Description

Originally posted here : https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm/issues/295

Team Kodi released a slightly newer version of projectM a few days ago. Unfortunately , it looks like the ProjectM version 2.3.4.1 add-on for LibreELEC is still affected by the "rendering freeze after preset change" issue ( #243 ) as well as the previously mentioned presets folder structure issue.

While it is possible to replace the existing /storage/.kodi/addons/visualization.projectm/resources/projectM/presets with the new presets folder structure , visualizations only display for approximately 20 seconds before freezing.

ProjectM freezing seems to leave the Kodi interface completely unresponsive to any navigation input which then requires a full reboot of LibreELEC...

Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze on LibreELEC 9.2.0 with the projectM 2.3.4.1 add-on, including the preset folder structure under /storage/.kodi/addons/visualization.projectm/resources/projectM/presets. Read the related reports #243 and #295 for context. Done means preset changes no longer freeze visualization or make the Kodi interface unresponsive.
