can anyone tell me if this is expected behavior:

When I exit from watching a channel (live TV, Myth PVR backend), the guide never comes back and I see a black screen with 4 horizontal blurry white lines.  I can hit exit, but then the screen just goes completely black.  I can hear the sounds that tell me that the remote buttons are registering.
Also, if I'm in live TV and I hit "info", I get a dark overlay on the entire screen instead of the overlay near the bottom that display information.  Hitting "info" again will remove the overlay, but never works correctly.

If I turn on system debugging, this doesn't happen.  Things work normally.

Thank you,
Brian

Is this with stock Estuary skin?

Does debug logging via advancedsetttings.xml as explained in note #9 of the first post allow you to reproduce the problem? Then reproduce the issue, and then upload your debug log to a pastebin site. 
Yes - it is with the stock Estuary skin.

Yes - debugging with the change to advancedsettings.xml allows me to reproduce the problem.

I couldn't get the large log file to upload to pastebin.  The instructions to cat kodi.log | pastebinit didn't work (it doesn't output a URL).  Instead I've put the file on google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gA6i9YzBu_ZXlt8KaGyQ4YS1ZQKNDxnF/view?usp=sharing

RE: LibreELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 18.0) - 3DBuff - 2018-03-30

Did anybody notice stuttering with new Pi3 B+ on 3D MVC files or is it just me?

I'm testing it right now with Turbo ON. Looks better. I need more time to fully confirm the fix.
New Pi3 B+ is continuously changing CPU clock causing skipped frames every 5 to 10s with 3D MVC files after a while.
I used to have Turbo on with RPi 3 at the beginning but then I took it out as not needed anymore. Didn't want to run CPU overclocked at max speed all the time.
B+ needs the Turbo back on. Maybe it's the new thermal profile for CPU clock or excessive power causing it to drop speed but it effects frame rate and keeps stuttering after a while (rally bad an hour into 3D movie).
Turbo on doesn't make B+ any hotter from what I can see but it takes care of the stuttering for now. It runs around 60 deg. C in my setup with limited air flow.

Is this something that has been working with these builds but now doesn't, in which case please identify the last working build.

However if this is something new that you're trying to get working you should probably start a dedicated thread. I would also suggest testing your configuration with LE 8.2.4 - once 8.2.4 works then test with these alpha builds and report if there's an issue.

Turbo on doesn't make B+ any hotter from what I can see but it takes care of the stuttering for now. It runs around 60 deg. C in my setup with limited air flow.
Turbo mode can be requested by arm (when any core is > 50% busy) or by GPU (for certain harder use cases, like advanced deinterlace, 60fps, HEVC or MVC).
Previously the logic was more basic and either side requesting turbo would result in turbo on the other side.
But, that may not be required. Simpler HEVC files don't require a turbo arm. Similarly for HW decoded 60fps files.
So we have separated the two sides and they can be in turbo mode independently. That generally results in lower temperatures.
But you may be running slightly closer to the edge in terms of performance, and as there is a little lag between arm becoming busy and getting turbo mode the performance can be lower.

So the plan was to see if the new scheme was sufficient. If not it's fairly simple to request arm_turbo for specific GPU tasks (like MVC) which would give the previous performance.
It may make sense to request the moderate turbo mode on arm (1200MHz on 3B+) which is probably sufficient for your problem but has lower voltage and temperature.
 Can you point at a sample file that shows this issue? Do the drops show up in the OSD when playing the video?

RE: LibreELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 18.0) - delinend - 2018-03-31

Hi.

For very long time (also back to KODI 17.x), there has been a problem, when resuming playback of DVD iso images and when using OMXplayer (MMAL is working OK).
Problem: When stopping a DVD iso movie, and resume playback again, the video is stalling on the resume time (no playback, but the play timer is counting up).
When resumeing after a reboot, the DVD iso is starting playback from time 00:00:00 (the beginning).

Here a log: KODI log

Hope someone can fix it. Thanks..

Best regards

RE: LibreELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 18.0) - fritz_hh - 2018-03-31

Hello everybody,

so i have tryed from #228 to #302, #322, #329 and now #330 with all i have a little problem.

When in the player settings are the hardware acceleration for OMX and MMAL is aktiv: 

- in Amazon i have green screen but the sound of the movie works
- Wehn i go to IPTV (right version of tvheadend for the nightly) the first Chanel starts in the right player with EPG Infomation and the Chanel Picon and i can enter to the guide
but now when i switch to the next Chanel Kodi played in the other Player without EPG Infomation and Chanel Picon it displayed "No Information" (other display split) here i can't enter in the guide.
But the Streams are workin fine with out leggs and the Sound is synchron to the video but than i can't switch to the next chanel with my remote.

When in the player settings are the hardware acceleration for OMX is off and MMAL is aktiv: 
- Amazon will working fine
- When i go to IPTV (right version of tvheadend for the nightly) all Chanels played in the right Player i have all infomations (EPG, Picon) and can enter to the guide an my remote will work also.
But the Stream have some leggs and in the most the Sound is asynchron to the video

My IP TV Sources:
- Telekom Entertain IP Stream
- Another IPTV Streaming List
- DVBC with AVM Repeater
