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.

Is your hdmi cable connected to the right micro hdmi on the pi4? Use the one closest to the power connector on your pi4

I think this has been answered couple of times in the main pi4 thread.

Yes, The tearing is still there on latest build.

I'm new to LibreELEC but have been using kodi for many years on windows.

Few issues that i've noted so far is screen tearing when browsing around. I've tried multiple skins but the tearing is present on all.

Also I'm having hard time scanning tv shows to library.

I'm using mysql server and the problem is both on my pi 3 and pi 4 so dont think its pi 4 related.

Scanning works perfect on my windows setup but hangs when trying to update library on my pi's. I guess i can skip updating from my pi's but would love that to work too.

Nice! Good work!

I will install and test this on my pi 4 today.

I've attached a small heatsink and a 40mm silent fan on my pi 4. It's all placed inside my closed TV bench.

idle temp is 34c and around 40-45c on load. Its dead silent and i can only hear the fan if i put my ear right next to the pi.

I have a mini-hdmi adapter for my pi4. bought it cheap but it supports 4@60fps without issues.

I have not tried HDR as there is no support for it atm but i think that will also work.

Sorry i missread, I have a micro adapter. Should be same though as long as all pins are used.

Short update on my own nightly build that I made yesterday with all the latest code. It's quite stable and both H.264 and H.265 video play smoothly. There is a problem though with the HDMI output. My TV has a 720p display but when the HDMI output is 1080p instead of downscaling the image the TV crops the output and only displays the upper left part of the output. I'm not sure if feedback on a nightly build is appreciated but I wanted to share it anyway.

I don't expect output issues on a 1080p tv so for people who want to try this out I've made a torrent magnet of it. All this is is a build from the current source code in Github, for the RPi4 obviously.
