See here: RE: Cannot Install/Update Addons

You seem to have replaced config.txt with the old version from LE 9.2 with a high gpu_mem setting - that won't work.

Do a fresh install and keep config.txt as is.

LE 9.0 (and before) use the old openssl 1.0.2 version which is tripping over the DST Root CA X3 expiration end of September - read more about it here: https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2021…RootCertExpire/

Fortunately applying the workaround 1 (removing the cert) is quite easy:

First create the directory /storage/.config/system.d/openssl-config.service.d:

mkdir -p /storage/.config/system.d/openssl-config.service.d

then create a file drop-dst-x3.conf in there (full path is /storage/.config/system.d/openssl-config.service.d/drop-dst-x3.conf) with the following content:

[Service]
ExecStartPost=sed -i '/^DST Root CA X3/,/END CERTIFICATE/ d' /run/libreelec/cacert.pem

Now reboot and kodi (and curl etc) should be happy again.

The fixes were just merged today and will be in the next nightly and in LE 10.0.1

ErikSwan the RPi4 HDMI driver exposes standard DRM connector properties to set HDR metadata and colorimetry (BT709/2020) info, like eg Intel and AMD drivers do it, too. This is included in current upstream kernels (since 5.14) and in the downstream 5.10 RPi kernel - I haven't checked with the upstream kernel though.

The driver also exposes a max_bpc connector property to switch from 8bit to 10 or 12bit output, but YCC output (4:4:4 or 4:2:2) selection isn't implemented yet - the driver always outputs in RGB 4:4:4 ATM.

There's a draft PR to allow RGB/YCC selection via another connector property https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/4201 but ATM it's a bit unclear if it will be implemented that way or if it should be handled internally in the video driver (eg 4kp60 can't output 12bit 4:4:4 due to bandwidth limitations, auto-switching to 4:2:2 may be desirable in that case).

Just copy the tar file to the Update SMB share (or to /storage/.update/ via ssh/scp) and reboot.

Are you using ASS subtitles? If yes, then look here: RE: LibreELEC RPi4 9.95.2 does not reproduce .ASS subtitles

kodi.bin consuming about 15-20% on idle is quite normal on a clean install. Keep in mind that this is the percentage of a single core, RPi4 has 4 cores so it can go up to 400%. If you look at the "%Cpu(s)" summary in top you'll see about 95% idle.

Also keep in mind that the CPU frequency will have scaled down to 700MHz (check with bcmstat.sh or "vcgencmd measure_clock arm") and the load values reported from top are relative to that. So in absolute terms (4 cores at 1.5GHz max) kodi comsumes about 2.5% of available CPU resources.

Of course addons etc running in the background will consume CPU resources, so 20-30% (of a single core, at 700MHz) still look rather plausible.

Ballistic did you actually reproduce the issue before creating the log? Log entries look like you grabbed the log immediately after startup.

Also the logs show you are connecting through a Denon AVR.

Does the issue also happen if you leave the AVR out of the chain and connect the TV directly to the RPi? If yes, please provide a debug pastekodi log where you reproduced the issue and state the exact model number of your TV.

please post a "pastekodi" log running this build.

If you have output configured to 2 channels / stereo (which is the default unless you changed it or enabled passthrough) and are playing a multi-channel file (eg AC3 or DTS audio) you can adjust the center downmix level (eg make center channel/voices louder) during playback:

push the OK button on the remote, then choose settings (gear icon)->Audio settings and adjust "Downmix: Center Mix Level" - +5dB usually is a good choice for action movies with too loud sound effects.

If the file has 2 channel audio then there's nothing you can do.

If the file is multi-channel and you output multi-channel or have passthrough activated then adjust the center level on your amp/AVR.

The fix is already in our development branches.

Here's a recent LE10 build https://www.horus.com/~hias/tmp/libr…210-ae16a10.tar - would be great if you could give it a try and report back.

Just noticed in the log that the video size is 2560x1920 - RPis only support up to HD (1920x1080) H264 decoding.

Please test with this build https://www.horus.com/~hias/tmp/libr…210-ae16a10.tar , it has the latest video decoder fixes that were added after LE 10.0.0

If it doesn't work please use "pastekodi" on the command line or the log upload function in LE settings to create logs and post the URL - we also need the other info like journal that's included in these logs.

dmesg shows tvheadend is using a large amount of RAM which probably is the cause for the OOM killer kicking in and killing it.

I'd suggest you look into that first, eg disable timeshift-to-RAM if you are using that.

Please test with this build and report back if it fixes the ASS subtitles not showing issue:

LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-10.0-devel-20211001104210-ae16a10.tar

I finally managed to find and fix the root cause, with this build ASS subs area also shown fine for 4k movies here.

All HDMI and HW decoder fixes we have so far are in nightly builds.

Note though that the nightlies are based on LE 11 and Kodi 20 - better use the LE10 test build I linked above unless you are in a highly experimental mood and run them from a separate SD card (going back to LE10 most likely won't work without major trouble).
