No idea at all. No uhd tv channels to try.

I am pretty sure now the workaround does work (at least for me) and fixes the issue. For the testing i started 2024 with the MCU in chronological order after finishing Fast and Furious all movies.
Next will be creating a issue at Intel drm/i915. I already had a look on issues there and how they look like and 1st i need to create account there. Hopefully i do that to the end of next week.

I am willing to maintain the patched versions until it is fixed in official LE. That is "only" one extra device with 90min compile time for every release i do.

Release version 11.0.5-240124

rooty I am using normally RHEL or clones for more then 20 years, so i orientate on the hundreds of servers i use at work with LVM, mdraid, encryption, NBDE, tang, clevis .... My starting point is the rpm spec file and what is in there, then reading configure output what can i use, what is default etc and what do i need for the functionality i wish.
For lvmetad IIRC it was a compiling issue (without it builds), but i can not really recall. LVM is only in there because cryptsetup wont do without and as i had it already in there i made LVM usable with a small set of features. Thin and Cache as example need extra tools (at least one more package).

Here RPi4, RPi5 and Intel N100 with the bars running 11.0.5-#240124 with kernel 6.1.74
connected -> Denon X6700H -> LG OLED55E6D screen resolution 2160p @ 60 Hz

I can not tell a difference between the 3 devices, but i am not totally clear what i should see or to be more precise what is good and what is bad. I can clearly see the difference between red and magenta.

verified the cifs fix on Generic and RPi4 the nightly-20240117-fe8988f fixes the problem

https://test.libreelec.tv/11.0/Generic/G…-ed7127b.img.gz

that goes for all other devices too, but i did not test it with more devices.

Here is my workaround to force HDMI reconnect that i use for some time now on all my devices RPi4, RPi5, Vero 4k+, Intel N100

For this to work you need System -> Player -> Videos -> adjust display refresh rate -> On Start (or Start/stop should work too)

SSH to you device

wget https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/hdmi-switch.tar.gz
tar -xvf hdmi-switch.tar.gz
# try e.g.
hdmi-switch/bin/switch-23-50-60.sh

If you now put that on a button on your remote you can fix this pretty fast every time you need. As example for a BT Keyboard long press F5 as config in a keyboard.xml.

<keymap>
    <global>
        <keyboard>
            <f5 mod="longpress">System.Exec(/storage/hdmi-switch/bin/switch-23-50-60.sh)</f5>
        </keyboard>
    </global>
</keymap>

If you want to boot local and not from the Network any NVMe SSD as ASUS docu says will do. I used my spare Sasmung 970 Evo 500 GB (way to big).

Yes there are many less expensive N100 boxes even some are fanless, but most likely you never see a BIOS update and for the Feature CIR and CEC i did not see anywhere else.
I just did send a HUNSN BM34 back. Nice Box but no wakeup at all except WOL. No CIR or CEC either. Dont really need any of these features, but to be able to use standby, IR or USB wakeup even from S5 is nice. When my Harmony Elite gives up i maybe need to change my setup and use CEC and/or CIR.

Widescreen With some help i have my N100 now running perfect (for what i do). I needed to patch the kernel to workaround that problem.

If you want to use LE a patched image is here https://sky42.libreelec.tv/release/11.0/G…/Generic-ADL10/.

Any other Linux distro has most likely the same that you can read here Intel Alder Lake 2160p @ 23.976 Hz passthrough HD Audio dropouts (i7-1270p/N100).

Kodi did break MySQL more then one time with the update 21b2 ff.

I rolled my community build back to a version that works for me. Any of my 240109 should do but not 240110.

Or better use LE11 if you don't need 12.

Works perfect here with 11.0.4.

Yup kind of the same here with RPi2 (not anymore), RPi4, RPi5, i3-8100, Vero 4k+ and very new Intel N100 all connected to X6700H to LG 55E6D. It is not the Pis it is Denon i fear. Intel is slightly less annoying . The X4500H before was not much better. I have all HDMI CEC off. The RPis and Denon do not really like each other. So far I did not find anything, but I leaned from you guys Denon Input switch helps. Did not know or try that before. Thanks.

So now i established my new baseline where i can reproduce a working and a non working version with LE11 and LE12

LE11 11.0.4-#240109 https://sky42.libreelec.tv/release/11.0/G…/Generic-ADL10/
- Generic-ADL10 is working perfect for me with Intel N100
- Generic-BT2020 is the counterpart without the 10 bit patch as the only difference
- tested 1 movie 1st BT2020 after 3x (about 5mnin) audio glitches switch to ADL10 and the rest was flawless
- sources https://github.com/sky42src/LibreELEC.tv/tree/11.0.4-240109

LE12 11.80.5-#240109 https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/12.0/G…/Generic-ADL10/
(i would not use LE12, because kodi + mysql is at the moment very wonky and OS nfs4 is broken too)
- 2x downgrades in my 11.80.5-#240109 release to get mysql and OS nfs4 working
- Generic-ADL10 is working perfect for me with Intel N100
- Generic is the counterpart without the 10 bit patch as the only difference
- tested 1 movie 1st Generic after 3x (about 3min) audio glitches switch to ADL10 and the rest was flawless
