This is the shortened githash of the master branch the build was created from - you can look it up eg with Merge pull request #4556 from CvH/10.0/espeak · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv@1fcfe6a · GitHub

GUI tearing on RPi4 is a well known issue. It'll be fixed in LE10 which uses the new kms driver.

Just leave it, it's fine.

We provide stable firmwares just as a convenience for advanced users, if you want to track newer firmware versions that were released after the LE release it's easiest to do that with RaspiOS/Raspbian or download them manually from the rpi-eeprom gitub repo.

If you just ran "rpi-eeprom-update" (without "FIRMWARE_RELEASE_STATUS=stable") then this output is expected.

You previously updated to the stable version (Jul 16 bootloader, 000138a1 VL805) and this is shown as "CURRENT". But rpi-eeprom-updates checks latest in critical (unless you set the release status info) so LATEST shows the available critical versions from the LE image (Apr 16 bootloader, 000137ad VL805).

On LG TVs the option to disable overscan is called "Just Scan" - read here for more info: LG TV Wrong Picture Size or Aspect Ratio | LG USA Support

H264 hardware decoding is only supported up to HD resolution on RPi0-4. Only HEVC works with hw decoding of 4k files on RPi4.

But keep in mind that some of the high-bitrate 60fps HEVC demo clips won't play smooth (this is a known issue), standard 4k 24-30fps files should be fine though.

Download is working fine here but it could be that one of the download mirrors is having issues.

Please provide a debug log, without that there's nothing we can do as we don't know what's going wrong (or which mirror may be having issues, if that's the case).

LE 9.2.5 firmware is ready for USB boot, no need to replace firmware files.

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.
