introduced the bug.

Btw, thank you so much for providing the archive of nightly builds, it's really helpful for cases like this!

chewitt Could this commit cause the issue?

It seems to be the only one related to D2P in that period.

Please find the full log attached, only obfuscated network addresses.

Update, I've just installed the nightly 20260514 for RPi5, the bug is NOT there, everything seems to work correctly.

Do you already have an idea? Otherwise I would try different nightly builds to pinpoint the introduction of the bug.

Please find the log extract attached chewitt

I'm going to try some earlier LE13 nightly builds.

I stumbled upon an "interesting" bug that didn't exist in LE12:

• 4K TV (2160p, HDR)
• Kodi GUI set to 4K resolution so that photos appear sharp
• DRM Prime hardware acceleration enabled, with D2P
• 4K movies (with and without HDR) play back perfectly
• 1080p resolutions marked as opt-in so that Kodi downscales the resolution to 1080p when playing non-4K content, letting the TV handle the upscaling from 1080p to 2160p (this also works great)

When playing a live TV channel (Enigma2 PVR client, VU+ server) OR a TV recording, only a small section of the TV image (the top-left quarter) appears, blown up to fill the entire screen. The image then freezes immediately, though the audio continues to play.

If I switch from D2P to EGL, live TV and recordings work, but 4K content no longer plays.

If I disable hardware acceleration, everything runs, but 4K content stutters.

If I set the GUI resolution to 1080p, everything works (PVR and 4K content), but unfortunately, picture slideshows then run only in 1080p.

Hardware = RPi5 with 4GB RAM

This might be related to the other issue here:

When Prime Decoder Method set to EGL it is working

Questions:

wrong settings on my end ?

Info:

Monitor is an PC Monitor (Philips 278B1, 4K without HDR)

Hey,
I wanted to get N64 working on Libreelec so I vibe-coded this addmon, it runs RetroArch (Lakka v6.1 build) plus the Mupen64Plus-Next N64 core, configured for smooth gameplay on a Raspberry Pi 4 (2 GB or 4 GB) running LibreELEC.

I tested it with Mario 64 and it worked smoothly. So if this works for anyone else, or needs tweaking, would love to hear

I installed it on a fresh LibreELEC 12.2.1 running on Raspberry Pi 5, and configured the favorites accordingly. It starts briefly to a black screen, but seems to crash, and restarts Kodi. Logfiles only report that the script exited with an error code.

Meekys , this is a complete gamechanger to me. Using it on Raspberry Pi 5. Before it didn't work at all, now I can play nicely in 4K! Please keep up the good work!

Public German radio stations migrated to DVB-S2, the old ones have been disabled.

E.g. "MDR AKTUELL" now uses service ID 1:0:A:28F0:425:1:C00000:0:0:0:, the 'A' (10 decimal) at the third position identifies a S2 radio station.

Unfortunately, the VU+ plugin currently delivered by libreelec is outdated, so it doesn't support type 10 (A) for DVB-S2 radio.

In the source codes, the bug was fixed a while ago:

e2: Add missing radio service type 0x0A · kodi-pvr/pvr.vuplus@49978e0

This fixes the lack of "advanced codec" radio channels in the list, as they are now getting correctly classified. Can be tested with the new Astra…
