When I play mkv files on my DM8000 with MediaPlayer (what I guess is gstreamer?), I get crashes every 5-10min. The image freezes, then the sound freezes three seconds later, and the box becomes non-responsive and I have to reboot. I assume there is no crash log. This is only the case since I installed OpenPLi, before I was on an older Gemini3 image and had no such issues.

 

Thank you for suggestions for how to solve or how to determine the source of the problem.

If you can reproduce it, login with telnet/ssh, stop Enigma with:

init 4

then restart it in the foreground, in debug mode, with

ENIGMA_DEBUG_LVL=4 enigma2

and see if there is anything interesting logged to the console when the box freezes...

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Thanks for your answer, I've tried this three times. Unfortunately, 2 out of 3 times the crash did not leave any traces. Basically the freeze happens, and telnet freezes as well, giving a network timeout after 15min without logging anything out of the ordinary.

(just stops here, telnet freezes as well)

One time there was a different behavior: This time the screen went black instead of freezing (so it might be an error unrelated to the usual one). The log of this one:

^CconnectionLost? [Failure instance: Traceback (failure with no frames): <class 'twisted.internet.error.ConnectionLost'>: Connection to the other side was lost in a non-clean fashion: Connection lost.

Any ideas how to fix this one (on the off-chance, that it's actually fixing the original problem)?

This looks more like a network issue, can you reproduce it with local media (disk or USB device)?

Or RAM is full. You can try to add swap.

I tried to ftp copy the mkv-file to the hdd, same crashes occurred. I don't have a usb medium at the moment which takes the file size. I can also play the same video fine over chromecast.

 

Added swap manager and created a swapfile on USB (1GB), still crashes.

Login to the box with telnet or ssh, stop Enigma with

init 4

then restart in debug mode

ENIGMA_DEBUG_LVL=4 enigma2

start playback of the mkv again, check the debug output when it crashes again, and post any results here.

@WanWizard: We did that already above, remember?  :huh:  :blink:

 

Whenever the crash was as usual (picture freezing, sound freezing some seconds afterwards), there was no additional output, and telnet froze as well (because the connection is lost I guess).

as suggested before, most likely run of of memory. Have you tried the option to extend the dm8000 memory by adding a swapfile ? I'd start there .....

No, otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it ;). I have a health condition that makes remembering a bit of an issue... :(

Yes, see above, I've tried that without any luck...

Sorry, I didn't know. Thanks for helping.
