    Did you find a problem with audio on HDMI0?
    I upgraded libreelec to 12.0.2 and I lost audio.

    [RPi4] No Sound on HDMI-0

    No, no problem with audio, but I have an AV receiver so I am using passthrough audio (5.1 channels) and of course I did need to configure that in the audio settings. Also, I am using an Intel-based PC, not a Raspberry Pi. So I suspect that my experience would not be entirely relevant for you. With some assistance I only attempted to run Kodi (not LE though) on a Raspberry Pi once, and it simply could not handle the 4:2:2 recordings, it dropped frames like crazy, and since as I have said I am not a techie type that was as far as I went with it.

  • If you try to play this in any version of Kodi released since March 18 it will immediately crash Kodi hard. If it doesn't for you than maybe it is GPU related although I don't think Kodi uses the GPU for that kind of file, as best I could tell all the decoding was done in software.

    I tried on latest LE12 nightly (2025-04-04) and it works just fine. It uses SW decoding because of YUV422, but if you want HW decoding and save tons of space convert it using:

    Code
    ffmpeg -i test_recording.ts -acodec copy -pix_fmt yuv420p10le -c:v hevc test_recording.mp4

    This will reduce it to ~3.5mb which is a 93% reduction or ~16x smaller.
