Thanks for the confirmation, MikeKL!!! I saw you post and moved the AV Receiver to another room to test it, that's why I wrote this thread, I didn't want to waste so much time and effort in something that may not work.

Luckely, I connected the HDMI on the second Raspberry Pi output, and after change the audio output from "Settings -> System -> Audio" and enabling the passthrough to all the codecs, it worked like a charm.

Configure the EDID was not needed.

Thanks again, MikeKL. Amazing community!

Should I configure the EDID to have CEC control working?
It would be great to handle the volume with TV control.

Hi community!

My setup is:
Raspberry Pi 4B (4K)
LG OLED BX (4K, Dolby Digital, Dolby Atmos)
Yamaha HTR-3064 AV Receiver (1080p, Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround, Dolby TrueHD, DTS Digital Surround, DTS Express, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc)

Currently the Raspberry Pi 4B is connected with my TV via HDMI.

I understand that if I use TV's e-ARC, it will send only Dolby Digital to Yamaha AV Receiver.
If I connect the Raspberry Pi 4B to Yamaha AV Receiver it will send 1080p video to the TV.

Can I use one HDMI output of the Raspberry Pi 4B for video and the other HDMI output for audio?
If that's not possible is there any other workaround?

Regards

Let me perform new tests today at night.

Yesterday I tested the LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20230823 and at least for 1080p speed was as expected.

I will film a video about how the DVD is played, and you will see that the speed is very fast.

I'm using the TV in Filmmaker mode to turn off all the enhancements like TrueMotion, etc.

Hi popcornmix, I have an OLED TV but that feature I have disabled in Kody, I don't want to enable it. Something happened in the latest 2 nightly builds that make the video speed is 1.2x approx.

It's weird that nobody notice that, but it's too obvious. I'm worried because nobody reported this for DVDs, but it's affecting to 1080p videos also.

Hi

I'm using Nightly builds since 1 year approx. on my Raspberry Pi 4 with an SSD.

2 months ago I was watching a DVD, I installed the new build and when I resumed the movie I noticed that the speed was too fast.

Since that moment I decided not watch DVD until a new build fix that. But even with the latest builds the issue persists.

Recently, after install LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20230809-ecf5de7 I noticed that even 1080p movies are accelerated and I don't know the reason because I didn't change any setting in my Kodi or my TV.

Issue is still present on LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20230816-1d807c8

I'm referring that the video speed is like 1.2x

Is someone facing the same issue?

I found the "fix":

I had to disable: "Allow hardware acceleration with DRM PRIME"

I know that hardware can't decode all the codecs, but, is my Raspberry Pi faulty? Because I notice that this issue is very random, I mean, if I notice the issue and I rewind some seconds the issue is not visible, but in 5 minutes appears again in other part.

Issue is fixed now in the latests nightly builds

Hi community

I'm facing this issue from a long time, I thought that a nightly build may help on this but nop.

If I go to Movies, I have set by default Wall - Sort by title - Ascending and it shows the movies unsorted, but if I change the sort type and go back to by title, it works fine.

Please check the video

Can be fixed? Database should be fine because if I sort again by title it works, it's like the initial query is wrong.

Regards

Thanks for the quick responses.

Consider this thread closed.

Fuse is included in network-tools and system-tools.

Fuse3 is included in network-tools.

I've installed Network Tools and System Tools, however fuse or fuse3 are not there.

EDIT:

Cool!

Anyway I would like to go back to stable versions from a nightly build.

Thanks for reply heitbaum

I will try it, but is there any chance to rollback to stable releases from a nightly build?

Because with only a couples of minutes I found that:

-Google Drive addon doesn't work

-Updates section is broken

and probably I will find more issues in the future, so I regret of try them and my idea is rollback to stable releases from a nightly build without make a fresh install.

Regards!

Hi community

I tried the last nightly build LibreELEC 11.0 for the RPi4 and I noticed that rclone doesn't work because I can't install fusermount.

