It makes sense if I want to simply buy a box that already has a case, remote and a power cable.

You can have all that with an RPi, if you're a "maker". Anyway, I get your point now.

It doesn't have to have Android but it does have to be an android box (media player with remote). I simply want a normal player where I will install Libreelec and use only that. I will not use Android but I do not want RPi or anything like that, I want android box.

Makes no sense to me. If you don't need Android, then hardware specs and open source support are everything that counts.

Of course there are better devices for higher prices. I'm still puzzling why the thread starter doesn't just installs the Kodi app on whatever Android box, because that's good enough for playing from external HDD.

We are promoting RPi's so much, because they have very good open source support. That's an important benefit after a couple of years, when Chinese Android box companies simply stop updating. Our community isn't bad by the way.

An external HDD doesn't work on those boxes?

Are you aware that those boxes have a locked boot loader? So you can't install an OS on internal storage.

If you have to have Android, then my advice is to get an RPi4B (or RPi 400), and make two microSD's with Android and LE.

Raven After some more posts, the forum software stops manual verification. Don't ask me, how much.

I'm using the "ZDF Mediathek" on RPi3B+. I have the "Kodi Nerds" repo installed. Maybe that solves the Python dependency.

OK, then you did everything right. You could buy a soundbar, which should fix the audio issue of your TV.

Not sure whether you found the sampling rate settings. Instructions:

1. Go to Settings -> System
2. Enable "Advanced" or "Expert" mode at bottom left
3. Go to Audio -> Output configuration and switch to "Fixed"
   
4. Go to Limit sampling rate (kHz) and switch to "44.1"

Thanks for the feedback! Because there are no settings for audio-channel-routing, I'm very sure it's a bug.

...this happens to all files with 4k hdr and HD Audio pass-through...

Maybe buffer size isn't large enough for HD audio. Try this at /storage/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml:

<advancedsettings version="1.0">
    <cache>
      <memorysize>2000000000</memorysize> <!-- 2GB buffer size -->
    </cache>
</advancedsettings>

Most installations are simple enough to copy and paste files instead of using a package manager. If you provide a link to those scripts, then someone eventually posts some installation hints.

I'm skeptical about the web interface, because Kodi already has it's own. My advice is to use one or more LED's instead. That's good enough for showing battery level.

There is still an issue. After power down the fan don't work anymore. I have to start the argononed.py in /storage/.config.

This file starts the fan and the buttons but it then hangs and I must abort it with ctrl-c.

Create /storage/.config/autostart.sh with this content:

#!/bin/sh

(
    python /storage/.config/argononed.py
) &

Please activate logging on GUI, reproduce the error and post the resulting URL of pastekodi.

I have a BRAND new Micro HDMI adapter. Got it yesterday before whining here.

Hmm, that's no info about it's HDMI version unfortunately. I've seen some RPi3->RPi4 switchers, having no pic after the switch, and the cable was the issue.

Quote from donbrew

The cable works fine with rpi3B and several other boxes. This is only on pi4 LE.

I'm still skeptical about your HDMI cable. Chances are that RPi4B uses a higher data rate compared to RPi3B. You've been reduced data rate by using a custom config.txt, which made it work.

Please check the HDMI version of your cable, it should be 2.0 or 2.1.

Maybe this has been fixed at LE 10 Beta. Give it a shot.
