    Hi All

    I am wanting to build an LibreElec TV box - which can do the following things:

    * View video content at 1080p x265 over network.

    * Works with Netflix... (I know - I don't use it this myself - it's for my child)

    Without going into detail here, there are known issues with how Netflix works with DRM system Widevine after a change this year, and it's causing problems which currently haven't been solved. The hardware I am running LE from - a 6-8-year-old x86-64 PC - doesn't work with the Netflix add-on though it used to. But this issue may not affect all LE hardware platforms...

    In other words - has anyone got an LE setup running currently which works with Netflix? In which case - what is the hardware?

    (Perhaps recent RPi's are able to work with Widevine L1 - or something?)

    Thanks very much for looking at this.

    Hello

    (newbie here excuse ignorance)

    LibreElec 11.0.3 on this PC:

    * Pentium G3420 3.2ghz

    * 4gb ram

    * Nvidia GeForce GT730 (2gb).

    * SSD for OS drive.

    This PC previously had LE 10.* running on it for a few years, and was fine (1080p or less) - so hardware isn't the issue. All other sources of content work with this current LE 11.0.3 installation.

    In fact I only put a new installation of LE on it because Netflix wasn't working any more, and this takes me to the problem I would like to ask about...

    Having signed into Netflix using the authentification method etc, I'm finding that some Netflix video selections work (particularly the older, low-res ones), but most give this error message:

    "MSLError: This title is not available to watch instantly. Please try another title"

    (see the log file text below for more about this).

    Installed is Widevine CDM ver 4.10.2710.0

    - this came (I believe) from the CastagnaIT Rep (castagnait 2.0.0.)

    I also tried using these versions of Widevine CDM but this didn't help.

    4.10.1146.0

    1.4.9.1088

    My queries here:

    * Is Widevine CDM the problem here - in which case - can I get another version of Widevine from another source, not castagnait?

    * If not - what else could it be?

    Many thanks in advance, for those who looked at this.

    Below is a chunk of the log file in case this is useful. All these errors came up in the same second, so they might be all part of this same issue. Note that the final error log line is the text "MSLError: This title is not available to watch instantly. Please try another title".

    Hi all

    Please excuse, I am a LE newbie:

    The problem I am having is HEVC 1080p films stuttering.

    Installed is

    Libreelec 10.0.0 with Kodi 19.1

    Hardware:

    an old Dell Optiplex 745

    Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz cpu,

    4Gb RAM

    Geforce GT 730 2gb vid card.

    on a 1080p screen

    It's used for watching 1080p and 720p films, some x264, some x265/HEVC - some 10bit. All 264 films work fine, but some 1080p HEVC are a bit stuttery.

    Are there any tweaks or settings to adjust? I know it's old hardware, but I use another PC which is almost like-for-like with a Core 2 Quad and same generation Geforce vid card running Linux Mint with VLC - and it is able to play HEVC 1080p films without issue.

    I believe that Geforce GT-7** cards have hardware decoding for 10bit HEVC.

    According to the system settings on LE, under 'video', it gives this info:

    Open GL version 4.6.0 NVIDIA 460.67

    - so I am assuming that the Nvidia video driver is installed, not the open source driver.

    Thanks in advance for looking at this.
