BTW: also have a look at this workaround: RE: LE 10.0.1/10.0.2 RPi4 - "CECActivateSource" stops working when soundbar connected

so long,

Hias

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.

Dynamic HDR (HDR10+/DolbyVision) isn't supported in Kodi under Linux so this is expected. Use standard HDR10 or HLG files.

It depends on the encryption settings of your stream provider. A few sources only use widevine for authentication and/or decryption (i.e. streams can be HW decoded) but others - like Netflix - use widevide to decrypt and fully SW decode the stream (which leads to high CPU load).

so long,

Hias

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.

yullaw and all others who need the hdmi_mode/hdmi_group or input-switching workarounds to get a picture after boot, can you please test with this build:

https://www.horus.com/~hias/tmp/libreelec/LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-devel-20230116232923-b261017.img.gz

Write it to a spare SD card, don't make any other changes, and boot it - if the changes from popcornmix work as planned you should get a picture without needing any workarounds.

Please create a separate thread about your issues with HDR files and provide a full debug log.

This thread is specifically about the addon breakage after the 2022-12-08 release.

so long,

Hias

If you are having issues please post full debug logs - otherwise we devs are unable to know the exact circumstances and background and won't be able to resolve potential issues.

Enable debug logging in kodi, reboot, reproduce the issue then ssh in and run "pastekodi" (or use the log upload function in libreelec settings).

The reason for not enabling 30/29.97/25Hz and instead allowing kodi to use double rates is that otherwise you'll run into issues with interlaced videos - they report as eg 25 Hz frame rate while they contain 50 fields and kodi will output that as 50 deinterlaced frames - and you'll get hefty issues trying to play 50 frames if kodi chose to setup display with 25 frames per second.

Hias

The driver has been enabled in LE11 nightlies since end of September 2022.

Never ever hard power-off your system.

There is no NTFS fsck for linux, the fsck.ntfs from ntfs3g only sets the "needs to be ckecked bit" - and you have to connect the drive to a windows PC and perform the filesystem repair there.

It's best to format the drive as ext4 if you want to use it on linux.

The log shows a read error from your NAS:

2023-01-07 16:57:40.694 T:1048    ERROR <general>: Read - Error( -1, 110, Connection timed out )
2023-01-07 16:57:40.694 T:1048    ERROR <general>: Process - <smb://192.168.1.3/Media/News/_move/Le.Pacte.Des.Loups.2001.DC.1080p.BluRay.DDP7.1.x264-W4NK3R.mkv> source read failed with -1!

Network on the RPi4 side looks fine (nothing suspicious in logs) so it might be worth to check your network/switch/NAS and make sure you don't have any network/cabling issues and your NAS didn't go to sleep or something like that.

Elysium sample is playing fine here as well.

Might be worth testing with a different, 18Gbps certified HDMI cable, and without the JoyIT case (which seems to have a HDMI adapter board which could be problematic).

BTW: RPi4 doesn't support 4k H264 playback, stick to H265 material.

Hias

Downloads from the 4ksamples.com site don't work, downloads.4ksamples.com doesn't resolve to an IP address. Please provide a link to a working sample file.

The temperatures look OK, basically stable at 60°C - which is fine.

If playback crashed you should have something in journal or kodi log - reproduce the issue again, then run "pastekodi" and post the URL with the log here.

so long,

Hias

If you are having issues with EDID test without the case, and also a known good (or new) 18Gbps certified, fully wired HDMI cable - those two things solve about 95% of "display not working correctly" issues.

Don't touch config.txt, gpu_mem=1024 can never work and even if it would it would only reduce usable memory without any benefit. 96 instead of 76 may help in very odd corner cases when dealing with out-of-spec H264 files but that's it.

So in short: best use stock HW and SW setup - only adjust Kodi settings as outlined eg here https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/4k-hdr

Concerning hyperion: don't hold your breath for a solution soon, better thing about alternatives (external HDMI grabber or TV with ambilight built in).

ssh in and run "bcmstat.sh" - this will show current clock frequencies and temperature
