There are so many bug fixes since 8.2.5, which definitely makes it worth to install LE 10 Beta from scratch.

As the release note says: Do NOT upgrade, because it can break some installed software.

Please translate into English. We only accept this language.

PS: HDMI cables for higher resolutions (like 4K) have better electromagnetic shielding. Your current HDMI cable is pretty flexible, so even if you're not using 4K, the shielding can be an issue. If you get an HDMI 2.0 cable, you can be sure that the shielding is OK.

Hmm, I don't see HDMI 2.0 on the Amazon description. Maybe it's worth to try a cable, which guarantees HDMI 2.0 standard.

Please also try the first point of post #20.

With a bad cable you can try forever. New cable doesn't mean that it's conform to HDMI 2.0 or 2.1.

Read post #20, and check all points precisely.

Welcome to your new life as a non-pirate!

PS: Thread re-opened to allow thread starter to post his solution.

OK, I got some feedback from the dev. No obvious errors found at the log, but some hints:

1. remove gpu_mem=320 from config.txt
2. reduce the resolution to 720p for testing (cmdline.txt video=HDMI-A-1:1280x720@60D)
3. if your monitor is using a lower resolution than your TV (or 2. hint is working), then check your HDMI cable (should be conform to HDMI 2.0 /2.1 standard to play higher resolutions)

Thanks! I gave a ping to a dev.

You're still at log level 0:

2021-05-01 16:43:11.306 T:420      INFO <general>: Disabled debug logging due to GUI setting. Level 0.

-> Follow my advice of post #8 to increase the log level.

I'm very happy that you are heal-thy (censored word ) again.

Normally any amount of LE audio output channels should be mapped to the right amount of input channels of the target device. LE had a bug on that mapping, but it's hopefully fixed now.

My suggestion is to try the latest LE 10 Beta, because of the mentioned bug fix.

Because H264 / H265 decoding is already hardware accelerated, activating MMAL makes no sense to me.

I think your RPi4 works as it should, if that's what you're asking for.

To quote RPi4's tech specs:

Quote

H.265 (4kp60 decode), H264 (1080p60 decode, 1080p30 encode)

So re-encode to H264 or H265, and you can expect better spooling behavior.

mooncaptain I noticed that your behavior is weird on this forum.

- You do statements, but we expect clear questions.

- You still haven't responded to your first thread, and you already started another thread.

- You are answering to your own statement on this thread.

If you continue to act that way, I will start to delete your posts.

RPi4 can hardware-decode some codecs. If you re-encode your videos to one of those, you might have a benefit in spooling.

Thanks! The current log says a little more, but we are still missing the whole story, because you are at log level 0:

2021-04-15 17:07:52.093 T:733      INFO <general>: Disabled debug logging due to GUI setting. Level 0.

Please connect your RPi to your monitor, where it boots. Then activate debug logging at GUI. This will make a HUD appear on top of the screen. This will increase the log level, and we get more info to help you.

Then switch off, connect to your TV and try to boot. If you have a chance to login by SSH, do so and run pastekodi to get the link to kodi.log. Otherwise read the kodi.log from microSD on your PC.

salvador Please post again in English language, or edit your post that way. This is an English-only forum.

The logs don't say much.

Try to boot the RPi4 just with the TV attached (no keyboard, no mouse, no dongles etc.).

Can you confirm that you never needed custom settings at config.txt to make your TV work on former LE versions?

I think it's an HDMI mode issue. LE 10 Beta 2 does not allow editing HDMI modes at config.txt anymore. Find the best resolution and refresh rate of your TV, and then put it into cmdline.txt. Something like video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60D. Read here for details: Click!

If you get video signal after this, it would be helpful for us to get a link to a kodi.log. If you did config.txt changes on former LE versions to make your older TV work, please post those settings, too.
