Because of some needed changes in mesa drivers you need a recent nightly build for th 2GiB version. This model was going public after 12.0.1 has been released.

I assume it looks like here:

[RPi5 2GB] Scrambled Display on Sony Bravia X90L

Hey, folks.

Please be patient with me as I barely pay attention to any of tech around TVs, variants of HDMI, variants of 4K/8K, etc. We are simple folks who just want to watch a digitized collection of our old movies.

I have a Bravia X90L series (55") and I just picked up a Pi5 CanaKit with all of the bells-and-whistles to double-sided tape a LibreELEC media center to the back of the TV over the fireplace. The version of LibreELEC is recent -- whatever came out of the business end of rpi-imager…

That was EXACTLY what it looked like! Okay, thanks so much for the response. Problem solved

Cheers!

I have been using LE 11 on a RPi 5B for several months successfully. I just purchased a RPi 5B 2GB board and wished to also run LE 11 on it. The new board will absolutely not take the OS at all. I even tried the latest V 12.0.1 and it crashed (on three separate attempts) during the initial screen/set up pages. I've tried all of the reasonable checks and cross-checks including trying different SD cards, same and different HDMI cables, power supplies between the two devices and it just will NOT load any version of LE at all. I did try a different SD card to run Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspian) and it worked fine. Can't figure it out. Is it possible it's a bad board or is there something obvious about the RPi 5B 2GB boards that I'm missing?

I'd start with investigating the deprecated option warning which is related to ciphers; if those aren't aligned it will probably explain the authentication failure.

I don't understand what a misalignment of ciphers means or how it yields a depreciated option warning and how, in turn, it would have an impact on the authentication. Or what ciphers are actually

I do have a message out to the dev of the VPN Manager as well, but I found it odd that (according to their github) they have not had a new/updated release in the last 7 months. This just started a few weeks (maybe two months?) ago

I used to use the VPN Manager (off and on) all the time and then suddenly about a month or two ago, it stopped working/allowing me to connect.

Using RPi 4B / LibreElec 11.0.4 / VPN Manager Basic Estuary skin /Fresh installation

I do get this pop-up after attempting to connect:

Any advice or instruction greatly appreciated

Thx

Must have gotten it sorted, seems to be working normally again

Trying to download fresh version of LE for RPi4 - keeps timing out

More alarming than that is trying to access the LE settings on other boxes that have LE 10.0.2 already loaded

It's like they can't properly access the update settings (??)

Here you go. Just did a fresh install 9.2.8 with one addon - TVHeadend, tested very briefly.

Playing 1080i live it's OK (as I say only briefly tested).

Playing a recording of Channel 5 (Hellboy broadcast sometime within the last week 1080i h264 bt709 8-bit yuv420p): works until you attempt to skip forward, then the player freezes.

I can still ssh into the box - I've done so while the video player is still frozen (and blank) on the display - here is the full log.

Obvs I don't hold out much hope for a fix (otherwise I'd have done this before!) as someone from the LE team has previously said LE9 is now a dead end, all resources to LE10.

Anyway, you never know, it might be useful.

PS

On further investigation I have the same problem with 720p h264 i.e. I'm getting the same issue with progressive as well as interlaced. 720p hevc on the other hand seems to play just fine, so it looks like it's the MMAL h264 decoder.

Thanks for your input, and yeah, I'm at the same thought that there will be no further development on LE9 and the only hope going forward will be for LE10

Quote from HiassofT

Can you please test with the latest LE10 beta version? LE 9.2 contains a rather old kernel and firmware.

so long,

Hias

Yes, I'm in the process of setting that up now. Unfortunately, it's a slower process getting it to approximate what I have setup using 9.2.7 due to the lack workable addons. Perhaps I can use the PVR Simple Client for the IPTV version, rather than a dedicated addon. Will report back once I have some results.

So here's what they said over at raspberrypi :

Issue with Latest Hardware Revision 1.4 for 4B boards - Raspberry Pi Forums

After trying on the "Official Raspberry OS", the device seems to work correctly. Obviously it's a vastly different OS, but I'm guessing there's no chance they're going to modify the LE distro for such a singular instance

Sorry, Chewitt.

Wasn't sure which, so I posted both logs from within LibreELEC system:

I have a build setup using LE 9.2.7 (also tried 9.2.6) on a RPi 4B 2Gb device. For live TV use, and largely it's been using IPTV addons (but also happens when using PVR Simple Client), the device locks up/freezes and goes black screen when trying access a channel. This typically happens when the channel is loading/buffering. It is ONLY with the newest RPi 4B boards that have a hardware revision noted at b03114 (vers 1.4) - I've tried 9 different boards and its the exact same result each time.

I have a couple of older boards with b03111 (v1.1) and another couple of boards with b03112 (v 1.2) and they work fine.

Cross checking with the same set of three different SD cards, so I don't feel that is the culprit because the results checking back and forth between boards and SD cards is consistent.

Has anyone else experienced/experiencing a similar issue, or have any idea what I could try?

Get a proper cooling for Pi4. Like a Flirc case or something like that.

Appreciated; however, it doesn't answer the question. The RPi4B runs perfectly well within the normal running temps for literally everything else. I pose the question though, not because I am unaware of how to improve the cooling of a SBC but because I wish to better understand the differences of the two OS versions with relation to the RPi boards. Thanks

Running a couple of different versions of LibreELEC (as noted in subject, a couple of instances of LE on a couple of RPI3B+s and a couple of instances on RPi4Bs) I'm using Aeon Nox: Silvo skin on both and have loaded the Netflix Kodi addon (castagnalT/plugon.video.netflix) on both types of set-ups.

The Netflix addon works on both, but I'm finding that the RPi4B gets too hot running this (yes, I'm using heatsinks) whereas the RPi3B+ with the inferior RAM (1 GB vs the RPi4's 2 GB RAM) and processor stays a relatively cool 59 deg C - The RPi4B gets up to 78+ deg C (This has been tried on a couple of different boxes of both types with consistent results)

Why would this be? Is it a matter of something to do with the processing happening on the software side for RPi3B+ and on the hardware side for RPi4B ? Is there a way around this? Are we expecting an update that would alleviate this?

Okay, I found that I had the same circumstance occurring when running LE. But here's the odd thing. I wasn't running any codecs! I have them installed on another RPi3 which is running OE versions (Isengard & Krypton). The only thing I can surmise is that somehow the latest release of LE is transcoding the Mpeg2 stream and thereby forcing the CPU to work like crazy and overheat(??) I tried different SD cards on the same RPi3 box and everytime I ran the HDHomeRun addon for our live TV feed, they all did the same thing (buffer and stop). But everytime I ran the SD card that has the LE 8.01 it would play the live TV feeds fine, albeit with an overheating warning/icon in the top right corner. Weird!

Just curious if this means that someone has placed code in the LE OS that allows the Mpeg2 licenses to be bypassed by transcoding(???!)
