Nightly Builds

    Quote from chewitt

    If there's a bug on multiple Kodi versions it needs to be reported to Kodi devs in their forum; it's clearly not an LE issue.

    I know, i just wanted to make sure if you devs knew smth that might help to remedy it :)

    I just looked at kodi forum and github and yes there are already someone that has taken up the problem and they are working on a fix. Thay have made changes in the DB how paths are etc.

    Edited once, last by palle_c: More info added (February 22, 2026 at 8:50 AM).

    My first impressions of LE 13 on RPi 4 after upgrading:

    • Scrolling through tiles in Estuary feels smoother than ever. This is most noticeable when no video is playing in the background
    • Video mode changes look a bit rougher on TV and seem to take a tad bit more time, especially when stopping video before Kodi interface reappears

    lt's been a very long time since a nightly build, version 12.2, for RPI5! How come?

    There are no further Kodi 21 releases planned, and no further LE12.2 releases planned, so unless there's a random bump to some package (last one I can see was tz-data on 3rd March) nothing changes and there's no reason to build nightlies. There have been some bumps to add-on packages, but those are built/handled separately.

    Thank you for the information! 👍

    I don't know if it's any useful but here's what's happened to me. I upgraded my RPi4 today to 20290329. With this version Kodi crashes when playing video with segmentation fault. The crash log says the error happens in ffmpeg code (libavfilter). I checked the LE changelog and noticed there was FFmpeg update to 8.1 so I reverted to version before the bump (a day earlier) and now it's working again. That's about it.

    (same as #135) LibreELEC nightly of 20290329 (git 14b0c24) crashes on my RPi4 when trying to play any MP4 video.

    Log is here: https://paste.libreelec.tv/enough-lark.log

    For more info, this is from a build with DEBUG=kodi,ffmpeg,Python:

    The RPi crash in current nightlies is related to hardware deinterlacing.

    If you disable that in "Settings"->"Player"->"Allow hardware deinterlacing with DRM PRIME" (you need to enable expert mode to see that) playback works fine and interlaced videos will use the bwdif deinterlacer (which gives better quality than the HW deinterlacer).

    Still, we're trying to figure out what exactly causes the crash and fix that to get HW deinterlacing back (RPi2/3 don't have the CPU power to deinterlace HD videos in software).

    so long,
