As of the 7.0.3 versions, I have been seeing video freezes when playing very long ambience videos.
(I like to watch these to help me sleep)
At just around 7 hours to 7.5 hours, a video will freeze and the sound is a nasty whine, (waking me up )
This didn't seem to happen with 7.0.2. Its fairly repeatable with 7.0.3.
This does not happen when playing a very long video, stored on my NAS and playing through UPNP.
Therefore, I do not think its a recent update of Kodi 20.5, causing it.
A couple of ideas I had are...
-Somehow a memory leak bug worked its way into 7.0.3.
-Google/youtube, with their anti add-block zeal, has put in code to watch if mid-role adds are running and cuts off videos at 7 hours if not.
Things like this are really tough to diagnose since it takes so long to reproduce it, causing insanely long debug logs.
Anyway I just wanted to bring this up in case someone wants to look at it.
I rarely watch videos played directly from youtube anyway.
