meson-gxbb-wetek-play2-dvb-s.dtb works

But as "unusual" this tvh problem happens also here.

So i have to use the tvh chan config files from a "scan working" tvh42 setup, where "wizard scan" mysteriously always works.

Finally this syslinux.cfg "ADD" did the trick:

sdhci.debug_quirks2=0x10000

Now the internal eMMC doesnt show up anymore, while external SD-Card still works.

Tested on a Wyse 5470 (The internal eMMC Windows isnt shown anymore) and a Zotac PI335 (with defective internal eMMC).

On the defective PI335 this trick is also needed to boot Libreelec successful from SD-Card (Without the trick LE just stops booting at some point).

hi, i boot libreelec from usb drive.

in file manager my internal windows partitions are shown.

how can i prevent libreelec from touching the internal drive?

this did no work: Remove LibreELEC File Manager Extra Sources

my blkid list:

/dev/mmcblk0p3: LABEL="win" BLOCK_SIZE="512" UUID="EE08F90708F8D017" TYPE="ntfs" PARTUUID="9b5799c0-b0ba-4218-b910-0e4b95ad7aea"

/dev/mmcblk0p1: PARTUUID="2f201421-a7ec-4ffa-a884-3496c6354b44"

is it possible to make a rule, something like this: /dev/mmcblk0p*

so that mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2 and mmcblk0p3 are blocked?

OMG. 2025 and still?

Btw. Kodi makes so many unneeded big bloating "Stuff" with Audio.

Even on my S905 Box with CE 9.0.1 Kodi decodes a 24p 5.1 AC3, then it pitches the audio up to 25fps (sync playback to display) and then transcodes it back to AC3 5.1 640 and sends it via HDMI to my samsung F8090 TV without any problem! Sometimes after seeking the sound is stuttering for sum seconds, but overall it worked.

And an EQ isnt possible?

There are DJ and VJ Tools which pitches Audio and video without nearly any CPU usage.

All of this is done before anything is handed over to the output.

And they dont have pitch fluctuations and other kodi styled problems.

Also kodi dont need "sync playback to display" it just needs a pitch stable PAL speedup.

Get your fav tv show and then pitch it down by 4,xx% then u know how sleepy, boring it sounds watching a 24p tv show with german synchro, where the synchro was done for 25p.

e.g. Lost

Atm Kodi speeds up the Playback with "Sync Playback to Display".

MY better IDEA System would be:

1. It decodes a "block" of RAW a/v to RAM (like cache).

2. It speeds (pitches) up the RAW a/v ON THE FLY from 24p to 25p (like you would do by hand with a audio/video editor).

3. Finally the pre-processed video "block" is handed over to kodis playback engine, where it just playbacks a clean 25p block without all the problems, the overcomplicated "Sync Playback to Display" engine causes.

So it plays the 24p video at 25p block by block.

PLS, HEAD DEVS OF LIBREELEC/KODI. THINK ABOUT MY IDEA!!!

My final Result of "LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-13.0-nightly-20250920-caeeda5.img.gz" is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.

I cant believe that after several days of absolutely übercatastrophic results with all "non nightly" versions from the download page i finally have a perfect running system.

I was really soooo close to pack all together and sell it again.

Now 04:50 in the morning after trying 9.x, 10.x, 11.x (norm/legacy), 12.x (norm/legacy), i desperately loaded "LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-13.0-nightly-20250920-caeeda5.img.gz"

And the first test was verrrrry goood

So now time to sleep.

more test later

I use a Dell Wyse 5070 (Super phat low power consumption Intel hardware) connected to a Samsung F8090 TV 1920x1080@50hz and only problems (sync playback to display is for a pal user of course enabled).

PVR is tvheadend. With amlogic coreelec all super. With windows 10 + kodi 21.2 on the wyse also all super.

With libreelec "Normal" all runs perfect but after 4-8 minutes audio pitch starts fluctuating much and then video stutters and buffering all the time.

With libreelec "legacy" pvr mpeg2 runs jerky stuttering like 10 fps. h264 720p 50fps pvr looks ok but when u do smthg withe kodi interface, interface + video stuttering and jerky.

Dont know but im absolutely not amused about this bad result.

So, is there a hidden switch for clean, displaying 1 frame after the other, absolte smooth video playback in 2025 , like c64 and amiga were able to do in the 80s/90s?

Hi,

does Raspberry Pi4 with Kodi v19 (Matrix) have MPEG2 Hardware Acceleration with Hardware Deinterlacing and a working "Sync Playback to Display"?

On Amlogic Sync Playback to Display isn't working anymore so i want to switch to Pi4.

1 Month later.

Next try.

Latest Libreelec for example for a "Wetek Hub", activating "Sync Playback to Display" does nothing.

With latest Coreelec on a S905 Device its the same.

So whats the Situation on a Raspberry Pi4?

But smthg useless like .ova must be?

Isn't VMWare able to boot .iso too?

So why not making ALL people lucky by removing .ova and exchange it by .iso?

Quote from blueribb

Will this do instead ?

FTP archive directory /pub/mediaplayer/libreelec/

Isn't this just a mirror? Don't see for example 9.0.1 there.

Hello,

i can't connect to archive.libreelec.tv

I can add Ubuntu.iso to my WinSetupFromUSB Stick.

How to do the same with Libreelec Generic x68/x64?

I get a timeout when trying to access archive.libreelec.tv

Libreelec 9.0.1 is the last Version with working "Sync Playback to Display".

"Sync Playback to Display" is something that many PAL Users need and Kodi Developers don't want to fix it:

Sync Playback to Display doesn't do 23.976 to 24 at 60hz anymore (Leia RC)

Why not archive 9.0.1 together with all Libreelec Addons for people who need "Sync Playback to Display"?
