add-on causing system freezes #648
Comments
@anxdpanic any chance of this getting reviewed? it is making this addon pretty unusable for me. i even tried a fresh install of libreelec and this addon with no success |
Give this a try: #451 (comment) |
ok the setting i found did not work. possibly it changed in newer kodi releases |
@portno12 |

makes sense, i just couldnt do anything with it. but adaptive caused an instant freeze on the stream i tried. did something change in kodi 19.x maybe with this? |
I think I'm also getting this but it doesn't cause a complete system freeze, only causes kodi to freeze. I can still ssh into libreelec on my pi. I'm also using inputstream adaptive and still getting this, I'm relatively sure at the exact moment when ads are being played. The only thing in the kodi logs right around that moment is
and then nothing. But in `journalctl
this is repeating from that moment on. Libreelec issue? it's only happening when ads from twitch on this addon start to play, nowhere else though. |
I needed to downgrade python on arch to not freeze with this version. |
@anxdpanic ads have become much more prevalent on twitch making this addon harder to use. is there some way to compensate for it? i also noticed just screen transitions with no ads, like be right back montages on channels i subbed to, also seem to break things for me and i ended up hard rebooting the pi seems another has an issue on libreelec. has anyone tried openelec? i cant since last i looked it cant (and wont per the dev) support the pi4. |
This worked for me. 👍🏻 |
@jasondaigo libreelec doesnt have package management. i see python 3.8.9 though. which version worked for you and were you ever able to update? @dlicois are you using libreelec? that setting wasnt changeable for me. |
i think it was 3.9.on arch, switched ro ubuntu flatpak and liveproxy meanwhile. cant investigate further |
@portno12 This is with add-on 2.6.1 on Kodi 19.4 in Ubuntu 22.04. |
i did another test on this. and there is an actual issue with the addon too i think. i was subbed to a stream so there should have been no ads, yet i got one starting a stream and the same one then froze kodi in the middle for an "ad". |
I've been getting this on my RPi4 too, very consistently freezes after a few seconds of ad audio (some ad video occasionally loads too, but usually it freezes on the stream visual). An RPi3 in the other room has no such issues. Will check if using adaptive quality fixes it; I recall I had previously turned it off because it seemed to be causing audio/visual desync on the RPi3. EDIT: Inputstream.adaptive didn't seem to make any difference, but the hardware acceleration workaround from #451 (comment) did. |
I was also getting this with the latest plugin version on Kodi 20.0, Lubuntu Kinetic Kudu. It made watching live streams impossible, since they start with a "commercial break" midroll countdown, followed by freezing. (I did get a live broadcast to work once, I have no idea what was different about that time.) Fortunately, the Quality -> Adaptive workaround seems to have completely fixed the issue for me. |
I don't think the Quality -> Adaptive workaround works for Raspi4s. I need to disable hardware acceleration as well to prevent crashes. Which sends the CPU usage skyrocketing. Does anyone have a clue why the hardware acceleration with the Raspi still gets this error? |
I can also confirm that the settings
alone don't fix/work around the issue because I have had them like this to begin with and basically can't watch Twitch on my rpi4 because ads have either kodi or my whole rpi freeze. On the other hand, I can reliably watch Amazon Prime and Netflix without any issues and both are also using InputStream Adaptive (as far as I know). |
Just wanted to chime in to say that in the new version of kodi the option is now the disable hardware acceleration with Prime. You can leave deinterlacing with Prime enabled. Disabling prime hardware accel fixed it for me on Raspberry Pi4. I did not change the InputStream setting. |
Context
Please provide any relevant information about your setup
Expected Behavior
Please describe the behavior you are expecting.
add-on does not cause the system to freeze up periodically
Current Behavior
What is the current behavior?
periodically, i think when midroll ads are supposed to start the add on causes my pi4 to freeze. no inputs work and the only solution is hard rebooting the pi which is not sustainable. due to the freeze logging doesnt seem to happen either
Steps to Reproduce
Please provide detailed steps for reproducing the issue.
Log
Please include a complete debug log.
cannot capture due to freeze stopping logging
