Is it possible to update to the nightly build with hdr support and keep all my other addons and settings in kodi?

And if possible how do I instal this nightly build ?

And can I downgrade back to 9.2.6 if needed?

Or is it better to take a New sd card and fresh install with latest nightly build and reinstall my addons?

Can you make a New sd card with nightly builds with the usb-SB creator?

It's best to do a fresh install of the official LE 10 beta 1 release (or the latest nightly build) on a separate card and then update it with the test build (copy the tar file to the Update share via SMB or to the /storage/.update/ folder via scp and then reboot).

Upgrading from LE 9.2 is not supported (it might work, but depending on installed addons you can end up with a real mess) and downgrading isn't supported at all (you'll definitely end up with an unusable system).

The test builds I post here in this thread only contain a few additions that aren't in current nightly builds and if testing goes fine we'll include the changes in LE 10 / nightlies - switching from the test builds to LE10 nightlies or the next official release will work without issues.

Create a /storage/.config/kodi.conf file with the following line

LIRC_SOCKET_PATH=/var/run/lirc/lircd.irtrans

Not sure I get the 'whitepoint' stuff

Sorry, I should have better avoided the term "whitepoint" in this context. What I meant was what you mentioned later, due to the wrong matrix the RGB values won't be quite correct, colors skewed, and white won't be white.

4kp50/60 output isn't implemented in this build, this is still in the queue (we tested an early patch a few weeks ago but it's not 100% there yet).

4kp50/60 HEVC decoding is more performant now, so 1080p50/60 output of such files will be a lot better (previously the decoder couldn't keep up resulting in a/v sync drifting away). These optimizations are still WIP but testing showed it's already mostly working fine.

If you are in the mood for some experimental testing here's a new testbuild to try:

LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-10.0-devel-20210409193846-98e0bda.tar

Kodi and video driver now signal BT.2020 colorspace, my LG C8 now shows BT.2020 in status info (which it didn't before).

Conversion matrix in video driver is unchanged so whitepoint most certainly isn't right. 10/12bit output is still missing as well, but hopefully we're one step closer to correct HDR output.

The build also contains current WIP HEVC optimizations and latest kodi Matrix changes. High-bitrate and 50/60fps HEVC videos should perform better now but beware, there might still be bugs

Thanks for the report! I could reproduce the issue, it seems to be caused by the LibreELEC settings addon. I've created a github issue to track that here: [BUG] LE settings addon causes crashes when switching profiles · Issue #5303 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

I'd recommend testing with video=HDMI-A-1:[email protected] added to the end of /flash/cmdline.txt first. See eg here RE: getting log files

If your monitor doesn't support full HD then use eg [email protected]

Also drop all the hdmi options you added in config.txt.

If you get a picture then ssh in and run "vcdbg log msg" and post the output you got.

This is no longer possible by default. You could try using pulseaudio or creating an asound.conf file to do this (search the forum for more info), but I wouldn't recommend that as it isn't actually hassle-free.

Hias

Please test with the latest nightly build from here: Index of /

Also note that the hdmi options in config.txt won't have any effect in LE 10 - you now have to use drm.edid_firmware and video kernel command line options like on x86 and all other linux systems if you need to work around video issues.

see here: RE: libreelec10 - No Audio on 3,5mm Jack

Best place to track would be to create a github issue Issues · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub - please add a link to the sample file there, too and a link to this forum thread

Quote from Da Flex

The user never mentioned the LE version. For LE 9.2.6 it's the config.txt way, for LE 10 Beta it's kernel options.

of course he did - have a closer look at the picture in post 11 RE: Is there an autostart script that will run if LE doesn't detect a monitor?

so long,

Hias

Da Flex no. The old hdmi_xxx config.txt options no longer have any effect on LE 10. We are finally using open source linux drivers (drm) now. drm.edid_firmware= and video= kernel command line options are the way to go now (like on all other linux systems).

Thanks for testing!

In this case just uninstall the imon addon and create a /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg file with the following content

* * imon_mce.toml

This will make the configuration permanent and is basically what the addon tried to achieve (just in a slightly broken way).

polarrys can you check if you remote works if you run the following command?

ir-keytable -c -w /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps/imon_mce.toml

Thanks a lot for the sample file!

I've forwarded it to the RPi devs, they could reproduce the issue and are looking into it.

Hias

Please provide a sample file (30sec-1min should do).

Dolby Digital Plus / E-AC3 passthrough is broken in kodi Garbled sound with DD+/EAC3 passthrough and official Dolby DD+ 7.1 sample · Issue #19182 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub - until that's fixed disable DD+/E-AC3 passthrough in audio settings.

Make sure you use the right HDMI port, the one next to the SD card slot. CEC works fine here using that on my Pi400 (CEC won't work on the HDMI port next to the USB-C power connector).
