After 20+ reboots / shutdowns the error does not appears in LibreELEC 8.90.006 anymore. Thanx for fixing the bug!

Yes, I know about the limited region change abilities of DVD drives. The external DVD drive that I had for testing (I gave it back later), only had to initialize a region code at first usage: It didn't worked on Ubuntu /VLC, but after initializing it with "Windows DVD-Player", it worked on Ubuntu / VLC, too, and never gave a prompt when switching between RC1 / RC2 DVD's.
The reason why I gave the external DVD drive back (and never tried it on Raspberry Pi) was, that some DVD's of the same region worked, but others did not. So, I came to the testing result, that it's not the region code, but the CSS encryption, which is the real troublemaker. Different DVD drives show different results for the same DVD.

I would try the stable LibreELEC-9.0 update channel. Post the log file, if the stable release doesn't work. See here how to post kodi.log.

Good. Your are the thread starter, so it's your turn to mark your thread as solved.

"Spins up" and "has enough power to be used" are two entirely different things.
True. I currently have an HDD, which spins up, but will not be detected anymore by my Ubuntu Linux. Spinning and using are two different levels of energy requirement.
-
It probably doesn't get enough power over USB. Every detected device will be visible on the /dev folder (like sda, sdb... use SSH login to see it). If it doesn't appears in that folder, then it's definitely an USB power issue.

The bug doesn't appear on LibreELEC 8.90.006 so far.
I think it's solved, but I will do some more shutdowns/reboots before I mark this thread as solved.
-
Thanx for the info. I will close my bug report thread, when I reach the 20+ reboot/shutdown count without errors.

I'm not here to read your handbook. I can't help you anymore, because you don't answer my questions, and you don't follow my suggestions.
-
....hmm i guess that is not really the problem.
Could you explain what's the problem with your beamer handbook? I don't get it. I think it's important, what your beamer supports.

Can i check somehow if the graphics or the hdmi port is still working correctly?
No TV or DVI monitor available to test? It's pretty basic to test the hardware first.

Today I was able to test a USB DVD drive on my Ubuntu Linux PC (VLC player), using region code 1 and 2 DVD's. Some DVD's work, some don't. On Windows 10 (64 bit), using the built in "Windows DVD-Player", some DVD's don't work, too.
Funny thing: My internal PC DVD player works with some DVD's, who are unable to start in the external DVD player. I think the DVD copyright protection produces different results on different DVD drives.
So, there is no more need to try the USB DVD drive on Raspberry Pi - the drive failed. It's a game of luck (different DVD copyright protection), if some DVD works or not.
I have to use a stand-alone region-free DVD player. It's a libdvdcss and hardware issue, not a LibreELEC issue. Problem solved.

Code
state 0x40001 [NTSC 4:3], 720x480 @ 60.00Hz, interlaced...The configs don't seem to work ....
Are you sure your beamer can deal with interlaced signals? If you still have the handbook, investigate what display modes are supported by the beamer. Here is my guisettings.xml, which uses 720p / 60Hz as default. You can try those settings on your device.
Check out the whitelist on your guisettings.xml:
Code<setting id="videoscreen.whitelist">.....</setting>Maybe the detection of available screen modes doesn't works right with your beamer. Detected screen modes will appear on that whitelist. Manually editing the whitelist (or using my guisettings.xml) could be worth a test, too.

Currently I have connection problems with my HDMI TV and Raspi. Even a 3000mA PSU didn't solved it. Now I guess it's a cable issue. It seems like some HDMI cables don't stand the test of time, and contact corrosion leads to trouble after some years. Try a different cable.
-
Interesting. I will keep my bug report open / unsolved (see link above) until I did a lot (20+) reboots with 8.90.006. Please post your log files on that thread. If you compare a successful reboot log file with an error log, the additional errors should tell something about the bug.

I don't have the bug with the current Milhouse builds, too. I think they fixed it.

But isn't this related to Kodi - not LibreElec? So I would open an Issue on Kodi.
Yes, it's a Kodi issue. I wasn't sure where the LE frontend development starts.
-
OK, I understand the question now.
Kodi itself offers also a keyboard layout setting - but nothing about input method. In this layout settings are e.g. Korean and Russian offered. So Japanese shouldn't be a problem also. But Japanese is not offered. I can I bring Japanese into the system here?
Or do I have to use a different way?
You are right. On "Settings -> Interface -> Regional -> Keyboard layouts" there is no entry to select a Japanese on-screen keyboard. It has not been implemented yet.
PS: To my knowledge, the on-screen keyboard is not compatible to other systems. You maybe want to work together with the LE developers to do the implementation.
