Da Flex I might do that when new problems arise. My hope was that maybe somebody just knows. If it takes too much time I just go back to Raspi 4 and wait a few months.
But right now everything works perfectly. The first time I can really watch my Gopro 4K@60 videos on a Raspi.
Pi 5 goes to Yamaha RX-V685 goes to a 4K TV.
Replacing the cable from Pi 5 to the Yamaha fixed the problem. I have no idea if this cable is 2.0 or whatever, but it looks more expensive.
Could it be that the Pi 5 produces a higher HDMI data rate than the Pi 4? Why is that so with the same video material? DVB-S2, HD. If so, that might be worth mentioning in future upgrade instructions. Or reduce the HDMI data rate to what is really needed for the actual video.
When it failed, fsck found an orphaned I-Node.
Kodi 12 nightly. TVHeadend on a different server.
I have a problem with missing sound, randomly, about 10 times per minute, for about 1 second. This happens while watching live tv with tvheadend. It also happens when recording and replaying - but NOT when replaying old records done with Raspi 4B.
I enabled general debugging and component debugging for audio and for audio/video timing, but there was nothing in the logs.
I am now back on Raspi 4B, sound is OK again.
Today I posted part of a kodi log file containing the word "w e i g h t".
This word was censored.
Why?
Since this happens only rarely, I rather do not want to disable de-interlacing, it is important to me.
Is there some debug setting that would deliver more specific info next time?
Raspi 4B with Libreelec 9.2.6, no banned repositories. Sometimes it just hangs. In this case N-TV which is only a STDV station.
Using tvheadend.
After this, Kodi does not act on the remote control anymore - I can however still ssh to it.
Happens rarely, maybe once or twice per week.
And - can somebody please explain why this forum censors the word "w e i g h t"?

Sorry for not answering sooner.
HDMI 2 does not give me a picture at all, using HDMI 1.
I bought this: from Amazon.It is a bit cheap in that the contact into the Raspberry is a bit loose but it works fine. The original cable from a Gopro Hero 7 Black fits better but makes no difference. Anyway, how could a dumb passive cable change digitally encoded colors? I have no artifacts or intermittent effects.
Meanwhile I found that the option to limit color range to 16-235 was active. I am quite sure I never activated it - but I guess I did. After a fresh installation of Libreelec 9.1.002. Deactivating that option fixed it.
Hi,
up till now I had libreelec (latest stable) running on an Intel NUC BOXNUC5CPYH with the i915 graphics driver.
Now I am trying the new RPI 4B. Everything works nicely but the colors are pale compared to the NUC. In the GUI, black is really black on the NUC but only a dark grey on the RPI 4B.
Same with all other colors, they look much more pale.
And the same problem for video output.
I connected both to the same TV ( LG 65SJ800V with 4K) but different HDMI ports. Switching back and forth, the difference is very visible.
Is there anything I can configure in the RPI 4B? Or - which parts of the debug log should I compare between both and post?
Otherwise, video playback at 1080 is more stable than on the NUC. With 4K, the RPI stutters but as I understand the driver is still in development.
Solved it for me too.
Hi,
I am running Libreelec 8.2.3 on a NUC5CPYH.
When connecting to a 4K TV LG 65SJ800V, display selection, resolution and refresh rate are disabled in the system configuration.
When connecting to a 4K Monitor U3277PQU, those settings can be changed. Display selection offers Default and HDMI2.
If I
1. connect to the monitor
2. boot Libreelec
3. set resolution to 1920x1080
4. disconnect the monitor, connect the TV
those settings are still enabled, 1920x1080 is still selected and the output on the TV is just fine. After rebooting with the TV connected, I again have 3840x2160, settings are disabled and the video output is distorted.
The NUC5CPYH really seems to be too slow for outputting 4K. So I need to force resolution to 2K. I can do that with my own xorg.conf - that works just fine.
Still I wonder why those settings are disabled for the TV but enabled for the monitor. Is that a feature or a bug?
Hi,
on a freshly installed libreelec 8.2.2, cable network connection, Intel NUC5CPYH
I put the mysql database onto some other system but kodi never was able to use it.
Finally I found that I must enable a setting in the Libreelec plugin: wait for network before starting kodi
I think this is a bug: libreelec has all the info it needs but ignores it
- it knows from advancedsettings.xml that the mysql server is over the network
- but it tries to access it before the network is up
