Mut@nt HD2400 freezing

[xhemp]

Imo nothing to do with bootloader.

Was the last time you used before upgrade 008? Or did u use 010 or 011?

Thanks, Sicilian.
Didn't use 010, went from 008 to 011 and now 012.
Just finished generating a new epg.dat on 012, let's see how it behaves.

Thanks, we'll use your info to try track commits in the GIT to hopefully trace the issue.

No worries, I will keep you posted.
If there's any other info you need from the box, just let me know and I will upload it.

No luck, still froze and there are no crash logs.
Any other ideas?

[xhemp]

Interesting, I can see before crashing, it lights out the recording light (power button turns red), image gets frozen, there's still audio for some seconds then the whole box freezes.

PS: Now it froze again without the recording light, weird.

Have you ports forwarded from your router to the box?

[Sicilian]

Do you have timeshift enabled?

Is your HDD mounted correctly? Blue button > VIX > Mount Manager, check its mounted to /media/hdd

Also enable logs, menu > setup > system > logs, enable and reboot.

Yes, I have one port, I have just removed that rule now.

Yes, my HDD has been mounted correctly to /media/hdd.
Just enabled debug logs and restarted.
I have also deleted the epg.dat (seeing Judge saw 2 of the 3 crashes I sent were from epg).

And as Sicilian mentioned, what about timeshift?
If enabled, maybe worth increasing the time before it kicks in.

Ops, forgot to answer Sicilian.
Timeshift is disabled to switch on apart from when I pause it.

If red rec light is coming on its possible you're being hacked as timeshift sounds to be disable, might be what Judge suggested.

That's the thing, it came on a couple of times and not the last time it froze.
The port opened was for streaming (8001) which was being forwarded from the external port 57575.

PS: As I was writing this, it just froze again (port forward disabled and timeshift light came on just before freezing), logs coming shortly.

[xhemp]

Hmm, when the box freezes the logs are overwritten after a reboot?
I am tailing the logs now, let's see if it happens again.

Hmm, it turns out that I had timeshift enabled after 5 minutes (I believe I restored from old settings), disabling that I didn't see the box freezing.
Just re-enabled it and froze after some minutes.
Disabled and it is looking good.
I am just puzzled by why it freezes with the timeshift enabled.

Logs don't look too helpful:

Edit: I am testing the timeshift without subtitles to see if it freezes, will report back shortly.
