Did it work fine with 11.0.1?

If yes then quite certainly the reason is I messed up (chewitt reported it to me earlier this week). A fix for that should be out soon (just need to find some spare time).

I've had good experience with Sandisk Extreme Pro 32GB, just be sure to buy from a reputable seller as there are lots of fakes out there from shady sellers on ebay, aliexpress, amazon marketplace etc.

Anything below 32GB doesn't make sense price-wise, if you need more space then choose a larger one (although I'd use a separate, external USB storage device for that).

We are still waiting for an updated rpi.gpio package which finally uses the standard libgpiod method instead of the ancient, hacky direct memory access which is soon going to break.

Once that's released we'll update the package and the RPi tools addon and make it available for RPi4/aarch64 as well.

Kodi doesn't support / respect the set screen orientation so, sorry, no, there's no solution yet.

I think kodi devs are aware of that but it wouldn't hurt if you open a kodi issue if one doesn't exist yet here:

More precisely in LE 9.2.x RPi4 builds used a 32bit kernel, LE 10 and later use the 64 bit kernel.

in LE12 some of the 64bit-capable devices (RPi4, Allwinner) were switched from 32bit userspace to 64bit - but some devices (Amlogic, Rockchip) are still missing and run with 32bit userspace. They may or may not be switched to 64bit userspace as well at some point.

While RPi3 and later RPi2s would be capable of running 64bit kernel and userspace we currently have no plans to release separate 64bit "RPi3" builds. It would just complicate things and as there are known issues with the dwc_otg USB driver in 64bit due to missing FIQ support (esp with USB audio cards) the overall user experience might be worse than it's now.

Has anybody successfully seen CEC work through an HDMI splitter?

Last time I checked CEC worked fine with my HDFury VRRoom - a really nice device but it might be a bit over your budget.

FYI: the PoE HAT fix is now included in latest LE11 and LE12 nightlies (20230801 and later)

Do a fresh installation of LE 11.0.3 and follow the instructions in config.txt - this has been tested on RPi3 and RPi4

# Use distroconfig-composite.txt instead of distroconfig.txt to enable
# composite video output.
# The composite video mode needs to be configured in cmdline.txt:
# For PAL add: video=Composite-1:720x576@50ie
# For NTSC add: video=Composite-1:720x480@60ie

You can change settings level in the left sidemenu in settings - at the botton it says Basic/Standard/Advanced/Expert

There are 2 minor - but important issues:

First, you have to use "gpio_ir_recv" (as reported under "Driver:" in the ir-keytable output) as the first parameter, not "gpio-rc-recv" (that was the old driver name several years ago, but that has changed).

Second, the "rc-rc6-mce" keytable parameter comes from the IR driver, and in this case the gpio-ir dtoverlay (the dtoverlay has a parameter to change that, but that's not needed and could cause other issues if you invent some new name here) - see https://github.com/raspberrypi/li…DME#L1315-L1316

To keep it simple you can ignore the keytable name and use "*" as the second parameter.

So, to sum it up, rc_maps.cfg should look like this:

gpio_ir_recv * nec_alma.toml

Unfortunately we currently have issues with our CI ATM (it's being investigated) so we don't have builds with the deinterlace improvement yet.

I hope we can resolve the issues soon and new builds are up in the next few days.

You can do this with Kodi's JSON-RPC API, it also supports notifications on playback start/end.

JSON-RPC API - Official Kodi Wiki

Make sure you have "Allow remote control from applications on this system" enabled in Kodi settings->Services->Control

To test this functionality on LE you can use texturecache.py monitor - this will print the notifications sent by kodi. eg when playing a movie:

LibreELEC:~ # texturecache.py monitor
2023-07-25 12:47:13.082270: Playlist.OnAdd       : {"item": {"title": "H264_01_1080i_25-mobcal_ter.mkv", "type": "movie"}, "playlistid": 1, "position": 0}
2023-07-25 12:47:13.132988: Player.OnPlay        : {"item": {"title": "H264_01_1080i_25-mobcal_ter.mkv", "type": "movie"}, "player": {"playerid": 1, "speed": 1}}
2023-07-25 12:47:13.885345: Player.OnAVChange    : {"item": {"title": "H264_01_1080i_25-mobcal_ter.mkv", "type": "movie"}, "player": {"playerid": 1, "speed": 1}}
2023-07-25 12:47:13.894253: Player.OnAVStart     : {"item": {"title": "H264_01_1080i_25-mobcal_ter.mkv", "type": "movie"}, "player": {"playerid": 1, "speed": 1}}
2023-07-25 12:47:13.905896: Player.OnAVChange    : {"item": {"title": "H264_01_1080i_25-mobcal_ter.mkv", "type": "movie"}, "player": {"playerid": 1, "speed": 1}}
2023-07-25 12:47:23.863005: VideoLibrary.OnUpdate: {"id": -1, "type": ""}
2023-07-25 12:47:23.893663: Player.OnStop        : {"end": true, "item": {"title": "H264_01_1080i_25-mobcal_ter.mkv", "type": "movie"}}

Have a look at /usr/bin/texturecache.py to see how that's implemented

I recommend getting the official RPi power supply

Buy a Raspberry Pi 12.5W Micro USB Power Supply – Raspberry Pi

The official and recommended micro USB power supply for all micro USB-powered Raspberry Pi computers

www.raspberrypi.com

This is known to work reliably, phone/tablet chargers are in general hit and miss.

Thanks a lot for reporting back!

I'll add the changes to LE 11.0.4 (11.0.3 is already on the way being uploaded to mirror sites), until then just use this image (it's basically LE 11.0.3 plus the POE hat change).

Thanks for the report!

gpio-fan was enabled, but pwm-fan (which is needed for the POE hat) was missing.

Could you please test and report back if this build works fine (just copy the tar file to the update share and reboot)? It includes the pwm-fan module

If you came from LE9 you probably missed the LE10 release notes

Hyperion no longer works due to changes in the video pipeline. Consider hardare/external grabbers.

This hasn't changed since then.
