    Source: https://libreelec.tv/2022/03/09/libreelec-matrix-10-0-2/

    hi, unfortunately the 10.0.2 update is not (yet) displayed, can someone tell me exactly which files I need to trigger a manual update via Samba?

    edit: oh ok, i can use the whole .img........ /shrug ^^

    hi Gerri83, you download this https://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-10.0.2.img.gz and put it in your home directory in a folder called .update. create it if it doesn't exist. then reboot and it'll be detected and installed. creating a backup before is recommended just in case something goes wrong.

    Hi,

    as Gerri83, I don't get displayed the current version 10.0.2 in the available versions. I know, how to update over the command line, but I'm curious to know, if it is an issue on my side or are the updates not available on the GUI yet?

    Thnx for answering

    It is not yet available via the LibreElec settings add-on. There is usually a short delay, it is normal.

    Thanks, that's what I hoped it is. So I have not to search for a problem on my side, which not exist.

    we try to ensure that the release version is stable and no additional bugs get included, so we wait a bit before we enable the autoupdate
    for example the 10.0.1 update never autoupdated because of some problems at some setups

    it is impossible to test all those setups the users actually use :)

    I tried LE10.0.2 on my RPi 3B+ yesterday, but the performance was not satisfactory. When I played 1920x1080P mp4 files, it was dropping frames and sometimes the video and audio were not in sync. Later I switched back to LE9.2.8. Bummer. :(

    Hi, great work so far.

    I updated manually from 10.0.1 to 10.0.2 on an RPi4 4GB. RPi4 -> HDMI 0 -> older Yamaha Receiver (max 1080p) -> Sony KD-55A1 4K Monitor on HDM3/ARC.

    Can't get the video to work on 10.0.2. Installs fine and I can still ssh.

    Here are the details:

    LibreElec 10.0.1

    pastekodi

    Any ideas why video doesn't work?

    cubalibre looks like some kind of DRM problem; the board doesn't see any valid modes on the HDMI connection - none are listed in modetest and the kodi.log shows DRM errors. See if adding "video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60" to params in cmdline.txt works?

    Probably the video codec was H.265/HEVC.

    Kodi 18 (and previous) on RPi2/3 was capable of decoding some H265 streams up to 1080p due to very specialized decoder optimizations.

    Kodi 19 cannot use these optimizations, it uses normal software decoding, therefore performance for H265 goes down significantly on these platforms.

    You can read more about this elsewhere. People who need the old H265 performance should stay on LE9.

    Thank you for 10.0.2 It works fine on my Raspberry PI 4 including Sandman's add on 1.4. :thumbup:

    The only missing is VNC service which has been excluded :thumbdown:

    PKG_ADDON_BROKEN="Raspberry Pi VNC was removed."

    I hope it will be added in some next release ;)

    I tried your suggestion, unfortunately no change. Could it be the receiver? It is an older Yamaha RX-V467.

    Tried also to create an EDID under 10.0.1 and then update to 10.0.2. Didn't work either....

    Update:

    Connected the RPi4 directly to the Sony TV KD55A1 with no receiver in between and updated to 10.0.2. Same error. The Sony is on the latest Android. The HDMI cable is the original Raspberry one.

    Also updated the EEPROM under 10.0.2:

    Only way I got it to display was with in /flash/config.txt but that defeats the purpose:

    dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d

    so it seems vc4-kms-v3d.dtbo related which causes:

    i have a problem with my MagentaTV Streams since 10.0.2, the SD Streams skip and stutter (reproduceable)

    The HD Streams work fine, and all worked fine under 10.0.1

    i opened a thread under Bug-Reports:

    Thread

    Skipping/Stuttering on SD IPTV with 10.0.2

    Hello!

    I have a weird problem with my RPi4 since i updated to LE 10.0.2

    I watch TV Streams via TV-Headend-Server and TV Headend Client. It worked fine with LE 10.0.1

    Since 10.0.2, the 720x576@50 streams started to stutter and to skip frames. The 1280x720@50 streams work fine, so it doesn‘t seem to be a performance issue. I tested using force_turbo=1 and/or core_freq_min=500 in the config.txt though to no avail.

    So, HD-Streams@50fps work fine, while SD-Streams@50fps don’t.

    I turned off the new…
