Please dump the edid when your RPi is connected directly to the projector and also when it is connected to the projector via the receiver. Use the following command (replace "projector" with "receiver-projector" in the second case):
tvservice -d edid-projector.datThen ZIP up both files and attach them here.

So I am all done? Because you wrote some comments ago to replace the start.elf and fixup.dat files.
That was some time ago before the 9.2.3 release. 9.2.3 has recent enough firmware files and you don't need to replace anything.

So I update my firmware pieeprom to 15 june 2020. After that I made a fresh install on an usb stick 3.1 with LE 9.2.3
When I put in my pi4 and power it up the screen is saying that he is missing some files. But after some seconds LE is starting up. Where could I find the correct files to solve this issue?
This is perfectly normal, LE stores the firmware files under a different name. Just ignore the warnings.

You can get a debug shell by adding systemd.debug_shell to the kernel command line (syslinux.cfg on x86, cmdline.txt on RPi etc).
On x86 this will give you a shell on the ALT-F3 console, on RPi, RK etc it defaults to (serial) consoles.
In nightly master builds you can change the tty for the debug shell with eg systemd.debug_shell=/dev/ttyS0 (this is not available in LE 9.2 as it uses an older systemd version).

Please git this build LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-9.2-devel-20200626235058-a9f7005-PR4455.img.gz a try. Just copy it to the .update folder / update samba share and reboot.
This is our current LE9.2 development version with the RPi4 firmware fix for multichannel audio swapping.

Most certainly you installed a wrong/incompatible addon, you should not run into that when using addons from the official LE repository.
Trying to work around that by swapping out libraries on LE will only create more problems, so don't do that - only install addons that are compatible with LE 9.2

I also tried doing a fresh image and then updating config.txt with the following: core_freq=250 which the OP said allowed it to boot, however it then wouldn't boot for me. I'm not sure if I put the line in the wrong spot or if it requires any special spacing.
Thanks for testing!
Don't worry too much about core_freq or the other config.txt changes mentioned in this thread not working, these were suggested as a test by a RPi engineer and it seems they don't help in most cases.
Just replace the firmware files on LE 9.2.3 with the ones from the zip and you should be fine.

FYI: dvb driver addons are now disabled for imx6 in LE master and current imx6 nightly builds are available on our test server again. eg LibreELEC-iMX6.arm-9.80-nightly-20200623-7d65b9e-cubox-dl.img.gz

I thought it was documented in the wiki, but quick search didn't turn up anything - maybe that info was lost at some point...
Wiki rework is already planned for the near future, hope the missing bits will be added then.

You have to store the settings to /storage/.config/sound.conf
alsactl store -f /storage/.config/sound.confso long,

Please tell us which buttons exactly are not working anymore and provide a full kodi debug log where you press these buttons and a journal log with the upload log function in LibreELEC settings.

The imx6 builds on test.libreelec.tv are outdated and don't contain the remote fix - our buildserver is tripping over the same dvb driver addons build issue. You either need to build yourself or wait a bit until the issue is fixed in LE master we have current nightly images available.

ssd mounting late seems odd, if /storage can't be mounted at boot time LE won't start at all...
Just noticed your blkid shows a "Microsoft reserved partition" - my guess is that it might be this partition that gets mounted.
I think it may be best to re-partition the SSD, using a classic MBR partition table ("Microsoft reserved partition" and the other PARTLABEL entries look like it's partitioned as GPT) and make sure the VFAT partition is the first one. GPT and/or VFAT partition on anything else than number one could be problematic for USB boot later (not 100% sure, maybe that's already implemented, but it's easier/safer to just follow the default partitioning scheme we also use on SD card).

All the settings are stored in hidden directories (.kodi, .config, .cache), copying via kodi will probably have missed these - and it's not quite ideal to copy config files while they are being used (eg .kodi folder while kodi is running).
I usually copy filesystems on my linux PC, mount eg both SD card and USB drive and then run `rsync -a ...` as root.
An easier method is probably to use the backup and restore functions in LibreELEC settings. Boot from SD, backup everything eg to an external hdd/flash drive, then switch over to storage on SSD and choose restore.
Stopping kodi and then using rsync (from the system tools addon) or tar to copy the /storage partition would be another method.

I can confirm it's working.
Thank you Hias.
Thanks a lot for reporting back!

I'm new to libreelec and kodi. where do i find the config.txt file to add the commands to allow the pi 4 8gb to display on my yamaha receiver and samsung tv. It's blank but the pi 4 works here on my desktop via hdmi. Thanks
See here Raspberry Pi Config.txt [LibreELEC.wiki]
If you have display problems please search the forum and create a separate thread if necessary.

Do you know if the rest of the ram is usable? Can Librelec even make use of that much ram? I have Librelec running on the Pi4 8gig, but doubt that much ram even does any good..
Linux can use the full RAM for filesystem cache/buffers and background programs / docker containers etc can make use of it. I wouldn't recommend though to run too much stuff on the RPi, it's CPU is still a lot slower than current gen Intel/AMD CPUs.
If you just want to run Kodi then 8GB is overkill. All programs are compiled as 32bit, so each process can use max 3GB (and Kodi won't even need that). 2 or 4GB will do just fine.
