After a while of running Coreelec, I cant play my media. It just hang.

This is the error in the logs

Any advice?

Do you have LibreSpot or the Spotify add-on installed?
Both add-ons are known to cause problems with video playback.

#3

I have. Removing and will report back.

#4

same issue here. will disable the Spotify addon for now and hoping for a solution soon.

#5

Any update regarding this issue?

Is there any other music service with addon that do not have this problem? Deezer, Tidal?

The LibreSpot addon tends to be more stable and I use it for myself.
But it can’t be used to browse your Spotify library directly, and is only being used as a Spotify player. So you start the playback on e.g. your smartphone and choose Kodi as your playback device.

I don’t know about other streaming services, as I only use Spotify.
For problems with the other addon, you should ask the author, of course (Marcel Veldt).
