for the ones with Harmony hub the BT option is way more snappier and works out of the box

all i can see in the kodi log file is:

ERROR <general>: SMBDirectory->GetDirectory: Unable to open directory : 'smb://USERNAME:[email protected]/

unix_err:'6e' error : 'Connection timed out'

ERROR <general>: CGUIDialogFileBrowser::GetDirectory(smb://USERNAME:PASSWORD@PC Name/) failed

ERROR <general>: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: Couldn't connect to server(7)

I have no idea why that ip string shows up. My local network is 192.168.1.* and not 56.

Ar we the only 2 that uses SMB and nightly with problems?

Will it be supported as audio pass-through format or just like pcm format?

passthrough via hdmi to receiver so the receiver does the job. tested atmos, dtsx etc all working

Quote from linuxuser

Sorry if it's dumb question but can this build output dolby atmos audio format? Thank you for your precious time and keep up the good work

Yes.

I wonder the same.

SMB shares from windows computer aren't accessible via later nightly builds for me either.

Ive been fiddling around with different settings, v1 v2 and v3 settings but i cannot seem to access Libreelec from a windows pc or other way around.

This worked perfect earilier and my setup hasnt changed.

Kodi on PC, Rpi 3, and 2 Apple TV 4k (Mrmc) all shares same library and SMB works there np, its just the pi4 that wont work atm.

Ok did some more testing today. Did reset my AVR and HDR works everytime now.

updated from current nightly to this build with HDR went fine both from SD card and SSD hdd.

HDR plays nicely Thank you for this! Been waiting long time for this to arrive for the pi4

I did chapter skip both ways and it works for me.

Not much we can do about it unless you post logs. Please also post the edid of your screen - run:

Code

cat /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/edid > edid.dat

and attach the edid.dat file

so long,

Hias

My bad. For some reason my Pioneer reciever seems not to like HDR from the pi4 at times.

I connected the pi4 directly to my tv and HDR plays fine

Strange with the reciever as it passes HDR from shield and AppleTV 4k without issues. I did test same inputs/cables and it seems that it passes HDR at times but only works randomly with the pi4 for some unknown reason.

I will try and reset the reciever to factory default and see if that helps. but another day, there is a lot to configure etc after a reset

Quote from HiassofT

Please do a fresh install with the latest nightly on a separate card and then update with the tar in this thread - upgrading from 9.2 is not supported.

so long,

Hias

Thats what i did this morning, went from LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-9.80-nightly-20210130-0b9711c to LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-9.80-devel-20210205165343-b642f3c but HDR wont kick in for me when testing. everything else works fine but no HDR. works fine for the rest of my equipment and UHD mode etc is enabled.

Will test around some more but atm no luck.

Great work with 4k, performance seems exellent but for some reason i cant get full screen. Works fine woth 1080

edit: see the clock, it doesnt fit

Works fine on my setup so must be something at your end.

Try TVMAZE or TVDB addons as providers instead.

I have no issues scanning that show here.

niceee:)

what about booting? Is it fast of you see the black screen with text?

boot time is pretty much same as on my SD card id say.

Overall it feels nicer and faster and hopefully in a near future we will get smooth playback and no screen tearing

Im looking forward for when the HDR/Atmos arrives.

Make a fresh install of le on the ssd and let us know.

works like charm now

I'm having some issues on boot atm. most of the time when booting libreelec it stops on "waiting for network" and then nothing happens.

Apart from that the response in library browsing etc is much smoother now

Maybe i should just fresh install kodi instead of using old backups and see if it runs better.

I have also moved my install to ssd today. I did install rasbian and updated/fixed boot manager that way and then I did a fresh install of libreelec

So far so good.

Haven't done any testings yet but will do it tomorrow and see how it goes.

Quote from Marciano

how about tearing in the menu’s etc?

Still same.

I did upgrade to 9.2.3 on my pi4 without issues.

I'm pretty sure that you are not the only one

I use Harmony Elite and Harmony Ultimate remotes with Libreelec but i use them with bluetooth instead of ir.

works flawless and are very fast in response.

Both devices are setup as MCE keyboard.

Hello Sanity,

Thanks for your comments. Understood your option. Would you share how does it looks like ? Which type of casing, and fan, power supply ?

Thanks

Hey,

At the moment I don't use a case for it. There were none availible when i bought my pi4

The fan is just a noname that I had spare and I have just put it on top of the pi for now. The power supply is a original one.

I'll buy a case as soon as I can find one and it will prolly be a larger case cause I believe that I always need a fan to keep decent temperatures!

Hello all,

I am currently seeing temp btw 70 and 75°C (for 25¨° in the room) ... so close to the 80° limit I heard about.

I have seen and read that the new firmware update from Rasp team is allowing up to 6 deg decrease so I wonder if this is something I can implement over the current Libreelec version I am running : "LibreELEC (Leia) 9.2 ALPHA1 with Raspberry Pi 4B Support"

I have not updated my firmware and I had same temps as you before I added a small 40mm fan on top of the pi.

My idle temps are now around 34-42 C depending on the room temperature.

I've read some various reports about the firmwares pros and cons and decided not to update for now.

The fan is doing a great job and i can only hear it if i put my ear close to it.
