Thanks! That fixed it.

I updated to 10.0.3. Turned on debug and started the mkv from the non Emby source. Problem is still there.

Here is the debug log http://ix.io/4gSd

Here are the results from "top" and "perf top" while displaying the TestVid.mkv video from the non Emby source (SMB).

How do I upgrade to 10.0.3? I'm normally in auto update and it hasn't updated automatically past 10.0.2. If I set update to manual it doesn't show as a version.

Tried using the other HDMI port but no change (I did reboot).

Tried using a normal added video source (non Emby) but that didn't change anything. The video name for that test is Testvid.mkv and is a copy of the original 4K movie. FWIW I have Emby set to use native paths.

debug log is at http://ix.io/4gS3

Oh, this does appear to be a resource issue on the RPi4. When in debug the CPU usage is consistently in the 90% on all 4 CPUs and regularly will hit 100%.

I've been using NFS. I added another source to access the TestVid.mkv file using CIFS (direct, not Emby). Same result.

I tried whitelisting it along with the other suggestions in the wiki, no joy.

Hi,

I have a RPi4 running 10.0.3. When I try to play 4K content it is choppy and unwatchable (I do get source is too slow messages). Regular HD is OK.

Connection is 1Gb.

I have the RPi connected to the same switch my workstation is connected to. If I play the same video file on my workstation using VLC it plays flawlessly. VLC shows 0 lost/corrupted frames, even after playing for an extended while.

Logs from the RPi are attached.

Is this too much for the RPi?

Bueller? Bueller?

My Intel based HTPC (Gigabyte H370I) has a HDMI 2.0 port and a HDMI 1.4 port. My Pre/Pro (Marantz) only supports HDMI 1.4. This has been OK but I'm now looking at picking up a 4K OLED. I'd like to avoid buying a new Pre/Pro.

So I was thinking of connecting the OLED directly to the HTPC 4K port and connecting the Pre/Pro to the HDMI 1.4 port. Will Libreelec allow this? Would there be any sync issues? I'm not using CEC (have wifi remote for control).

Tried w/2 different skins and everything else seems to be working fine.

I have the current (9.2.3) RPi4 Libreelec loaded on a RPi4. The Display it is connected to is a 720 plasma. The screen is going beyond the edges so I went to do a Display Calibration. Tried 2 skins (Xonfluence and Estuary) and neither has the selection System -> Settings -> Display Calibration/Video Calibration. The option for the number of buffers is there but not video calibration.

Is there a work around?

I ended up pairing from the GUI and then confirmed it from the command line.

Hi,

I have a RPi 3 running LibreELEC (official): 9.2.3 (RPi2.arm). It is using the Smarti Pi Touch 2 chassis and the RPi touchscreen and the Estouchy skin. I noticed that when I go to Settings -> Libreelec config there is no back button. You're stuck unless you have a keyboard attached or do a power cycle.

Fortunately I have a spare keyboard for the very few times I go there.

Ahh, I figured it out. The Rpi is very slow. I was seeing it had paired on the GUI but it actually wasn't. I was finally able to get a true pairing and it now works as I wanted. This is a pretty cool setup for my workshop.

Hi,

I'm setting up a music only system Rpi B w/Libreelec RPi2.arm-9.2.3 using the SmartiPi Touch 2 case & touchscreen display. It is working fine except for a Bluetooth issue. I'm planning on using a Marshall Stanmore bluetooth speaker. The goal is for the Libreelec/RPi to use the Marshall as its default speaker.

I went into LE and paired the speaker. It shows as connected. I changed the audio to Pulseaudio Bluetooth. No sound comes out. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong or what I need to change? How do I make the Marshall the default speaker or does that just "happen"?

Quote from Menrad

I found a cheap bluetooth 4.0 usb dongle, works fine with libreelec 8.2.4 on my setup. Cost me only 1.75 € !

If you are going to post please be helpful. Telling us you found one does absolutely no good when you don't tell us the Manufacturer/model.

I have Libreelec set up so that if I select a video it goes to the information screen. I can then play/view info from there. I can also press play instead of select the video will then play.

However with this setting PVR playback of recordings doesn't behave the same. If I have the recording list up and press play the current selection doesn't play. If I select it I get an info screen, but cannot play from there. The only way I can play a recording is to through the menu. Is there a way to have the PVR recordings work as regular videos?

BTW - I'm using the Xonfluence skin.

I suspect it isn't something part of Kodi, but something in the OS. After some research I discovered there could be a SSH log file in /var/log but it isn't on Libreelec.

Ugh. Turns out SSH is timing out no matter if I'm running PVR or not. With PVR running a stream it just times out immediately.

Isn't Libreelec supposed to make management of Kodi easier?

I have a 8.1 beta install on a Intel NUC. I'm running xonfluence and PVR WMC (ServerWMC on a server). The system works fine. I came across an somewhat obscure issue with SSH though.

With PVR addon installed but not watching any PVR streams SSH works fine. However if I have a PVR stream running SSH refuses connections. If I have a SSH connection running and start a PVR stream the SSH connection is disconnected. Any ideas?

FWIW the log is attached. In the session I created the log from I booted in debug, started a PVR stream, then tried several times to SSH in.
