Looks like a connection error to your VNSI server:

Those network errors can be hard to find. Check your network (router, cable, WiFi...). I don't think it's an LE error.

Create a log file when it happens again. Post the link to the log file.

Yes, but expect bad performance. USB port / stick speed can be a dramatic bottleneck when dealing with videos.

I did. It looks the same.

You already screwed your RPi3 with a custom skin (still unsolved). Now you switch to the next gen, and screwed it again. Congrats!

The EXT file system has additional parameters, compared to FAT. Check the file user name and group of your EXT drive. The user name / group should be the same like on your LE /storage directory.

Maybe the thread starter is just rich, and accustomed to get a complete package for all needs. Getting an option for untouched interlace video is a good feature request for LE.

Use the full path to the "docker" command in line 5.

You never tried LibreELEC on your HTPC? If you did, what's your issue on LE?

Try an Nvidia Shield TV. It has powerful hardware (HD audio etc.), can run Kodi (app) and has good software support. It's one of the best streaming machines on the market. If you miss an optical output, HDMI can handle that.

Also you are wrong with the eac3 setting, which is of course DD+ and a visible setting in the audio section and the only switch to deal with if you want to handle DD+.

1. Set your skin to default, and DD+ is not visible as a pass-through setting. It's invisible for a reason.
2. Check the real values of guisettings.xml (cat command).
3. Copy a guisettings.xml from someone who got DD+ working.

The German "Chip" magazine had a heat-off when displaying 4K pictures: Raspberry Pi 4 im Review

You RPi 4 testing people should definitely do active cooling, even if the software will be perfect some day.

I'll wait for the next gen, because I like passive cooling.

Audio is working, so no idea what you mean by DD+ default values...

I didn't said that. I was talking about "suggested default values", which of course refers to my statement before (posting #28).
Do you mean, DD+ is working on Netflix now, and my suggestion of posting #28 was successful?

mglae:

Yes, I was interested in that E-AC-3 setting line too, because DD+ actually is E-AC-3. I figured out that a reboot will always set this value back to "false", if one tries to edit it. So, my conclusion is that we are not talking about DD+/E-AC-3 pass-through here, because other RPi users got it working.

PS: Trust me, it makes sense.

Do you have DD+ audio with the suggested default values on Netflix?

We can talk about sense and details later.

Go to "Settings -> System -> Audio" and set all values back to default by using the last menu entry.

This will deactivate audio pass-through!

You want to have DD+ for Netflix. You actually don't pass-through the audio, because the audio source is the RPi itselve.

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.
