Environment: OpenELEC 8.0.4 on RasperryPi 3
I find out, it is a different to play videos in main-menu VIDEOS or main-menu PICTURES.
I have an example video made by a Sony DSC-400H camera. It is a MTS file (H294) with 1920x1080 ink. audio. The test video is located on local drive (not network).
If I play this file in the category VIDEOS then everything is fine.
But the file is normally placed as a part of a photo collection. That's why I would play the file in PICTURES. But this always crash Kodi. The different is, that the memory usage is gowning an growing and at 94% memory usage Kodi crashes. Until that limit the video is running.
If I play the file in category VIDEOS the memory usage is stable at ~20% and its OK.
It seems to me, that this is a bug in Kodi by using videos in PICTURES..?
Update:
The usage of the memory in PICTURES is growing while Kodi is creating thumbnails (or do other things). This cost the complete main memory! If I play the video in the meantime of this procedure then the playback crashes. If I wait e.g. 10s before I start the playback, then I see the growing memory, then the free of the memory and then the playback is also running here.
