locks up #9

When I use the 3.7gb image I can run videos for days and the system does not lock up. My smaller Minibian based version locks up, not sure how quickly. Ran it overnight and it was locked up by morning, stuck on a still frame image onscreen. I am using the USB drive but it happens with both internal and USB. Here is a link to my image file, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2w97gVYBA8wYWNxQm1pVUFYSG8/view?usp=sharing

Has anyone else had an issue with the software locking up after doing an install(meaning not using the image file provided)? Thanks in advance for your help.

I decided to go back to the start and rebuild. Following and refining my original steps I did everything the same except I did no updates and I did not update the kernel. This error came up the first time I did the build but it resolved itself and I thought it was when I created the home/pi/videos folder but that is not what resolved it.

When you start the autostart.sh script(I made sure to make it 755) you get an error that videoloop service is not started on line 6 of the code service videoloop start. Not sure what I need to update so I am trying to check the working version versus the non-working version.

If anyone knows or has had this error when they were building themselves let me know. Thanks everyone.

Examine the install.sh script to see where the files need to go if the install didn't work for you.
