RPi 4 - 9.2 A1 - MPEG2 Live TV Playback

bbro_spo · July 17, 2019 at 5:01 PM

Hello, I'm testing a new PI 4, 2GB and am finding that playing Live TV works great with H264 channels, but with MPEG2, the video is rendered in slow motion, while audio is ahead. I understand this is Alpha, but wanted to make sure that this was a known issue, or provide logs to help fix this in future releases.

I didn't see many video settings to change to turn off any hardware acceleration, then saw that in the PI4, MPEG2 does not have hardware acceleration. So, i'm not sure what I can tweak on the GUI end to fix it.

Thanks for any info!

I have a feeling you may need to add the FFMPEG addon from the LE repository.

If you still have issues:

Please provide a full debug log.

How to post a log (wiki)

1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
2. Restart Kodi
3. Replicate the problem
4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

That's probably the well known issue with interlaced video. See here for a fix LibreELEC (Leia) 9.2 ALPHA1 with Raspberry Pi 4B Support or wait for the next LE release (which should be available soon).

so long,

Hias

Thanks Hias, Looks like a match. I'll wait for the next update and report back.

Thanks!

Hias,

The firmware fixed it right up. Thank you for your help!