I freaked out and I tried to install the official updates and I can't, it's like the update section is broken because when I turn off the Custom channels it doesn't bring any official channel.

I tried to add custom URLs like https://libreelec.tv/ or https://releases.libreelec.tv/ and doesn't work.

I wouldn't like to make a fresh install.

Thanks in advance.

2022-01-13 00:45:08.869 T:1137  WARNING <general>: OutputPicture - timeout waiting for buffer

I guess this is a proof of my theory. Please try a higher video cache to guarantee a filled buffer.

Ok. I will test it. Thanks for spent time checking the logs.

At that specific moment I was not experiencing the issues.

I started watching the movie with issues at 2022-01-13 03:31:12.080

After 48 mins of playing a movie it appeared once, it was quick and at bottom also, but I noticed.

mmm

You can try a current nightly to see if improvements fix anything. Plan B would be to re-rip from your original media.

Sure, I can try with a nightly build.

I think network is too slow from time to time. You're lucky, because you use SSD instead of microSD. So you can increase the video cache without killing your microSD: https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache

I bought an SSD because I thought that those glitched were due to a bad microSD, but when I ran an surface test, the microSD was fine. Network is not slow, 300 MB download speed is enough, even I was monitoring that at the moment of the glitches. This should be something else.

i pasted the logs in https://paste.kodi.tv/loxuribugo.kodi

At 2022-01-13 03:31:12.080 T:809 I saw a movie with x265 enconde without any issues for 21:36 mins
At 2022-01-13 03:55:13.696 T:809 to the end. I saw a documentary with h264 encode with issues multiples times

But when I saw that documentary from SMB or directly from the SDD I had not issues. (you will not see this in the logs)

Every time that I experienced these glitches in the logs appears:

Custom AVIOContext makes no sense and will be ignored with AVFMT_NOFILE format

At the end of the logs you can see that I installed ffmpeg-tools v10.0.0.117 installed and ffmpegdirect v19.0.1.1

and so far the issue is not happening. I will let you know

Issue not happens playing the movie from my PC through SMB, so It has to be related to rclone or Google Drive...

Hi guys

I have this issue:

This is my setup:

Raspberry Pi 4 B with 5v 3.5a power supply

LibreElec 10.0.1

Ethernet connection

rclone accessing to a Google Drive

LG OLED 65BX and Kodi at 3840 x 2160 resolution

300MB DL Internet speed without packet loss (checked)

Now I have some upgrades:

-Instead of the microSD, I have SSD through a Sata USB 3.0 adapter with UASP support.

-Fan 120m 12v (powered externally) Raspberry Pi is currently at 39º / 43º approx

Note: All the upgrades were in order fix this issue.

First I thought that the glitches were related to a bad microSD, but no.

Later I thought that the glitches were due to the temp was at 73º, but no.

I usually have this issue each 3 or 4 minutes, it's very annyoing.

What I found:

-Issue happens with Ethernet or Wifi, so it's not related to the Ethernet cable

-Issue is not happening if the movie is stored in the SSD. But I don't want to download each movie from Google Drive to the SSD.

-Issue has been happening with different versions of Kodi and LibreElec.

-Issue is not related to the micro HDMI cable because as you can see in the second screenshot, when I pause the video, the issue is only over the movie, not the entire screen.

-If I rewind a little the issue is not showed, it means that the "chunk" was redownloaded, I think.

-0Issue happens with 4k, 1080p and 720p movies. Differents codecs also

My theories:

-This can be related to Google Drive API, but I'm not using the stream from there, I'm "downloading" chunks of the file with rclone.

-The other theory can be related with the chunks of rclone, but issue is happening with rclone but also with Google Drive addon. I dont think that the addon use the same size of chunks.

Do you have any idea? I have more samples if you are required.

I made this same post in Kodi forum also.

Thanks in advance.
