Hello, I'm making a digital picture frame that will just perpetually display videos in a loop.
Info + Log: https://paste.kodi.tv/yawaxivena.kodi
Raspberry Pi model: 3A+
Kodi (18.9 (18.9.0) Git:newclock5_18.9-Leia). Platform: Linux ARM 32-bit
Using Release Kodi x32 build (version for Raspberry Pi)
Kodi compiled 2021-07-06 by GCC 8.3.0 for Linux ARM 32-bit version 4.19.127 (267135)
Running on LibreELEC (official): 9.2.8, kernel: Linux ARM 32-bit version 4.19.127
FFmpeg version/source: 4.0.4-Kodi
Host CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l), 4 cores available
Problem:
When Kodi boots, I select 'Pictures' then select the external flash drive (called New_Volume) that my [email protected] videos are stored on. I open the left side menu and select 'Recursive Slideshow'. Kodi will display the loading circle but will never start playing the video. I cannot exit the loading screen no matter what buttons I press. Only powercycling the pi lets me get control back.
(Apologies I do not know how to resize images on this site).

What I've noticed and tried:
- I am aware this Kodi version is not the latest. However, newer versions are not compatible with the Raspberry Pi 3A+ due to the lack of RAM.
- I noticed it's always the first video (in this case AplMov-29.mov) that causes this infinite loading bug.
- I have tried deleting the first video (AplMov-29.mov) and using different videos as the first video. The bug still applies to the first video, no matter what video it is.
- If I enable 'randomise', then the other 2 videos will play as expected but when the first video (AplMov-29.mov) is reached, this bug will occur.
- If I select 'View Slideshow' instead of 'Recursive Slideshow' the first video (AplMov-29.mov) is loaded without any problem.
- If I just select the first video (AplMov-29.mov), it plays without issue.
- I have increased the GPU memory to 256mb (and disabled the automatic allocation that would override this setting).
- I have tried disabling hardware acceleration.
