Keep gpu_mem at 76, setting it higher only wastes memory.

You could try reducing cma to 384 (as you did), but the problem seems to be that kodi is caching too many pictures and if they are large it runs out of memory at some point...

Just contact the manufacturer and ask them to PR the driver in the official RPi kernel source https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux then we can enable it when it's been added.

We won't be adding any out-of-tree drivers as they've been causing a lot of pain in the past (they need constant maintenance and tend to break on every other kernel update - and we do lots of them on a regular basis).

Thanks for reporting back!

The current LE10 nightly should be safe to use, we've been rather conservative and careful when updating the LE10 branch. But OFC we can't be 100% sure that something slipped through or will slip through in the future so always do it at your own risk.

I'm not sure if (auto-)updating LE10 nightly works as we've recently restructured the directory layout on the test server.

If in doubt just stick to the current nightly build, manually update it if you want or just update to the next official release when it's out (should be soon-ish, we're just waiting for Kodi 19.5 release).

Please test with the latest LE10 nightly build from here https://test.libreelec.tv/10.0/RPi/ this should contain a fix for your issue.

Just use arithmetic expansion https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/969…ml#tag_18_06_04

imforumman and others affected by the issue:

The workaround is now included in official LE10 nightly builds (starting with today's 20220610 build)

LibreELEC Nightly Builds

Add vc4.force_hotplug=3 to /flash/cmdline.txt to activate the workaround on both HDMI ports.

Also please try with 1 and 2 instead of 3 to activate it only on the first or second HDMI port and report back which values work for you.

Hias

The logs show you plugged in the HDMI cable to the wrong HDMI port (HDMI1 instead of HDMI0), please try the other one.

so long,

Hias

Start by providing logs, our crystal balls are all still on repair.

ssh in, run pastekodi and modetest | pastebinit and post the URLs you got.

Hias

Yes, you can use the SD card in the other RPi.

I've uploaded RPi4 builds with the latest version of popcornmix's patch https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/5052

LE10: https://www.horus.com/~hias/tmp/libr…054-eb85a9e.tar

LE11: https://www.horus.com/~hias/tmp/libr…608-bbb7ee2.tar

Please test with vc4.force_hotplug=3 added to the end of cmdline.txt and report back if this works.

The value 3 forces HDMI hotplug on both HDMI ports, you can also use 1 to force it only on the first HDMI port or 2 for only the second one.

You can just plug in ethernet after a wifi issue, it should connect automatically. Ethernet takes precedence over wifi so if you have ethernet plugged in wifi won't be tried at all.

Hias

hmm, that log looks like you freshly booted with ethernet cable plugged in - I don't see any failed wifi connection attempts here

Just run "pastekodi" and post the URL you got. We can't provide any more help if you don't provide full, unredacted logs.

so long,

Hias

No, by "pastekodi" logs I meant "pastekodi" logs

dmesg doesn't help much, pastekodi includes journal (which might give some clue) and other useful info

Hias

Can your grab logs after a wifi connect fail? Usual "pastekodi" log will do fine.

LE master recently switched from wpa_supplicant to iwd and I'm wondering if that might be related.

zcat should work fine, I've used it myself a lot of times to create fresh SD or USB media.

YMMV though, ISTR some people reported that their linux desktops doing media autodetect while writing the image interfered (didn't have that issue myself yet).

Regarding x86: when you first boot from a fresh USB media you get a choice of 3 modes: install, live and run - the latter will create a persistent storage partition on the USB drive so that's what you probably want to use.

so long,

Hias

Not sure what ventoy is but you can boot from an USB stick on x86.

Concerning RPi and your filesystem corruption issues I'd say the 10 bucks for a Sandisk 32GB SD card might be a really good investment and could save you a lot of time.

LE10.0.2 also runs fine on RPi02W, but it's not officially supported because of it's small RAM.
