Better ask at the Kodi forum. Widevine developers aren't here.

Now i have a 10.0.4 LibreElec running and asking myself how i upgrade this zu 12.2
From SSH terminal:
Codecd /storage/.update wget https://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-12.2.1.img.gz reboot -
Please provide a full debug log.How to post a log (wiki)1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging2. Restart Kodi3. Replicate the problem4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)
use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link -
Thanks. But now I cannot modify the post owned by you any more.
If it's an ongoing project, then I could pin it on top of the Add-on sub-forum. Then make a post for every new release. That's more consistent than editing forever.

I've created a new thread, and deleted the old one. For the older thread it was impossible to edit the post correctly.

Small development addon to replace running Kodi with a shell on GBM. Attached keyboard is required.
Can be installed from ZIP using an USB stick e.g. on networking issues.
Generate logs without network:
Add an USB stick and type pastekodi -c >/media/"Stick Name"/my.log. Then upload the file to a pastebin site from a different machine.

I don't believe this is true.
For me at least, Kodi is a replacement for "smart" TVs. If a critical component like a web browser is missing, it forces me back to the TV.
Libreelec is not an embedded system, and we can take advantage of that fact. I feel a lot of hostility towards actual users when they have reasonable requests like this.
I respect that opinion. There are different angles to look at this topic. It would be cool to have that option, and users could decide.
Read here about an option for a web browser: RE: Web Browser for Non-Legacy LE?

I want to force the system to use these specific EDID files on each HDMI port. Can you explain why this should be removed, or should it be placed in a different place now?
"Eventually". It's just for testing. If removing one of those lines solves the problem, then we narrowed down the issue.

The TV is directly in the HDMI Port beside the Power Supply Port.
That's right.
Next I would try another HDMI port on TV (if numbered, then usually the first one works best).
Also check whether your HDMI cable has HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 standard. A bad cable is often the cause when users don't get video.
-
Given that the config.txt entries are ignored in this case, could you please confirm whether audio output through HDMI1 is the default behaviour?
The default audio device is defined at the LE audio settings. Both HDMI ports are able to play audio.
I assume that apart from specifying video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60D in the cmdline.txt file, I don’t need anything additional, correct?
Yes, but I would comment out disable_overscan=1 at config.txt to get full screen video. Eventually you also have to comment out those lines:
Codedrm.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/jvc.bin,HDMI-A-2:edid/sony-pure.bin initramfs edid.cpio 0x3c00000 -
Is the RPi connected to the first HDMI port (the one beside the USB port)?
-
Note that 'kernel param' settings in cmdline.txt are completely different from old-style config.txt settings. If you put the old-style settings in the wrong file the board probably doesn't boot.
Yep.

Remove all HDMI settings from config.txt. HDMI settings belong to cmdline.txt now.
-
So I just wanna confirm libreelec and pi5 will not allow 2 HDIM ports simultaneously?
That's correct for A/V streams. Simultaneous audio is possible by using a custom LE image.
-
As mentioned the mini PC is not connected to its final destination TV. Do I have to repeat this HDMI setup again once it is connected there?
"Preferred setup" means "final destination", so yes.
As I can read here in the wiki, audio has to work. As the device is currently connected to a standard monitor without speakers, I wonder if this may contribute to all the issues?
If LE /Kodi can't find any audio output device, then I guess it's possible that issues like yours appear.
-
How and where can I fix that? The mini PC provides 2 HDMI ports. I tried both but no difference in behavior.
Connect your preferred HDMI setup. Then execute getedid delete, followed by getedid create on SSH terminal. Reboot.

Any more questions, or can I mark this thread as resolved?
