Thanks for trying the default skin. Please post the output of this command:

cat /storage/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml | grep passthrough

What's the precise model name of your RPi3? Do you use additional audio hardware, like a HiFiBerry at the GPIO?

novalis:

You don't use the default skin, and this is in your log:

13:11:58.476 T:1937388192   ERROR: Window Translator: Can't find window osdaudiodspsettings

Try the default skin.

The precise version of the RPi and LE might help to find the difference.

It's also possible that DD+ can run different sound quality, which needs more or less system performance.

Well, you risk to break your device if you disable heat warning. Going into that kind of risk forces the big "Why?" question. Intelligent people love to know why. Anyway, I never had a heat warning on my passive-cooling RPi3B+.

There is no secret setting about pass-through. If your AVR don't receive DD+, then the hardware is too weak.

Loosing an audio track without warning is a bad thing. LE should make it visible to find the weak element of the audio transmission chain. If you're an audio enthusiast, other hardware like the Nvidia Shield TV or the brand new RPi 4B is worth to think about.

Why should i add more ram to a machine that does not do a video stream ID jump with tvheadend now on 9.0.2 but did it before on 8.2.5? The machine have already 4GB of RAM. Thats by far more then enough to just watch live tv!

Yes, 4GB should be fine. Maybe the unsupported stream is the cause:

Da Flex , Memtest ran fine. Like written: 8.2.5 did not had thig issue. 9.0.2 have the issue.

That's good. Because other users don't have this issue, I still hold my memory theory.

To my knowledge, the GUI speed has been improved since LE 9.x. Multiple CPU cores are used for better performance. I think it takes more memory. Maybe the solution is to add more RAM. Check the used RAM (command "free -m"), and tell us a little more about your hardware.

I think it's doable, but I don't use VPN. The basic idea is to write a loop, which permanently checks VPN connectivity. When it's off, the script should switch off the non-VPN connection of LE, and maybe shows a popup (called "toast").

Assuming you'll place the Python script at /storage/scripts/vpn.py, your /storage/.config/autostart.sh could look like this:

#!/bin/sh

(
    python /storage/scripts/vpn.py
) &

The guys from OpenVPN forum should know how to Python-check VPN connectivity. The part of our forum is to show you how to switch the default connection off/on, and how to display the toast.

The log has a "timeout waiting for buffer". And at your other thread I see a "segmentation fault" and an "out of memory". I suggest a RAM test.

Write a Python script, started from autostart.sh.

Sounds like a bug of the skin. Ask the developer of the skin to update the icons.

I activated the passtrough in Kodi (DTS and AC3), but my TV put me Dolby Digital Stereo on 5.1 audio tracks

What happens if you try to play the test file, as suggested by user mglae?

PS: Should be the same device number on both setting lines, like two times DEV=0 or two times DEV=1.

Compared to my RPi output, I have the same audio device at those settings (rest looks OK):

Code

    <setting id="audiooutput.audiodevice">ALSA:hdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV=1</setting>
    <setting id="audiooutput.passthroughdevice">ALSA:hdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV=0</setting>

So I should be fine?

Absolutely.

Quote from Kodiuser102

Kodi will always see the CEC Adapter is present, and the Bravia will always see the device. However it's always displayed as remote_1 now, and it used to say Kodi.

The Kodi CEC Adapter is an add-on with it's own settings. Play around with those settings. If you have other Kodi controllers activated (like a game pad), deactivate them for testing.

i want to use this on my firetv too.

there i only can use the autostart file (autoexec.py) of Kodi, is this in the "autoexec.py" compatible?

Try this autostart.sh:

#!/bin/sh

wget http://XXXX:XXXXX@XXXXX/guide-zatoo.xml -O /storage/.kodi/userdata/guide-zatoo.xml
systemctl restart kodi

PS: Should be guide-zattoo.xml, maybe spelling error on your code.

I would check the settings of the TV (Bravia Sync). Look at the settings of "Control for HDMI" and "HDMI Device Selection".
