  • Not able to play Audio CD and DVD on LE 9.2

    I could not find a line like

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

    in the logs.

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

    Argh, what? I just tried

    Code
    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. :)

  • Not able to play Audio CD and DVD on LE 9.2

    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
    <?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

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

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

    Code
    [sr0] tag#0 UNKNOWN(0x2003) Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08
[sr0] tag#0 ASC=0x6f ASCQ=0x3
[sr0] tag#0 CDB: opcode=0x28 28 00 00 31 fe 00 00 00 3c 00
print_req_error: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 13105152
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

    Code
    scsi host2: usb-storage 1-1.1.1.4:1.0
scsi 2:0:0:0: CD-ROM hp CDDVDW GP70N RR01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0

sr 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
sr 2:0:0:0: [sr0] CDROM not ready yet.
sr 2:0:0:0: [sr0] disc change detected.

    Any ideas how to solve this?

  • LibreELEC 9.2: Pi4 picking the wrong resolution (720 instead of 1080i)

    Thanks, the current mode used is

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


    So no 1080p.

  • LibreELEC 9.2: Pi4 picking the wrong resolution (720 instead of 1080i)

    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.

  • LibreELEC 9.2: Pi4 picking the wrong resolution (720 instead of 1080i)

    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:

    Code
    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

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

    If I use the same settings now on the Pi4 with

    Code
    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

    Code
    hdmi_force_mode=1

    but without success.

    Any ideas what could be the problem?
