  • [RPi4] Out of Memory Error

    The thing is... i see my dad maybe 4 times a year. Thats where this machine is. So i can not flash a new image to his sd card and do a lot of stuff. I will see what is possible. I have to do all remote.

    Can i flash such an image with a command and all settings keep the same?

    This is LE13 (master) not LE12 but it's the same Kodi version in the image (not Piers, yet). Remind me in another couple of days and let's see if memory has substantially increased.

    Is this default kodi without anything "special"? If yes, i assume he must go with the 4gb version.

  • [RPi4] Out of Memory Error

    The 4gb version would not fix the problem, but it would be an ok workaround, because i assume if 1gb is enough for 1h watching, 4gb should be enough for 4h watching :P

    he usually watches for 2-3h

    i will provide those files/urls asap.

    edit: i just called him, i will gather those files with a remote session on friday

  • [RPi4] Out of Memory Error

    hi, i have a rpi4 for my father. he connects using a vpn connection to my router and so he can use my tv stream. i configured everything and all looks good, but after about 1h he has to reconnect everytime. so i checked some logs and noticed, that there is probably some sort of memory leak. i ordered the 1gb version, thought thats enough, now i regret that. i assume with 2 or more gb of memory that would not occur, but its just a guess.

    the interesting part of the journal is here:

    the dmesg is attached.

    anyone an idea what we could do (software side). i already thought about asking in a repair cafe if anyone could replace the memory with a 4gb chip. but not sure if they have the equipment for smd/bga

  • CEC problems on rpi5 with LE nightly

    I probably forgot to mention: when i use the odroid n2 instead of the rpi5, all works fine (power on/power off of everything), so the other devices work as expected. Not sure what coreelec uses or if there are even any alternatives to libCEC (probably not?).

    I will try this 10 minutes tea thing and make a little pray ;)

    cec client mode is set to "Wiedergabegerät" (replay device?), i assume/hope thats correct.

    IIRC it hasn't worked for my configuration to shutdown KODI via TV off in LE12.

    I am now at LE12 and it also does not work on my side. But not sure if i have everything configured correctly. Can you tell me whats this client cec mode is? output of cec-client, if it helps in any way. And you are correct about your guess, my TV is the "root", then the AVR, then all other devices e.g. rpi5, nintendo switch, pc etc. on the avr hdmi ports

    Guess i can not help you in any way e.g. providing any data or so? Unfortunately, CEC is a killer feature for me :-/
    Guess i have to go back to amlogic and coreelec then :-/

  • CEC problems on rpi5 with LE nightly

    Unfortunately, at least in nightly, the settings are somehow not saved. What i was able to achieve is that when i poweroff the rpi in the menu, the tv turns off too. But when i power on the TV, nothing happens with the rpi. When i power off the TV, also nothing happens with the rpi. I checked the settings and noticed, that after a restart, most of them are set back to default, e.g. i configured its connected to TV / AVR, but when i reboot, it states only TV, which is wrong. I assume thats the reason why its not working.

    I will test maybe this evening or tomorrow how LE12 behaves.

    Click at Settings -> System -> Input -> Peripherals -> CEC Adapter to setup the AVR behavior.

    You listed that already as second posting and thats where i was from the beginning, see my initial posting.

    Unfortunately, it does not change the behaviour, as i dont know how i should configure all those settings.

    Its german, so i try to translate those entries: report kodi as primary source: checked, hdmi port number 1 and 2 (both cec adapters are configured in the same way, atm 2), wake up device when screen saver is deactivated checked, connected with hdmi-device: av-receiver, activated: checked, wake up av receiver when kodi gets activated: check, when powering off kodi report as inactive: checked, when poweroff kodi then explicit (avr + tv), on start of kodi explicit (avr+tv).

    I have the feeling this is just so hardcore broken, that it does not work at all. I thought i go to the other cec adapter settings for configuration to check if they are maybe swapped (e.g. the first cec adapter is for the second port) and noticed, they are equal in also using the hdmi port which makes the possibility to configure both useless, as its only possible to configure one hdmi port, because the other entry will have the exact same configuration (including the same hdmi port). I guess thats what HarryH meant.

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

  • CEC problems on rpi5 with LE nightly

    I replaced now the adapter with the cable and used the first port, close to the power supply, but still the same behaviour.

    I am not sure if this is a nightly-problem or also in the stable. For me, unfortunately, a killer. I will see if i can get a new SD card for testing and see what happens with latest stable.

  • CEC problems on rpi5 with LE nightly

    Oh wow, i was not aware of that. So its like a case which connects to the micro-hdmi-port and extends it to a full sized hdmi port? i have never seen something, but sounds very reasonable! thanks for that information! do you maybe have a link to such case?

  • CEC problems on rpi5 with LE nightly

    how should a RPI case change anything in my current situation? I need a new mini-hdmi adapter then. The mini-hdmi-adapter blocks the power port of the rpi5 when i use the adapter in the first hdmi slot. Or do you mean "cable" and that was a typo?

    I would love to use such an adapter but seems like its nearly impossible, they are much more expensive (in switzerland) than a cable itself... i ordered now https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/…hz-mit-42870548 and hope that works.

  • CEC problems on rpi5 with LE nightly

    Unfortunately i must use the second hdmi port. I use a micro-hdmi-to-hdmi-adapter and this would overlap the power supply if i would use the first hdmi slot.

    So its broken atm in nightly and i assume nothing i can do. Just wondering why its not default like anyone would expect, e.g. when powering off the TV, power off the rpi5 and vice versa.
