It seems that they can't reproduce the issue:

@chewitt We tried reproducing this in our lab with ADLP->TV setup but we are not seeing the issue. Were you able to reproduce this issue without the AVR setup?
Hi!
I had to reinstall LE on my RPI3 as the previous memory card died, and noticed that with 9.2.8 only some videos get thumbnails downloaded (poster, actors etc).
I've tried doing it from scratch with a new install and that didn't help.
I've tried The Movie Database, the Python version as well, along with the Universal Movie Scraper, all of them exhibit the same behaviour.
A very low number of thumbnails gets downloaded, the rest of them are just blank.
If I manually refresh the info for a specific movie then everything is downloaded without any issues.
I've attached my log, I would appreciate it if someone can assist me with this.
There are a bunch of errors like this:
2022-07-04 12:50:10.047 T:1799328640 ERROR: CCurlFile::Stat - Failed: HTTP response code said error(22) for http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BN…024_SY1024_.jpg
2022-07-04 12:50:10.047 T:1799328640 DEBUG: GetImageHash - unable to stat url http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BN…024_SY1024_.jpg
I got it working as follows:
hdmi_force_hotplug=1 - This is needed for my TV to actually show Kodi, without it no picture is shown.
hdmi_edid_file=1 - This is needed to read the edid file in the boot partition, I dumped the edid information into that file.
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080 should be avoided.
The Setting "hdmi port" is not visible by default on my end.
I had to set the "physical address" to 2000, then reset the RPI, after which "physical address" reverted to 0, but "hdmi port" became visible above it, that's where I could select port 2!
Without the edid file, when rpi boots with TV off, it uses 1024x768 as a resolution, where 1920x1080p is the normal one.
So I had to dump the edid information into a file, which would be read at boot, instead of fetching that data from the TV.
That worked like a charm.
So getting to a point where I can set the HDMI port to 2 was weirdly complicated, but once done it sticks.
The issue is that Kodi uses low resolution if the TV is not on while powering on.
That's where the edid file comes to rescue.
Dumping the edid file was done by entering this command in putty:
/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -d /storage/downloads/edid.dat
Then I copied the edid.dat bile into boot partition and set the hdmi_edid_file=1
Now everything works properly.
This is my config.txt related to the hdmi stuff:
# Force HDMI even if unplugged or powered off
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
# Doesn't send initial active source message.
# Avoids bringing CEC (enabled TV) out of standby and channel switch when rebooting.
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
# Disables the splash image
disable_splash=1
# When set to 1, will read the edid data from the edid.dat file instead of from the monitor
hdmi_edid_file=1
I hope this helps someone down the road.

I've got one weird issue.
I've used my RPI4, running LE 9.2.8 on HDMI port 1 of my TV, but then decided to move it to HDMI port 2.
There are no other devices connected to the TV except for the RPI4.
If I restart RPI4 with my LG 50LA660S off, Kodi uses HDMI port 1 for CEC by default, shows a CEC device on HDMI port 1 and shows HDMI port 2 being used as well.
Picture is not present on either of those HDMI ports.
If I restart RPI4 with my LG 50LA660S on, Kodi detects the proper HDMI port and everything works as it should.
In config.txt I've just got this:
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
disable_splash=1
Tried without them, the same thing happens.
If I add this parameter:
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
The results are as follows:
If I restart RPI4 with my LG 50LA660S off, Kodi uses HDMI port 1 for CEC by default, shows a CEC device on HDMI port 1 and shows HDMI port 2 being used as well.
Picture is now present on HDMI port 2! - This is progress!
If I restart RPI4 with my LG 50LA660S on, Kodi detects the proper HDMI port and everything works as it should.
If I add these parameters:
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_edid_file=1 (Makes no difference)
Kodi behaves the same regardless if the TV was on or off, Kodi uses HDMI port 1 for CEC by default, shows a CEC device on HDMI port 1 and shows HDMI port 2 being used as well.
Picture is now present on HDMI port 2! - This is progress!
I'm trying to set the HDMI port manually through Physical Address in CEC Adapter settings (System/Input/Peripherals/CEC Adapter) to be HDMI 2.
But every time RPI4 restarts, this setting reverts to 0.
I've even tried accessing \\RPI4_IP\Userdata\peripheral_data\rpi_2708_1001 which has the CEC settings, I made the change and those were overwritten at boot.
Any thoughts how I can manually set the HDMI port to 2 so that CEC is connected to the proper HDMI port (2) where Kodi is actually connected to the TV?
If you need any more info please let me know.
Thank you!
I managed to get this working through Docker.
It was rather straight forward and not complicated at all, which is weird - I was sure it will be a huge headache...
I wasn't precise enough, I meant to add this as an addon in the repo.
My guess is there are some dependencies that may or may not be available in the repo normally, and if that's the case then docker is the way to go.
I looked into docker, it is present on docker hub but not through linuxserver.io
I haven't used docker before, so I'll have to read up a bit before trying to make this work.
Hi guys,
Any chance we could get BubbleUPnP Server running on LibreElec?
I like how it works and what it does, especially the OpenHome functionality.
It would be useful to have it running alongside Kodi and have it provide OpenHome functionality to different Media Renderers.
Hi guys,
I upgraded my RPI3 B+ yesterday to LibreELEC 9.0.1. as far as I can tell all is well except for one peculiar thing.
I have set up playlists as I have different folders for cartoons, 3d, etc, that's how I divide the folders for easy main menu creation.
If I enter the movies playlist which has 2000+ movies, out of which ~970 are marked as watched, Kodi will honor the option to not show the watched ones.
If I exit and reenter the same playlist Kodi will show all movies acting like there are no watched movies.
Estuary will literally show 0 watched movies...
Moving forward it will keep showing all movies until I enter one of the smaller playlists, smaller playlists don't have this problem for some reason (I checked).
After I exit any of the smaller playlists and go back to movies playlist it will honor the option showing just the unwatched ones until I exit and come back again...
This doesn't happen if I access the folder itself, so just the big playlist seems to cause issues...
I'm using the default skin Estuary, tried it with AeonMQ8 and the problem is the same.
This never happened on Krypton, everything was set up the same like it is right now...
Any clue what's going on?
Obviously if you need more info please let me know...
Hi guys,
I've received my Raspberry Pi 3B+ couple of days ago and finally got a chance to sit down and set it up.
After using it for a couple of hours I noticed that CEC command "Wake devices when deactivating the screensaver" doesn't actually work.
I then proceeded to install fresh copy (with no modifications whatsoever) and it was still not working.
I plugged that memory card into my Raspberry Pi 2 and that CEC command worked just fine.
This was tested on LE 8.2.5 and OSMC 20180502, the bug is present in both.
Please let me know if you need more info from my end or a debug log.
Thank you for your help up front.
