    Disabling PRIME rendering does fix the issue -independent of the setting of "adjust refresh rate"

    In my case it did not help (LE 11 Nightly 20210828), in advance after disabling PRIME rendering and reenabling the audio stopped working - from the Audio output devices all vc4-hdmi devices disappeared and it was necessary to reboot LE to get them back (restarting Kodi did not help).

    Unfortunately, enabling "Adjust refresh rate" does not help with subtitle missing on some TV channels as reported here:

    BTW. /proc/cpuinfo may return a quite different responses - it depends on OS / kernel versions and it's always a question what's the truth...

    For instance - I have RPi 4B/1GB and RPi 4B/2GB models, both bought from the trusted distributor and I believe they are original, the difference should be just RAM size:

    Model : Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1

    Raspberry Pi 4 once again, just as it’s predecessors, delivers 1.2A max to all USB connectors.

    Thanks for the remark, this is an information which I could not find anywhere. Based on practical experiences with RPi 4B, perhaps these limits are more strict than on many other hosts with USB 2.0 / USB 3.0 ports as my old 2,5" HDD with USB/SATA adapter, working on another hosts, did not work on any USB port of RPi 4B (I suppose there's a current peak at HDD startup - a homemade fork USB cable, with reconnected 5 V to power supply, did fix that).

    For just LE the 8GB version of RPi 4B is currently a bit overkill (in future who knows). Instead of set I would consider buying better components. My preference would be:

    - RPi 4B / 4 GB

    - Argon One v2 case which is designed for a great cooling, has a multifunction power button and is prepared for using IR remote control

    - Instead of MicroSD card some reliable USB flash key or better - SSD drive with USB/SATA adapter

    - A good power supply (15W = 5V /3A)

    - A good quality MicroHDMI/HDMI cable

    It's not obvious why do you think so.

    Check the current mapping with ir-keytable -r

    If it's not what you expect, check the path to keymap file (path-to-new-keymap in /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg file should be /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/yourfilename ) and the keymap file format (for editing use nano from LE command console and not Windows editors except Notepad with Word Wrap disabled).

    strange we haven't merged yet anything that should stop them

    but there are no addons available yet for LE11 (intentionally) maybe there are some problems

    I did not have time to analyze deeply but the kernel log complained about writing error to i2c related to DVB-T stick (even after unplug / plug and even after reboot).

    Edit - with LE 11 Nightly 20210819 it works again but kernel log is quickly filling with: rpivid feb10000.codec: PPS changed (seen in past, on LE 10 Nightly 20210808 it was rare)
