Does this firmware include popcornmix upgrade to fix channel swaping on RPi4 (5.1 Surround issue after pausing Raspberry Pi 4) ?

Yes.

These are straight builds of our master (LE 10 development) branch GitHub - LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv: Just enough OS for KODI

Milhouse used that as a base and included the very latest kodi version plus several additional changes that were not included in LE and kodi yet so it was always a bit ahead of LE master.

ATM we have no plans to do any further 9.x releases after 9.2.4/5. Same goes for Kodi, there are no further 18.x releases planned.

Development focus is now purely on getting LE master/10.x running smoothly with V4L2 decoders and KMS/GBM.

We reverted the RPi4 firmware back from the July 2 version kernel: Bump to 5.4.50 · raspberrypi/firmware@66fc5ea · GitHub to the June 26 version kernel: Bump to 5.4.49 · raspberrypi/firmware@2b76cfc · GitHub as the added support for interlaced modes was incomplete and caused the black screen issues with TVs that flag interlaced (eg 1080i50/60) as the preferred mode in their EDID.

No, but it should be released soon.

Only change in 9.2.5 compared to 9.2.4 is the RPi4 firmware change - both use Kodi Leia 18.8 and we'll release 9.2.5 only for RPi4.

Create a .libreelec/options file either in your home directory or in the root of the LE git directory and set ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES there. See LibreELEC.tv/options at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

Note that some projects set ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES so it's best to append to that variable. eg

ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES="$ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES kmscube"

Just buy a 2GB or 4GB RPi4 (8GB is overkill for LE), exact rev doesn't matter.

Quote from karasb

on 9.2.4 (RPi4) the picture disappeared, while there is sound and hdmi cec works fine, I hear how the system reacts to pressing the remote control key, but I see nothing. The TV itself thinks that it is being given a signal, writes that it is there and writes the resolution, but the picture is just black. Changing the hdmi port doesn't help. This also happens when upgrading from 9.2.3 and during a clean install.

Can you please try if this build works LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-9.2-devel-20200817130411-96056bf.tar ?

Just copy it to the Update Windows share and then reboot.

Screen tearing on LE9.2/RPi4 is a known issue. It will be fixed in LE10 with the switch to the full KMS driver.

You seem to have overclock settings in config.txt, can you test if that happens with stock config.txt, too?

mount -o remount,rw /flash
cp /flash/config.txt /flash/config.txt.bak
cp /usr/share/bootloader/config.txt /flash/config.txt

[BUG] · Issue #4523 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

Please someone with the issue post logs as cvh already requested multiple times in the github issue.

ssh into LE with black screen, then run pastekodi and post the URL you got on the console.

We have not seen this issue in local testing and without logs and details about your setup (which are included in the pastekodi log) we won't be able to do anything or give hints.

There are 2 issues with your config.txt:

dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_in_pin=18

you are still using "gpio_in_pin" instead of "gpio_pin" and also you can't use GPIO 18 - this is required by the I2S interface - dmesg/journal therefore prints this:

Apr 11 18:28:51 LE923zero kernel: pinctrl-bcm2835 20200000.gpio: pin gpio18 already requested by ir-receiver@12; cannot claim for 20203000.i2s

You have to connect the IR receiver to a GPIO that's not used by the DAC card, GPIO 17 should be fine, and then properly specify that in the dtoverlay line - eg gpio_pin=17

Please post your full config.txt and journal

pastebinit /flash/config.txt
journalctl -a | pastebinit

gpio_in_pin is wrong, you have to use gpio_pin.

Channel swaps with multi-channel PCM output is a well known issue on RPi4. It'll be fixed in 9.2.4.
