zehner please try without the case. It seems to use an internal adapter (board) for the HDMI ports, like the Argon one case, and those have a long history for causing issues like yours.

The first log shows that display detection on HDMI0 doesn't seem to work. The second one shows that it's fine on HDMI1. Most likely the hot-plug connection of HDMi0 is broken (could be the adapter board) - connecting the HDMI cable directly to the RPi4 will bypass that and very likely solve your issue.

Vimes thanks for the log!

Can you add drm.debug=0x04 to the end of /flash/cmdline.txt (after "quiet", on the same line), reboot, then ssh in and run "pastekodi"? That should give some more info which might be helpful to debug the issue.

You seem to have set the number of channels to 5.1 so you'll get PCM output - set them to 2 and make sure passthrough is enabled properly in audio settings.

Just checked here, DTS and Dolby passthrough works fine here with 20220115 nightly.

BTW: it also looks like you are using the wrong HDMI port on the RPi4 - use HDMI0, not HDMI1.

Hard to tell without debug logs..

Enable debug logging in kodi either via GUI or .kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

<advancedsettings version="1.0">
  <loglevel>1</loglevel>
</advancedsettings>

then reboot, then ssh in and run these commands and post the URLs

pastekodi
modetest | pastebinit

Also please answer the following questions:

Does switching HDMI inputs on the TV help?

Which TV/monitor are you using, is a TV in the chain?

Do you use the official RPi HDMI cable or another one or a micro-HDMI adapter?

Do you use an Argon One case or some other case with built-in HDMI adapters?

Please test again with a clean installation of the latest nightly image.

One of the video driver bugs caused the system to hang for a while, update/reboot in general works but could take several (3-10) minutes. If you pulled the plug in the middle of an update you may have messed up the installation.

See here RE: LE 10.0.1 / Rpi4 / No picture after update from LE 10.0.0

We've updated the master and LE10 branches to the latest kernels with all video driver fixes available so far.

RPi4 nightly should be built soon, if you run LE10 please give this build a try (it also includes an update to latest kodi Matrix version):

Quote from mezi

Is there any way to know that KODI in libreelec on rpi is playing a HDR video - from the "outside"? By some API call, looking somewhere,...

Kodi just added support for HDR type info https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/19983 and it looks like it should be possible to get that via jsonrpc, too.

The next nightly (which should be built in a few hours) will contain a kodi bump with this feature, it'll also show now a "HDR10" or "HLG" icon in GUI, please give that a try.

hbbs we just bumped kodi so the issue should be fixed in the next nightly build.

kodi: update to e976cd0 by HiassofT · Pull Request #6124 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv

This fixes the ac3 transcoding bug https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/24741-librelec-nightly-dolby-digital-transcoding-bug/ Runtime tested on RPi4, DTS to AC3…

hbbs No, it's not been merged yet. Just follow the kodi PR on github and ping us when it's been merged, then we'll have a look at updating kodi in LE to include it.

Bootloader EEPROM isn't the problem, the firmware on the SD card is. You can try copying start.elf and fixup.dat (on the FAT partition) from an LE10 SD card to the LE9.2 card - this can work but isn't guaranteed.

Hias

LE9.2 is too old, it won't work on the rev 1.4 RPi4. Use LE10 instead.

Hias

Either do it in autostart.sh or better via a udev rule - like /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/70-input-repeat.rules does it for other remotes.

Hias

Which LE version are you using`? If you are still on LE9.x simply run "ir-keytable -D 1000".

so long,

Hias

You can try to workaround that by setting a larger repeat delay with "evrepeat".

First run "ir-keytable" to find out the input device of the IR receiver (eg /dev/input/event0)

Then use the "-d" option of evrepeat to set the delay in ms (try with eg 1000ms / 1 second) - adjust the device number to match the one on your system. eg:

LibreELEC:~ # evrepeat -d 1000 /dev/input/event0
Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms
Changed repeat delay to 1000 ms and repeat period to 125 ms

If this doesn't work then I recommend using a MCE USB or Flirc receiver.

RPi OS is running X11, LE /kodi is using GBM - that are completely different graphics stacks.

Still a no go on RPI2 after compiling from source.

Please test with a clean install of the latest nightly https://test.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-RPi2…-00c51c7.img.gz on a separate SD card.

If it doesn't work provide a full pastekodi log.
