No Wiki for how to use encryption in LE. I only supply the LE image with the missing tools for encryption.

The instruction from you link for LUKS are fine. You dont need (or can) install software, that is by design for LE.

No lsblk in LE (i miss that sometimes too) try blkid or ls -la /dev/disk/by-id/

changelog for release: 12.0.0-#240704
- upstream update
- linux: update to 6.6.35
- lvm2: fix configure modprobe path ( problem found by neeto33 )

my source diff https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…v:12.0.0-240704

neeto33 This release should fix your problem and you should not need /storage/.config/modules-load.d/lvm.conf anymore

neeto33 try to load the needed kernel modules before using lvm. I need to fix that it does not find modprobe to do it on its own.

do this
( cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/md/ ; ls -1 dm-* | grep -Eo '^dm-[^\.]+' ) >/storage/.config/modules-load.d/lvm.conf
and reboot
that will load all device mapper kenrnel modules that the kernel has.
Most likely loading dm-raid and/or dm-mirror should be enough.
Check with lsmod | grep dm if the modules are loaded.

Hope that helps. I do not have right now a LE setup where i can test lvm with raid.

neeto33 sorry for teh lvm fail. That looks like i have to figure out how to put a lvm binary in there that uses the right PATH and not the one it was build in. That will need some testing and probably lots of rebuilds.

JFYI

- issue update https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/i915/kerne…99#note_2469257
- Xe driver has the same problem and so far i could not test 10 bit with Xe (dont know how to set 10 bit)

Here is a LE12 with kernel 6.9.5 to test https://sky42.libreelec.tv/release/12.0/G…020/kernel-6.9/. No encryption or lvm yet.

I managed to build a LE12 with kernel 6.9 from master that you can download here https://sky42.libreelec.tv/release/12.0/G…020/kernel-6.9/.
This is with as less as possible changes. Just 6.9.5 and a systemd patch. No encryption or lvm yet.

smp thanks for the XE driver tip. I did just do that and it does not solve the problem.

All of you that want to test the XE driver with kernel 6.9
- find your PCI id with lspci -nn |grep  -Ei 'VGA|DISPLAY'
- for me that is 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-N [UHD Graphics] [8086:46d1]
- set kernel boot parameter like i915.force_probe=!46d1 xe.force_probe=46d1
- disable 10 bit workaround touch /storage/.dont-activate-10-bit-max (the script will fail because it can not handle xe)
- reboot
- check with lspci -vs 00:02.0 and look for Kernel driver in use: xe

Wow that is very diligent.
I fear i can not add anything to that.
It was cheaper for me (if time is money) to use my Vero 4k+ in the last years for contents that demanded HBR and/or HDR.
Now i use my N100.
But as i said i will setup my i3-8100 one more time and do some test, but for sure not as many as you did.

Krobar Lets drag that LSPCon conversation here. I will dust of my i3-8100 and connect it again to my home cinema setup. One last time just for some tests. I use a N100 ans so far i am very happy (one problem, but i found a workaround).

Krobar You are welcome. I do not have answers or or solutions for questions/problems. I did give up a very long time ago to get my CFL + LSPCon wroking with all the things i want and Audio was a big Problem. I do have IIRC many Adapter with 4x PS176, 1x MC290, 1x MC2907 none was working perfect. The only LSPCon that did work correctly was a NUC8i7 with the MC2800, but that one you can not buy as a standalone adapter.

Just checked my latest LE12 build from today with kernel 6.6.34 and the problem is still there.

version 12.0.0-#240609/11
I did build some LE12 images wrong. As stated in post 22. All not correct build images are deleted from the download server.
This is a full rebuild of all images in 2 stages. All but Allwinner is 240609 and after a small correction Allwinner 240611.

changelog
240609
- upstream update
- corrected build script ARCH to aarch64 for RPi4 RPi5 A64 H5 H6 AMLGX
240611
- Allwinner fix 6.6.32 (deleted now inlcuded patch)

my source diff https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…v:12.0.0-240611

Deleted all the broken (build with wrong ARCH) images from the download server.

sampletv uploaded RPi5 version that works for me in a very short test

RPi4 uploaded too

I think i spotted the culprit. I missed the change to ARCH=aarch64 for the following devices Allwinner (A64 H5 H6), Amlogic (AMLGX), RPi (RPi4 RPi5).
So maybe they are all broken in my LE12 builds. A quick test of RPi4 did work, but RPi5 does not.

I will rebuild all images in the right config / setup and the release a new full set.
