Debug log, or you will step in the dark forever.

There are different Pine64 hardware versions. Which LE image do you use?

Use a kernel parameter. For RPi the file for kernel parameters is /flash/cmdline.txt. Editing steps on SSH session:

1. mount -o remount,rw /flash
2. nano /flash/cmdline.txt
3. mount -o remount,ro /flash
4. reboot

Append the needed resolution as kernel parameter (syntax here). All kernel parameters have to be on the same line.

Do you also have a cmdline.txt at your Pine64 file system?

Post another log with the other PSU, and at log level 1. You're still at log level 0:

2022-04-26 10:49:16.271 T:837      INFO <general>: Disabled debug logging due to GUI setting. Level 0.

I'm using a 3.1A PSU on my RPi 3B+. The benefit of a 3A+ PSU is that you can also use it for RPi 4 (with USB-C adapter). In case you're thinking about upgrading in the future, this comes in mind. Your choice.

Hmmm, I guess it has been 5 years, too long?

If the RPi is often used, then this could be too long. The under-voltage warning is in your log, so I suggest to buy a new PSU with 3A.

How old is your PSU? After some years they can lose wattage.

gekoch Thanks for checking the HDMI cable. We definitely need a debug log (see above) to track down the issue.

So you want to use a switch button instead of a push button. In that case you can't use dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown, and you have to implement your own script to check the GPIO states. Here is a script that does the same like dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown. Start it from autostart.sh. You have to adapt it for your needs:

#!/usr/bin/python

# This script was authored by AndrewH7 and belongs to him.
# (www.instructables.com/member/AndrewH7)
# You have permission to modify and use this script only for your own personal usage.
# You do not have permission to redistribute this script as your own work.
# Use this script at your own risk.

import sys
sys.path.append('/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.rpi-tools/lib')
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import os

# Replace YOUR_CHOSEN_GPIO_NUMBER_HERE with the GPIO pin number you wish to use.
# Make sure you know which rapsberry pi revision you are using first.
# The line should look something like this e.g. "gpio_number = 7".
button_gpio_number = 3
led_gpio_number = 13

# Use BCM pin numbering (i.e. the GPIO number, not pin number).
# WARNING: this will change between Pi versions.
# Check yours first and adjust accordingly.
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# It's very important the pin is an input to avoid short-circuits.
# The pull-up resistor means the pin is high by default.
GPIO.setup(button_gpio_number, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down = GPIO.PUD_UP)
GPIO.setup(led_gpio_number, GPIO.OUT)

# Switch LED on.
# LED will switch off automatically at shutdown by using normal GPIO state.
GPIO.output(led_gpio_number, True)

# Use falling edge detection to see if pin is pulled low to avoid repeated polling.
# Send command to system to shutdown.
try:
    GPIO.wait_for_edge(button_gpio_number, GPIO.FALLING)
    os.system("shutdown -h now")
except:
    pass

# Revert all GPIO pins to their normal states (i.e. input = safe).
GPIO.cleanup()

Also, choices for what to install seem to depend upon the box's h/w level as to RAM, S805 or 905, etc. - and I don't know any easy way to determine those needed specs.

Open the box and make a sharp photo. Sharp enough to read the print of the chips.

You can't buy 8K hardware. Such consumer standards still have to be developed.

Seems like your trouble starts with higher data rates. The HDMI cable can be a bottle neck. So make sure it's conform to HDMI 2.0 or 2.1. That's needed for any 4K playback.

Add the line dtparam=audio=on in config.txt.

It's an AAC audio error. Expect the same error on RPi 4. So I don't suggest to purchase one. Install latest LE 10.0.2 from scratch (don't upgrade), play some free AAC demos, and report.

If "pastekodi" doesn't work, then your system is broken. I suggest to install LE from scratch. Your current log is incomplete.
