verified 4k HDR playback UHD BD remux TrueHD Atmos played perfect too in a 30min test
verified autostart.sh workaround activation and uploaded my autostart.sh to https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/proptest/ -
smp you are the man: forcing 8 or 10 bit both fixes the problem. What impact has it to only use 10 bit instead of 12?
Forced 8 bit test 30min and 10 bit 60min without a audio glitch playing 1080p BD remux TrueHD Atmos at 2160p with 23.976 Hz with audio pass through.
Tested with my LE 11.0.4-#231221 Generic-BT2020 on my ASUS PN42. Most likely any LE11 or LE12 will be fixed by that.
new workaround
- download proptest for LE11 or LE12 https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/proptest/
- make it executable (and rename if you like)
- run it and find out your active Connector number
- systemctl stop kodi && ./proptest <your number> connector 191 10 && systemctl start kodi
- dont forget to enable 3840x2160 @ 23.976 Hz in you whitelist
A more convenient way of doing that would be put proptest <your number> connector 191 10 in autostart.sh
I will test some more.
Has anybody any pointers where i could open a bug for that? Intel media driver, linux kernel or Intel guys who maintain the linux parts for Intel. I am not sure what software part ist responsible for that problem, so i dont know where to open the bug. -
w46n3r your hint was very helpful and works for me too (at least the fist 10min)
RE: HDR on x86 Hardware
Just disabling 2160p @ 23.976 Hz and play it at 2160p @ 24 Hz fixes the audio problem and HD audio pass though still works despite the not matching frame rate / refresh rate.
Workaround settings LE11:
System -> System -> Display
- Resolution 3840x2160
- Refresh 24 Hz
- GUI resolution limit 1080
- Whitelist what you want BUT without 3840x2160 23.976 Hz
for me that is 3840x2160 in 60, 59.94, 50, 30, 29.97, 25, 24
System -> Player -> Videos
- Adjust display refresh rate On Start / Stop
What does it do? If kodi does not find a matching refresh rate in the whitelist it plays in the screen resolution / refresh rate that is on right at starting playback. We set screen resolution to 3840x2160 with 24 Hz and change refresh on start and stop. So at start kodi find a better resolution / refresh rate it switches, but if it does not find a better one it uses the 3840x2160 with 24 Hz the GUI is running right now at start.
LE12 behaves a little different and i had not the nerv to test it trough, but in LE12 you can change playback resolution in the settings for the playback (LE11 does not have that).
Now i go back an finish the movie to see if it really works the whole time. -
orby you said here
RE: HDR on x86 Hardware
"audio at 24hz and gives random blips research looks to be the linux driver at fault for that"
can you point me to the right software that is the fault or even better a open bug?
That reads like the problem of this thread. -
smp tested YCBCR444 patch: that does not change the problem.
Oh and another question how do i force 8 Bit or 10 Bit. I have no idea.
Edit: I verified the YCBCR444 on the Info screen of my Denon and there is now YCBCR444 and not RGB both with 12 bit
Edit 2: found libdrm proptest binary in my buildtree and copied it to the N100 and here is the output https://paste.libreelec.tv/elegant-cockatoo.log -
Da Flex thanks for the info, but at the moment i dont feel going down that rabbit hole
smp How do i edit the edid and change "SCDC Present"? Nerver done that before. I just refreshed my edid collection https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/edid/. Kernel LE12 with your patch is building. Thanks. -
Oh boy get kodi on Ubuntu 23.10 with PT working was lets say interessting.
So i have now kodi 20 from the team kodi ppa running in 2160p @ 23.976 Hz. That did take way longer then expected.
- fixed framerate because not switching with wayland
- no HDR
and HD Audio PT has the same problem
It is ridiculous how hard it is get PT running on Ubuntu even with the team kodi ppa.
I ended up with starting kodi with KODI_AE_SINK=ALSA kodi
What a colossal waste of time.
Any other helping suggestions?
If not i give up to get N100 running.
That is very sad !!!! -
At the end of the week I will give up and send my Intel N100 back.
Anybody any helping tips whom I could ask for fixing this Intel problem or what part of software could be the problem? So I can ask there.
If not I will live for now with my new RPi5. If you do not measure it you can not tell the difference in speed of using it with LE if it is the RPi5 or N100. Yes less codecs in Hardware especially AV1, but for now I don't need AV1. I use it for days now with LE11 and it plays all my DVD, BD, UHD BD remux content just perfect.

New build from LE development branch with new Intel software did not make it better. I updated kodi too to fix the broken mysql support of 21b2.
If you want to try download here https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/12.0/
No success with PipeWire and passthrough. The test images i build for PipeWire are also on the download server.
I have no ideas anymore what to do.So i will give up and very sadly send the two N100 back next week.
here is the source diff to LE master i usedhttps://http://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…:11.80.5-240102 -

This is my LE12 based on the development branch for testing and not yet for all device.
download link https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/12.0/If you have any problems please install nightly LibreELEC version on which my build is based on and test again. If the problem is the same it is most likely not my build.
If you dont use any of the following additions i made, then my images have no benefit for you and you should use the official build.
the following was added in my community build:
- /flash 1024MB
- no GUI tools for the encryptiom, lvm2 or mdraid
- enable kernel config for lvm2 and snapshots (no cache, no thin)
- added lvm2 tools (config is under /storage/.config/lvm)
- enable kernel config for software raid with lvm2 and standalone with mdraid
- added mdraid to control linux software raid
- enable kernel config for dm-crypt to use cryptsetup (compatible with luks, veracrypt, truecrypt)
- added cryptsetup to manage encrypted block devices with luks, veracrypt and some more
- enabled /etc/crypttab support in systemd
- enable kernel config for ext4 filesystem encryption
- added fscryptctl to manage ext4 encryption
- enable kernel config for more crypto modules and options
- curl: enable protocol support for scp, sftp, smb, smbs
- versions: cryptsetup-2.6.1, lvm2-2.03.16, fscryptctl-1.1.0, mdadm-4.2
Builds are done for Generic and RPi so far.I booted so far only Generic, but not anything about encryption, lvm2 or software raid is tested.
The following links are only for people who are interested in the source code of my builds.

Zuma for me HDR is working, HLG with PVR i can not test, but you need to have the right hardware too. I only included patches from here HDR on x86 Hardware and there you probably find more infos about what hardware should work. My NUC8 works.

1080p the N100 is flawless too (as far as i can tell)
Now i have my 1st RPi5 and i mesured CPU power for the real task of the watchListe addon, that has a hard job making a full sync.
PN42 N100 -> around 3min
RPi5 @ 2900 MHz -> around 3min 45sec
RPi4 @ 2000 MHz -> more then 7min
For playing Video i did some tests with ym new RPi5 @ 2900 MHz passiv colling always with screen resolution 2160p and refresh rate like the movie. As far as my tests go always with PT no problem whatsoever with LE 11.0.4. Watched 1x 4k HDR TrueHD Atmos and BD with DTS-HD 7.1. Both remux i made my self from disc. Played flawless without any hickup. Some more TV show episode and streaming files played flawless too. -
