firmware and kernel have been updated 2 days ago and are already in LE11 nightlies

Kodi Nexus 20.3 was released yesterday.
Will there be LE 11.0.5 based on 20.3 or full focus on LE 12?
Yes. We already updated kodi in the LE11 branch https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/8504 and if testing goes fine 11.0.5 should be released soon.

All these cases that are not FLUSH with hdmi connector will cause problems.
This is indeed a problem with a lot of the cases as that won't allow you to full insert the HDMI plug into the socket, causing all sorts of (intermittent or also permanent) contact problems.
Fortunately though there's an easy workaround: take out your X-Acto knife and trim off 0.5-1mm of the plastic on the front of the HDMI plug. BTDT a couple of times and it fixed my issues.
Issues with bad solder joints of HDMI adapter PCB boards, like inside the Argon cases, are a lot more troublesome to solve though.

Great, that lg-gpio issue was already reported almost 2 years ago https://github.com/joan2937/lg/issues/12 but hasn't been addressed yet.
I've opened a gpiozero issue https://github.com/gpiozero/gpiozero/issues/1106 so gpiozero will (hopefully) add the recommended workaround

Mario77 thanks, I could finally reproduce the issue:
The underlying lggpio library tries to create a pipe in the current working directory - when starting the python script via a systemd service or autostart.sh that will be the root directory which is read-only in LE so everything goes south. Running the script from the console will also fail if you "cd /" before...
I'd say this is a major design flaw in gpiozero / lg-gpio (it shouldn't write anything to the current directory in the first place) but fortunately there's an easy workaround:
Change the working directory to a directory where you have write permissions - eg /tmp
In the service file just add a WorkingDirectory setting, in autostart do a cd /tmp before starting the python script.

The fan has a 4-pin connector (5V, GND, PWM, RPM/pulse sense input) - like standard PC fans.
DT params to adjust the fan temp/speed curve have just been added to the RPi kernel, I'll update the kernel in LE soon so it'll be available in nightlies - hopefully in the next few days.

You can find some - rather outdated, somewhat incorrect and PC specific - background info in the wiki here: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/edid
Long story short: remove all the stuff you manually added, connect the RPi to your TV and reboot, then run getedid create via ssh and you are done.
That will dump the edid of your TV to .config/firmware/edid, create the necessary edid.cpio initrd so that the edid is also available in very early boot stage - before the .config/firmware overlay is enabled and everything will be fine - no need to manually fiddle around with duming edids, adjusting config.txt and cmdline.txt etc

Did you create and enable the edid.cpio initrd as well?
getedid create will all do this automatically but braviaedid.bin looks like you set this up manually.

wyup refresh rate switching is essential if you want (micro-)stutter-free, smooth video playback. Cinema stuff/Blu-Rays are usually at 23.97/24 Hz, TV broadcasts at 50 or 59.94 Hz, PC videos often at 60Hz - if your video output mode doesn't match the video's framerate it'll look juddery.
Regarding DV: UHD Blu-Rays have a mandatory HDR10 base layer, so DV on these disc is an additional layer on top and RPi4/5 will output the HDR10 layer just fine - tested that here with 4k (DV) Blu-Ray rips I did on my own with makemkv.
Streaming services with "pure DV content" (without the HDR10 base layer) is another thing, and RPi4/5 certainly wouldn't have the grunt to process that - direct-to-plane rendering works fine for 4kp60 but GL/EGL rendering doesn't - it's too slow, even without shaders having to do tonemapping (RPi's graphics "chip" isn't anywhere near an Nvidia RTX).

Hard to say as you didn't post your addon/script but it could be that you may be experiencing this issue https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/issues/8447 (which isn't directly related to rpi-tools/gpiozero)

Please post detailled information, including your scripts, systemd units, debug logs etc.

Found time for a quick test, it also doesn't work in RPiOS so likely it's an issue in the RPi 6.6 kernel. I've opened an issue here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/5814

Hias
I found time for a quick test and could reproduce the issue here. It seems composite video out got broken when switching to kernel 6.6 - with kernel 6.1 it's fine.
I'll have a closer look after Christmas, for now best stick to builds from before 20231122.

The analog audio stuff in config.txt is fine - you need that to get analog audio regardless of using composite or HDMI video.
Not sure what the issue could be, please post a pastekodi log - run "pastekodi" via ssh and post the URL you got or use the "upload log files" function in LE settings and post the URL

Hias
This was a bug in the latest v4l-utils/ir-keytable version, I found and fixed it
The next LE12 nightly should work fine again with keymaps in the old (non-toml) format

Hias
RPi4 or RPi5 will work fine for this, I recommend getting a 4GB model (RPi4 2GB is also OK).
Dolby Vision isn't supported in LibreELEC but other than that the RPis will handle 4k HDR10 and HLG plus HD audio passthrough just fine.

Remove the "include distroconfig.txt" line from config.txt.
You can also remove sdtv_mode and overscan settings, they have no effect.

The pastesite ix.io went down before anyone could have a look.
Please update to the latest nightly build and post a new log (we've setup our own paste site which should be more reliable).
