Do you mean the note with "warning <general>: VIDEO database configuration is experimental"?

Yes, but since you have it for such a long time, it's surely not the cause.

Try SMB. I'm running out of ideas.

There is a warning about the <videodatabase> tag at advancedsettings.xml:

Can you do a test run without <videodatabase> content?

Thanks for removing all those NTP errors from the log.

I think your NAS connection is OK, because you don't have the typical "waiting for buffer" warnings in the log.

Most of the current errors are harmless, but I'm not sure about this error:

The movie stopped at 19:54. Same behavior again.

Yep, that error is visible in the log:

Looks like an NTP error. Read here:

Thread

NTP Time Server settings

Hey all -

I have just downloaded and installed the latest build of LibreElec Kodi for my Odroid C2 and I'm having an issue with the Time. (BTW, Time was not an issue in the older build at all)

I was hoping the usual pool.ntp.org in Timeserver #1 would work for this build as it did for the other, but it doesn't seem to. I even went so far as to use all 3 Timeservers and put:

Timeserver #1 0.pool.ntp.org
Timeserver #2 1.pool.ntp.org
Timeserver #3 2.pool.ntp.org

and then

Timeserver #1 …

Because Bluetooth is involved, it's not possible without developer skills:

Post

RE: USB Headset / Auto Switching Of Default Audio Device Question

The short answer is no. However, in our add-on repo there's a Bluetooth audio device switcher that is functionally similar to what you need; it detects the connection of the BT device (over d-bus) and auto-switches the Kodi audio output from alsa to pulse-audio. It's probably not impossible to extend that or plagiarise the device switching code to work with other devices (USB devices don't generate d-bus events so another method of initiating the switch is required) but if you don't have the…

You can try this custom build for simultaneous audio output:

Thread

Simultaneous Audio Output

Hi, I developed Dual Audio output support for Kodi (see the post in Kodi forum) and I think LibreELEC is a more practical build for most of the media player hardware. I start a post here mainly for getting support for building more ready-to-use releases for different hardware devices running LibreELEC.

Now I've built Generic/RPi version for testing purpose. I have an Intel NUC so that I can run this for test. I saw some demands that request this feature on other devices, because of limited time…

Try dtoverlay=iqaudio-dacplus,unmute_amp or dtoverlay=iqaudio-dacplus,auto_mute_amp.

At config.txt try dtparam=audio=on and/or force_eeprom_read=0.

Log level 1 will be fine here.

As of today, I use an RPi4 4GB in an Argon One housing.

Argon One cases are known for soldering issues. Especially small connectors like microHDMI or USB-C are critical. So I suggest test sessions without that case.

Quote from Hunduster

Stupid question: can I hide the debug display at the top left of the debug?

Yes you can. Use log level 1 or 2 at advancedsettings.xml. Then disable debug mode at GUI, and reboot.

Please provide a log when using LE 11.0.4. Then we have a chance to find the bug in our software.

My use case is pretty simple, basically I want to stream to a TV video content stored on a NAS.

Use the touchscreen of your smartphone or tablet. Search for "Kodi" in your app store, and you'll find RC apps.

Quote from chewitt

using Handbrake to rip the ISO to file/files normally always works out quicker

That was also your suggestion when I came here.

If I own the real thing, then I don't want to make copies. MP3s for my mobile player are the only exceptions.

arcasys You should already declare UDF when you mount the DVD:

mount -t udf -o loop /path/to.iso mnt/dvd

Hi guys, I installed ibreELEC-Generic-egacy.x86_64-11.0.4, but I'm not very satisfied.... I would like to go back to the old LibreELEC 10.0 version, I don't remember the steps to do to update....Thank you very much

See post #5.

This was the reason why I came to this forum at first. Still an open issue. DVD streaming among two VLC machines worked for me, but a remote mount would be much more elegant.

Quote from Cissou

The best case for pi4 is the argon one V1/V2, on/off power management, and for the remote i use for year rii mini keyboard, far better than a simple remote control

Then you was lucky . We have many reports about bad soldering points in Argon One cases. Rule of thumb: Try to avoid any additional circuit board inside of a case. Such boards increase the risk of contact / soldering issues.

If the fan only has two wires, then it's just an on/off fan. If it has at least three, then fan speed control is possible.

I assume Raspberry Pi OS has instructions for the official RPi5 case. So search on RPi OS forum first. If you find something, come back and post a link. Usually we can adapt it for LE.
