Dear Maintainer,

When I was running buster with kodi from debian-multimedia, everything was running fine.
After upgrading to bullseye, running kodi started to completely freeze the machine after
5~30 minutes. That is, I can't even ssh to it.

I cleaned all packages from debian-multimedia and installed the kodi from bullseye, it didn't
improve the situation.

The freeze happened while
- streaming a video from twitch
- playing a local video file
- not playing any video, just looking through the settings menu.

I tried erasing the ~/.kodi folder, it didn't help.

The system and kodi logs show no useful information, only a bunch of ^@^@^@...
I installed netconsole to try to grab some message from the kernel before the freeze: no luck.

The machine has several programs running (boinc, apache, postfix, dovecot, pure-ftp,
nextcloud, davical, mysql...) and all run fine. Kodi is the only app that triggers this
system wide freeze.

This machine doesn't have an X server running most of the time. I only start it when I run
kodi. I tried running glxgears for a while, it didn't cause the freeze.

CPU: Celeron N3150 1.60GHz
RAM: 16GB
No dedicated GPU

I really have no clue why this is happening. Any suggestion of things to try to be able
to decipher the issue would be welcome.

Best regards,
