Hi,

I created the following ticket on kodi but they told me that the problem should be better handled by the LibreElec community as it is certainly a Pi/LE specific issue.

Please test with the latest LE10 version - LE9.2 is EOL and won't receive further bugfixes.

so long,

Does it boot if you disable anything CEC related on your TV?

I can ssh to the Pi4 box running LibreElec. How can I disable CEC on the TV ?

Remark: Will bump the latest OS next week and make a test.

FYI: I was finally able to see kodi on the TV display by switching to the 2nd Microport of the pi box. Unfortunately there is no sound when a video is played and remote control to navigate between Kodi Menu(s) is horribly sloooowwww using CEC.

I fixed my issue after changing the cable to use a HDMI to micro-HDMI cable - https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B087BVC6LN instead of HDMI cable + adapter HDMI to micro-HDMI
