And that updated just fine.

So why no update on Pi 4?

Likely because there are no known issues or new features on RPi4.

Thanks for the report, I could reproduce this here on RPi3B+ if Adjust refresh rate is "off" in player settings.

A temporary fix/workaround should be in the next nightlies (when the PR got merged and images built)

Still no new eeprom-update for Pi 4.

This is because there haven't been any new releases in the last couple of months

Make sure both PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are setup correctly to include the rpi-tools addon lib dir. The latter is automatically set up if you ssh in, but not in systemd services or autostart.sh

Yes, the update was merged yesterday and LE11 nightly builds are already scheduled - they should be available tomorrow or so.

The easiest way is to ssh in and run "rpi-eeprom-update -a" - this will update the EEPROM to the version included in LE (the next nightly builds will include the 2023-12-06 version).

If you want or need to install a newer version either use the eeprom recovery image or download the pieeprom file from github and run "rpi-eeprom-update -f your-pieeprom-file.bin" (the latter will preserve the bootloader config).

Configuring the fan trip-points is currently not possible but RPi folks might add that in the future.

I've also opened an issue about the fan running full-throttle at bootup (which I personally find rather annoying) - let's see if that will be changed in the future

We've just merged the fix https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/8402 it'll be included in the next nightly build.

Using the RPi5 with a 3A PS is fine if you don't connect any bus-powered HDDs/SSDs. You can get away using a powered USB hub though.

Other than that I strongly recommend buying the official RPi5 PS (I got white ones about 2 weeks ago) - pretty much all other USB PD powersupplies can't deliver 5A at 5V.

You forgot "of=" before the output device -"dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M"

Thanks for the report, I can reproduce it here, since the v4l-utils update the keymaps fail to load. We'll look into it.

The wifi firmware that's currently used on RPi doesn't support WPA3. See also these issue reports on the RPi repos

https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/4718
https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/issues/41

We're all waiting for RPi folks to update their firmware files.

You don't need the amixer command, this only applies to the analog-out Hifiberry cards. The Digi/SPDIF cards don't have any hardware volume mixer controls.

Simply activate passthrough in Kodi and you are fine.

Set the channels back to 2.0 and enable passthrough in Kodi's audio settings

Yes, iscsi support has been dropped quite a while ago https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/6356

gpiozero from the 11.80.3.1 RPi Tools addon is working fine here, just checked currtent LE12 master build on my RPi3B+

# PYTHONPATH=.kodi/addons/virtual.rpi-tools/lib/ python3
Python 3.11.6 (main, Oct 26 2023, 13:22:34) [GCC 13.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gpiozero
>>> b = gpiozero.Button(4)
>>> b.is_pressed
False

Note that 11.80.3.1 updated gpiozero to version 2.0 and dropped the RPi.GPIO backend https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/8230

So you likely need to have a closer look at your scripts and exact failure messages

Educated guess: likely it's the standard issues with Hifiberry cards, having an old/incompatible overlay in it's eeprom.

Configuring Linux 4.x or higher | HiFiBerry

Disable the eeprom and manually load the overlay in config.txt eg:

force_eeprom_read=0
dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus

Yes, you'll be able to update from LE12 nightly to LE12 official release.

No ETA for LE 12.0.0 yet, but I'd guess 24Q1 could be possible (certainly not this year).
