    You can zip the file you got from "pastekodi -c" and attach it to a post here.

    But it'd be better to reproduce the issue immediately after kodi start, stop playing a few seconds after the issue happened and then create the log - that should be small enough for standard pastekodi upload (if you get an error, retry a few time with some 30-60 seconds between retries, ix.io might be busy and thus fail to accept the paste).

    Please post a short sample and a full debug log.

    Please provide a full debug log.

    How to post a log (wiki)

    1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
    2. Restart Kodi
    3. Replicate the problem
    4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

    use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

    This seems to be a kodi bug, might be best to report it on kodi forums or kodi's github.

    ffprobe reports the audio stream of DTS-HD MA 7.1 'Dredd' Sound Check.m2ts as DTS-HD-MA

    But kodi reports just dts and seems to choose the DTS core stream

    Right now the difference between 10.95.0 and nightlies is basically zero, so that's a placebo update.

    This is not quite correct, the kernel update PR (which fixes glitches on all RPis and "no signal with some TVs on RPi4) and an ffmpeg patch update (which can potentially fix playback issues) were merged after 10.95.0 was built

    linux (RPi): update to 6.1.8 by HiassofT · Pull Request #7426 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv
    This should fix two long standing issues: occasional glitches at the bottom of the screen no picture after boot on some TVs Runtime tested on RPi4

    That is great! I'm curious though. What caused this issue on certain tv's?

    A tiny, not well defined, optional, bit in the HDMI protocol which we discussed about for quite a long time as it wasn't clear from the spec how it was meant to be used and how TVs should handle it.

    Basically the firmware sends a "disable display" flag (set AVMUTE) before handing over to the kernel video driver, but the kernel driver didn't implement the optional set/clear AVMUTE handling and some TVs decided to stick in the "off" state. Solution then was to always send "clear AVMUTE" bit in the control packet.

    Sorry, no idea, I'm not aware of any changes in that area. If you are using an RPi the changes between 10.0.3 and 10.0.4 are basically just a very minor kodi update with no video/CEC related changes.

    Do you still have a backup of the LE10.0.2 installation? If yes, check which widevine CDM version you used with it (inputstream helper addon will show it) and compare it with the version you are currently using.

    ISTR widevine versions from about half a year or a year ago cause a very high CPU load (heating up RPi, but streams still watchable on RPi4, but unwatchable/stuttering on RPi2/3 as the load is too high) - older versions were fine (but may not work any longer, depending on the source) - not sure about newer versions.

    Personally I gave up on trying to watch Netflix etc with kodi addons, it was just too much hassle and hit-and-miss if it worked every evening when just wanting to watch the next episode of a show or a movie, and use the Netflix app on my TV instead. A cheap chromecast (or similar) device with official Netflix/.. app support is certainly the better choice if you don't like to play the cat-and-mouse game of streaming service changes and waiting for kodi addon updates.

    As you swapped the firmware for a much newer version my bet would be this is causing the issue - LE 9.2.8 is using an ancient 4.19 kernel and should be running the firmware that came with it.

    Just install official 10.0.4 or LE11 nightly versions.
