Hello,
I am using self made builds of Kodi Helix RC3, TVHeadend master c6793b3 and TVH Addon Master 59d6e49 . This is built and running on an Intel I5 Sandy bridge desktop computer with latest Arch linux.
I can often see a situation where Kodi freezes when idle. The whole system becomes frozen I can launch no new apps I can only work with the apps which are open at the time of freeze. When the system is frozen like this the CPU usage increases. I am unable to kill kodi.bin process and the only workaround is to reboot the system. I am suspecting this has something to do with the PVR functionality and / or this addon because when I am using kodi without PVR i can't reproduce this. I have said this is mostly happening on startup but I have also seen it occassionally happening when Kodi finishes playing a movie and it justs sits there without me doing something then this freeze sometimes kicks in.
I do have idle scanning enabled in tvheadend. tvheadend fails to resolve my CA newcard server hostname so I have recently entered its IP address instead of its hostname into the tvheadend config.
The kodi.log from such a freeze session does not survive the reboot so I don't really know how to go about finding the cause. Has someone experienced something similar?
Greetings
Peter
