Get a proper power supply (I recommend using the official one) and the issues should be gone.

From the log:

IIRC long-press isn't supported with CEC remotes (aka your TV remote) in kodi.

mokkurkalve can you please give this build a try?

I think I spotted a bug in the Hifiberry DAC driver that lead to wrong clock rates at 24bit output. This build should fix that.

No, this doesn't happen on the RPi5.

The green line is a bug in the HW-assisted deinterlacer (which only exists in RPi0-4) at 1080i. On RPi5 a software deinterlacer is used (and H264 is also software decoded).

In LE12 you can disable the HW deinterlacer and use a better quality software deinterlacer (BWDIF), but the combination of HW decoding and SW deinterlace caused a kodi crash with your sample file (that's the new issue we found and are investigating now, with our other test videos this combination worked fine).

so long,

Hias

No, and thanks for the sample, we could reproduce the issue (it's a known one) and also discovered another one

Hias

Update tp LE12 beta, then you can do BWDIF deinterlacing with hardware decoding - there's a new option to disable hardware deinterlacing in player settings.

Hias

As last year please test with just the TV hat installed.

Also note that the TV hat is running the SPI bus at 50MHz, so adding fancy stacks is likely to cause issues.

Hias

Please test without the librespot addon and make sure you set the audio output device to ALSA in system->settings->audio.

I suspect pulseaudio (which seems to get enabled by the librespot addon) might be the culprit.

Start by replacing the broken 32GB drive

I wouldn't be surprised if the dying drive causes file buffers to increase until the kernel kills tvheadend as the drive cannot keep up with the amount of data that tvheadend wants to write.

Yes, this looks fine (OFC replace 0x00000000 with your actual license).

But, for the 3rd time now, please run vcgencmd codec_enabled WVC1 and post the result and a debug log.

so long,

Hias

Of course you need a licence, and if in doubt add the decode... line to /flash/config.txt.

But IIRC for quite a long time (several years) it's fine if you had entered a valid license key once in the lifetime of the RPi, then the firmware mad the activated license "stuck" and you didn't need to add it on new installations.

Anyways, the vcgencmd codec_enabled command will tell you whether the license is enabled or not so please run that before digging further.

so long,

Hias

Any place in the /flash/config.txt should be fine. Actually, once you have entered a license key it should "stick" so you don't need to edit config.txt anymore.

What does vcgencmd codec_enabled WVC1 report on your RPi?

I did a quick test with LE 11.0.6 on my RPi3B+ (without any keys in config.txt) and VC1 playback worked fine, pressing "o" on the keyboard showed that kodi was using the "ff-vc1_v4l2m2m-drm_prime (HW)" decoder and CPU load was quite low.

LibreELEC (official): 11.0.6 (RPi2.arm)
kodi3:~ # vcgencmd codec_enabled WVC1
WVC1=enabled

Please post a debug log if you can't get it working.

Just add the decode... lines to the end of /flash/config.txt

Hias

FYI: you can adjust udevil mount options in latest LE11 and LE12 images by copying /etc/udevil/udevil.conf to /storage/.config/udevil.conf and then editing the file. After that reboot so the changes take effect.

Note that you'll also have to adjust allowed_options_exfat in addition to default_options_exfat

rpi-eeprom-config is included in RPi4 and RPi5 images (not in RPi2 though as RPi2/3 don't have bootloader eeproms)

LibreELEC (official): 11.95.1 (RPi5.aarch64)
xbmc:~ # which rpi-eeprom-config
/usr/bin/rpi-eeprom-config
xbmc:~ # rpi-eeprom-config 
[all]
BOOT_UART=1
POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=1
BOOT_ORDER=0xf21

Create a /storage/.config/autostart.sh containing modetest -M vc4 -w "32:Broadcast RGB:1"

eg run:

echo 'modetest -M vc4 -w "32:Broadcast RGB:1"' > /storage/.config/autostart.sh

Then reboot

Stupid noob question but how do I reinstall Widevine after upgrading from 11.06

Open the inputstreamhelper addon and choose reinstall.

Now it gets confusing, over at the kodi forum you posted that you got it working.

My TV remote suddenly stopped working with Kodi

Ok, I just rebooted the Pi4 with the HDMI cable already connected to HDMI-0 and it started working.
The thread can be closed.

Please don't double post to different forums as this creates double work (lots of us developers monitor both forums).

If you double post please keep both your threads up-to-date to avoid confusion and unnecessary work for us devs.
