Yeah sure you can always report your problems but since it is an overclocking issue, and so, running out of spec, I don't believe it will get any attention. Having said that, you’re right, the h264_freq doesn’t do much, so I’m fine with having that on standard, although I would prefer being able to overclock v3d without having to switch it off and restart my pi every time I start Kodi. Overclocking is certainly pretty much necessary if you want smooth playback of Netlfix on Kodi. Personally, I have a pretty chunky heatsink and fan with thermal paste on my 3B+, and so have enjoyed getting the extra power out of my pi that overclocking has afforded, to use it as almost my main desktop, with occasional media centre use through Kodi. Before now, on the 4.19 branch, the exact same overclock settings were working consistently perfectly.

I thought I should report this as I thought it was interesting that it was the update to the 5.4 kernel branch that broke this. Yeah, I do get that it might not be doing it the official way, but I do think that overclocking is sufficiently covered in the official pi documentation to make it mainstream enough that an update to a new kernel branch that breaks it should be reported. And v3d is almost the same, I don't believe it will benefit anything on Kodi. That's the same for every processor manufactoring process, not only the RPies.Īnd anyway, overcloking h264 hardware decoder doesn't make a diference, the default setting plays pretty much anything, overclocking it will only cause more heat. It may depend on the batch (manufactoring), some may overclock better than others. Not all chips, even on the same RPi version, are exactly the same. For example, the Raspberry Pi 3 (not the 3B+) that I tested this today, I cannot overclock gpu_freq=500, even on 4.19 kernels because it causes graphical problems. You cannot guarantee that anything will work with an overclocked system or subsystem. Your occasional reminder: *over*clocking is running the system outside its specified parameters.

PS: this unrelated to OPs problem, just an apart.

You can also check Kodi launch script in /usr/bin/kodi which has the code to start Kodi. You can check by running, for example "top", via ssh when Kodi is running. And for changing Virtual Terminal in Linux, the user needs to have super user permissions or to be root. One of them is that if you are running a Desktop Environment (anything than runs on X server) for Kodi to run, it needs to change Virtual Terminal (any other which isn't running anything that requires X) otherwise it won't work. Kodi on Raspbian and most other OSs for the Raspberry Pi is compiled with GBM instead of X11 for better performance, but it has its limitations. This was explained here on this forum and Kodi forum (for example in the link you posted) but here it goes again: Kodi by default, at least on Debian based OSs, either ARM or x86, by default runs as the user who start it. Kodi itself doesn't need sudo or runs as root. Kernel 5.4.52 is up-to-date but missing for raspberry. So, never ever use kodi with root-rights! I’m guessing that if Kodi continues to be stable on my 3B+ now, then it must be the overclocking options that are causing the instability on 5.4, as that’s the only thing I’ve changed.ĥ.4.51-v7l+ #1326 SMP Fri Jul 17 10:51: armv7l GNU/Linux If these are the cause of the issue it’s interesting that 5.4 caused instability with the exact same options.ĮDIT: Sorry - I see you already said standard config.txt. All these overclocking options were working fine on the 4.19 branch. Do you have any overclocking in your setup? I wanted to get back to as standard a config as I possible, so I took away all non-standard configs from my config.txt, which were all overclocking options, and now Kodi seems to be working ok.

FKMS on RPi 4 and Legacy/proprietary video drivers on RPi 3. Yes, Kodi 18.7, latest version from Raspbian Repo.

Do you have kodi installed from the raspbian repo? Do you have any non-standard config settings? Which video driver do you use? Just finished updating here on RPi 3 and one RPi 4 via apt, got kernel 5.4, and Kodi works just fine on both.
