Is it perhaps even illegal, or rather forbidden, to write like this?

It's not illegal, but exhausting. We have a tendency not to read trash talk. So if you want answers, be short and precise.

Which type of file transfer do you mean? From your desktop PC to SBC?

dislocate6236 If you can't write English very well, write less, and double-check your content for spelling errors.

Not a good start! Maybe it was quoting AI without saying which and the model? And/or something else?

We want proper quotation whenever AI is involved. The rule change is no reaction to your content. We made this decision to avoid bot postings. Sorry.

MPD is pretty much the gold standard for this.

Thread

Raspberry Pi 4 + LibreElec + Music Player Daemon + WavPack DSD

Hello!

I installed LibreElec 9.95.1 and mpd (as service addon) and found that when playing WavPack DSD files with a samplerate of more than 384 kHz, the sound is very interrupted. A search on the Internet did not give anything, the mpd settings also did not bring any result. And then I accidentally looked into:

mpd -V

­— and found that it was built without native support for the WavPack format, that is, it decodes it using ffmpeg. And ffmpeg DOES NOT RECOGNIZE DSD compressed with WavPack.

Background: A low-latency system usually works with a reduced A/V buffer size and a fixed response time. During channel change the buffer has to be filled again for the initial frame, which takes longer with your GPU. In fact it takes too long for your low-latency needs, so you get a black screen.

Word decoding: "[bersetyer" has spelling errors. It stands for the German word "Übersetzer". The English word for this is "translator".

Maybe an update broke your proxy, and now the GUI can't ping any web locations:

Feb 13 10:31:50.446781 ZBOX2 connmand[691]: No valid proxy with proxy auto-configuration (PAC) URL http://wpad.sth7.de/wpad.dat for wlan0 [ wifi ] online check URL http://ipv4.connman.net/online/status.html
Feb 13 10:31:50.446871 ZBOX2 connmand[691]: Interface wlan0 [ wifi ] IPv4 online check to http://ipv4.connman.net/online/status.html failed: no valid proxy
Feb 13 10:31:52.176615 ZBOX2 tvheadend[1810]: cwc: 10.101.10.120:34000: Connection failed: No route to host

You use a low-latency setup:

2026-02-13 21:50:35.656 T:1119    debug <general>: void ActiveAE::CActiveAE::ConfigureLowLatency(): Low latency mode: true - Initial buffer level: 20ms (resample: false)

Do you have "Game Mode" activated on your TV?

Do you use a custom refresh rate or display synchronization at LE's video settings?

Wired network works, but WiFi does not.

Try an Ethernet-to-WiFi adapter. I think that's the easiest solution:

For shutdown / poweroff you can use a Python script to check the GPIO state (started from autostart.sh or as a Linux service). Example:

#!/usr/bin/python

# This script was authored by AndrewH7 and belongs to him.
# (www.instructables.com/member/AndrewH7)
# You have permission to modify and use this script only for your own personal usage.
# You do not have permission to redistribute this script as your own work.
# Use this script at your own risk.

import sys
sys.path.append('/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.rpi-tools/lib')
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import os

# Replace YOUR_CHOSEN_GPIO_NUMBER_HERE with the GPIO pin number you wish to use.
# Make sure you know which rapsberry pi revision you are using first.
# The line should look something like this e.g. "gpio_number = 7".
button_gpio_number = 3
led_gpio_number = 13

# Use BCM pin numbering (i.e. the GPIO number, not pin number).
# WARNING: this will change between Pi versions.
# Check yours first and adjust accordingly.
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# It's very important the pin is an input to avoid short-circuits.
# The pull-up resistor means the pin is high by default.
GPIO.setup(button_gpio_number, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down = GPIO.PUD_UP)
GPIO.setup(led_gpio_number, GPIO.OUT)

# Switch LED on.
# LED will switch off automatically at shutdown by using normal GPIO state.
GPIO.output(led_gpio_number, True)

# Use falling edge detection to see if pin is pulled low to avoid repeated polling.
# Send command to system to shutdown.
try:
    GPIO.wait_for_edge(button_gpio_number, GPIO.FALLING)
    os.system("shutdown -h now")
except:
    pass

# Revert all GPIO pins to their normal states (i.e. input = safe).
GPIO.cleanup()

You need the GPIO library to make this work. Maybe you'll find something similar to RPi Tools for your hardware.

So if it happens again without the banned addons you then may possibly help?

Yes, we do. Just follow the rules.

Can you confirm if it is worth trying to add sunshine DIY?

What you want is a professional streaming server, as used by Netflix etc. You will not get this for free.

The problem is on the software side of the server. Some sort of a negotiation happens for each HDMI target.

For in-house spreading an HDMI splitter does the trick (maybe with some repeaters).

Things only get nasty when you start using IP for A/V.

No, devs don't consider this, because it's not a common scenario. Spreading of A/V streams is also too close to piracy.
