Well, I don't see a big difference... Maybe a some timing issue?

As outlined earlier, I would try to:

double check the current mappings which should be exactly the same at the moment on both installations:

ir-keytable -r -s rc0

I would then run the irw command on LE 9.80 and press / release any RC button quickly to check online what happens - if you receive always the same number of commands (instead of just one) or if it is so sensitive to length of the push (and you receive for instance sometimes 3, sometimes 5 or even more commands in quick sequence).

You may also try to play with -D and -P parameters of ir-keytable to increase default autorepeat values.

-P, --period=PERIOD Sets the period to repeat a keystroke

-D, --delay=DELAY Sets the delay before repeating a keystroke

If nothing works, I would try to make a backup and install the latest fresh LE 9.80 Nightly from scratch.

It probably won't help but just FYI - it's possible to turn on / off HDMI outputs on RPi 4B:

HDMI display_power ON ALL HDMI ports:

vcgencmd display_power 1

HDMI display_power OFF ALL HDMI ports:

vcgencmd display_power 0

HDMI display_power ON HDMI port 0:

vcgencmd display_power 1 2

HDMI display_power OFF HDMI port 0:

vcgencmd display_power 0 2

HDMI display_power ON HDMI port 1:

vcgencmd display_power 1 7

HDMI display_power OFF HDMI port 1:

vcgencmd display_power 0 7

HDMI ports connection status:

cat /sys/class/drm/card0/*HDMI*/status

Also regarding to HDMI devices (re)detection just stopping / starting Kodi should be enough, it also take long time but it's still more quick than whole LE reboot.

systemctl stop kodi

systemctl start kodi

(or systemctl restart kodi)

At first I would check if the latest bootloader is installed (and upgrade it if not) - you can do it from Raspberry Pi OS as described for instance in this post:

RE: Is it possible already to set up a rpi4 with kernel 5.4?

Then look at / put here the bootloader config.

You may also try to install the nightly test build LE 9.80 or the stable LE 9.2.6 build to USB key instead of SD card.

Stop Kodi:

systemctl stop kodi

Start Kodi:

systemctl start kodi

No problem.

I am also running LE 9.80 (latest nightly from today) but on RPI4 and I am still still using the old custom mapping files (without .toml extension, which are still supported) and everything works fine.

As soon as you are receiving scan codes, you should be able to create your own mapping file (without .toml) in accordance with wiki and set the proper path to custom mapping file for nuvoton-cir driver in /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg . After any change, you need to update configuration as outlined above (just with the path to /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg instead of default /etc/rc_maps.cfg )

So the scancodes are received OK and there's a wrong mappings / different mapping file used.

Quote from Roby77

rc_maps.cfg are equals

rc_keymaps folders in /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps , rc6_mce.toml and libreelec_multi.toml files are equals

Did you check the override folder (/storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg) as well or just a default folder (/etc/rc_maps.cfg) ???

I don't know the Milhouse's build but I thought LE 9.80 was the first build using .toml files...

If there're no overriding files and all the default config / mapping files are really the same, you may try to update the configuration:

systemctl stop kodi

systemctl stop eventlircd

ir-keytable -a /etc/rc_maps.cfg -s rc0 # for default folders

systemctl start eventlircd

systemctl start kodi

Then check the current mappings which should be also the same on both installations:

ir-keytable -r -s rc0

or run the irw command and push RC buttons to check online.

No, just tested if it worked.

I would like to use both HDMI outputs for video (a second display for webcams etc.), currently it's not possiblle but audio can be switched.

You can change the audio output in Kodi through Settings / System / Audio / Audio output device.

It's strange. Do you receive any scancodes when you try to run

ir-keytable -t -s rc0

and pushing keys on your remote control?

Yes it's possible to have a video on HDMI0 and audio on HDMI1 when running LE (at least it works with test build 9.80 nightly, not sure about official LE 9.2.6) on RPi 4B.

This looks OK, focus on Infra-Red Remotes - LibreELEC.wiki section (file paths) and compare files from working / not working LE installations. Then copy the appropriate configuration / mapping files from working LE to not working LE (to overriding paths in /storage/.config...)

Use putty (putty.exe) or another SSH client to connect to your RPi 4 ( the SSH service needs to be enabled in Settings / LibreELEC / Services ), username = root, password = libreelec , then use nano editor to create or edit existing autostart.sh file:

nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh

Perhaps some global check could be applied to forum contents?

So if the issue is still the same after reboot, it looks your LE installation is somehow broken (maybe the SD card issue) because this problem does not happen on a clean LE. Check the dmesg output if there're some errors, the few published lines from kodi.log does say nothing.

I am usually using just:

reboot

or (if Kodi is running)

kodi-send --action="restart"

Official:Forum rules/Banned add-ons - Official Kodi Wiki

In LE 9.2.6's Kodi audio settings (Settings - System - Audio) you can even select that both analog jack and HDMI are active for audio output at the same time and it was working fine on my RPi4 (but I did not use that add-on as you mentioned). So you can perhaps try that settings.

Now I am using LE 9.80 nightly where it's a bit different (and there's not possible to activate the analog and HDMI at the same time for audio output) but setting regarding to preffered audio output works fine there as well.

Quote from peram1

for sitiuations like these would be really good having an archive of nightlys ... and not everybody has to keep his "last known good by himself"

... and moreover far more constructive, friendly and helpful than: "get yourself a PI", "install regular linux" ...

what's so difficult in having an archive of nightlys ?

Do you even understand what "nightly builds" are?

From my point of view, we should be grateful to developers for publishing them at all.
What prevents you from setting up this archive if you think it is needed? In my opinion, however, it would be a waste of space that someone has to pay, because hosting is not free.
Everyone can (and should) keep the previous functional "nightly" version + configuration backup and as you can see in the very first post, it happened here as well.

Start reading here:

Infra-Red Remotes - LibreELEC.wiki

And focus on file names / paths.

In LE 9.80 the mapping files have .toml extension and a slightly different structure but the general rules are the same.
