Kodi restarts during downloading Chrome OS
Dear, I'm running Coreelec (19.2-Matrix_rc2) on an Amlogix S905X from an SD card (16gb).
when trying to install Widevine the system always crashes around 2/3 third of the download. I briefly checked the log, but couldn't find a clear explanation why it crashed (no error message), seems like it just stopped. log: https://paste.kodi.tv/qanodafeza.kodi I pasted the whole log, but the interaction with the addon seems to start as from line 2814.
Personally I have a dirty workaround by restoring a backup with working widevine from another device (rpi4), but I was interested to know what could explain the behaviour.
Kind regards, Valentijn
Do you have some kind of automatic suspend or maybe screensaver which might become active before the download finishes? Please try disabling any of that or regularly press a button on your remote/keyboard (but one which doesn't really do anything, like "Ctrl" on a keyboard).
I'm not sure, but I think a progress dialog doesn't keep the system awake? If so, we should find a way to do so @mediaminister @dagwieers.
If the system crashes maybe there is a problem with writing to the filesystem. Please try using another SD card.
I tried a clean install on a spare SD card I often use to play around and kept the system awake. Unfortunately this didn't help. Also the log of the clean install doesn't add additional info.
@mediaminister, I also would suspect a system type of error given that this happens during the download of the file, which in my opinion is quiet straight forward. Therefore I went looking on the Coreelec forum and have found someone with a similar issue (unfortunatley without a solution). But I'll continue looking in that direction: https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/s905x-emmc-bootloader-image-to-try-to-fix-large-file-transfert-crash/14353
In the meantime I was wondering if someone could help me by finetuning my workaround.
- By either indicating what code to for the addon to identify a manually added widevine backup in the following folder: \IP\Userdata\addon_data\script.module.inputstreamhelper\backup
- or by indicating how to replace the libwidevinecdm.so file in the .kodi/cdm folder
thanks in advance
The easiest way would be to just put the libwidevinecdm.so in the .kodi/cdm directory, then go to the inputstreamhelper settings page and enable the option "Disabled".
I guess you could try this: https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/le-potato-segmentation-fault-on-large-file-transfer/690/46
