As I've said, it's not based on your implementation of LE9. I didn't use any OMX components to render. I also didn't use port connections between decoder and renderer. But video_render component crashes on some occasions even if input port buffer release callback happens. I tried to flush renderer queue on input format change. I think the problem happens because there is always a single buffer left in the renderer, and I can't tell if it's used by firmware or not before disabling/flushing the port.

Is there any reliable way to determine the buffer is no longer needed by the renderer component?

Just to clarify LE9 has two independent HW acceleration methods, MMAL and openmax.

The (default) MMAL decoder uses the MMAL renderer and doesn't use openmax in any way.

MMAL works with buffers that you submit (mmal_port_send_buffer) and receive (through callback function given to mmal_port_enable).

The rule is once you've submitted a buffer it is owned by the firmware until it is returned in the callback.

I could create pull requests for all, if it's appropriate.

No need. A fork is fine for a custom release like this. A tag (of each tree) for any released binary would be useful for associating source code with binary.

Since I've caught your attention, do you have any recommendations for "mmal_port_disable" and "mmal_port_flush" infinite lock-ups?

I'm afraid these sort of issues are hard to debug.

The mmal buffers that are submitted and retrieved from mmal calls include linked list pointers.

If you ever do anything wrong with one of these, like submitting it twice, freeing it when it's still in use etc, you'll likely get a subsequent crash or hang.

Do you get the same behaviour on a genuine LE9 image? If not, then what are the differences?

If the video files are HDR and the projector doesn't support HDR, then the colours will be wrong.

This has never worked on a Pi.

This is an unofficial test build of LibreELEC 11.0.1 with RPi3 HW acceleration support.

Interesting.

You should include a link to the source you have built from (both to give users an idea of what they are running, and to comply with the GPL2 licence).

Do you mean "adjust display refresh rate to match video"?

Or "sync playback to display"?

The former is generally recommended. The latter isn't.

Just tested a IFO file on LE11, no problem.

Can you try copying your DVD folder to sdcard or usb stick?

I suspect that will play, and your issue is nfs releated.

The log from LE11 with debug enabled would also be useful.

thanks for great release, only thing I miss now is non-crazy white subtitles for hdr on rpi4, any progress on that?

Have you trid:

Settings/Player/Subtitles - Official Kodi Wiki

It doesn't work for all forms of subtitles (e.g. not for bitmapped) but it may help.

Enabling debug in kodi, restarting kodi and then using pastekodi will get more information.

This looks significant.

Your edid should describe the modes supported by the display. Obviously a block of zeros isn't helpful.

Capturing the same pastekodi log on LE10.0.4 and comparing may be informative.

Use the "pastekodi" script to generate logs and post the link.

It's crashing in inputstream.adaptive so may be best to report here.

Include the crash log.

A debug enabled LibreELEC build may provide more details on the crash.

This is the github issue, which includes a test build that should fix it:

[BUG] No audio option for Hifiberry AMP 3 selectable · Issue #7557 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv

Describe the bug I have followed the instructions to add the Hifiberry AMP 3 overlay to get the audio output option in the list to be selected, but I don't…

github.com

My first guess would be a hdmi cable that can't handle the pixel frequency of the hdmi mode.

What hdmi is mode is running? (e.g. 4kp60 or 4kp30). A debug enabled log file would answer some of these questions.

As test, can you force kodi to 1080p60 (set that is system/display settings and disable adjust refresh rate in video settings).

Does the video now play with correct colours?

Quote from marantz

Is this fix in le 11 nightly? I can provide sample mkv .with green artifacts

Yes, nightly build is Nexus and contains the fix.

Could be this issue which is fixed on Nexus builds.

I tested a 64-bit build of LibreELEC and it does improve VC-1 playback.

Hopefully LibreELEC (Orion) 12 will be 64-bit by default.

It's not in the 20.0-Nexus tag (it was the first commit after that tag...) which I believe current LE nightlies are using.

You need to wait for the next kodi bump from LE.

Opus is a common audio encoding and is supported.

The crash is in libass, so it's subtitle related.

Are you able to create a cutdown file that exhibits the crash?

It will obviously need to include the subtitle track.

(e.g. use ffmpeg to create a 2 minute cut of file, and confirm it still crashes).
