I have four RPi4 and I've upgraded all of them to LE v10 (Matrix). I am not getting 5ghz WIFI at all on any of them. I was able to get 5ghz with v9.2, but not with v10. Why not? Is there something that I need to change to get 5ghz?
Thanks
Daryl

Ah. I was looking for a .tar file. I didn't realize that I could update from a .img file.
Thanks

I'm using the beta version, v9.97.1. How can I upgrade to v10?
Thanks

Okay. Doing a little digging and I discovered that either the RPi4 is not compatible with Sony Bravia, or Kodi v19. Either way, I got a message telling me that Bravia will enable once a compatible device is set up. This is perplexing, because the previous Pi's / kodi that I've used all worked. Why all of a sudden Kodi v19 / LE 9.97.1 is not working?
Thanks

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
Daryl
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

You are free to downgrade if you feel like you need to
I cannot downgrade. The reason why I am trying to use LE 10 is because for whatever reason, v9.2.6 will not work. Please see my post on No video output from new RPi4b
Correct
I'm assuming this is a Kodi change, and not a LibreElec change?
-
I answered several questions that you asked. I didn't claim to solve the problem.
Just to make sure I understand correctly, there is no option for the audio/video sync. And.....there is no option to use a codec licenses.
-
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.

What is "GBM Windowing"?
Post a debug log please
For what it's worth, here is the requested debug log.
This is a fresh install, I setup NextPVR and my movie share's, but other than that, its a base install. Oh, I guess I did change the skin. I can't stand the default skin.
Thanks

"Settings/Playback/Videos/Playback/Sync playback to display"
Perhaps you need to enable the Advanced or Export menu setting (bottom left).
I'm sorry, but that option just is not there, and yes, I have Export enabled.
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

Just installed v10 beta 1 and going through the options. I can't find an audio sync option. Is that no longer available? Do I have to buy a codec license?
Thank you
Daryl

I am happy to report that LibreElec v10 Beta 1 is working. I'm a bit disappointed that the skin I use is not available, nor are a few other features, but I'm hopeful that they will be available once this go from beta to operational.

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

Thanks Don. I'll review and see what I can figure out.
