Please test with LE12, it contains VC-1 playback optimizations and lots (but not all) VC-1 files should play fine on RPi4.

An easy workaround is to boot your RPi with the LG monitor connected, then ssh in and run "getedid create".

Then your RPi4 will "think" it's always connected to the LG monitor and ignore the broken EDID of your SABA TV.

lircd is ancient legacy and nowadays isn't started unless you really want to use it and manually create a lircd.conf file in /storage/.config

LE only use the modern ir-keytable way to handle IR remotes (and eventlircd to route the buttonpresses to kodi - that's another story though) for quite a while now so you won't see lircd running on any LE installation - unless you manually created the lircd.conf file

Da Flex sorry, but Zygmunt is correct here. With an underspecced cable you'll get signal drop outs (down to no signal at all) but you should see 4kp60 listed in settings.

Missing modes is usually caused by software/EDID issues, i.e. the AVR or TV isn't advertising the correct modes or the RPi4 hasn't been configured to 4kp60 in config.txt and thus won't use the mode, even if the TV/AVR advertises that capability.

Did you enable "Ultra HD Deep Colour" in your TV's HDMI port settings? If not then the PC will likely use 4:2:0 to output 4kp60 and RPi4 will be limited to 4kp30 as it doesn't support 4:2:0.

Please post the output of "edid-decode /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1/edid" and "kmsprint -m"

USB boot should be enabled by default in the bootloader config, so just make sure you are using the latest bootloader eeprom version.

BTW: the latest LE12 nightly images now also support updating the bootloader eeprom in LE settings, like on RPi4.

TBH I never tried that but one thing for sure: the whole soundcard/soundconfig handling in LE is an utter mess dating back to ancient OpenELEC days.

Completely nuking it and replacing it with the current ALSA default config/state handling (like any current linux distro does) has been on my TODO list for quite a while now but unfortunately I didn't find the spare time to actually do that.

So any help in that area is highly appreciated, just open a PR.

Thanks for the report, I could reproduce it here - it also happens on RPi4 when using software deinterlace.

A workaround (dropping the problematic "fences" kodi changes) should be in nightlies soon

kodi (RPi): disable fences on all RPi devices by HiassofT · Pull Request #8637 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv

This fixes hefty video flickering with software deinterlace and active OSD overlay as seen on RPi4 and RPi5. See also forum report here…

Wait about 20h before you try the latest LE12 nightly from here https://test.libreelec.tv/12.0/RPi/RPi5/

New images are currently being built and they include a fix for the "no display" issue on a KDL-46Z5500 - see bug report here https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=2190093#p2190093

Very likely it's the well known USB3 / 2.4GHz interference issue
https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/327216.pdf

Simple solution is to use an extension lead for the wireless dongle so you can put it 0.5-1m away from the USB3 leads/devices

No, that's all we've got. I recommend asking on the RPi forum https://forums.raspberrypi.com/

According to the log you are hitting the rather common UAS issue with your USB drive (lots of cheap drives have broken UAS implementations and Intenso doesn't have the best reputation).

Quote from PANiCnz

Should I expect deinterlacing to be working with a RPi5 with DRM Prime? Working as expected on a 12 nightly but not with 11.0.6.

Deinterlace on RPi5 only works in LE12 - kodi in LE11 doesn't support software (BWDIF) deinterlacing which is needed on RPi5.
