Hi everyone,

I am using an Asus Thinkerboard to run Libreelec and i'm having issues with it. Everything worked fine up to version TinkerBoard.arm-9.1.501-rk3288, but all the following versions (even 9.2.6) are causing issues (and that's the reason why I'm sticking with the former version).

As stated by another user, (Heavy image interferences on tinkerboard s) from version 9.1.501on, I am facing flickering issues while playing movies, (both in streaming and downloaded ones). The behaviour I am reporting is exaclty the same one ast he other user.

I looked at other posts reporting the same issue, and they said the problem could refer back to the fact that Asus Tinker Board is not able to handle float refresh rates, but even disabling them from the whitelisting didn't resolve the problem. The only thing that solved the problem for me was disabling hardware acceleration, but I don't think that's an option.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Best Regards

I have the same problem with build 9.2.6 and previous.
Initially I updated from kodi 18.3 to 18.4 (don't remember the build number) and the flickering thing appeared, so I just rolled back and disabled the automatic updates. Today I wanted to give the 9.2.6 a try, but the same behaviour was identified. I tried to have a look at other forums regarding Libreelec flickering, and the one on the Raspberry pi 4 came out, which highlighted the fact that the problem has roots in the audio setting (although I have no competences to investigate that), video hardware acceleration and video white-listed resolutions (it doesn't accept float refresh rates). I tried to remove those white-listed resolution but there were still flickering, while with the video hardware acceleration disabled it seems to have resolved the problem.
If someone tells me what logs you need and how to capture them maybe we can get to a solution.
(I do have the first tinker board, not the "S" one)
