Thanks!

Dear All,

I have an old TV, Acer AT4220 with 720p, to which I have had a Pi 3b connected succesfully in the past. However now that I replaced it with a pi 4b, I only get the boot message on the screen, then the KODI logo and then shortly the menu after that the system has loaded upon which I get some funny color blocks, and then the connection to the tv is lost.

I guess this has something to do with screen resolution or frequency?

I can ssh into the pi without issues, also while there´ is no connection to the tv.

Use the official power supply and if you connected bus-powered USB drives remove them or use a powered USB hub. It's really pointless digging futher until you resolved the power issues - would you complain to the mechanics that your car stutters and suddenly stops because you are out of fuel?

so long,

Hias

As mentioned, a charger with sufficient power = reading of 0x0 was tried a while ago with the same result, but I shall glad see if I can dig up an original charger to see if that makes any difference.

LE 10.0.3 runs fine on my RPi3B+.

Thanks, what I´m referring to is issues with for instance Airplay, buffering and other stuff that I have seen causing me issues whenever I went from one version to another.

Can you disable Apple Bonjour somehow on TuneBlade?

Also consider to update to LE 10.0.3 (use the .update folder method).

No, Tuneblade does not have such an option, but I tried to stop the Apple Bonjour service in Windows, which results in that Tuneblade cannot connect to the Rpi.

I may try an update, but I always have my worries about new bugs being introduced when updating, so I guess I´ll find time to do a backup of the current system and then do the update.

Before you dig further first fix your power supply issues - RPi is reporting undervoltage which is known to cause all sorts of weird issues

Code

RPi throttled=0x50005

This should read 0x0

Tried that a while ago by connecting a more powerful charger to the pi, but the result was the same.

Thanks,

I hope it´s ok that I used pastebin instead - wanted to amend a few directory and computer names for my own privacy.

Dear All,

I am using a PC with Tuneblade to stream music to my rpi 3b with libreelec 10.0.0 on it via Airblade. This shows up as "System Audio". There´ is one problem though:

If I stop libreelec from receiving the stream using Kore on Android by pressing the stop button, I can no longer connect to libreelec with Tuneblade until the rpi has been rebooted. In other words, pressing stop simply crashes or stops the service.

Now I could just stop the music by disconnecting on Tuneblade, but the thing is that sometimes if I watch a movie via libreelec, it suddenly gets interrupted when I for instance receive an email on the PC, which generates a sound that´s being sent via Airplay. Then when I start the movie again, the Airplay service has been shut down next time I want to hear music via Tuneblade, and I need to reboot the rpi.

And.. it´s actually convenient for me to get those interruptions from the email program, theyre work related, but I could of course just remember to stop the Tuneblade stream before watching movies and use my mobile instead to warn me about emails, but unfortunately also a ton of other things, that I dont want to be bothered about, when Im watching a movie.

So what Im looking for is an elegant way to restart Airplay from the shell without having to reboot. I have tried with systemctl restart avahi-daemon, but that didnt do the trick.

Any advise?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, so indeed this was an intentional change and not just me messing up. The method used by Da Flex (that I can also use) takes an extra key press, like the one mentioned by me, and an additional keypress when playing again to make the GUI disappear, which it would do by itself after a few seconds in earlier versions.
I guess I´ ll just have to live with it and get used to it then; judging by the comment of SM, this is something some people did not like, and it´ s probably a requested change that´ s been implemented.

Thanks chewitt, so this is the default behavior? Thought I´ had hit a wrong button somewhere...

Dear All,

Previously, when pressing pause while I was watching, I would get a neat GUI (or perhaps that´ s called an overlay) with all the player buttons (FF, FB, PLAY, STOP and so on), indication of time left and the actual time itself showing.
I´ m not sure if it´´ s because I just upgraded to MATRIX or have fiddled with something, but I no longer get this, but just a bar on top of the screen showing where I am in the clip. I can press the button on my remote (Kore on Android) in the lower right corner with 9 squares to see the mentioned GUI, but I need to do this every time I pause, and have no idea how to make it the default.

My hardware is an RPI 3B.

Any ideas?

Yup, you´´´´´ will simply just need to amend storage/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml, so that

<buffermode>1</buffermode>

is changed to

<buffermode>0</buffermode>

under

<cache>

At least that´s what I did, and the problem is now solved.

Thanks for the finding!

Thanks, it will take a while till I try that one out, as I no longer have the libreelec sdcard in the pi I was trying on. I must be the only hifiberry user who didn´t thoroughly read through the official Hifiberry doc then

For the IO board:

LibreELEC:~ # amixer

Simple mixer control 'Tx Source',0

Capabilities: enum

Items: 'S/PDIF RX' 'AIF'

Item0: 'AIF'

For the DSP board:

LibreELEC:~ # amixer

LibreELEC:~ #

Did that, and got a mixer with about 24 channels with no names, which seemed to all be muted, so I unmuted them all and turned up their volumes. Didn´t do the trick unfortunately And sadly, addons cannot be played around with via chorus2, so I had to connect the libreelec directly to the monitor although installing the addon vas done easily with ssh.

PS: Just tried installing Kodi Audio Mixer on the machine with the DSP board, connected to my TV, and there I get a completely empty pop up with no controls at all.

PPS: Prolly not supposed to work with hifiberry Kodi Audio Mixer has an empty window!!?

Thanks Da Flex, gotta try that!

Well, they´re telling that there´s no mixer on the board, so there´s the answer...

Sorry for late reply. Yes, these settings are in place, which is also the reason why I can hear libreelecs own sound. I guess I´ll need to chat a bit more with the hifiberry guys then... Thanks!

Ok, tried looking at libreelec directly with the monitor connected to the pi, but this made no difference: No sliders/faders present.
It´s connected to another pi from the toslink output of this, which works fine with raspbian and the audio coming into Reaper.

I would need to unplug the hdmi frog the raspberry I´m at and plug it in to the other one, so I took a shortcut and looked at the raspberry I have connected to the TV with the hifiberry DSP card in it, and there I see no faders appearing, although the sound passes through perfectly. Anyway, time to hit the sack. I´ll try to connect the one with the digi i/o board to the monitor tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help!
