New install of Kodi 20 crashing when navigating movies.
#1
Just spun up a new install of latest 64-bit raspbian (lite) on a 4 (1GB).    (Wanted to use a newer/larger one, but I can't get the newer one to work with my TV....  Just blank after booting).

Runs fine and I've had no problems with music.   But I just had it index my movies and if I select "movies" (displaying infowall) and then start scrolling down, it'll crash.   I'm supposing I need some sort of thumbnail cache, but I'm uncertain.   (Playing movies seems to work fine).

Debug log: https://paste.kodi.tv/asumigesas.kodi
Crash log: https://paste.kodi.tv/nofisinuzu.kodi

And the console output from the `kodi-standalone` after the crash:

console output:

What is the model/memory size of the Pi that didn't work?
What OS are you running (Pi5 needs bookworm).

Could be a memory issue, as 1GB Pi is on the low side for ram (especially if you are using a 4K resolution).
Might be worth trying with LibreELEC, which is a bit more minimal?

It's a 4G/4B. On my (21"?) ASUS monitor it works fine. On my Sony Vaio TV (1080, not 4k) it boots and with some HDMI settings, I can see several seconds of boot messages. But there's a point in the boot where the TV goes black and reports no signal. I've tried boosting the signal, doing hdmi safe_mode, and some different hdmi settings, but got nowhere after about 45 minutes, so went back to the old 1G/4A that's been running (an older) kodi forever.

Bookworm.

Yes, but I seem to remember I've had this issue in the past and have had to bump a cache memory setting or similar. But I don't have any notes from the older install.

Not sure it's terribly helpful since there are no symbols, but I got a backtrace from the coredump...

I installed 21/Omega and same problem.  :-(    Movie playing is fine, but fast display of thumbnails rapidly crashes.     I suppose I could build a version to have debugging symbols, but that seems like it would take quite a bit of work.

Might be worth trying LibreELEC - it is pretty minimal so will have a lower memory footprint that RPiOS.
The result of that may help narrow down the issue.
