Update to LE 9.2.x or see here if you wish to stay on 9.0.x: RE: Cannot Install/Update Addons

FYI: there's no need to unsquash/update/squash SYSTEM to add/update wifi firmware, simply drop it in /storage/.config/firmware/brcm (you need to create that directory first) and reboot

yullaw thanks a lot, this is very interesting. So it seems your TV doesn't like the initial "handover" from firmware to linux graphics driver if the resolution isn't changed.

I hope this observation will help RPi engineers to find a solution, maybe there's some timing related issue (random guess).

You can fix it by booting from SD, either with LE or the eeprom recovery image.

Are you booting from USB or network? If yes, then ENABLE_SELF_UPDATE=0 will surely prevent updating, it needs to be set to 1.

The patch was included in the 5.10.80 kernel about 2 weeks ago and should be in the next LE release (nightly builds should already have it for some time).

Tim was quick, we already got a fix, PR with rpi-eeprom update is here https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/5936 and should be in nightly builds soon.

I could reproduce the issue and opened a bug report here https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/issues/383

This seems to be a bug introduced by the recent rpi-eeprom package update. I'll have a look.

Puschl the kernel update with the spidev fix is in today's nightly build https://test.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-RPi4…130-26827ca.tar - can you give it a try?

Thanks for the report! I Just PR'ed a kernel update which should be included in nightly builds soon. https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/5930

Quote from twilightened

Is there a key combination that will allow me to select the boot source on Raspberry Pi 4 while booting? Let's say i want to boot the usb stick when the sd card is inserted. Is it possible to do so?

No, you can only configure the boot priority/order.

Quote from camelreef

I'm guessing that it will be on the next nightly, as nightly-20211127-e3a7c06 still gives me the white lines.

I'll eagerly wait, test and report back!

Yes, exactly. It's Nov 28 here and the builds will start in a few hours, so nightly-20211128-... will have it. Timezones can be a bit confusing in international communications, so I better should have used the term "next"

We've added a fix for the "white line" artefacts https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/5925 which will be in today's nightly builds.

Testing here on RPi4 looked good so far, more feedback is always welcome

You have to use the first HDMI port (labelled HDMI0 on RPi4 PCB, HDMI-A-1 in linux), the second port supports CEC, too, but libcec (which is used by kodi) doesn't support it, it's hardwired to the first one without a possibility to change that...

If you press the "TAB" key on your keyboard while an audio or video file is playing playback is backgrounded and you can navigate through menus. Pressing TAB again (or selecting "Full Screen" option in menu) will bring it to the foreground again.

You can also map that function to a button on your remote (it's the "FullScreen" kodi action).

noggin IIRC the videocore code uses some hardware acceleration so I think you were about right. I'm not really familiar with all the gory details of the closed-source firmware blob and RPi folks will probably correct me if I got some details wrong

The "RPi4" in the filename should give you a hint why it doesn't work on an RPi3

Either use the LE9.2 RPi2 build or the latest RPi2 nightly build (beware: this is experimental LE11 stuff) from https://test.libreelec.tv/ (RPi2 builds will work on RPi3, too).
