@kshi can you test this image as well if NF still play with latest widevine 4.10.2252.0 library?

@Portisch, Installed the above version. I’m happy to report that Netflix content plays just fine.

And just for reference:
Widevine: 4.10.2252.0
Inputstream Helper: 0.5.4+matrix.1
Inputstream Adaptive: 2.6.16.1

[Vasco]

Same problem? And the same solution presented 2/3 posts below didn’t work? Can you just try?

Please check in CoreELEC addons->Video player Inputstream if you have all 3 addons installed.

It crashed as soon as it started

I have not deleted my addons. It is too much work to setup again.

[Portisch]

@franko12345 please try again with this image:

It does now use LD_PRELOAD tcmalloc like LE is doing. Please test again if it still crash or not.

[franko12345]

Started up fine. I will let you know if a random crash happens. Thanks

[DDuck]

Installed this update on my 2 devices.
No more reboots so far. Will keep you posted if anything changes.

Many thanks Portisch

File on MEGA

Hi,
Yes I’ve installed “File on MEGA” on both of my devices.
Unfortunately I have to report that the random reboots still occur on the 2 devices.

[Portisch]

You are able to downgrade cdm to an older version than 4.10.2252.0?

[DDuck]

@Portisch

19.2-Matrix_devel_20210602080054.tar

The about screen shows:
Distribution CoreELEC (community)
Version: 19.2-Matrix_devel_20210602080054

[DDuck]

Have not tried yet to downgrade …
Will try, unless a solution is to be expected shortly.

[Portisch]

I think more and more it’s a “buggy” ibwidevinecdm.so.

Here you can download a “4.10.1679.0” and the “4.10.2252.0” version:
https://mega.nz/folder/eaBEjDIa#G1TiVKSQ-7YFaXChT3lHzQ

Just stop media playback in kodi and replace the file libwidevinecdm.so here:
/storage/.kodi/cdm
You can rename the old one or just overwrite. Then do reboot once and inputstream.helper addon should show you the old or new version number.

Then try again with the “4.10.1679.0” lib, thank you. Do not choose update Widevine on playback start, just cancel and try watching.

This should be shown on the “4.10.1679.0” version:

[DDuck]

Will try later today.
Think that you are correct in your hunch that it might be related to the latest widevine release.
However I was quite happy with the latest release as it resolved some issues I had with the previous one.
But I will let you know the results as soon I’ve made the replacement.
Cheers.

Maybe yes, I tried already some options what may can cause this issue but it does not solve it. So last question is the cdm lib itself.

Please use the 19.2-Matrix_devel_20210602080054.tar and only exchange the cdm lib in /storage/.kodi/cdm.

I just tested it and you even do not need to reboot. Only stop playback in kodi and move back to main screen. Replace the lib and then check again with inputstream.helper. Just do not update Widevine on playback start as the lib is lost again.

[Portisch]

We just changed the built in library to LD_PRELOAD for next nightly. This is maybe one reason causing kodi crash and/or rebooting devices.

The other part is the Widevine cdm library itself. It looks like the new version is buggy and do also cause kodi crash and/or rebooting devices. By revert the cdm library back to the old version kodi does not crash anymore.

Here is a backup of the current Widevine cdm libraries:
https://mega.nz/folder/eaBEjDIa#G1TiVKSQ-7YFaXChT3lHzQ

Just exchange it in /storage/.kodi/cdm

Hi,

I have a quite old box, a Nexbox A95X-B7N 1 Gbyte RAM, 8 Gbyte ROM. 19.2 RC1 boots from an SD card, an is working fine so far, except one thing: my device has 2 USB ports, and only one is usable (the one next to the sd reader), the other is inactive. I use the gxl_p212_1g DTB.

With the latest legacy CoreElec version both USB ports are working. If you have time, can you please fix this issue? This box only has a 100M Lan contoller, so I use an USB-Ethernet adapter in the first USB port, and on USB keyboard in the another one.

Bqeel M9C Max - USB OTG port not working

Copy this script to: /storage/.config/autostart.sh (Or add the contents if you already have a autostart.sh) autostart.sh (123 Bytes) This script will set the USB controller type to “3”. (0:normal, 1:host, 2:device, 3:otg) After implement the script two reboots are needed to become active at all. If CE get updated a additional reboot after the update is needed.

Hi I’ve exchanged the cdm lib (into 4.10.1679.0) in /storage/.kodi/cdm, on the installed 19.2-Matrix_devel_20210602080054 version (and verified it with the InputStream Helper Information).
Unfortunately the random reboots still occur.
