Android Kodi freezes randomly on shield pro while reading sftp server
#1
Hi there, Going crazy (especially my wife) because of this crashing issue.

The image freezes randomly while playing videos from my sftp server and Kodi doesn't respond anymore. I have to restart it.

The files played are never very large (never more than 1080p and between 2 to 4 GB max).

Could it be because of my not so good network connection ? The settings for the buffer ?

Thank you all

Here is the full log https://paste.kodi.tv/hemimiwocu.kodi

and the main errors are :
  • CMediaCodecVideoBuffer::ReleaseOutputBuffer error in render(false)
  • error <general>: SOCK: Error selecting socket(s)
  • error <general>: ES: Exception caught while listening for socket
  • error <general>: JSONRPC Server: Select failed

ReleaseOutputBuffer is not a crash failure and appears on some installations without crash conditions

the socket errors might indicate a connection issue occurs

take note the vfs.sftp addon was last updated for Nexus (v20) and there may be conditions in V21 or V22 which it's not capable of handling - https://github.com/xbmc/vfs.sftp/releases
recommend eliminating this addon and verifying kodi works without it to isolate issues to either Kodi or the addon


it could be a misinterpretation of the issue at hand or it could be that the Nexus version of the addon is not compatible with Omega

Thank you.
I will try. But without this sftp addon, I'm fucked

I think I had the same issue before, with another device, older Kodi version... and the same server.
