Here ?

Yep, kernel 6.1.45 is newer than 6.1.

How many audio output channels are selected on LE's settings?

What's the HDMI version number of your HDMI cables? You should try 4K cables.

Correct.

Ah, now I understand. Then you have to write a cron script, which runs inside LE. elonesna has already described the idea. You definitely need basic programming skills to do that. To my knowledge, there is no plug-in for that purpose.

Your device probably uses an LSPCon chip to convert the second DVI output to HDMI.

Those converters have known issues. I think that's why it's not working. Sorry, no solution.

Use LE 11.0.3. We don't support outdated versions. If the issue remains, post another log.

Try this for an HD Ready resolution:

boot=UUID=1507-5354 disk=UUID=077f401e-ddf6-42b9-95f9-dfb3c6c109f1 quiet video=HDMI-A-1:1280x720M@60D

Correct, HDMI options have been moved to cmdline.txt, using a different syntax. You don't need the "force hotplug" option anymore. Just add the preferred HDMI mode to the end of the line (only separated by a space sign). Example:

video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60D

In cmdline.txt :-

boot=UUID=1507-5354 disk=UUID=077f401e-ddf6-42b9-95f9-dfb3c6c109f1 quiet

video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60

No. The HDMI mode has to be appended at the same line, just separated by a space sign.

Thanks for your reply, but the solution is to a PC that runs Windows. I use Libreelec on my PC.. Is there a similar solution as that one you think?

Did you read the right post at the link? it's post #4.

Curl works on Linux. Which OS do you want to use to control LE?

OK, then I think the missing data formats (post #14) are the issue. I already had an internal team discussion about this. Unfortunately nobody has the skills to fix it. So you can only wait for updates.

The log snippet looks OK to me. Only 2 channels are used for PCM, even if you have 8 audio output channels enabled in the settings.

Read here about the difference between passthrough and non-passthrough: Click!

Try passthrough with only 2 audio output channels. As mentioned, multiple channels will be encoded into 2 (FL, FR), so you'll get all 6 DTS channels with only 2 audio output channels in the settings.

Can you please test with disabled hardware decoding anyway? It could also be a driver issue, not the hardware itself.

Thanks. I'll send the feedback back to the dev.

A dev has replied to me. FFMPEG is capable to play the VP9 codec, but probably not the accelerated chip. Turn off hardware decoding.

I need to try the LE 12 nightly and see if it resolves the issue.

If not, share a log from the nightly...

Quote from REXus

In both cases used format is AE_FMT_S16NE, present on both platforms. What about frames, which is diffrent? Is there a way to change them?

If connection breaks on a higher frame rate (only audio in your case), then it's sometimes bad HDMI cabling.

I would check whether your HDMI cable(s) is/are conform to HDMI 2.0 or 2.1. Those cables have better shielding, so they can handle higher data rates (4K video, HD audio etc.).

Thanks. LE and OSMC receive different capabilities from the AVR.

Differences are at "dataFormats" section. Missing data formats on LE:

• AE_FMT_S24NE3
• AE_FMT_S32NE
• AE_FMT_S16BE
• AE_FMT_U8

I guess you found an LE bug. Wait for chewitt now.
