Does exactly nothing?!?!

Hello, I try to install libreelec on my raspi 4 but exactly nothing happens.

I get no signal via HDMI, the raspi wont connect with my wifi (raspbian os with the same settings will connect directly), when I try to connect via ethernet, ssh can't connect. tried different powersupplies and cables, no difference...

Happens on different SD Cards and happens with 9.2 and 10.0, flashed via balenca, imager and libretool - still nothing happens.

so what the heck is the problem? getting mad already...

Use Etcher to write the microSD.

I already wrote that I used balena etcher without success...

As I can only post every 40 Minutes... -> Yes RPi Os boot and connects to wifi.

OK, if you say so . Does any other OS (like RPi OS) boot?

Are you using HDMI-0 (next to USB-C) to connect to TV?

PS: You can post faster, but a mod (like me) has to check beginner posts before publishing.

yes, tried the other hdmi port as well. Perhabs my cable is faulty, get a new one tommorrow.

But this does not explain, why I cant get a wifi or ssh connection as well. Set a blank raspOs with the same files (wifi/ssh) and it works out of the Box.

I've heard about a bug, that actually breaks the system when no HDMI connection has been established. So it's definitely a good idea to try a different HDMI cable.

PS: Possible reason, why RPi OS boots: It doesn't use 4K resolution, but LE does. Make sure it's an HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 cable, if you connect it to a 4K TV.

On first startup did you get taken to the setup wizard where it connects you to the internet, gives you the choice to turn on ssh etc? If no, you probably need to go to the LibreELEC Configurator program addon to configure.

Does exactly nothing?!?!
