I tried LibreELEC-RPi5.aarch64-12.0-nightly-20250210-d00ba88.img yesterday but i see that it has now been removed from the db. It was running very slowly and would take a 10 minutes or more update the video library. There was a libreto addon incompatibility also which it stopped itself. I noticed this morning there is a newer LibreELEC-RPi5.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20250211-47e3e9e.img. I've updated to it and am happy to report it seems to be running fine.

I'm also getting the crash loop.

The RPi 4 Nightly LibreELEC-RPi4.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20250207-5d50e8d.img.gz goes into a crash loop.

The RPi 5 LibreELEC-RPi5.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20250207-5d50e8d.img.gz does the same.

I had to flash an an older release and restore a backup.

Cheers

Oh good.

I'm running a Rpi4 with 13.0-nightly-20240621-ea28fa9 build. The 20240623-a76b305 build has issues with CEC via my LG TV remote. No response at all. The 20240621-ea28fa9 build works fine.

Thanks for your time.

RPi4 2G. Marantz SR5500 receiver. Justboom Digi HAT. LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20231207-8475be3 but error has been around for several months.

AC3 optical passthrough transcoding plays intermittently on first play only. It plays for 1 second, stops for 1 second and plays again until the clip ends. Only the front channels are heard.

This has been ongoing for a few years. It was fixed then it broke again. Its not a huge problem because it resolves itself after the first play.

I need to reboot the RPi each time to replicate the error.

Ive posted about this some time ago (a year or so) . It was resolved but has recurred several months ago. I use an AAC5.1 encoded video from Dolby for testing.

Passthrough is enabled. Receiver is D.D. AC3 compatible. AC3 transcoding is enabled.

thanks

I think their algorithm detects Kodi and assumes piracy. I've appealed it.

Chook from Australia here. I was blocked by youtube when using an Australian IP address. I used a VPN to redirect to the UK and the video worked fine. So its GeoBlocked.

After a traveling long and twisted path, it was in fact a VPN provider who apparently had a DNS attack on one of their servers. Once that particular service was switched off the problem went away. I've been in contact with the VPN provider.

Almost a year later I've revisited your suggestions here and implemented them after a rebuild. Thanks.

Hias, I believe you are correct. I've have been having a few issues with this PC but thought I had resolved them when this popped up. I've cleared the cache etc. Maybe reset router.

I get this using edge.

There seems to be a undesirable malware link at the Nightly link https://test.libreelec.tv/11.0/ Screen capture posted.

Update Looks like my PC was compromised. Currently cleaning.

I'm happy to report this issue has been resolved. Tested using LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20220813

thanks all.

This bug where trans-coding AAC to AC3 (using pass through) is intermittent on first play, still exists. It resolves itself after stopping and restarting playback.

I verified it on the 220709 nighlty on RPi4b. Is anyone else getting the same problem?

It is currently NTFS so I can defrag and or repair on a windows PC. The RPI4 LibreElec OS can use an EXT4 disk format and apparently seldom needs de fragmenting so I understand. I read a similar request a few years back stating there was no demand for this capability. So I may reformat the drive to EXT4 on my Linux laptop and repopulate it on the network. Its quicker than the USB2 ports on the laptop. It's due for a clean out anyhow. I'll drop this query.

Hi, I have a 4TB HDD attached to my RPI4 running LibreElec (nightlies). It is attached via a powered 3.0 USB hub so doesnt draw power from the RPi. Occasionally the drive is dismounted and stops functioning so I take it out and do an error check and defrag the heavily fragmented drive on my PC. So apparently there is a linux app called e4defrag which could defrag the drive on a daily basis. Is this possible via an app or addon? Any thoughts?

Thanks

I did some testing using passthrough via my TV and SPDIF to my amp. The transcode from AAC5.1 to AC3 worked in stereo only on first play without the intermittent audio. The second play worked OK. I may remove the justboom audio card and split the audio to SPDIF optical to rule out issues with justboom.

I notice there have been several FFMPEG updates recently. So I checked this issue which has been around for several months and reported in other threads.

When transcoding from AAC5.1 to AC3 via passthrough the first play is intermittent something like 1s intervals. Subsequent plays are OK.

I recorded it and posted on youtube.

Logs were posted on other threads.

If anyone wants to pursue this let me know and I'll post a current log.

I upgraded to the latest nightly. Nightly 220306 as it has had a FFMPEG patch applied. Alas the AAC 5.1 conversion and pass through still misbehaves. Typically it plays intermittently on first play. Resolves itself on subsequent plays. See my video posted earlier. Its a bug.

Resolved after restart.
