Can the RPI4B just be powered over the tv USB port or is it unstable then?

It doesn't work, because RPi needs too much wattage.

Understand. Workaround: Use the Audio Profiles add-on, which is mentioned a little later on the linked thread.

It has an auto-switch function, depending on the played medium. So it can switch to analogue jack when playing music.

sIRwa2 Thx for reporting. It might help to find another bug.

OK. That log has no relevant errors or warnings. I suggest to reinstall LE from scratch. Sometimes piracy software does bad things.

Here is the correct log.

It's incomplete. As you can see in the log of post #5, it should be much longer.

Maybe PasteBin made that cut. Upload the rest of the log to more PasteBin URLs.

Ran pastekodi immediately after rebooting once I found the device unresponsive.

After reboot, /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.old.log contains the important messages from last session.

You can upload kodi.old.log manually to PasteBin. Make sure the log is uploaded completely.

Instead it's probably an issue with reboot parameters. I'm trying to figure out, how to edit them...

The developer gave me that link for reboot parameters, but I don't know where to use them inside LE:

No idea what's the issue is in this case and last time I had to deal with such issues was lots of years ago with an old BIOS (non-UEFI) PC - solution was to add some kernel command line parameter to use a different poweroff function (ACPI instead of BIOS or vice versa - can't quite remember).

Yep, remove all banned repos and add-ons to get support.

LE is a Linux OS. Use Grub2Win to install Windows and Linux (LE) as dual-boot.

Read here for LE-specific parameters.

Reddirt Please open a new thread for the second issue, and provide more details.

For the audio problem you should find a setup where it's not out-of-sync (different LE version, different video codec...).

With the current facts it's impossible to find a cause.

Zynth! Generic and Generic-legacy have different repos, so you can't find Chrome at Generic repo.

Switch to Generic-legacy from SSH login:

cd /storage/.update
wget https://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-11.0.1.img.gz
reboot

I think sleep should appear before xrandr:

cat >/storage/.config/sleep.d/99-toggle_rate.power <<'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
    post)
        sleep 2
        xrandr -display :0 --output DP1 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 59.94
        sleep 2
        xrandr -display :0 --output DP1 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 60
        ;;
esac
EOF

Make sure it's executable: chmod +x /storage/.config/sleep.d/99-toggle_rate.power

Congrats!

With that knowledge you can go back to Generic (non-Legacy).

Please read post #20

Thanks . Then it's probably a different directory on RPi.

I think sleep.d is outdated, and sleep.conf.d is used by current LE versions. However, you can try both directories.

Read post #4 again.

• You will need 99-toggle_rate.power. That script does the actual resolution switch.
• xrandr makes no sense, delete it (rm /storage/.config/sleep.conf.d/xrandr).
• I'm not sure whether you need 20-custom-sleep.sh. Try with and without it.

The only difference to post #4 is that you have to edit 99-toggle_rate.power, and replace HDMI1 by DP1. You can use the nano editor for that.
