Hi, could someone help me to solve the issue:

tvservice-client: Failed to connect to TV service -1

that appears when a raspberryPi play several audio files, it seems to use 2 channels but the htop process show several threads working , as omxplayer launched for 1 play several process (pid)

I expanded the gpu memory to 512 , but I still keep the same problem.

I use Python to play with omxplayer, but the exception never catch up the error, maybe it is hardware.

Any ideas to try.

thank you

Maybe you are running too many omxplayer instances? Each omxplayer instance starts several threads as there are a thread for audio/video/subtitle Have a look at the raspberrypi / firmware github issue 441 and 373 which mention your issue. Don't know if nowadays the 4 is still the limit.
