I could not find a line like

DEBUG: SECTION:LoadDLL(special://xbmcbin/system/players/VideoPlayer/libdvdnav-x86_64-linux.so)

in the logs.

find / -name "libdvdnav*"
/usr/lib/kodi/system/players/VideoPlayer/libdvdnav-arm.so

Argh, what? I just tried

kodi-send --action=PlayDVD

as suggested here and now it seems to work.

There was an Audio CD in the drive and it started playing.

I have no idea what else that command triggered but now the

Disc menu item is there and it also appears on reboot or disc change for Audio CDs and DVDs.

So, I can live with that. Let's see if it lasts.

LE 9.2

I am not able to play Audio CDs and DVDs from an external drive from HP.

The drive works fine in general, tested with CD and DVD on Linux with VLC.

The drive is attached to a powered USB hub.

It is possible to open the DVD as files, but trying to run a *.vob file does not work.

The audio CD does not work at all.

The icon "Play Disc" does not appear in the menu.

I tried to add

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<advancedsettings>
<handlemounting>1</handlemounting>
</advancedsettings>

to make the audio CD work as suggested here but that does not work.

When adding a DVD kodi.log shows

NOTICE: UDev: Changed / Added /var/media/MOVIETITLE

When trying to open a *.vob file or putting a audio CD in the drive dmesg shows

[sr0] tag#0 UNKNOWN(0x2003) Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08
[sr0] tag#0 ASC=0x6f ASCQ=0x3

Buffer I/O error on dev sr0, logical block 3276288, async page read

but the disc works completley fine.

When the drive is attached dmesg shows

Any ideas how to solve this?

This is the TV

widescreen flat TV 42PF9731D/10 | Philips

Panel resolution 1920 x 1080p

The previous system was no "RPi OS", it was an older version of OpenELEC with KODI 15 Isengard and it worked fine in 1080i.

I found that in the Kodi Forum, is it correct?

If your TV only accepts 1080i, but not 1080p, its almost certainly only HD ready, so 720p native resolution.

Hm, that did not work, maybe because my TV does not support 1080p@50?

The highest progressive modes are

1280x720 @ 50Hz

1280x720 @ 60Hz

Thanks, the current mode used is

state 0xa [HDMI CUSTOM RGB lim 16:9], 1280x720 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

Group CEA has 13 modes:
mode 1: 640x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:25MHz progressive
mode 2: 720x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz progressive
mode 3: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz progressive
mode 4: 1280x720 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive
mode 5: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz interlaced
mode 6: 720x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz x2 interlaced
mode 7: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz x2 interlaced
mode 17: 720x576 @ 50Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz progressive
mode 18: 720x576 @ 50Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz progressive
mode 19: 1280x720 @ 50Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive
(prefer) mode 20: 1920x1080 @ 50Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz interlaced
mode 21: 720x576 @ 50Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz x2 interlaced
mode 22: 720x576 @ 50Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz x2 interlaced

So no 1080p.

No, don't think so.

I will look at tvservice again later, but wouldn't 1080p be the EDID preferred mode then?

The think that I can not make sense of is that it worked on the ancient Pi1 without issues.

I only saw that the current resolution is 1280x720 is nn KODI - System Information.

I there a way to use tvservice to show the exact mode currently used?

Not sure if it's 720p or 720i. Not sure if 720i exists at all.

I recently changed from a Pi1 with OpenELEC to a Pi4 with LibreElec 9.2.

The Pi4 does not find the best resolution offered by the Philips TV:

tvservice:
HDMI0:EDID preferred mode remained as CEA (20) 1920x1080i @ 50 Hz
with pixel clock 74 MHz

Previously I was using a Pi1 with worked fine with

disable_overscan=1
# 1920x1080i@50HZ
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=20

If I use the same settings now on the Pi4 with

hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=20
#in distconfig
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
disable_overscan=0

the Pi4 shows the image in 1280x720@60Hz.

I tried

hdmi_force_mode=1

but without success.

Any ideas what could be the problem?
