Hello everyone! is there any way to run libreelec 11 on the latest hardware revision of the raspberri pi 5 8gb ram. When I install it I always have black screen and it doesn't load anymore. Thanks in advance (I need to install version 11 and not 12 or 13).
[RPI5 8GB RAM] is there any way to run libreelec 11 ?

It will not be possible to run released versions of LE11 because the latest hardware (and CPU stepping) requires mesa changes that do not exist in the embedded version of mesa. There are also boot firmware changes required, although that's less complicated as files from newer releases can be literally drag/dropped on the older SD card. I can't comment on whether newer mesa is a simple or complicated. Changing the package in the buildsystem is simple, but whether it then compiles or fails on other dependencies is the $64,000 question. There is no HOWTO guide or writeup on doing that kind of thing, and I doubt project staff will leap to volunteer at spoon-feeding instructions.
Why LE11? .. I can't think of any good reason not to use something newer
