Subtitles: KEY_SUBTITLE

Zoom: try KEY_ZOOM

It's a questiion how do you have the Astrometa adapters configured in Tvheadend. I would disable the RTL2832 (DVB-T) and Sony CXD2837ER (DVB-C). Keep only Sony CXD2837ER (DVB-T) enabled (it supports both DVB-T and DVB-T2). Reboot and configure / test again.

n relation to the VHF band, I challenge you to tell me the name of a single public TV broadcast that broadcasts in this band in ATSC, DTMB, DVB-T/DVB-T2 and ISDB-T digital format anywhere in the world ( I obviously exclude military and industrial applications). Will not be able!

I did not tell about TV and in fact I was thinking about DAB which examples you can find easily I believe.

But at least the post #1 above is an answer.

Rzeszów(Krosno)/Sucha Góra:
MUX8: (6 channel, 184 MHz Frequency, Polarization V, Power 18 kW)

Quote from elonesna

Bearing in mind that VHF and FM are radio bands for analog broadcasts

I would disagree with VHF, it's often used for digital broadcasting as well.

Astrometa can receive even FM but it needs an appropriate SW.

Are you using Tvheadend server? You should be able to add or edit some existing MUX to your preffered frequency.

oh, this is what I've been running all day long, as mentioned on post #18 (RE: RPi 4 2 GB losing USB - Firmware issue?).

This is NOT the same file.

Rev 1.5 RPi 4 - LE11 nightly-20220203-5347c5e

LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20220203-d383c10.tar

There are now 2 Nightly builds dated 20220203 so you have to look at the filename tail...

Believe to HiassofT and give it a try. `

I think so but I can't tell you details - I have played with it about 2 years ago.

Could I steal the elf files from RPi OS and use them on my LE11 nightly, or is this the stupidest thing you've heard today?

I would say it's not an absolute nonsense - it might work but of course it's not guaranteed. All versions (bootloader, firmware and OS) should match together (to be at supported levels). You can test it or wait, I suppose that LE developers are going to upgrade the RPi 4B's firmware as well but it may take some time.

Quote from camelreef

IIUC, the RPi OS that worked well was using the Tue 25 Jan 14:30:41 UTC 2022 (1643121041) firmware.

This is NOT a firmware, it's a bootloader, stored in RPi 4B's EEPROM. Until it's upgraded/downgraded automatically by OS or manually, it stays there even you boot from another microSD card or HDD.

The firmware files are stored on boot media's partition (.elf files etc.). So they are different with every boot media used.

I don't know which firmware version uses latest LE Nightly but you can compare them with files on RPi OS which works for you.

This one is apparently a brand new revision number: b03115

I am afraid that could be a reason... Looks it's too new and there are several different (not LE related) issues yet reported with this HW release. It will take some time.

Thanks for the hint, I'll give it a try.

Several months later I have to say this issue is still here, still experiencing it on latest LE 11 nightlies (20220130).

Also the recommended command echo 0 >/proc/sys/vm/oom_dump_tasks does not work (to disable long huge disk activity after OOM killer stops Tvheadend server).

The issue usually hapens when I get back with Timeshift and keep watching the same TV program for a long time. Especially when the Video stream has a higher bitrate. The memory gets exhausted, soon or later, but more or less randomly, despite the Timeshift Maximum RAM size reduction. For some (usually even quite long) time the free RAM is quite high, oscilating about bottom limit (based on Timeshift Maximum RAM settings) but suddenly it gets exhausted quickly to zero.

I suppose it's a Tvheadend / Timeshift issue (currently using addon Tvheadend Server 4.3 (Alpha) 10.80.4.103 but the same with 4.2).

The worst and most annoying issue is that the LibreELEC is completely frozen for unpredictably long time after OOM killer's action (can take hours - tested). It depends on RAM size so I suppose the dumps are flushed to boot media. Is there any way to stop it please?

It's a text editor. See: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/42980/th…ne-text-editor/

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?
