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.

The video driver fix https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/6089 has just been merged, the next nightly build should be fine again.

Nightlies will give you bleeding edge kodi nexus & LE features and bugs, LE10 builds will be more stable - it's your decision which one to choose.

Since testing looks good so far I'll take care about adding the recent HDR and deinterlace backports to our LE10 code base so they'll be included in the next LE10 release.

FYI: I haven't included the kodi PR to fix this issue in my builds (I'm waiting for it to get merged), the working build linked above is a LE10 build that isn't affected by the bug.

Don't hold your breath on that - RPi4 doesn't have a dedicated hardware block to do tonemapping and the GPU is rather slow so it's unlikely it would work for anything above 720p.

If you have (4k) HDR files but not a HDR capable TV the best solution is to use Handbrake on your PC to recode those files to SDR on your PC.

I've got a couple requests, also from kodi folks, for a LE10 build with Kodi Matrix, so I had a go at it.

The video driver in kernel 5.10 doesn't seem to suffer from the flip_done timeout issues as the kernel 5.15 driver and the few remaining issues (no sound on RPi0-3) were easy to fix (see RPi linux PR https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/4794).

The LE11/kernel5.15 issues will be fixed when RPi devs are back from holidays and fix the video driver and we update to a new kernel. Until then use a 20211218 build (or earlier) if you want to continue testing LE11 with Kodi Nexus.

You can use this LE10 build: https://www.horus.com/~hias/tmp/libr…-0d8a357.img.gz

It boots fine on my Zero2 but ofc the memory limitation chewitt mentioned still applies.

Here's a recent LE10 build with all fixes and deinterlace backports: https://www.horus.com/~hias/tmp/libr…-0d8a357.img.gz

Changelog available?

Here's my dev branch that I used for this build: https://github.com/HiassofT/LibreELEC.tv/commits/480810e - lots of kernel and ffmpeg fixes and deinterlace and HDR patches for kodi.

Connected TV to HDMI0 and Audio Extractor to HDMI1. On booting the picture delivered by RPi 4B is too bright.

When booting without Audio Extractor on HDMI1, the brightness is good.

This is a known issue of LE10.0.1 and will be fixed in LE 10.0.2.

You can give this build https://www.horus.com/~hias/tmp/libr…422-480810e.tar a try, it includes all fixes and improvements we got so far.

Should both pull down & double refresh rate be used? It looks like it is jumping between 59.94 and 60, which I wouldn't have expected with on start/stop as the adjust refresh option.

Pull-down is only needed for 24->60 Hz, you can keep it disabled if your TV suports 24fps. You should enable double refresh rate though (and disable 25/29.97/30Hz in whitelist) to get proper output with interlaced contents.

Regarding the black screen/refresh rate changes: can you please upload a sample file that shows this issue?

Thanks for the report, I can confirm the issue. Our good old friend "flip_done timed out" is back - I already pinged RPi devs.

Hias

The changes are included in nightly builds for a while now so it should work - but keep in mind we can't test it as we don't have the necessary hardware.

So if it doesn't work please do a clean install of latest nightly first and post details (logs, etc).

Feedback if it works with latest nightly would be good, too

FYI: the 10/12-bit video output patches have been merged into the master branch and will be included in the next nightly build (20211219) - please use those for testing when they are available as they include other fixes as well (eg for deinterlace).

If you prefer to stay on LE10 here's a first LE10 testbuild with 10/12bit video output and deinterlace patches (plus lots of other fixes, too):

https://www.horus.com/~hias/tmp/libreelec/LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-10.0-devel-20211218214422-480810e.tar

It would be great to get some feedback on the LE10 testbuild as well, initial testing here looked good, but we'd like to have some more positive confirmation that things work as expected before adding the backport patches to official LE10 releases.

Hias

Quote from marantz

is it resonable to backport this to v10?

Yes, we plan to include this in v10 as well after testing is finished.

Quote from HomerJau

Does this mean we’ll see LE11 HDR testbuilds for generic (Intel) versions soon too?

Sorry, no idea if additional changes might be needed for Generic.

We added the kernel patches to add support for 10/12bit video output in the driver and a small kodi patch that signals the driver to outut 12 bit, if possible (via the max_bpc DRM property which is also present on Intel and other video drivers).

Here's my current dev branch with all changes (kodi patches are only applied for RPi but colourspace and max_bpc patches should work on Intel, too): https://github.com/HiassofT/LibreELEC.tv/commits/le11-test
