DRM Prime

I guess Amazon Prime? Note that if Widevine (or basically any other) DRM plugin is used, video is always decoded on CPU. Cortex A53 cores are just not designed for that task. Because of that, being able to play only 720p HEVC sounds about right. Another part of your problem is that 10-bit HEVC stream was selected. This is not supported by HW in any form, even rendering it via "direct to plane" method selected by default. Kodi doesn't yet know to fallback to GPU rendering in such cases. If you select GPU rendering in settings, video will be there, but due many inefficiencies in decoding and rendering process, it will most likely be slideshow.

What do I need to do to get the wifi working?

Your own image with wifi driver. It was explained many times "why" in main topic of Allwinner subforum.

I used the Raspberry Pi Imager. The imager kept giving me an error saying it couldn't create the config.txt file, so I moved on from that, figuring I could just edit the settings in Kodi. Not a problem I need solved, just mentioning it in case that matters.

config.txt is RPi specific thing and is not applicable to any other platform.

When I turn on bluetooth and then go to the bluetooth tab it says no bluetooth adapter, and after a reboot (with it still enabled) it says bluetooth disabled.

What do you mean by "turn on"? Board doesn't have integrated bluetooth. Did you use USB bluetooth adapter?

Everytime i get a blank screen when i try this kernel parameter:

initrd=/edid.cpio drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/edid.bin video=card0-HDMI-A-1:3840x1080D

edid/edid.bin doesn't exist, so yeah, kernel gets confused. Note, loading custom edid is not really supported as of now in some LE images (including AW), because kernel tries to load file before filesystems are even mounted.

Can you try with nightly image?

No, just put tar file in /storage/.update folder and reboot

oddebian I can't reproduce this issue on images built by me, even 10.0.2. So I can't really do much. Except upload 10.0.2 update, which you can use and issue may be gone: http://jernej.libreelec.tv/test/le10/Libr…735-7140f60.tar

but is it possible, that xrandr isnt a command anymore?

xrandr has never been supported on LE ARM images, at least to my knowledge. xrandr implies X11, which is not used here and it's on its way out even for Generic. Here Kodi directly interacts with DRM drivers, without any window manager in between (GBM mode).

I see the issue on LE 10.0.2 but not on nightly image. Curious, I'll take a look.

P.S. i don't have SSH access because on the Pine the Ethernet port wont work.

Quote from kevink

currently i'm using this image:

LibreELEC-A64.arm-11.0-nightly-20220413-5dcdedf-pine64

Unrelated to your reported issue, but this sounds like you have wrong image. Most probably you want pine64-plus image. Basically the only difference between these two images are ethernet port settings.

Back to your issue:

Quote from Da Flex

Do you have a cmdline.txt in your Pine64 file system?

cmdline.txt is RPi specific. U-Boot based images have extlinux/extlinux.conf, where kernel arguments can be added.

then you can append the needed resolution (syntax here).

While I did not try it, it should work IMO.

I guess I spoke too soon. Initial DRM driver landed in drm-misc and it will be in 5.19: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm-misc/c…9a78c721b778c16

oddebian I tested all my interlaced videos (MPEG2 and H264) on Pine64+ and they all work. I would really need your video sample to reproduce it.

24 patches is a huge patch series for just one functionality and only 10 patches were acked or reviewed, so this will probably have a few more rounds before it's merged. Window for drm contributions for 5.19 is also almost over, so 5.20 at the earliest.

oddebian Can you dump your DVB-T stream to a file and test if offline playback also causes same issue? If it still does, please provide me that file. I have Pine64+ board and if I can reproduce your issue, debugging is much easier. I have an idea what could be the problem in the driver, but I need realiable way to reproduce it in the first place.

I think we should determine first if it's really thermal driver issue or is just aggressive throttling on Android that helps.

I think I experienced something like that on occasion on OrangePi PC2 (H5), so it could be driver issue (same driver as on A64). I'll look into it when I find time.

CVBS on H5 can be enabled, but Kodi doesn't support dual screen and there is no mirroring possible with current stack.

Kodi has nothing to do with boards. There is no plan, two reasons:

1. No team member has a board to test images (AFAIK)

2. There are only 3 major differences in comparison to OrangePi 3 - wifi, bluetooth and ethernet. As I already said, out of tree driver for wifi and bluetooth is not acceptable solution for LE team. Remains only ethernet...

No, no out of tree drivers are accepted for wifi & blueooth. Ethernet has slightly different configuration thant non-LTS version, so that needs work too... So LTS version is not really supported, unless you can live without network connection.
