OK flawless was not correct.
Sorry.
I use 2 workarounds

1. for 4K 23.976Hz bug post #46 the script to restrict it to 10 bit (or one of my images that where the script is included)
2. HDMI resync my Denon X6700H
- download HDMI resync script
- extract in /storage
- reconfigure your remote (a button you dont need, for me Voice Search)
- on that button i put with a custom keyboard.xml the script for HDMI resync
- keyboard.xml entry <browser_search>System.Exec(/storage/hdmi-switch/bin/switch-23-50-60.sh)</browser_search>
- every time i start TV/Denon after 5sec wait i push that button and sometimes when i lose HDMI signal

This is a close as i can get to flawless with a x86_64 that does HDR10 too. 1st with a N100 and shortly switch to a N350.
As far as i know the 4K 23.976Hz bug and Denon HDMI resync problem does not go away with LE13 with the 6.18 kernel. If i hab seen signs that it works i would have build a Generic LE12.2 with kernel 6.18.

original LE 12.2.1 should be perfect on your N150.

Running my 12.2.1-#251031 kernel 6.16.12 on a Z350-0db N350 with C States enabled flawless.

For my knowledge chewitt unit file looks absolutely the right way, but i spotted a letter missing. He does not run my image and could not check and see that mdadm is in /usr/sbin/mdadm not /usr/bin/mdadm.

So take chewitt unit file and correct the path of mdadm should do the job.

write a systemd mount unit file like

https://wiki.libreelec.tv/how-to/mount_network_share

but for a local Filesystem

the kernel should have already started the raid 5

check with cat /proc/mdstat

uploaded full 12.2.1 release

still very busy at work

I uploaded a 12.2 up2date release

sky42 LibreELEC community builds

release post will follow when I find time. very busy at work since 4 month.

*** for testing only ***

please don't ask for support, it is just the 1st compiled version i have done
this is just for testing
i only use Generic so far

version 12.2-preview-#250803 of the upcoming LE 12.2
full set of images for Allwinner Amlogic Generic NXP Rockchip RPi

If you have trouble try https://test.libreelec.tv/12.2/

download link https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/12.2/
based on https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…/libreelec-12.2
my source diff https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…ibreelec-12.2.x

upstream updates from 12.0 to 12.2 include e.g.
- kernel 6.12 RPi
- kernel 6.16 for all other
- mesa 2.5
- and many more

I started a new job a moth ago and I am pretty busy, but I plan to update my LE12 and maybe even with a new kernel for generic.

So far there is no really good reason to build a new Generic.

Yesterday a openssl update was merged and for that I will most likely spin up a new release.

hcliec001 So far no Ryzen at home ever. Lots of Opteron and EPYC at work, but without any use of graphics.

Sorry i can not speak for things like saturation, because my eyes are pretty bad.

To be fair i use N100, RPi4, RPi5. If somthing is fishy on m Z100 i try one of the RPi's.
And for DolbyVision i use a CE S905X4 box.

My Z100 with the N100 is my daily driver, a bit faster then a RPi5 and i am fairly happy with it. I found just one problem and a workaround for that.
Intel Alder Lake 2160p @ 23.976 Hz passthrough HD Audio dropouts (i7-1270p/N100)

I did build a LE12 with kernel 6.12 from master and added yesterday the r8169 driver from 6.13.11. This is a bit hacky but i hope it works. On my Z100 with 8125B NIC it works.

to try download version 12.0.2-#250416 from https://sky42.libreelec.tv/release/12.0/G…ic/kernel-6.12/
release post is here LE 12.0 added lvm2, luks (dm-crypt, veracrypt), mdraid, ext4 encryption

I am fairly confident RedHat will backport 8125D support to 6.12 over time, because that is the kernel for the new RHEL 10 that will be released most likely this quarter of 2025. Then i can probably copy a less hacky driver from there 6.12 kernel source code.

*** for testing only ***

version 12.0.2-#250416-6.12
for Generic only
This version is build to check if Realtek NIC 8125D is working e.g. in the NUC 14 Essential.
On my Z100 with 8125B the NIC is still working (since yesterday).
I needed to disable some sourcecode from the 6.13.11 r8169 driver to build it with 6.12, but i think it should work without.
