I am not sure if it helps but there are 2 parts of log from 2 different RPi 4B boards:

Board 1 - RPi 4B / 2GB, bootloader upgrade unsuccessful (run on nightly-20211127-e3a7c06):

Well, I tried to upgrade to latest beta bootloader on my RPi 4B/2GB (rev. 1.1) couple days ago from a fresh LE 11 Nightly and despite there was no error returned by rpi-eeprom-update, after the reboot the previous bootloader remained.

Did not have time to investigate the issue so far, just tried again several times with the same result.

So it looks there's an issue really.

OK, so please edit the thread(s) and mark as Resolved.

By default the passwords are empty in both Tvheadend Server & Tvheadend HTSP Client so there's no issue with an access to both web interface and stream.

As you already mentioned some struggling with Tvheadend Server password in another thread, I suppose you must have configured it before.

But without any configuration details shared it's hard to say what's wrong. If you can't unsecure the Tvheadend Server, I would recommend uninstalling it (including configuration) and installing again (and skipping any Username / Password settings).

Set the Username and Password properly in the Tvheadend HTSP Client Add-on's menu Configuration - Connection settings.

Otherwise keep the username / passwords empty in the Tvheadend Server and HTSP Client - it will make your life easier (or is your environment so dangerous?).

You have several options.

The recommended one is to uninstall the Add-on including its configuration and install it again. In advance, you can just disable the Tvheadend Server 4.2 Add-on and install Tvheadend Server 4.3 which will have an independent configuration. It's possible to keep both (of course just one enabled).

Otherwise you may play with the accesscontrol file which you'll find in this folder:

/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.tvheadend42/accesscontrol

And maybe follow an example solution:

Password reset in tvheadend access control

Perhaps replacing the password hash with known one (from the example) should help.

See here for RPi 4B boot options / configuration:

The official documentation for Raspberry Pi computers and microcontrollers - documentation/bcm2711-bootloader.adoc at develop · raspberrypi/documentation

github.com

Please note rpi-eeprom-config --edit may revert the bootloader version to older release.

I would say you can still use the same mapping files as before despite there's a new .toml format now (see the /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps/ folder).

Currently there's a backward compatibility supported in drivers so it should work if you have the ir-keytable configured properly (the better folder for customized mapping files should be /storage/.config/rc_keymaps ).

You should see the Add-ons in repository - Kodi menu:

Settings - Add-ons - Install from repository - All repositories

You can also use a Search function in Add-on browser page.

You may need to enable Unknown sources and set the option - Update official add-ons from to Any repositories in

Settings - System - Add-ons Kodi menu.

Last but not least, check the Settings - LibreELEC - Updates Kodi menu where you should have the Update Channel set properly.

It depends on Add-on version you are using. AFAIK Tvheadend Server 4.2 and Tvheadend Server 4.3 Add-ons are availeble for LE 10 / 11.

So for Tvheadend server 4.2:

Stop the Tvheadend service:

systemctl stop service.tvheadend42

Start the Tvheadend service:

systemctl start service.tvheadend42

If you wish to remove the Tvheadend service completely, just uninstall the Add-on from Kodi menu:

Settings - Add-ons - My add-ons - Services - Tvheadend Server 4.2 - Uninstall

The add-on itself is located in the /storage/.kodi/addons/service.tvheadend42 folder where you can check the settings details etc.

Quote from the_user

HDMI and analog output at the same time

AFAIK, unfortunately this is not possible anymore because the audio drivers was changed and the current version does not allow that kind of configuration (at least from GUI).

Please note rpi-eeprom-config -e is always replacing the bootloader version with the default one which may be different (older) than the bootloader currently installed (active). And the default is linked to critical (at least in current LE 11 Nightly).

I don't know if the same happens in RPi OS or if it's LE specific but I am not sure that's the best behavior (at least for users preffering the stable or beta bootloaders) as the wrong bootloader config may be applied (some newer options may be unknown to older bootloader).

Maybe some check and warning to the rpi-eeprom-config script should be applied when the current and further bootloader versions does not match.

Today encountered the audio issue on LE nightly 20211118 on Live TV channel (signal quality very good) with 2 audio AAC streams - the first one (2 channels 1/2) became silent and stayed silent during all Timeshift window (over 1 hour long).

Manual switching to another available AAC stream (1 channels 2/2 ) was possible and audio was recovered. As soon as switched back to default AAC 2 channels 1/2 , audio was silent again. No matter of Timeshift positon.

After switching to another Live TV channel and back, both audio streams started producing audio again.

Klojum Sorry, please just remove the wrong posts...

You should definitely see more available Audio options even for the same HDMI output. If you are not willing to try another, it'll be hard to discover, what's wrong.

Try to check / change the Audio output device selection in Settings/System Kodi menu.

It's always a best choice to start with a fresh install if you don't care about current LE configuration (or you can install to a test USB stick).
