Everything is still working great. I am marking resolved.

Thanks

OK

I think I have the issue resolved. I an not sure which action corrected the issue so here's what I did in case it helps someone.

1. I wiped everything and freshly installed LibreELEC.

I don't think this was the key, but a fresh start allowed me to test as every addon was installed.

2. I set LibreELEC to wait for the network for 15 seconds.

Originally I had this at 10 seconds. Originally, the third status would fail on the splash screen. It looked benign as it was a waiting for network fail. However, it goes away set at 15 and I suspect it was messing with the startup of some addons.

3. I installed Open VPN and did not install the NordVPN addon from the Nord repository.

Nord's site recommends installing both. This time I just installed Open vpn and Nord is working fine. In fact, it is more stable now. I was getting some inconsistent results starting up. This could also have been influenced by item 2. But, less addons is simpler and it is working.

At this point I have roughly a dozen bounces completed and everything is humming with solid 4K performance.

I will wait to mark the thread as resolved until a few more days of stability have passed.

Many thanks for your input to the forum.

If possible could you post a screenshot of the error, to assist other users in deducing the problem. Tnx

Unfortunately, I can't share any more details on a fix as it turns out the fix didn't stick.

After modifying the config file yesterday, I cycled the PI a few times and everything still appeared to be resolved. This morning, I cycled the box again, and the issue has come back.

I even tried to modify the config file again but this time there was no change.

So, I am back to needing help if anyone has any ideas.

Here is a fresh log file.

log-2019-09-18-17.36.48.zip

I am a long time Kodi user but just activated my first device on the LibreELEC platform.

I am using a PI 4 2Gb attached directly to a Vizio V-series Display that is 3840x2160 native.

For the most part things are going smoothly, but I am encountering an issue with 4K in general. Regardless of what I display, the TV always registers a 2160p signal. If I set the GUI to 1080p all content up to and including 1080p presents correctly. However, any change to 4K causes an issue.

If I play a 4K file, the output displays only in the upper left corner of the display as if the PI4 is outputting a padded 1080 picture in a 2160 frame.

I tried changing the GUI to 3840x2160 and then the GUI is only displayed in the top left corner.

I have whitelisted all the 4K resolutions available, so, if my understanding is correct, the image should not be scaled by Kodi.

Attached is a clean log that is a fresh reboot followed by an attempt to play a 4K file. I would greatly appreciate any input as I am currently at a loss. Thanks in advance.

Adding File Resolution 3840x1920 (Not a standard resolution in the white list)

Edit: It appears I was able to resolve the issue before the thread was approved. In case the solution helps others.

I went back to check the config.txt file to ensure I had enabled 4K. Everything looked fine, but the "hdmi_enable_4kp60=1" entry was the last line in my file. I decided to move it up in the file, not expecting it to work, but after a reboot it did. Everything is acting as expected now.

Thanks
