No. Have a look at Kodi RC apps on your app store (iOS / Android). Those apps have more features than web interface.

Force display output to DP with audio on HDMI

I have a Optiplex 3050 which has both a DisplayPort 1.2 (capable of 4k) and HDMI 1.4 (capable of 1080p only).

I'm using LibreElec 11 stable (although tried 12 nightly too) and I cannot get HD audio to work on the DP using a Benfei DP->HDMI adapter (reading around, seems to be a common problem with NUC's as well). DD/DTS work fine.

I can, however, get HD audio working over the HDMI 1.4 connection.

So I want to utilize both connections simultaneously but, despite trying for a few days, whenever I…

Probably an (LS)PCON chip issue:

RE: Time to upgrade my NUC. What's hot today?

[…]

As you can see on this block diagram, NUC11PAxxx does not have a native HDMI port. It is using a DP->HDMI protocol converter (PCON) chip. It is more than likely the source of your audio passthrough issues. So this is not a gen11 issue but an issue specific to that NUC model. There is nothing to fix from LE/Kodi side.

HD Audio from DisplayPort - no sound (HDMI works)

Related thread: Force display output to DP with audio on HDMI where I am trying to use the HDMI for sound and DP for video.

I wanted to dig deeper into why the DP 1.2 on my Optiplex 3050 is not able to play HD audio. I've made some progress (I think!) but I'm stuck on where to go from here. If it is a limitation of the DP itself, I'd like to understand why.

Here's my findings:

HDMI doesn't work on a tv

Hello

I have a Rasberry with Librelec. It's work on my tv sony. It doesnt work on my tv Philips. I have just the first picture red-blue then a black screen and th'as all.

What could it be ?

Edit:

OK

I found the matter. I was on HDMI's port number 2 and it doesn't worked. It's ok on port number 1.

You can close this case.

No, you have to ask the add-on provider for an update first. Add-on developers are at Kodi form. Ask there.

Quote from popcornmix

Argon cases are widely reported to cause hdmi issues, so first step would be to test without the case.

I've mentioned that earlier:

Does it matter which log level I use for the current troubleshooting, 1 or 2?

I had already read that, but it can't be that.

I have the same problem with a Raspi 4 in the original Kodi Case with SD card in the bedroom and have exactly the same problem here. It is also completely irrelevant what quality the medium has, SD, HD, 4k, the same problem everywhere.

When I started troubleshooting months ago, I tried everything. The first thing I did was to put the Raspi in the Argon One in the…

Yes, Argon One cases are known for soldering problems on HDMI contacts, but then it wouldn't try to buffer before it crashes. A network issue is much more likely. If I remember correctly, log level 2 includes more network data.

Hunduster Can you provide another log file for that error at log level 2? We still haven't found the real cause in the log.

**Da Flex**

Widescreen Please open a new thread, if you have any trouble with the N100. Also post a link to a log.

**Da Flex**

At SSH session, the result of pastekodi is an URL, which you can post here.

Quote from Hunduster

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.

**Da Flex**

Please provide a full debug log.

How to post a log (wiki)

1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
2. Restart Kodi
3. Replicate the problem
4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

Thanks for removing all those NTP errors from the log.

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

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

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…

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…
