It's not obvious what you are trying to do / which creator do you try to download. I don't see any issues with file(s) download.

Try the direct download links (I suppose you are using Windows):

Open, download & run:

https://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator.Win32.exe

or

Open, download, install & run:

https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/imager/imager_latest.exe

Then use the selected app to download & write the image to your microSD card or an USB flash key.

You can also download the LibreELEC image file for RPi 4 manually:

https://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-10.0.1.img.gz

Sometimes the most simple solutions are the best... I would use a black adhesive tape.

Hi

Maybe better with TvH 4.3? Is there a way to update without loosing configuration? This was much work. I miss the more easy and more user friendly configuration of my old VDR, especially the channellist.

In fact you won't loose any Tvh 4.2 configuration. You can install both plugins, Tvh 4.2 and Tvh 4.3 and enable just one of them. They have their own folders so there are two independent configurations. So as mentioned, you can play with configuration copy from Tvh 4.2 to Tvh 4.3 and get back to Tvh 4.2 easily if necessary.

Kodi is already part of LibreELEC image.

Download the LibreELEC USB-SD creator and LibreELEC image file for Raspberry Pi 4B and write the the image to USB Flash or to micro SD card with LibreELEC USB-SD creator.

is there a way to alter the brightness of subtitles only when watching HDR? in a dark room its almost impossible to have subtitles enabled.

thanks for any help

Did you try to change the Opacity parameter in Kodi Settings - Player - Language menu?

Another solution could be to use irexec and map a script to some IR remote control key. The configuration is very simple and it works great.

Post

RE: Remote Control

For running scripts / commands by IR remote I would recommend go this way, it's reliable and easy to (re)configure, especially if you can map buttons unused by Kodi (use search to find some more examples here):


echo /usr/bin/irexec -d /storage/.config/lircrc >> /storage/.config/autostart.sh

And some example of lircrc config file:

/storage/.config/lircrc :

begin
prog = irexec
button = KEY_A
config = kodi-send --button=a
end

begin
prog = irexec
button = KEY_TITLE
config = /storage/signalshow/sigshow.sh
end

Hopefully you won't brick your RPi 4B (even though you install a bad bootloader and your RPi 4B does not boot, it's possible to create a recovery micro SD card which can fix it) but I think it won't help you.

Please note the firmware (which is located on LE filesystem) must support the RPi 4B hardware release. As RPi 4B v. 1.4 is newer than LE 9.2.6 build (and there are significant HW differencies between old and new RPi 4B revisions), it probably won't work with new RPi 4B as the firmware in LE 9.2.6 is simply too old. So you may try to replace the firmware files on LE 9.2.6 filesystem but who knows if it ever helps...

Instead I would upgrade the bootloader to latest stable (pieeprom-2021-12-02.bin) and run LE >= 10.

I wouldn't do it but it's up to you... Try this:

cd /tmp
wget -O pieeprom.bin -c https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/raw/master/firmware/stable/pieeprom-2020-09-03.bin
rpi-eeprom-config pieeprom.bin > bootconfDefault.txt
# default config
cat bootconfDefault.txt
vcgencmd bootloader_config > bootconf.txt
# current config
cat bootconf.txt
rpi-eeprom-config /tmp/pieeprom.bin --config /tmp/bootconf.txt --out /tmp/pieeprom
rpi-eeprom-update -d -f /tmp/pieeprom
reboot
#

Please note you may need to change the bootloader config as there're some changes in recent bootloader revisions.

Some IR remote controls generate two different scan codes for the same key (when you repeat pushing it). Check with ir-keytable -t command if that's your case. Then you need to add both scan codes for the appropriate command to keymap file (so it should contain two lines for each command).

I am not using it but perhaps you could try to search and read something about Audio Profiles:

libreelec audio profiles - Google Suche

The same issue on LE 11 Nightly 20220106.

It's very annoying when the Audio is lost and can't be restored without losing Timeshift data.

You need to enable the appropriate Kodi settings:

Services - Control - Allow remote control via HTTP option

On recent LE 11 nightly builds (from about 20211224) I am experiencing the USB resets which are fatal due to DVB-T2 USB & USB/SATA adapters connected.

It looks an old bug already fixed couple months ago is back in the 5.15.10 kernel, at least on RPi 4B with TVheadend 4.2 / 4.3 & Tvheadend HTSP Client.

Usually the USB reset happens after DVB-T2 channel switch to another one. It happens randomly but quite often.

Of course I am using the hand made fork cable so the HDD is powered from 5V PSU, not from the USB port at all. The USB reset was not an issue with earlier LE builds, it looks that updated kernel may have some bugs.

The occasional crashes / kernel panic encountered on LE Nightly 20211224 & RPi 4B.

Some crashes were due to unexpected USB reset (I am running LE from HDD connected through USB/SATA adapter so the USB disconnect leads to total crash). The current LE Nightly build is less stable than before.

The same issue on LE 11 Nightly 20211215.

Sometimes the Audio stream is not detected (Audio stream = None in Audio settings) after LE start (Play TV on startup is configured in Interface menu) or after a channel switch and the sound is silent (it does not matter if the Allow passthrough option is enabled or disabled in Audio settings).

Regarding to possible HDD sleep, look at this thread - maybe you can play with the hdparm a bit to disable that feature etc.

HDD not spinning down/idle/sleep

Hi everyone,

Bit of a beginner with LE

I have installed LE on SD card on an amlogic 905X box. Works perfectly, with the exception that the box no longer lets my external HDD go to sleep/idle/spin down (not sure exactly which term to use but it is still making noise and sounds like the hdd is active even when LE is shutdown).

Before LE was installed on the SD, i was using KODI on android, and my external hdd would idle/sleep/spin down after a period of time, i also noticed it also does this when…

You may also try the latest LE 11 Nightly build to see if the issue persists...
