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):

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.

Hias
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.

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

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.

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 msIf 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.

Hias
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.

Hias
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.

Hias
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
