RPi-4 no HEVC anymore

Ever since (I believe) LibreELEC 9.2.3 there is hardware support for HEVC encoded video in Kodi on my Raspberry Pi-4

Playing HEVC works with all my video files.

A week ago I tried newer builds from popcornmix to find out about new features.

After some time, I reverted back to 9.2.6 by "upgrading" within Kodi's LibreELEC tab.

That went OK I thought, but now it appears that I cannot play any HEVC video anymore,

it crashes immediately in Kodi, I guess it has to do with the installation of the popcornmix build.

Anyone has a idea how to properly revert back to the situation where I am able to play HEVC in hardware ??

Just 'update' to the release v9.2.6 image, which can be done as a manual update in the LE settings add-on.

I tried that option, but it didn't resolve the problem.

Finally I installed libreelec from scratch by writing the image on an SD card,

and now everything works again.

Thanks anyway.
