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
- PR8588 Generic: added intel-gpu-max-10-bit.sh helper
- PR8751 pipewire: enable for all images, but dont start if alsa or pulse in on
- PR8749 pipewire: hardwire extra config to ~/.config/pipewire
- PR8750 wireplumber: hardwire extra config to ~/.config/wireplumber
- Generic: new device BT2020 (only added kodi PR24160)

Builds are done for all official LE 12 supported architectures and devices.

new device Generic-BT2020 is based on Generic with the following changes
- added kodi PR24160 enable HDR passthrough for HDR videos with incomplete(?) metadata info
- nothing else so far (no PVR flickeruing patch from smp as in LE11)

The following links are only for people who are interested in the source code of my builds.

Have Fun

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.

I need help for proper pipewire config.

After half a day testing and reading i do not get PT running ONLY PCM 2.0 is working.

smp now i have LE12 too, but the same problem just PCM stereo

all my images for testing are here https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/adl/
my LE12 builds are the 11.80.4 ones

lets see if i can learn how to configure pipewire
any help for pipewire config is very welcome

the build config i used is
--- new device with options like this for gbm and x11 ----
# PipeWire backend device
PULSEAUDIO_SUPPORT="no"
PIPEWIRE_SUPPORT="yes"
KODI_ALSA_SUPPORT="no"
KODI_PULSEAUDIO_SUPPORT="no"
KODI_PIPEWIRE_SUPPORT="yes"
ALSA_SUPPORT="no"

# the rest is copied from gbm
------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to the hint of smp i have now a Pipe wire LE11 BT2020 running.

Output is PCM stereo at the moment. Now i need to learn how to configure pipe wire for Kodi that passthrough is possible.

i7-1270p playback with log
https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/adl/ko…C12WSKv7.log.gz
one very loud 20MB log file from playing 2 movies
Both had 1 audio hickup in the beginning and shortly before stopping it.

Any other log creation request please specify what

ToDo
- test ADL10 image with older Intel GPU and check if 12 bit is fine there
- check my i7-1270P if it is fine too with ADL10 image
- open a bug https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues

workaround in post #46

opened a new thread for that problem Intel Alder Lake 2160p @ 23.976 Hz passthrough HD Audio dropouts (i7-1270p/N100)

Widescreen sorry for the problem noise here

audio dropouts with screen resolution 2160p @ 23,976 Hz if the Audio is HD (for 9 out of 10 BD/4k remux i tested)

Use the workaround from post #46

affected devices tested
- ASUS PN42
- Intel NUC12WSKv7
- MiniX Z100-0db

not affected devices as counter tests
- RPi4
- Asrock B360/ITX-ac with Intel i3-8100 HDMI 1.4
- Intel NUC8i7BEH

Edit: workaround is here RE: Intel Alder Lake 2160p @ 23.976 Hz passthrough HD Audio dropouts (i7-1270p/N100)

setup used
- HDMI connections only
- no ARC
- no CEC
- LE device -> Denon X6700H -> LG 55E6D
- as of today a extra new clean installed USB disk for testing with local data to play


Started here RE: Time to upgrade my NUC. What's hot today?

my ASUS PN42 has audio dropout with screen resolution 2160p @ 23,976 Hz if the Audio is HD (for 9 out of 10 BD/4k remux i tested).
PN42 tests and counter tests
- if not extra stated all in passthrough with only HDMI PN42 -> Denon -> LG TV (no ARC, no CEC)
- build LE11 and LE12 with the latest updates today for that
- nearly all DTS-HD, TrueHD have dropout when played with screen resolution 2160p @ 23,976 Hz
- NUC8i7BEH does play all content fine 1080p/2160p with and without HDR (for LE11 HDR with my Generic-BT2020)
- NUC8i7BEH has a LSPcon MC2800 HW: 2.2 SW: 1.78 (from /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_display_info)
-my LSPcon MC2900 und MC2907 do not work with HD audio on the PN42
- source resolution does not matter if you play with screen resolution 2160p @ 23,976 Hz and it has HD audio it will have dropouts
- LE12 makes no difference
- Generic legacy makes no difference
- 4k HDR source material played in screen resolution 1080p @ 23,976 Hz has NO audio dropouts and HDR works too
- disable passthrough and do multichennel PCM works better but every couple of minutes i have a dropout
- mainly tested by switching between NUC8, PN42 and RPi4 and settings changes
- for test i did see parts of Alita - Battle Angel (2019) EAN 4010232073624 playlist 00800
- for test i did see The Fast and the Furious (2001) EAN 5050582731248
- content from NFS locally mounted with v4
- short tests with Aquaman (2018) EAN 5051890317377 english E-AC3 with Atmos plays flawless all other HD audio tracks with dropouts (2x DTS-HD, 1x TrueHD/Atmos)

I tested by seeing at leats 10min (if no dropouts) to be sure. Mostly in less then 5min i did get a droptout. Switched devices and setting many times. At the moment that looks like a N100 problem.
Now i tested my NUC12WSKv7 and it has the same dropouts.

NUC12WSKv7
- created a USB disk with a new clean installation of LE11 and local data to play
- so far the same problems as the PN42
- 2x movies both 2 errors https://sky42.libreelec.tv/testing/adl/ko…C12WSKv7.log.gz

I will formalize the test and create some clean logs.

chewitt if someone teaches me where, how and what to report (or i can read it somewhere) i will certanly try, despite my very very bad expiriences with reporting to open source projects or even companies like intel

smp do you know how to build a version with pipewire? I dont. To put on some more versions to boot is not problem, there are alraedy 5 different LE version on there that i can boot with a grub2 menu (with the remote

infoalter i agree to have N100 working would be nice. The N6000 has no hardware AV1 decoding, the N100 does because of the Gen12 GPU and is around 20% fater.

I have still a 2nd N100 here and will test that today. A fanless HUNSN BM34 for less then 200 Euro as barebone, BUT no USB wakeup or CIR. WOL is working and power consumtion in S3 standby is very low and USB wakeup from S3 works. No USB on the back side, that is a bit impractical. It is fanless and not a bad chassis. They even give me a PXE capable BIOS (was not on there) after asking. The preassembled one i have has a DDR4 2666 not 3200 and it is a really cheap M2 SATA SSD. It is a very nice box.

Now i will free my Desktop to test NUC12i7.

yamcenutzer no CIR options in the BIOS but HDMI-CEC

yamcenutzer according to https://www.intel.com/content/www/us…l-nuc-kits.html the 12th is the last with CIR.
I'll reboot and check the BIOS of my NUC12WSKv7.
