[RPi4] Key Repeat Rate

  • Hi everybody,

    After having used an RPI3B with LE for many years, I decided to upgrade to an RPI4B because of H265 harware decoding.

    I installed LibreELEC-RPi4.aarch64-12.2.1.img and everything seems to work fine apart from a little detail.

    With LE 9.x.x and the RPI3B the repeat rate of the keyboard was fine but now with the RPI4B and LE 12.x.x the repeat rate is way too fast.

    I have been looking for a setting in Kodi but I can't find one, I found only a setting for the layout/language.

    Where/how can I set the keyboard repat rate?

    Thanks!

  • I use a non standard remote control with a custom lirc configuration which always worked fine with LE9.
    In order to exclude a possible problem with lirc or it's configuration, I connected a wireless keyboard which uses an RF usb dongle.
    I also tried with a traditional wired usb keyboard. In all cases, the repeat rate is too fast and the repeat delay too short.
    For example, when I navigate through the network folders, I need to pay attention not to press the button too long because it will enter and immediately exit the directory because the repeat delay is too short.
    I'm considering to put back my old RPI3B with LE9 because operating Kodi becomes too annoying.
    I find it strange that I'm the only one experiencing this bug.

    Btw, I encountered also another bug in LE12 which I'll discuss in a separate thread.

  • Running the Kodi GUI at 4K resolutions (as per the other issue thread) probably doesn't help the GUI responsiveness. I wouldn't be suprised if running things at 1080p improves the remote situation?

  • I applied the setting you advised (video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60D) and rebooted but it didn't affect the keyboard repeat rate or delay. Let me know if you have any other ideas I could try.
