The TV detects the connection as a "Receiver", and even shows the model number.
Yep, the AVR definitely adds some data.

You probably need to experiment with different TV ports...
I think you should try that. We have reports on the forum that different HDMI ports act differently. Usually the first HDMI port of the TV is the most capable one.
-
Maybe the AVR adds some sort of an "AVR tag" to the HDMI mode, and then the connection isn't in PC mode anymore.
-
Please test those songs directly from a USB thumb drive. If the issue remains, we can rule out SMB buffer issues.
-
Another issue could be the HDMI cables. If one of them isn't HDMI 2.0 / 2.1, then it might be the bottle neck, and 4K modes aren't offered anymore. So check the HDMI cable standards.
-
Maybe...but when I go to the Whitelist settings, 3480x2160 60hz is no longer available there -- even though the 4k 60hz setting stayed selected in the main display settings menu.
I think the whitelist is loading HDMI modes from the current display, but the older EDID is still in use. Probably your AVR is old, and has a problem with 4K modes.

Then, I reconnected the Pi through the receiver, as per normal. The refresh rate stayed at 60hz, even across a boot. It disappeared as an option in the Whitelist settings, but that doesn't seem to have mattered. (Unless Kodi is showing 60hz, but really using 30hz....?)
Theory: Your EDID was updated during your direct RPi - TV connection. Now your current RPi - AVR - TV setup keeps that setting.

I wanted to run chrome
Chrome is only available on Generic-legacy, because it needs X11 as display server.

Yes, the Intel J4105 HTPC seems to work with LE:
Read the rest of that thread for pros & cons, as well as other hardware recommendations.

@gizmomelb If the user just wants more codecs, and less trouble, then my answer is right. Kodi runs as an app on Nvidia Shield.

Please provide a full debug log.How to post a log (wiki)1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging2. Restart Kodi3. Replicate the problem4. 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 -
NUC --HDMI--> LG TV --OPTICAL--> LG compact home theater system
The optical TOSLINK and/or the TV is the bottle neck here. TOSLINK is too slow for EAC3, but HDMI can handle it.
-
I have to ask how I can find the log..
We prefer to get a copy on our log server, which saves storage space here. If you have SSH access, you can activate log level 1 by creating an advancedsettings.xml. Then reboot, run pastekodi from SSH, and post the resulting URL.

Will I have any chance installing an older version?
Let us see the log from latest LE 12 Generic-legacy first.
-
Is it safe to use built-in kodi commands (Powerdown) to shutdown the device?
Yes. The most important part is unmounting devices, which shutdown / poweroff commands do.
-
This is precisely what I am currently using, RPI 4B, i thought I could take advantage of these boxes which cost half price !
In that case, Nvidia Shield would be the right upgrade, but it's more expansive.
-
Make a backup, and try to update. We don't have a GPU whitelist.
-
Pretty new hardware, so try the latest LE 13 nightly build.
