der all!

I read through the forums a lot, but I couldn't find a solution, so I'll have to ask:

• I run a headless tvheadend server HTS Tvheadend 4.3-2027~ge3f4f222e at the home network ip 192.168.8.2
• I configured all my channels with custom channel icons, and
  • the tvheadend webpage at 192.168.8.2:9981 shows me the correct channel icons in the EPG tab, so that looks fine.
  • I have the android TVHclient app installed on a tablet, and this app displays the correct icons
  • my libreelec Kodi client does not donwnload and show the channel icons
• I run libreelec 10.0.3 on a RPi4 with the tvheadend addon. I have an unpriviledged login, say MYUID:MYPWD. All the programs play just fine, EPG loads just fine.
• configuration of the TVheadend server is, amongst other things:
  > config > general > image-cache: NOT ENABLED
  > config > general > base: http sever settings ==> authentication type = "both plain and digest" (this seems to be the safest and working config)
  > config > general > base: http sever settings ==> realm name = "tvheadend" (this is different from the username that the kodi-clients use, I guess this is ok)

However, libreelec / kodi does not load the channel icons from tvheadend server: the ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log file gives me errors:

2022-12-01 00:31:54.891 T:822 ERROR <general>: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: HTTP returned error 403
2022-12-01 00:31:54.891 T:822 ERROR <general>: CCurlFile::Open failed with code 403 for http://192.168.8.2:9981/imagecache/428:
2022-12-01 00:31:54.891 T:822 ERROR <general>: CFileCache::Open - <http://USERNAME:[email protected]:9981/imagecache/428> failed to open

I guess the kodi clients use USERNAME=MYUID and PASSWORD=MYPWD and this is just not written plaintext into the log file.

note: when I paste http://MYUID:[email protected]:9981/imagecache/428 into any browser on any pc on my intranet, the correct channel logo is shown, so the tvheadend server holds the icons available for the clients.

So, somehow it seems to me that libreelec/kodi doesn't authenticate correctly to the tvheadend server for the purpose of loading the channel icons, but authenticates correctly for the purpose of downloading the video stream and EPG...

Things I've tried:

• I cleared all caches from the libreelec/kodi UI, even uninstalled an reinstalled the tvheadend addon
• I deleted ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/Textures13.db file but this obviously didn't change the behaviour

What do I do wrong? Is this a bug in the tvheadend-addon, in kodi, in libreelec?

thanx 4 support

Anybody any ideas?

Thanks for your support!

I just made the necessary settings and then rebooted the libreelec-Raspberry 3B+. Then I tried to provoke the freeze by watching several videos and TV channels and could provoke a Freeze several seconds after switching a TV channel. What I noticed was that several seconds before the freeze the memory went down until about 398/765 MB, but probably this is nothing.

in short, the output of

# dmesg | paste

is:

http://ix.io/1jci

The interface crashed somewhere before 54397227 bytes of the logfile, but the logfile itself keeps growing, I post it with a size of 79889988 bytes. Thats too large for pastebin, therefore I chose a wetransfer service link, if this is fine?

Dear all,

I am experiencing freezes of the libreelec graphical interface very often (meaning: several times a day) now since I've upgraded to 9.0.0 official.

I have libreelec on 2 raspberries, one Raspberry 1B+, one Raspberry 3B+

The 3B+ used to run fine with 8.95 Milhouse builds, but since the upgrade to 9.0.0, even with the latest 9.0.2 the system crashes regularly - or better irregularly, several times a day. I did a clean install on both. The graphical interface (stock estuary) freezes and is irresponsive to keyboard or CEC input, but librelelec still accepts SSH connections normally. So I can do a graceful reboot over SSH.

The only extension I have is the (stock) TVHeadend client which connects to a (intranet) tvheadend 4.2.8 server (debian), not a local TV-adapter.

Is this a known problem, can I provide error-logs?

regards, sulla

Dear all!

I have libreelec running on 3 raspberry devices in my home. I run tvheadend as client for one central tvheadend server connected to satellite receivers.

I observed that when I tune the libreelec clients to the same radio or TV station, the playback on all libreelec clients will not be in sync, there will be up to ~0,5 - 1 seconds out of sync, which is strange when you want to play the same radio station in several rooms.

Is there a way to synchronise playback (of live TV or live Radio or any other live stream) across several devices? I guess it has to do with different buffering, probably due to different ethernet network latency?

Dear all!

I have an issue with the Kodi-displayed EPG being 1h off since daylight savings time:

My raspberry Pi gets the correct time (CEST) from a time server. That works well.

The EPG displays the "now" line at the correct time, but the EPG data does not fit, i.e. programs that air at 20:15-22:00 are displayed as 19:15-21:00, for all channels. Also the time in the program information section at the bottom of the EPG is 1h off.

However, when I swith to the program, the program info is then displayed correctly, i.e. then it gives the right name of the program, only in EPG display its 1h off.

I made sure that the tvheadend server (separate computer) has the right time and right EPG, and it displays the right EPG-time.

Only Kodi EPG is 1h off.

Even stranger, this probelm seems to be reproducible after a restart of libreELEC, but it seems to go away after a day or so, not exactly sure.

Anybody knows whats going on and how ot solve this?

I'm running current libreELEC 8.2.4 on Raspberry 2 B, and since yesterday also on the new 3B+ (I'm using the very same SD-card, just plugged it form 2B to 3B+).

thanks for support,
