Is it fixed with LE 9.2.1?

Cant test cause myPi goes in kernel panic crash after update.

It is bad version and i must skip this version.

Maybe it will be fixed with Leia 18.6 which one is released today !?

IN addition to that .... this bug is not only with indupstream (netflix).

Ifound out, that videos form my NAS with >30Hz have the same problem. (4k video with 60Hz as example)

is it a Pi Bug in firmware ?

Any Updates about this bug ?

Hi all,

will there be another LE Version based on Kodi ?18.6?

Or ist Kodi 18.5 final release and netxt version absed up on Kodi 19 ?

Thanks in advance

I've just watched Disenchantment S02E01 from netflix at 1080p24 with hyperion active on a RPi4 4GB and didn't notice and screen dropouts or other issues. So not quite sure what might be going wrong on your setup.

A rather common cause for screen blackouts, especially with CPU demanding content like software decoded video or power demanding peripherals like USB HDDs or DVD drives are marginal power supplies - if you're not using the official RPi power supply (I use that here and it's fine) or if you have one or more bus-powered USB HDDs you might look into that.

So far I'm only aware (and can reproduce) 2 major issues with Hyperion (more specifically the dispmanx grabber):

4k playback with the dispmanx grabber / Hyperion active results in no signal on the HDMI output. There's currently no workaround or solution available, reason for that seems to be that the RAM bandwidth is just too high. This is a known issue and it will be fixed eventually (but seems to be a bit low priority - it needs to be fixed in the RPi firmware so not much we can do about it).

The other issue I frequently see here is no HDMI signal at all after a cold boot (on my 4kp60 screen) if Hyperion is active. A simple workaround for that is to start Hyperion after Kodi has started, I'm using a simple systemd drop-in here to do that:

.config/system.d/service.hyperion.service.d/delay.conf

Code

[Unit]
After=kodi.service

[Service]
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 10

Not exactly sure what causes the no-signal issue (could be something in the firmware), but with the drop-in workaround everything's been fine here in the last weeks.

so long,

In which folder must the dely.conf?

I dont have .config/system.d/service.hyperion.service.d/

Maybe that?

/storage/.kodi/addons/service.hyperion/system.d

so, now you all know there are problems with internal grabber.

Whats the next step? Can i help to fix this f* bug ?

so, i download some mpeg2 videos from youtube and try this without MMAL activation - works fine.

Here a new video. I start netflix the series House of Money with internal grabber. You see ambilight is ruinnung but NO SCREEN.

I switch with my remote to external grabber and instantly i got a screens with no more issues. Switch back to internal grabber it goes instantly to a permanent black screen.

I guess i have no mpeg videos with 1080p. idea where i can downlad a file ?

HiassofT

what does it mean?

Disable MMAL and try the same netflix video ?

--> i disable MMAL and play netflix but the same issue with internal grabber.

With deactivated MMAL and external grabber no problems.

Maybe the same issue.

But in my case it doesnt matter if subtitles are on/off. But you see, anything works not correct with inputstrea.adative and hyperion.

Maybe tomorrow i make a new video.

EDIT:

LOL !

It works with external grabber ! Play netflix 1080p with internal grabber - issue!

I activate my external grabber and play netflix 1080p with no issues!

So, i generate a complete new hyperion json config.

But still the same ... doesnt work.

I retire.

So, cant agree

Much user of kodinerds.net forum have the same issue.

So i guess this (big) bug will never be solved

As i said in posts before ... 720p works ok with 95% of all netflix series.

Going to 1080p will go into black screens.

I limited to 1080 both netflix and inputstream addons, since my TV is fullHD, but the same issue: If I play any file from my HDD everything is OK, but if I play a netflix video, lights work ok but TV image is black with the notification: "Invalid Signal resolution". The funny thing is that if I connect with VNC I can see that netlfix is playing OK... and also, if I stop the netflix video the screen doesn't come back, I need to reboot the Pi.

Next I'm going to try deactivating hyperion before playing a netflix video.

YES ! Exactly what you have to to! and youll see, with deactivate hyperion addon works great.

Videos from HDD / NAS works fine!

Only with netflix (VOD) combined with hyperion and 1080p software decode you got black screens!

Hi bite_your_idols

No, there is no problem with the resolution i guess.

Pls read my posts and look at the video. All netflix series are working fine with 1080p TV and 1080p softwaredecoding when hyperion is deactivated.

If you activate hyperion the lights are working but black screens for few seconds.

Ok, Puschl try this but i think that is not the problem.

I post logs, videos and make a fresh LE Installation.

I guess, it is a bug which never will be fixed.
