Did you maybe run "getedit create" at some point in time?

If yes, then RPi will still be using the old edid of your HD TV.

In this case simply run "getedid delete" and reboot.

This looks like a netflix or netflix plugin issue - report it on the netflix plugin repo

LE has no knowledge about the used kodi in an update and which addons might get disabled then by kodi. So there's no way we could tell you upfront what kodi will do.

If something goes wrong with a nightly then restore your backup - or stick to official release builds.

I think it's pretty obvious that installing development snapshots / nightly builds can result in anything - even non-booting systems.

So do that at your own risk and always have a full backup so you can easily roll back if something goes wrong.

Please provide a sample file that triggers the issue and a full debug log playing it (and showing the issue).

Can the rpi do full HBR pass thru to act receiver.

yes

Glad you got it working!

I just tested on a clean installation with the latest LE10 nightly build https://test.libreelec.tv/10.0/RPi/RPi4/…-5504109.img.gz, changed distroconfig.txt, config.txt and cmdline.txt as outlined in my post you linked to and it worked fine (running on PAL, 720x576).

I suggest you do the same - the SD card came preinstalled with kodi and you upgraded to LE10 it could be there's some crap on the installation that prevents kodi from starting (and upgrading eg from 9.2 to 10 isn't supported at all - it can work but often it doesn't).

Also make sure everything in cmdline.txt is on a single line and you don't omit the "e" on the video setting - you have to use eg

video=Composite-1:720x576@50ie

otherwise you just see the LibreELEC splash screen - kodi will start but you don't see it's splash or GUI.

Please test with the latest LE10 nightly build from here

ISTR 10.0.2 had some (composite) bugs that are fixed now.

Editing distroconfig.txt isn't ideal (as it will be replaced on updates) but should work - better keep a copy of it when you got it working.

I've thought about better solutions like having a separate distroconfig-composite.txt but while working on that composite configuration in RPi kernel/devicetree changed again and I decided to wait a bit until things had settled.

popcornmix rebased his changes, PR with update to current kodi master is here:

kodi: update to latest master by HiassofT · Pull Request #6859 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv

This also includes rebased RPi colorspace/bpc patches. Runtime tested on RPi4

You haven't enabled debug logging so it's a bit hard to tell what really went wrong in your case but my guess is this is the long standing issue with kodi trying to create too many scaled-down thumbnails on the fily and thus exhausting (graphics) memory.

You could try running texturecache.py c, this will take a while and create thumbnails in a way that shouldn't trigger the issue - after that browsing should work fine.

Increasing CMA memory (that's the kind used for graphics) could remedy the issue a bit, too but probably won't help as much as creating all thumbnails upfront - add eg dtoverlay=cma,cma-512 to the end of /flash/config.txt

ISTR there were issues when tvheadend is running on the same device where video is being played back.

It could be that the memory bandwidth required for deinterlacing interferes with operation of the USB DVB hardware and/or drivers and/or tvheadend - might be too short buffers (in HW or driver) or something similar in tvheadend like increased latency resulting in dropped buffers/packets.

I don't think a definitive solution for that was found, other than moving tvheadend (with the DVB receiver) to a separate device.

Hmm, just checked the sample on my Linux laptop with VLC and mpv and there are blocking artifacts at around 15-17 seconds - so there seems at least to be an issue with the recording. Do you see other artifacts at different timestamps with LE?

Thanks a lot for the sample!

I'm a bit busy with my daytime job ATM but I'll have a look the next couple of days, not sure if I manage to check before next weekend though.

Can you share a short sample / recording that triggers the issue?

There were a lot of changes between 9.2 and 10 (completely new graphics stack on RPi, python 2->3 change etc) so it was a gamble if upgrading worked or not - hence our decision to not officially support it. LE10->11 should be a lot smoother (still there might be issues with addons, they have always been the main obstacles).

Migrating just your movies/music collection isn't too hard (search the forum, there have been detailed discussions about it).

Basically stop kodi (systemctl stop kodi), delete all MyVideos and MyMusic databases in .kodi/userdata/Database, copy the latest versions from your old installation there and also restore .kodi/userdata/sources.xml, then reboot (or start kodi again).

First of all you should have done a clean installation of LE10, upgrading from LE9.2 isn't supported.

Secondly, I'm the main RPi developer / maintainer so you can trust me that using the LE10 nightly builds will work fine - they contain several important bugfixes since LE10.0.2.

Thirdly, don't restore a backup from your LE9.2 or LE10 installation, they will pull in your banned addons (and probably other stuff that will cause issues) and you won't get support here.
