>So I've got this charger. It's a new charger, cable all looks good and is about 1.5m long.
That looks like the official power supply and I trust that seller not to sell fakes.
✔️ Power OK
>This SD Card
✔️ SD Card OK
>unplugged the fan ... external drive is self-powered via AC
✔️ Peripherals OK
>I haven't overclocked the Pi myself, and a arm_freq gives me 1400.
✔️ Clock probably OK
>I'm on the LibreELEC 9.0.1.
✔️ That seems to be the latest. It's still possible something could be messed up on your install. If a fresh image doesn't resolve the problem, you could try rolling back one version to LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-9.0.0.img.gz.
>I forgot to mention that when you power back up, it has updated the library with the new media!
⚠️ That's odd. Does it completely finish the library update, or just part of it?
>it doesn't crash when the external drive isn't plugged in
⚠️ That seems like a strong indication that the USB drive has something to do with it, but I can't imagine what. It has its own AC power adapter, so it probably isn't pulling voltage down when it spins up. If the drive isn't too full, would you consider reformatting it? I'd be interested to know if it behaves differently after formatting as a different file system, like ext4. You can go a step further and wipe out the whole partition table. I think LibreELEC should have the commands you need in order to format a drive from the terminal/ssh.
Dont think there's anything like that tbh.
Suggestions:
A standard TV hat case for the Pi4 with a USB3 JBOD enclosure.
For better cooling and performance but more expense consider fitting a Flirc case & ditching the TV hat for a USB tuner like the Happauge Dual-TV, allowing you to watch/record two channels simultaneously.
First of all, let me thank you for such a detailed and well thought out post!
So I've got this charger. It's a new charger, cable all looks good and is about 1.5m long.
This SD Card
This cooling/case I have unplugged the fan, it's too loud. I'm looking for a quiet fan, but the heatsinks seem to have been adequate for now, I think.
My external drive is self-powered via AC, although it is not the best drive, it does work. I can access and play all of the media just fine, it's just that last stage of scanning the library where it all goes wrong. I forgot to mention that when you power back up, it has updated the library with the new media!
I'm currently moving a file over to /storage and I will try scanning library without the external drive plugged in to see if it makes a difference.
I did have a fan plugged in, but it was too noisy so it's out for now. I haven't overclocked the Pi myself, and a arm_freq gives me 1400.
I did think about overvolting. It's something to explore if all else fails.
I'm on the LibreELEC 9.0.1.
So, it doesn't crash when the external drive isn't plugged in and scanning the library, but there is only 1 media file to find.
Something like this? ODROID-C2 Project Board Quad Core 2GHz 2GB RAM HDMI 2.0 IR Gigabit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CQBRXOQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1OrSzb75C3VP3
I have two RPi4's. I purchased the Canakit that included the power supply:

and I ordered the following case which acts as a heatsink:

One runs LibreElec, the other runs a Grafana kiosk. Zero issues.
