Stroke_Papy Can you write some more details, please? Does LE audio work with a different firmware? I don't understand what you wrote.
The RPi firmware is written to the chip, so it stays active when you switch to another OS / microSD. config.txt / guisettings.xml are not relevant for this part.
If the firmware is the issue, you have to find a version that works with all your OS'es. Maybe switch from Retropi to Lakka, if Retropi needs incompatible firmware.
I know it's not the point of this thread but all you can access from a windows PC is /flash directory..
Thx, this is helpful. I don't use Windows anymore, so I don't know what they support now.
If you connect the card to a PC, the "storage" folder (see instructions) will become the "STORAGE" partition.
With the infos you gave so far, I can't provide a solution. I don't know whether you copied the script folder into the storage folder, nor do I know which pins are used by your hardware. A circuit diagram and / or an example script by the manufacturer would help.
PS: If you can't access the "STORAGE" partition on PC (Windows), use the PC program PuTTY to copy from PC to RPi.
Usually people have at least analogue audio. Can you make a microSD with Raspbian and update the RPi firmware from there?
PS: Background: Maybe another RPi OS updated the firmware (you use multiple cards), and with that firmware LE can't provide audio.
Good news, what keymap should I use?
None. All important buttons are pre-defined by CEC. If needed, you can add functions to color buttons, or change pre-defined buttons.
PS: CEC is made for your original TV remote control. Only IR codes, which are implemented by the TV, can pass-through by CEC to LE.
Skripo Yes, CEC is easy. It's activated by default on LE, and works as you said.
I've already problems with this line: Copy folder "shutdown_scripts" to /storage
How can I do this?
Attach the microSD to your PC and copy that folder into the /STORAGE partition. Then do the rest of the instructions on RPi by SSH.
I don't have that case, but I think your chances are pretty good.
The volume settings are OK. Maybe you have to enable on-board audio at config.txt:
dtparam=audio=onDon't waste your time, there is no mysterious LE switch to route your input to output. It's all about the HiFiBerry driver.
What's your HDMI setup? (which TV / monitor / AVR model, HDMI cabling RPi -> TV or RPi -> AVR -> TV)
If you can't get analogue audio, chances are your volume is set to zero (check the bottom of guisettings.xml for volume size).
UHD is higher than your TV resolution. The RPi has to down-scale UHD to 1080p, which obviously doesn't work well. Because UHD is not made for your TV, I suggest to ignore this issue.
In Germany we used to say: You're riding a dead horse.
LE configuration should work the same way like on your DSP card. Please confirm you're using the right driver settings at config.txt:
#dtparam=audio=on
dtoverlay=hifiberry-digiYou system is packed with banned add-ons. No wonder that it freezes. Because we don't support banned add-ons, I have to close this.
OK, then Kodi doesn't start at all, which means it hasn't generated the folder and the kodi.log.
We are still stepping in the dark. Raspbian has a tool to update the RPi firmware. Maybe LE can boot with a new firmware.
OK, it was worth a try. It's the mix of GUI and video streaming that stresses the GPU (not the CPU).
Your idea of upgrading the CPU to get better LE speed doesn't work. It's as I said earlier: Don't invest into that old system.
You can try some settings from this thread. Especially switch off "sync playback to display" and "de-interlacing".
Make sure you connect a digital source (S/PDIF). The card will not accept analogue input. Good night.
