Description

Additional context
  • Operating system: OSMC on rpi3
  • Kodi version: 18.7
  • Addon version: latest
  • Using a VPN: no
  • Country you are using the addon from: Belgium

In the mornings I have Kodi play the latest Journaal episode. About 1 in 5 or 6 times, OSMC locks up with the loading animation. I can still ssh into the rpi3 and everything except kodi is responsive. Rebooting usually locks up, I have to power cycle.

I've never had this issue with starting any other episode or show so I'm now, after months, suspecting it might be addon related?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the reported plugin:// URL sequence and the Kodi log around VideoPlayer::OpenFile on OSMC for Raspberry Pi 3 with Kodi 18.7. Reproduce the morning playback flow and determine whether launching the latest Journaal episode repeatedly causes Kodi to lock up. Done means the sequence no longer leaves Kodi stuck with a loading animation.
