It use to work before
OK, unfortunately my Crystal Ball does not show what was "before" so perhaps somebody else have an idea...

Have you tried the Video calibration in Kodi then (Settings - System - Display - Video calibration)?
What Skin are you using? Did you try to change the Zoom there (Settings - Interface - Skin - Zoom)?
-
Then set your TV's HDMI port / zoom mode to "PC" mode, "just scan", "true" etc. (it depends on TV type / model) or use a specific HDMI port which is dedicated to PC.
The goal should be to turn off overscanning on your TV.

I have installed firmware 2021-04-29-vl805-000138a1
This is just USB controller's firmware which is unlikely to help with a display issue. Upgrade the bootloader as well & try to follow my advice above.
You may also try to connect RPi to another HDMI port on your TV as sometimes some HDMI ports are dedicated to specific use or does not support some resolutions.
Also don't try to use obsolete hdmi_xxx settings in config.txt which are not valid for LE 10 anymore.
-
Perhaps you need to set the resolution to 1920x1080 (in Kodi menu Settings - System - Display - Resolution).

I have tried many eeprom and vl805 version , right now I have the version 137ad of vl805 and eeprom 2020-04-16. I think there is maybe a solution here.
You are using a VERY old firmwares, upgrade to latest (for instance see these posts: RE: Boot from SSD instructions RE: Is it possible already to set up a rpi4 with kernel 5.4?).
You may also try to play with EDID (perhaps run getedid create when the PC monitor is connected and then try to connect TV instead and reboot RPi). See here: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/edid

Yes RPi 4B itself consumes over 1A so with 850mA adapter you can probably see a lightning bolt flashing in top right screen's corner which means undervoltage. A more powerful adapter is necessary for sure.
-
I would say 2 GB SD card is not enough, use at least 4 GB SD card or USB flash.
-
Just for instance - this is a netboot tutorial for RPi 3B / 4B: Network boot your Raspberry Pi - Raspberry Pi Documentation
It's up to everyone to decide if it's convenient for him or not ... I prefer booting from an USB flash / hdd.

The "getedid" script works exactly like the one on x86,
Ìt's not exactly the same, at least "gpu" parameter is missing at RPi 4 and "help" does not work.`
LE:~ # getedid
/usr/bin/getedid create|delete|help
LE:~ # getedid help
/usr/bin/getedid create|delete|help

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 8.3.0.1
Could it be a Tvheadend HTSP Client's bug or a Kodi's bug? What can I do to fix that?
BTW. in past, subtitles were also provided as TELETEXT hidden page but it's already discontinued and DVBSUB is now in use at all channels.
The Service details attached.

In LibreElec 9.2.6 it was done like this: settings-> System-> Audio -> Audio output device, and then you had to select -> Pi: HDMI and analogue. LibreElec-RPi4.arm-9.95.1 doesn't have that, which is a pity
Yeah this combination is not possible anymore as the audio drivers has changed.
-
The bootloader config is stored in EEPROM on RPi 4B so it's still the same regardless of OS (if the OS does not modify it).
I don't see anything strange, it looks like a default but you may play with some options (especially BOOT_ORDER) to see the difference.
See this page for details: Raspberry Pi 4 bootloader configuration - Raspberry Pi Documentation
Also make sure you are using the proper image file ( LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-9.2.6.img.gz ).
You may also try some multiboot (aka NOOBS) image.
BTW. 2GB USB stick is too small AFAIK... Use at least 4 GB.
-
you should remove all tvheadend server first
This shouldn't be necessary, AFAIK it should be enough to disable Tvheadend Server 4.2 Add-on and install and enable Tvheadend Server 4.3 Add-on instead.
At least on my RPi 4B this works and it's possible to switch between Tvheadend servers 4.3 / 4.2 "online".

You are welcome, so please EDIT this thread's header and Mark it as Resolved.

Once again - Check / share here the bootloader config (output of vcgencmd bootloader_config )...

Check Kodi Settings - Interface - Regional - Timezone country
