Log attached.
You're still using a custom skin, but it's important to use the default skin to avoid any EGL scaling errors.
-
I'm no Hyperion user. By just reading here, it looks like the add-on needs a fix to work with RPi 4B. Maybe some higher resolutions lead to approximation errors, resulting in wrongly triggered lights. Just my 5 cents.

-
Doesn't work. The cable is the original one (Official Raspberry Pi MicroHDMI Cable) sold by The Pi Hut.
I wouldn't count on that "official" cable too much (source).
Your TV seems to be a new one, so it shouldn't be on the list of problematic old TV's (which need a workaround at config.txt).
I would buy another microHDMI cable (2.0 or 2.1 standard), and remove the workaround at config.txt.
The list of provided screen modes looks OK, I think the cable is just too slow to deliver them.
-
The HDMI cable has to fulfill HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 standard to work on 4K devices. If your monitor is not 4K, then it's not a proof of complete function. On a 4K device, data transfer will speed up.
Any results when using the described setting at config.txt? It's a proved solution for many problematic TV's.
-
OSD could be part of the problem, because it looks like EGL doesn't scales OSD right.

If you haven't activated logging yet, then you can do so by creating /storage/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml:
If you can't get the URL, then shutdown LE, remove the microSD card and manually copy kodi.log by using a PC with microSD card reader.
PS: Use the default skin for all further tests!
-
If this screen mode works, then you can make it permanent by adding this lines to config.txt:
Codehdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080 framebuffer_width=1920 framebuffer_height=1080 hdmi_force_hotplug=1 hdmi_group=1 hdmi_mode=16Remove this, because 4K / 60Hz content is not in common use, and it can cause trouble:
-
...and when I tried to write it to file, it said the file system was read only. Any idea how I get around that?
- login by SSH
- open the config file by nano /storage/.config/argononed.conf
- copy and paste the file content
- write the file by key combo "Strg + O" and confirm writing by pressing "Enter"
- leave the editor by key combo "Strg + X"
Which of those steps doesn't work?
-
The working LE version is detecting the resolution the same way, so my theory is wrong.
Because I don't have this hardware, I suggest a bug report. Attach both logs, that's a good database to find the bug.

PS:
QuoteVilros PSU with on/off
You're not an IT guy, so you probably don't know that switching off by PSU can destroy your file system.
The Argon ONE case has a power button. Do you use this button to shutdown? If you don't, here are your instructions to use it on LE.
If you did the bad power-off by PSU switch, then you don't need to buy a new microSD. Reformat it and do a fresh LE installation. That should fix a broken file system.
-
Wow, that's cranky! Maybe your microSD card is bad. Try a fresh installation on a new microSD card.
-
Do you remember the screen mode (resolution, refresh rate) of the last working LE version?
Maybe the current LE doesn't detect the right screen mode for your device:

I think LE is searching for a wrong screen mode (1904x1072) and ends up using a too high resolution (1920x1080).
Select a lower resolution (1280×720) and try again.

Hey Mike,
- login by SSH
- open the config file by nano /storage/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml
- scroll down to the bottom and edit the described setting
- write the file by key combo "Control" + "O" and press "Enter" to confirm
- leave the editor by key combo "Control" + "X"
I'm pretty sure that's all you need to get audio.

Is there a conf file that allows you to add a parameter to the command launched by the interface?
Or is it possible to mount this DVD drive other than SCSI?
I never heard about such options. I think it's all hard coded. You could write a bug report, or wait for LE 10, which will get a face lifting.
PS: I was just reading that /storage/.config/udev.rules.d provides some editable mount options. Have a look at this.

That's low! Set it to 1.000000 (max).

Remove this, because it's ignored on RPi 4B (source).

"USB Attached SCSI" (UAS) includes a slower Bulk-Only Transport (BOT) mode for data transfer. Maybe CD uses BOT and DVD uses UAS, resulting in different command line options for each mode. I think it's a bug not to implement UAS for eject by GUI.
