I'm trying to find out why now all my with some video playback are crashing.

I tried there to get some help but since I had the same problem using omxplayer: maybe this is due to the video core of the RPi4...

I'm currently testing to rollback the firmware to see if I found one where I can't reproduce those crashes.

I have little hope now to fix this so I'll try with a RPi3B+

SebDominguez commented 3 years ago

well I didn't managed to make the 3B+ crash. I'll let the pi running over night

@SebDominguez is this issue still relevant? Else please close it, thanks :-)

SebDominguez commented 3 years ago

I still experience deadlocks using a raspberry pi 4b and vlc or omxplayer.

I'm now using RPI3b+ for my video project now as a quickfix but I wish I could use recent hardware to future proof my stuff...

Funny enough, I've now upgraded my Octoprint server with a Raspberry Pi 4 and the video stream for long prints crash.

there is the output of the vcgencmd versioncommand:

I believe that I have the latest firmware installed since sudo rpi-update doesn't bump be to any new version.

I'm now rolling back to my old RPi3 with the latest version of Octoprint to see if the video also crash.

I'm a bit concerned to see that I'm still having issues with my Pi4 and video content. Is there any hope for a fix?

We’ll need instructions to reproduce issue. Eg an example file and script that plays it in a loop.

I've already linked my script on the original post.
