It looks there's a bug in Samba when there are 2 different files with the same name (which are created when the recording of the same movie is stopped and started again later).

When I access the shared folder Recordings/movie on LE 11 Nightly 20210903 running on RPi 4B/2GB from Windows workstation, I see two files with the same name, different length and different time stamp. When I try to copy them to Windows workstation (using standard Explorer), it looks always only the first file is transferred regardless which one I select, despite the fact the file length is reported properly to Windows.

OK, so this is a fresh Kodi debug log:

As there's no info about switching channels, this is another log from journalctl:

Subtitles are displayed only when the channel from CDG provider is selected.

is the GPIO automatically enabled?

No - you have to configure it with overlay - read here:

Kodi, Harmony, and Raspberry PI 4 with IR sensor newb guide

Verified working with 10.0.1

Introduction

After 6 years of using cheap boxes I decided to explore other hardware options. I was shocked at the price of Shields and some higher end boxes based on Amlogic S922X chips. After some pondering I ended up getting a Raspberry Pi 4 for it's price to power ratio. I realize that it may not be better or even equivalent to the aforementioned solutions, but it certainly beats my limping 905X based boxes.

Using a RPI4 is definitely not for the plug and play…

Kodi crash logs should be found in the /storage/.kodi/temp folder so you can grab and try to put the file manually to pastebin.com to get the url link.

Our crystall ball is still on repair.

OK, I am sorry, I thought it's already repaired!

There are 2 recording samples, from 2 different channels (different DVB providers) of the same program. Both of recordings does contain subtitles (visible when playing them with subtitles enabled) but on one of those channels the subtitles can't be displayed live.

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).

The same issue in LE 11 Nightly 20210828.

How much do the 4B's usually cost for you guys?

Here the best possible offer is 55 € / 61 US$ (just RPi 4B/4GB alone).

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

LE 10 Nightly - Live TV - Subtitles not displayed on some TV channels

I am running latest LE 10 Nightly build on RPi 4B / 2GB and have a strange issue with Live TV as Kodi does not show subtitles on some TV channels.

The issue is related to Tvheadend Server 4.3 (Alpha) but subtitles are working in VLC on the same channel when connected to the same TVH 4.3.

When I switch to Tvheadend Server 4.2 (by disabling the TVH 4.3 Add-on and enabling the TVH 4.2 Add-on) without any other change, subtitles are working in Kodi again.

The Tvheadend HTSP Client Add-on version is…

Thanks for a quick patch, it looks the issue is already fixed in LE 11Nightly 20210827. Great work!

Thanks for the comment but as my RPi 4B/1GB is working fine and has no HW issue (except the known USB-C power profile bug), I am afraid there's no reason for RMA (yes it would be nice to replace it with 2GB for free :-)). Nevertheless, it's a great piece of HW with many use cases, even with 1GB RAM.

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:

The issue is still the same with LE 11 Nightly 20210824.

This is the video recording which can easily reproduce the issue:

Quote from Mario77

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).

I think it was a bug in older LE releases, related with display resolutions announced by TV. It should be fixed in latest LE builds.

Please note RPi 4B has a low power limit on USB ports so even though the power supply (connected to RPi) is strong enough, the external HDD (powered by USB port only) might not work. Use the USB hub with external power supply or a fork USB cable (allowing to connect an external power supply).

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

Quote from unmesh

Where is LE getting the information to use that as the default?

It comes from the IR receiver's kernel driver which also installs a default keytable as described here: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/…s#configuration

Make some changes in your custom keymap file, run ir-keytable -a /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg -s rc0 and check with ir-keytable -r or test it with irw.
