Is the first hdmi port close to the power supply HDMI port 1 or port 2?

The one closest to power is named HDMI0 and the other one is HDMI1.

You could use the Etcher AppImage.

I cut the power to the Pi with remotecontrolled poweroutlets like these and the turn it on with same remote.

I have a few more with fans that are very silent.

Homemade from stuff i had lying around, didn't cost me anything.

Not a sound from this cheap fan and Pi5 stays well under 40C.

Pricewise the OSMCremote and a FLIRC is about the same, OSMC RF remote works out of the box.

RF is better than IR, no need for a clear view between remote and device, you cant tuck it away in a cupboard.

On my J5040 with LE12 i can start the device with OSMCremote when its been shutdown.

I use external case like this, very small and discrete.

Not many pc's have built in support for CEC.

Way lot cheaper to buy a remote just for controlling the PC, like this one https://osmc.tv/store/product/osmc-remote-control/ it works out of the box, i have 5 of those.

For normal use there isn't a very big difference in speed, its way faster when rebooting for an update, its about half the time with ssd.

One of my Pi4's is running LibreELEC-RPi4.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20240516-8f6f9a1 (same buildnumber as 20240517) and Gismeteo without any problems.

The usual explanation is that Windows sucks...

Just download and drop the image in the Update-folder and reboot.

I'll probably take mine apart at some point to see if there's a CEC header as the BIOS seems to suggest. If it's there and the header seems to match what the Intel NUC's use, I'll get the Pulse8 adapter for it and test. Ofcourse, I'll also share pictures for the community to see I probably am not the only one that wants this.

If it doesn´'t have the CEC header, I'll try to see if I can get a response from the Pulse8 team, asking if the CEC Adapter is compatible with HDMI 2.0b (or newer) and thus would not disrupt any 4K60 UHD (or better) content. Otherwise, I'll get a wireless keyboard that uses a dedicated RF transmitter which does not rely on the OS. Those should be able to wake up the system.

As a side note, my system doesn't have bad coil whine. It does make a tiny bit of electrical noise, but it's so low volume that I have to put my ear right up to the box in a quiet room to be able to hear it.

For Kodi the OSMC RF-remote works out of the box.

Switched to legacy but no change in high CPU utilization. Debug-Log file attached. Could only mitigate the effect a little bit by disabling CPU turbo mode in BIOS.

Intend to go back to 11.06 by Sunday latest via a fresh installation but have to get my hands on a Windows PC first as I have seen, that the image creator is currently not available for Linux.

Try Etcher, https://etcher.balena.io/#download-etcher

I use OSMC-remotes on 4 Pi4 and 1 Pi5 without any problems, all of them boots from SSD.
