I’m using Libreelec 11.0.3 Generic.x86_64 official on a very old Asus Chromebox with an i3-4010U, just for simple 1080p playback (which the Chromebox is excellent at). At first I thought my problem was kbecause of the old hardware, but now I’m not so sure.
The issue: resuming a video currently in progress changes the refresh rate, then gives a screen with the prior UI - and no black screen or video playback window at all. OSD cannot be brought up, but I can stop the video and return to normal. Starting a video from the beginning works fine, and pausing or skipping back/forth in a playing video is also fine.
Note that this didn’t happen on the last Kodi version I had on this thing, which was v17-based.
The first issue is that as soon as I enable debug logging, everything works fine. Turn it off and it breaks again. WTF?
Disable refresh rate changing and things also works fine. Okay… so I start testing further, and find that the video will actually start playing if I wait 30-40 seconds. Also, if the “delay after refresh rate setting” is set between 0 and 0.5 seconds, the issue does not occur. Even a couple tenths longer and the issue crops up.
For now the easy fix is to just disable the pause on rate switching, since the TV doesn’t really need it. This doesn’t seem like an important issue, and it kinda hard to figure out when I can’t provide a useful log… but I thought I’d report it anyways.
