Nuke Windows, and use LE only, or dual-boot with a standard Linux.

Sounds like a plan. Take into account that HDMI data rate is higher on RPi4 (compared to your old RPi3). So eventually you have to get a new HDMI cable, which is conform to HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 standard (ready for 4K data rate).

Then do the next step, and remove (backup as before) the complete userdata folder. It will be re-created after the next boot with default settings.

yes, same buffer timeouts on sdcard. But shouldnt the problems occur at some point on every libreelec rp4 installation?

Yes, we already had other reports about AAC issues. Another theory is that the RPi4 data bus is too slow to handle AAC. Try this trick, which will set some data bus resources free, and hopefully solves your issue.

PS: I just found this buffering settings, which you can try, too. I'm optimistic that one of those two approaches will work.

The buffering options are active on A/V playback, WiFi or Ethernet doesn't matter. Try to play the same problematic file from USB stick to rule out slow WiFi.

Understand. I move this thread to the add-on sub-forum, because that's the place of those dev's. Most add-on dev's are at the Kodi forum, so it could be a good idea to ask there, too.

Looks line an AAC buffering issue:

Option a) Activate pass-through at the audio settings.

Option b) Use advancedsettings.xml (chapter 2.9.5: cache) to edit buffering.

Did you use our search function? We have many threads about Hyperion. Pro-tip: Go to the forums main page before clicking the magnifier icon. That way you'll get results from all sub-forums.

I've never seen this device before, so I just guess it's a color space issue. Provide a log file to see what happens under the hood.

No limits, we just check posts for spam before we activate them.

No problem. You marked this thread as solved. Is that true? If yes, what's the solution?

Fair question, but please stop using super size text - we hate that.

Try output_format=5 or output_format=6 for RGB666,

or output_format=2, output_format=3, output_format=4 for RGB565,

or output_format=7 for RGB888,

Read this GPIO pin table to find the right value. One of those values should be merged into the dpi_output_format value.

Have you already tried display mode 1 (RGB888)?

Quote from Pableras

dpi_output_format=0x070027

The PDF says it should be dpi_output_format=0x070026 for display mode 2.

I have Libreelec 9.0.2

Why don't you update?

LE is optimized for playback, so maybe you should focus on playback, not file copy.

PS: A link to a complete kodi.log could help to see what happens while copying.

Login by SSH and

cd /storage/.kodi/userdata

mv guisettings.xml guisettings.xml.backup

reboot

Restore your settings file if HDMI audio doesn't work.

Maybe output devices have a slightly different naming on RPi4. Go to audio settings, switch to a different output device and reboot.
