LE 12.0.2 on Raspberry Pi 3: Some video files won't play smoothly

Passwort · August 21, 2025 at 10:20 PM

Hello

I have LE 12.0.2 on my RPI 3 installed. It worked severyl years without any problems.

Since a few weeks, I can witness some problems with video files: The audio plays normal but the video is a kind of stop-and-go which produces an AV-Lag with the audio being first. This is not at all video files but at quite a lot.

I found out that the most recent LE version is 12.2, but I can't update to this version inside LE. 12.0.2 is the newest one I get offered.

Since the library of video files is quite big, I am wonderng, if maybe that is the reason? Can't the CPU handle the database?

Would it be useful to upgrade to RPI 5 or reduce the database?

Or what else can be the reason?

Thanks in Advance.

You can download latest nightly here https://test.libreelec.tv/12.2/RPi/RPi2/

and put it in the update folder on your Pi and reboot.

As for the other problems more info is needed, what files?

Played from where?

Set auto-update to manual then change the release series from LibreELEC 12.0 to LibreELEC 12.2, and then the 12.2.0 release will be available in the list of releases you can update to.
