Mopidy crashes with free(): invalid pointer

General

Latest Mopidy on latest Raspbian on Pi 4. After a few hours the server crashes with these lines in the log:

Nov 16 19:01:40 pi4 mopidy[1617]: free(): invalid pointer
Nov 16 19:01:40 pi4 systemd[1]: mopidy.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=6/ABRT
Nov 16 19:01:40 pi4 systemd[1]: mopidy.service: Failed with result ‘signal’.

Pretty vanilla install, but here’s my config:

[raspberry-gpio]
enabled = true

bcm16 = volume_down,active_low,250
bcm6 = next,active_low,250

Please let me know if more information is required.

So far all of these crashes people have reported here are due to mopidy-pidi. I’d suggest disabling the plugin and verifying the crashing stops. Then report the issue on the mopidy-pidi bug tracker.

Hi both!

I have exactly same issue. Pi zero + pirateaudio + mopidy-pidi onboard as well. Is there any way to ensure this is an issue with mopidy-pidi other than elimination by disabling this extension?

//edit: I found this thread: Mopidy crashes when pidi is enabled · Issue #12 · pimoroni/mopidy-pidi · GitHub
I’ve just updated spidev running: sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade spidev
Let’s see whether it helps… @Jetze_Mellema, any chance you already did that?

Thanks.

OK, so upgrading spidev to 3.5 definitely helps. 3.4 is faulty.
