    I just stood up a new installation on an RPi4 using LE v9.97.1. My TV is a Sony smart TV with CEC and I use a Logitech Harmony 650 remote. In the past, its just always worked. I have the Harmony configured for the Sony, and the pi had just always worked.

    I'm just wondering why the harmony remote is no longer working with the pi? I verified that the CEC plug-in is setup and enabled. Any other thoughts that I should look at?

    Thanks

    Its not just the Logitech that isn't working, I tried the regular Sony remote as well and its not working either. When I reboot the Pi, I see a message saying that the CEC is connected to the TV, but something just isn't working.

    Thanks

    You can increase the log level (1 or 2 will be fine) by editing your existing advancedsettings.xml. It's worth to comment out all other tags inside <advancedsettings> for testing.

    Thinking similar to what you mentioned, I moved advancedsettings.xml to advancedsettings.xml_sav and sources.xml to sources.xml_sav, rebooted. I'm not sure if it was something in one of those files that was causing the video from being displayed, but after a couple of reboots, the video suddenly came back. I then moved both files back to their correct names, and all is good.

    Are you leaving the RPi on? does it work if you boot the RPi after turning the TV and receiver on?

    I did not try leaving the pi off turning of/on the TV and then booting the pi. If this happens again, I'll give that a try as well.

    Thanks

    I have an RPi4B running the LibreElec 10.0 beta, kodi v9.95.2 image. The reason why I am using the beta version is because I wasn't getting any video output using the LE v9.2.6, kodi v18.9. Someone on either this forum, or on kodi suggested that I use the beta and it worked, up until now.

    I now turn on the TV, and.......no video. I can tell there is a signal to the TV, but no video. I've tried everything that I can think of and have run out of idea's, so now I'm turning to the experts.

    Please find the error logs here. Pastebin logs

    Sorry, no debugging. I don't know how to turn on debug without going into the settings and enabling it.

    Thank you

    GBM (V4L2) is the new video pipeline that all ARM based LE devices are using for LE10.0. Codec licenses are not availaable as they are not needed: the RPi4 has enough CPU grunt to software decode all the media formats that historically needed them.

    But that still does not solve the issue, the audio/video sync is is not an option in LE 10.

    The setting isn't available when using GBM windowing in Kodi

    I was digging through the settings and finally found in the Systems Info, under Video, "Windowing: Gbm".

    I looked at one of my 9.2 pi's, there is no such. So, I'm assuming that this is new to v10, and if so, video/audio sync will not be an option? If that's the case, then Kodi will be pretty much useless. I can't even purchase a video codec license. They're not compatible with the RPi4.

    Daryl

    There is an audio sync option in the AUDIO OSD settings. Press ENTER during a video, select the Audio section, and adjust as needed.

    Hmmmm.....Okay. I guess its been moved. It used to be in Player -> Videos -> Playback. I looked all over and didn't see anything, so I assumed that it was removed.

    I'll take another look.

    Thanks

    Please give the LibreELEC 10 beta 1 build a try - with LE 9.2 you need to add a bunch of settings to config.txt to override the video mode, the simple cmdline.txt solution only works with LE 10.

    If you connected a 4k monitor then it could also be that the HDMI cable is not specced for 4k - it's easy to find out though, LE 10 with the video mode option in cmdline.txt will start in HD, then you can try switching to 3840x2160 in Kodi (Settings->System->Display). If you get "no signal" on TV wait a couple of seconds, then kodi will automatically switch back to the previous (HD) mode.

    so long,

    Hias

    The cables that I have are rated 4k, at least the box say's so. This is interesting because I recently built RPi4 using v9.2.6 and it works just fine. I'm just wondering what makes this build different?

    I'll try the v10 and see if it works.

    Thanks

    I just bought myself a brand new shiny CanaKit RPi4B, case, fan, power supply, HDMI cable etc.....The only item that I used of my own was a known good SD Micro card. One that I know works and that I pulled out of another known working RPi4,

    I wrote a brand new download of LibreElec v9.2.6, plugged all into a known good Samsung TV (it used to have a RPi3B on it a year ago so I know its good). No video. HMMMM....I tried combinations of HDMI ports on the TV, and ports on the pi, nothing. I get another known good TV, nothing. Same procedure, swapping around ports, swapping out cables etc...I finally put the pi on a known good TV that is currently using a RPi4, works. I'm thinking perhaps these two TV's are no longer working as I thought they were, so I went out and bought a BRAND NEW TV, something that I know is good.

    I still don't get any video output. I decided that since I have a known good PI and a known good TV, that I could swap out PI's. Put the good PI on the new TV, and the new Pi on the other TV. No video output with the known good Pi and the new TV.

    I forgot to mention, that in between all of this, I re-downloaded LibreElec and re-wrote it to my card. I even swapped out the power supply with the known good power supply. Still nothing.

    Okay. This is telling me that there must be something else going on. At this stage there are no log files to look at, its still just a basic SD card with LiberElec written to it. What else can I look at, or tweak or adjust or IDK.

    Any idea's are appreciated.

    Thank you.
