Hi LibreELEC,
If I play a movie with an AC3 5.1 audio track, the sound is correctly passed thru to my audio receiver as DD Digital.
Now is when the issue begins. if I stopped the playback of said movie with an AC3 5.1 audio track and went to play another movie title, but this time with a DTS audio track.
The sound doesn't come up. My audio receiver still shows DD Digital. It got stuck this way since I played the first movie title with an AC3 5.1 track.
In fact. Not even the Kodi GUI sounds are being played.
After that, I went to listen to a Web Radio (Stereo) and no sound came up.
Sometimes when this happens the sound returns if I choose to play a movie title with the same audio codec that got stuck in the first place.
But again eventually my audio receiver dropped the DD Digital to No Input and after that, I got sound again.
But sometimes this takes a lot of time. And only a reboot will save me time.
Below there is a log that I hope captured the steps I described above trying to reproduce this issue.
Feel free to contact me if anything is needed.
Regards.

Yes, it did solve the issue I reported yesterday.
If you excuse me. I'd like to report another thing. This is not new. It is something that appeared late in the last development cycle.
The reason I'm bringing this up is because I extensively tested the SPDIF out capabilities and what I'm about to report just started to happen a lot
Here's what happened on the log that I attached below
I played a movie with an AC3 5.1 audio track. So far. So good.
Now is when the issue begins. I stopped the playback of said movie with an AC3 5.1 audio track and went to play another movie title, but this time with a DTS audio track.
The sound doesn't come up. My audio receiver still shows DD Digital. It got stuck this way when I played the first movie title with an AC3 5.1 track.
In fact. Not even the Kodi GUI sounds are being played.
After that, I went to listen to a Web Radio (Stereo) and no sound came up.
The only way to listen to a sound is by waiting. Sometimes this takes too much time it is better to reboot LibreELEC.
But again eventually my audio receiver dropped the DD Digital to No Input and after that, I got sound again.
I thought since you guys are looking into ALSA maybe I should mention this issue as well
Feel free to contact me if anything is needed.
Regards.

Thanks for replying.
Just to make clear. Do you want me to provide anything else?
Feel free to ask.

I believe I found what is happening.
After trying a new SD card and even another power supply I decided to open my Raspberry Pi case to have a look.
Putting everything back together I forgot to reconnect my USB Audio SPDIF dongle and powered on. To my surprise it successfully booted.
When I connected my USB Audio dongle LibreElec crashed and then got stuck on a loop while trying to boot, just like before
This is only happening with the nightly builds after September, 02.
chewitt what changed after Sep,02 that is causing these issues?
Please, let me know
PS: My USB Audio SPDIF dongle is a Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro II.

At the moment of this writing, I'm low-level formatting my SD card. It will take a while to finish it. In the meantime, I'm gonna buy a new SD Card.
This is strange. My RPi was working normally until I updated from the nightly build of September, 02 to today's build.
Just one more thing. Before the low-level formatting of my SD Card. I flashed the nightly build from September, 02 and it booted normally.
But the builds after that they all are failing to boot. Caught in a loop.
I will be back later today with more information.
Thanks

Hi.
The latest nightly builds (RPi2) from September, 04 onwards are failing to boot properly on my Rpi 3B+.
https://test.libreelec.tv/12.0/RPi/RPi2/
I have already lost my installation. Wiped everything to start anew to no avail.
There is an ongoing problem with the latest builds that are making the booting process loop right after the logo is shown.
Is that a known issue?
Please, let me know.

It turns out this was a 'feature' of Embycon (Emby addon for Kodi) that I wasn't aware.
I'll let the fix here in case anyone else might bump into this issue in the future.
You need to go into the Embycon addon settings and turn it off
EmbyCon Settings -> Events -> Screensaver -> Show change user dialogThat's it.
Hope that helps.

Hi LibreELEC,
This bug appeared during the development cycle of Kodi 20. Apparently, at least on my installation, it didn't go away when Kodi 20 was released a couple of weeks ago.
I am running the latest test build of LibreELEC: https://test.libreelec.tv/11.0/RPi/RPi2/
LibreELEC:~ # lsb_release -a
LibreELEC (community): nightly-20230219-ebf3c2e
This is how you can duplicate this bug, hopefully.
Just let LibreELEC idle. The screen monitor will dim a little. Then you only need to hit a button (any) and after profile prompt will appear asking you to choose a user profile.
This is happening every time Kodi goes inactive and the monitor screen dims. Sometimes happens when I am listening to some songs over streaming addons like Radio Paradise
Here is some logging: http://ix.io/4oBX
Hope it helps.
Is there any else having this issue?
Please, let me know.

Thank you HiassofT
It worked.
I'm running only on the RPi.
More precisely RPI3B+ with the latest LibreElec Test Build.
Linux LibreELEC 6.1.0 #1 SMP Wed Dec 28 22:56:30 UTC 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux
And I can confirm that it is working.

Hi.
How can I get to know the EDID from my monitor detected on LibreElec?
I looked into the logs and honestly couldn't find it.
And since LE is stripped of extra packages I decided to come here and ask for help finding it.
How can it be done?
Thanks.

HiassofT thanks for replying.
The info you provided me it's already something to show the devs there. One guy told me months ago when it was only restricted to LibreElec that he wasn't seeing anything in the logs. And that he didn't have a Raspberry Pi to try to replicate himself.
I'll keep trying to reach them. This time with this piece of information about Python 3.11.
The reason I'm in a hurry it's that Plex finally released a version of the Plex server with support for AV1.
Anyway thanks for the tip.
-
deleonkikko because I need AV1 support that's only present on LibreElec 11.0/Kodi 20

Thanks for replying
Did you run the addon on your system? It stalled on the initial splash screen.
The reason I'm asking you this is that I will try to warn the developer one more time with this new piece of information
This issue started one month ago. I could be wrong but I think it was before the latest python version bump.
if you or someone else reading this please be kind and chime in on this topic on the Plex forum:

Hi, sorry for this unusual request but I'm getting desperate.
Here's my issue. About a month ago Plex For Kodi stopped working for me. I'm running the latest version of LibreElec 11/Kodi 20.
When I try to open Plex it stalls on the loading screen with the three dots moving. And that's it
Why I'm asking is if anyone here already running on the latest version of LibreElec nightly can install Plex for Kodi and see how it goes
I'm trying to contact the dev in the Plex forums. But he's not responding. I think he doesn't believe that this could be possibly happening.
But it's happening. In fact it's happening even with within Kodi for Android running on my NSTV but that's another whole story
Here's what is happening when I try to execute Plex for Kodi (see log)
Any help would be greatly appreciated

is this meant :
https://test.libreelec.tv/addons/10.80.6/
if so:
maybe download and install by hand would work ?
Thanks for the tip. Although I am running an ARMv7 in a form of an RPi3B+ it didn't install.
I guess I will have to wait for a proper version to reach the repositories
