I'm in the German area, too, and I don't have issues with ARD / ZDF over Ethernet cable. I bet it's a WLAN problem. Check your routers WLAN rules (MAC address, device name).

Sometimes (not very often) the MAC address changes after a big firmware / OS update. Because connection still works over Ethernet cable, you may have some additional WLAN restrictions on your router setup. Or you use an LE device name, which has been changed since the update.

1) Check MAC-depending WLAN rules at your router.

2) Check the device name of your LE device (System Settings -> LibreELEC -> System Name).

3) Check whether your apps are using a non-fitting MAC address or a non-fitting device name.

I've checked everything and can't find the problem. My phone is connected to the same network (obviously) and I can access LibreELEC remotely from my PC.

If remote access from PC works, why do you think it's an LE problem?

1) Access your router menu to find the IP address of the RPi.

2) Do "ssh root@<IP_address_of_the RPi>". (replace <IP_address_of_the RPi> by real value)

Transcoding is usually a server-side service. LE is some kind of a client, and I don't think the feature request will be successful. Have a look at Plex, if you can accept server-side transcoding.

Quite difficult, on some Disk's the playback stalls at copyright instead of playing the copyright-message and goto menu. On my Linux-PC I can press the menu-key and everything's fine.

You are lucky to be able to play all copyright protected DVD's, with DVD menu or not. I bought a drive, too, but gave it back, because it didn't played all my DVD's. Maybe I'll give it another shot later. That's why I'm interested in this thread.

Generally, DVD support on Linux (including standard Linux PC) is not perfect. DVD-CSS has been decrypted, right, but we still have issues at some DVD menu screens. I think it's a bad DVD-CSS implementation, not an LE problem, which just uses the DVD-CSS library.

Pressing the menu key is a trick to side-track DVD-CSS bugs. Yes, we should have this option on LE, too.

At first, there was no DVD-Icon within Kodi, it appeared, when I chose a region, why-ever. (On PC it's not necessary).

That's normal behavior on Linux OS'es. If you get a factory-fresh DVD drive, the region code inside (!) the drive is usually unset. On a Windows PC, the region code of the drive will be set when using the first region encoded DVD. Linux players like VLC have a problem with an unset region of a DVD drive, and don't play DVD's until it's set. So, Kodi was unable to use your DVD drive at first.

I use a RPi3B+ with a Panasonic TV, too. But I use CEC instead of IR. Did you tried CEC? CEC for Panasonic is called "Viera Link", and you can activate it on your TV settings. It works perfect.

IR remote control errors are a known problem on LE 9.0. Please read this thread.

If you have Libreelec 9 and roms on your HDD you don't need anything...you got retroplayer builtin...

Do you have a link, which emulators the built-in retroplayer supports?

Do I need a separate BIOS for every emulator, which retroplayer supports (like a special BIOS for C64)?

Is there a default location, where retrplayer will search for ROM's / BIOS'es (if I want to copy files from my PC)?

Yes, changing the dongle did it for another user, too.

Before you buy another dongle, try this trick.

Internal or external Bluetooth?

PS: Read this posting, and check whether you use the same RC profile, and whether you use the described LE config.txt option.

PPS: Read the rest of the linked thread, and try that enable/disable CEC trick.

I don't know your remote control. How does it send commands to your Zotac box, IR, CEC or Bluetooth? Which RC profile do you use? Do you have a list of your RC profiles used key codes? If we know the transmitted key code for power on/off, then we can edit the LE keymap to trigger the shutdown.

We had that issue a couple of hours ago in this forum. Just try the same thing.

I have the same problem switching from 3 to 3b+.

has anyone found the problem or a workaround or solution for it?

I have the known wifi problem as well. cost me hours till i found out its not up to a config problem with wlan. at least lan works

You can dive into a deep hardware test, described in this thread. If it doesn't helps, buy another RPi.

Try this at /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml:

<keymap>
    <global>
        <keyboard>
            <power>shutdown</power>
        </keyboard>
    </global>
</keymap>

I did the upgrade from latest 8.x to 9.0 on RPi, and my settings and video add-ons are still OK. If you need special add-ons, tell us your hardware platform and add-on names.
