I'll open the case and see.. I avoided it while thinking that the multitool was compatible only with those chips.
Next if ok, i'll try LibreELEC-RK3328.aarch64-12.90.1-a1.img.gz
Why don't do it in reverse order?
Try the LibreELEC-RK3328... image and if isn't working open the case?
If a heatsink is glued to the CPU, sometimes isn't a simple task to remove it without the risk to be damaged something... and will need to be glued back too... with a heat resistent glue...

The "Libreelec configuration" addon doesn't launch on Raspberry Pi3.
On updated system or a new installation.
Because of this, the "Libreelec" button in the system settings doesn't work.
Hi, Just think a bit about this. It's many people using LE with RPi3, me too, and if should be a bug like this in LE, here would be a lot of complains. Another things: what LE version do you use? Where is the log to be able to see what's wrong with your device? Did you tried with a fresh install on a spare SDcard?
For logs read wiki.libreelec.tv/support/log-files.

I got tired of the rPI's poor WiFi and tendency to hang and need a reboot.
The "rPI's poor WiFi" it's easy to handle with a USB-Wifi adapter, or better with a wifi-ethernet adapter (if you have no chance to use wired network there). The "tendency to hang and need a reboot" could be related to the wifi issue... So, if you still have the RPi4 and could try with wired network or have a cheap USB-wifi, it worth to try it... I'm using few RPi-LE, and with "normal" use (without too much "fancy" addons), it's very stable. Even the one with wifi connection (not the "standard built in wifi"), it's stable.
Every time I reboot the machine, it plays audio through the (terrible) internal speaker, instead of over HDMI into my receiver.
You could try to check the sound options in the BIOS. Maybe it's something to set the default sound output to HDMI. Or disable the built in speaker.
Another thing, even if these developed for continuous use, it could be benefic to be rebooted time to time. For this I'm using a cron job, to reboot the LE every day at early morning (like am 3:00).

How can i solve this or can this be solved ?
Hi, try to connect the TV directly, and in SSH terminal run the "getedid create" command. More info here: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/edid
-
do I need to remove the addon in order to get help?
That should be a statement, not a question.

Did you tried to make a backup, and try with a fresh install (only with the minimal addon installed)?
-
What is this log ?
https://wiki.libreelec.tv/support/log-files
Another thing you didn't mentioned the TV server used. If it's the TVheadend, you should use the web interface with admin user to check or modify the recordings (if other ways don't work).

So, its perhaps the Octopus PVR AddOn or KODI in general ... no idea
Without any useful information (full debug log, video codec)... It's the same for us: "no idea"...
-
Did you tried this:
The config here is generally recommended https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/4k-hdr
Other useful info would be some detail about the video file, read here: https://kodi.wiki/view/Player_process_info

Am I doing something wrong?
Yes.

Without propper logs it's hard to figure out what's wrong. Read here

Googling this, I suspect it is because I created the EXT4 filesystem on OpenMediaVault which has support for quota metadata.... am I going down the right track with my understanding? And what are my options?
Hi, it's two ways to resolve this:
You build your own LE version with quota support. But that means any times you will want to update it, you will need to build a new modified LE image. If you have experience in linux could be done without "complications".
Backup the data on your SSD and change the partition to be compatible with the LE images. That you need to do once, and you will be able to update the LE directly from LE server.

How can I put my backup file back into this folder?
It's many way to do that:
With the same "live linux" method you can access the "Backup" folder and to copy back the backup package (.tar file).
Windows - Samba connection (explorer - network -> you should see the "LibreELEC" device)
Windows - FileZilla and SFTP connection ("/storage/backup", use the SSH user/password)
Can't be excluded your backup to contain some "insane" files and to get the issue back after restore... in that case open that ".tar" file (ex. with 7zip) and copy back only the most important files (use the "live linux" method).
-
I also try to install KODI on Raspberry Pi OS and everything works.
Can I test something else?Did you tried with a fresh LE install on another sd-card?
-
I copied all the contents of the sd card to my laptop, but I don't see any file or folder clearly labelled as backup
It's a second partition with linux filesystem (ext4) on the SDcard. You could use a live linux on a USB stick to boot your pc with linux (no need to install anything), then you will able to "see" that partition and copy the backup somewhere. Or... Use the LE file manager (setting - file manager) "add source" the "root" and you will be able to find the "storage/backup". After that the backup file can be copied to USB drive connected to RPi.
As it's suspected to have a dying SDcard, and the backup is on that card, you should use the pc - live linux version and copy somewhere the all data from that second "storage" partition.

Oh wow. This system has been running for only about 6 months, on a new Samsung A2 EVO sd card. Is there a way to increase the lifespan of the card? That's a hefty price to shell out on this frequent basis if this is normal for a card to die this fast.
First and the easiest is to check the SD-card. "Make a backup of Kodi data that you care about if/while you still can" and you could verify the card in a card reader and PC. If you able to format it and to copy data to it with a resonable speed, should be OK. Reinstall the LE, try to boot it, and if working, restore the backup.

I took a backup, did a fresh install with the latest .img, restored the backup, and it's happening again.
Hi, probably in your old setup it's something that not compatible with the new version. I would try to make a fresh install, add the addons and settings, and from backup to use only the other stuffs, like media files.
-
That Radxa Dragon Q6A hardware looks pretty nice. Qualcomm 8 core CPU, Adreno GPU, onboard M2 NVMe (2230) slot, "normal size" HDMI connector... Would be nice to have LE for it in the future. Could be a good alternative for Raspberry.

Hi, I think this needs enabled in the config.txt:
# uncomment to enable analog audio output
#dtparam=audio=on
#audio_pwm_mode=1
