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?

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"?

Finally more than 1 year later, whats the official ssh command to hard reset a libreelec device?

yeah, linux rocks

theese were the things i discovered from first view on a nexbox a95x:

lan network wasn't there after initial boot.

i disabled wireless, disabled and reenabled wired lan but nothing showed up under connections.

after a reboot it was there.

10bit video has 8bit banding. is there a command available?

coreelec shows video correctly without those banding artifacts.

can rockchip devices do custom resolutions 1280x1024 maybe even at 50hz?

GDPR-2:

you say that amlogic has an internal sync mechanism.

do devs have any control about it?

could it be used to pitch up video from 23,976fps or 24,000fps to 25,000fps?

Some people need to spend a bit more time reading the explanations at the bottom of the Kodi Settings screens:

Sync Playback to Display:

Synchronise video and audio to the refresh rate of the monitor. VideoPlayer won't use passthrough audio in this case because resampling may be required.

For example:

If you do not have a TV with 24p refresh switching capabilities you can...

Set a Kodi GUI refresh rate of 50Hz.

24p streaming video will be sped up to 25 frames per second and output at 50Hz.

All Audio is resampled to resynced to 25fps to match the sped up video.

You might also hear an audio pitch change.

"VideoPlayer won't use passthrough audio in this case"

maybe this is a little bit outdated?

it works with "libreelec for x86/x64" and "libreelec 8.2.3.1" without any problem.

audio is decoded. then all channels are speeded up from 24p to 25p (sync playback to display and threshold for pitch correction 100) and then it is "encoded" back to ac3 (enable dolby digital ac3 transcoding) .

sad that i have problems with dvbviewer client on 8.2.3.1. otherwise this would be a perfect solution for me.

Go and read "Adjust Display Refresh Rate" vs "Sync Playback to Display"

Use adjust display refresh rate.

In some cases (e.g. german Lost TV series) native 24p playback is bad!

You have pitched down sound.

How about a "secret" command which can be put to autostart.sh to still enable "Sync Playback to Display"?

For me it works well with 2 channel audio output.

When i set Output to 5.1 or use Passtrhough with ac3 transcoding the Problems begin.

Because as it has been said more than 1000x that these option causes poor video playback.

Syncing playback to display is already done by default by libamcodec, there is absolutely no need to turn it on in Kodi unless you want to come onto the forums and complain of poor quality playback and then to waste our time whilst we try and debug what is causing it.

Sorry for the rant in advance.

and why does 24p material have the once per second 24p stutter on 50hz display when "Syncing playback to display" is disabled ?

there are people living in europe with a tv system called "pal".

many tv series on 24p german blurays have pitched down sound because the audio was created for 25fps tv broadcasting.

for example tv series "lost". the german version in 24p is like a sleeping pill.

so, how can we run 24p with 25fps to match pals 50hz with new coreelecs?

everythings installed from game starter but when i run emulation station or retroarch it asks me to quit kodi and when i hit "yes" ce 8.90.1 just reboots.

Almost every post or 'experience' you have made here is about 1 problem or another, poor signal, frozen picture, not responding, not rebooting, jerky picture, buffering issues, partitions not resizing, cec not working.

You don't heed the advice you are given so I suggest you buy another device for Kodi because you are just not going to get the experience you are looking for, maybe an RPi3b+ would better suit your needs they are a quality piece of kit that will be give you wonderful 4k playback, working HDR, buttery smooth streaming and super fast wifi for your hardcore pornography collection.

most of the things also happen with le 8 and 9 on a kaby lake setup.

so i will keep my mouth shut now.

A small experience Story:

I felt asleep while 4k tv channel was running via DVBViewer Addon.

Thunderstorm came.

Poor Signal.

I woke up.

Picture Frozen.

I tried to switch the Channel 2-3 Times.

Nothing happens.

Then the Box didn't respond to Inputs anymore.

I SSHed into the Box and did a "reboot".

It shutted down but didnt came back.

I had to disconnect and reconnet the Power Plug.
