I did a test successfully using PINN on Pi4 where I installed LibreElec and Volumio2

Hi,

Is booting LibreElec using Berryboot still supported and working ? I'm asking this question as I raised the following error today when I tried to boot the latest LibreElec image (9.97.1) using berryboot. I reported a ticket here

Filesystem uses "zstd" compression. This is not supported
F2FS-fs (loop0): Can't find valid F2FS filesystem in 1st superblock
F2FS-fs (loop0): Can't find valid F2FS filesystem in 2nd superblock
mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /squashfs failed: invalid argument

unable to locate or execute /sbin/init /usr/lib/systemd/systemd inside LibreELEC.img128

I fixed my issue after changing the cable to use a HDMI to micro-HDMI cable - https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B087BVC6LN instead of HDMI cable + adapter HDMI to micro-HDMI

I can ssh to the Pi4 box running LibreElec. How can I disable CEC on the TV ?

Remark: Will bump the latest OS next week and make a test.

FYI: I was finally able to see kodi on the TV display by switching to the 2nd Microport of the pi box. Unfortunately there is no sound when a video is played and remote control to navigate between Kodi Menu(s) is horribly sloooowwww using CEC.

Hi,

I created the following ticket on kodi but they told me that the problem should be better handled by the LibreElec community as it is certainly a Pi/LE specific issue.

Kodi 18.9 running on Pi4 crashes when it is connected to a HDMI connector of a Philips SmartTV · Issue #20016 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub

I resolved the problem I reported previously by switching the cable between the PI4 machine to another HDMI port as the one I chosen on the SmartTV was defined for another purpose. See this article for more information: HowTo: Enable video 4k@60Hz on Raspberry Pi 4 | Coding with Titans

I also experiment the same issue using a new Smart TV Philips 43UPS8505.

When Libreelec9.2.6 boots on Pi4, I only see on the TV the name `Kodi` next to the HDMI port 1 but nothing will be displayed and theTV finally reports "Please check the HDMI connection or HDMI parameters of the HDMI source. The cable is plugged to the HDMI port of a Pi4

Alternative for mac users is to flash the img file using the tool - balenaEtcher - Flash OS images to SD cards & USB drives

For those who happened to be here looking for a solution to install from OSX (Catalina in my case), here is a guide that worked: Installation [LibreELEC.wiki]
