    Disabling logging and shared MySQL db has been working fine for me. It would be nice if I could offload the PVR channel data and textures data too.

    Hi,

    For PVR and EPG database you can try something like this (add to advancedsettings.xml). Will create the specified database in the "/tmp" (ramdisk) folder.

    <epgdatabase>

    <type>sqlite3</type>

    <host>/tmp</host>

    </epgdatabase>

    <tvdatabase>

    <type>sqlite3</type>

    <host>/tmp</host>

    </tvdatabase>

    I now have cat 8 cables, but the data speed is just 2 MB/s, the data goes through two switches, once a Netgear GS16E and then a DELL N1548

    Hi, did you checked if not wiring/hardware issue? Tried to boot another OS and checked the speed? If not, try to boot a linux os like Ubuntu from USB stick, search for "Ventoy" and "Ubuntu ISO". In a few minutes you can prepare an USB stick to boot directly different iso images.

    hi all - long-time user here . . . this is the 'easy' part but having trouble for some reason . . . 2 different usb sticks, 2 different image programs and 2 different images (rolled back to see if it was the image file) . . . not sure what is happening or if you all can help as not a libreelec-specific issue but . . . also, changed the file system to fat to see if that will help but originally ntfs.

    thanks for any suggestions

    Hi,

    Try to start the LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator with admin rights (right click, "Run as adminsitrator").

    Hi,

    To try your display EDID data, did you tried to use that display with a PC (or laptop), with and without that "HDMI-DVI" cable. If another device is able to recognize the display (especially with that cable) and to use it with optimal settings (1280x1024) means the display EDID is OK.

    I have 3 RPi3B, connected to FullHD or HD (1366p) display, and don't have any picture issue. I'm used with LE9, LE10, now with LE11, had random "no picture" issue (LE10) once in the past, because of a poor quality HDMI cable, probably bad contact.

    Hi,

    Looks like the LE didn't get the EDID data from display through HDMI cable.

    First, I'm just asking, did you tried with another HDMI cable (I had once same issue because the HDMI cable - EDID wire contact issue)? Another thing what you could try, with another (full HD) display, if working, make an EDID save ("getedid create"). If the LE have EDID data saved, won't wait to identify the display from HDMI, will use the default values from saved EDID.

    Hi,

    I had something similar, I'm using MCE remotes (HP) and tried to assign a button to open the context menu. When I tried to use the "#" button, in file manager, always opened the "rename" menu instead of the context. Then I tried to use the "yellow" and works perfectly. I think some ("special") remote buttons can't be reassigned in the .xml file. As I resolved what I want with "yellow" button, I didn't continued to search a solution for the "#" button remap...

    I am noticing a number of files that work well when they are tested with VLC won't work in KODI. When played in KODI it quickly brings up a black screen that disappears just as quickly. Whole seasons of TV shows don't work in Kodi.

    Is the file(s) broken and VLC does something to make them playable, but when used in KODI, KODI can't deal with the "error", so they seem unplayable?

    The method how the files contains the video information... Exists a lot of codecs, different resolution, etc. Probably that file use an unusual (old?) video codec what don't supported by video player in Kodi. I had some old video files (old TV show season), what when I played in Kodi (last year, LE10), after few minutes, the video became desynchronized to audio (delayed sound). A quick solution for me was to recode that files using the PC to a recent video codec. The result was some far smaller files, without any quality change. Exists free tools for this. Probably always will be old/exotic video files, that will create player problems in Kodi.

    I would also suggest a boot parameter for enabling http? Like ssh?

    Use any cheep standard PC usb keyboard. It's need only for first boot, to finish the setup, the SSH setup is part of that. The HTTP remote you can enable as I mentioned before using the keyboard. No need any "boot parameter". And for remote, I like to use the classic IR remote and for RPi is really easy to make it working.

    If you don't have a keyboard, probably works with a USB mouse too (for text will appear the virtual keyboard), didn't tried...

    Hi,

    If the that "greeen artifacts" appears mostly with Live TV, with drm-prime codec and deinterlacing, you should try the latest LE11 beta (10.95.1). If you have a spare SD-card, or make a backup and upgrade... Few weeks ago was added some kind of patch to ffmpeg to improve the deinterlacing (mostly for PVR). I have RPi3B, TVheadend, that "greeen artifacts" what I seen before too, I think now gone (true, I don't spent too much time watching the TV).

    The webserver is turned off, so yatse and browser are not working. Remote Control is also not working.

    Hi,

    For first settings, always better to use a USB wired/wireless keyboard. For remote: go to System - Services - Control and enable the "Allow remote control via HTTP". If appear something about "Authentification", at same page you can enable the authetification (or just confirm if want to use without).

    this basically means weak signal

    things that could be a problem

    - reception is too good and the tuner can't handle that -> attenuator for dvb

    - reception is too weak and the tuner can't handle that -> dvb antenna booster
    - USB cable has problems, USB switch has some problems -> try other cable or usb ports

    - driver is not properly working -> good luck :)

    I couldn't exclude the posibility of the defective DVB device, even if new and Hauppauge.

    If you can, try with another laptop/PC and/or another OS (Linux, Windows) to check if the hardware itself is working well.

    If you know what is working well, you are a step closer to find the problem.

    Yep... It's on...

    Based on the output of running SSH, it seems it's a windows issue, not a KODI problem..


    Which probably means I should be asking in a windows forum, but.. :D

    I'm using MobaXterm for terminal (and for litle upload-download) and Filezilla for SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol), now with Win11, worked well before with Win10 too. Don't remember to had any SSH issue with Libreelec.

    Uhm, no further comments, so I really understand the issue is within LE and I need to wait for LE11?

    Yes, the "famous" deinterlacer in the LE10 and LE11.

    Was added in the LE 11 nightly, to the ffmpeg, some kind of patch for better handling the deinterlace (the LE11 beta 10.95.0 don't have it, don't know if in the LE10 nightly was added or not). Make a backup (or better use another sd-card) and try the latest LE11 nightly, maybe you will see some improvement.

    I'm using 3 RPi3's, one with LE 10.0.4, two with LE11 nightly. For FHD live TV streams (h264, tvheadend), in case of LE10, sometimes appears some green artefacts, only for milliseconds, at the bottom of pictures. With the LE11 nightly, instead of green artefacts, some pixelation appear sometimes, mostly when major changes in the picture. L11 nightly with HD ready display (720p, the third RPi3) works better. I still have some SD channels, with mpeg2, works always without issues (RPi3, no HW decoding for mpeg2).

    Thanks for the advice. When I go to nightly downloads, do I want the 10.0 nightlies or the 11.0 nightlies to update my version from 10.95.0? I'm a little confused about the naming sstructure and which I'm currently on!

    I don't know if you can return (downgrade) to the LE10 without problems. To move from LE11 beta (10.95.0) to nightly it's working, at least I didn't had any problem with that. I copied the LE11 nightly package to the /storage/.update/ folder and reboot. I have 3 RPi3, two with LE11 nightly (LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-11.0-nightly-20230208), one remains yet with LE 10.0.4, I didn't seen any significant difference as normal user.

    I've since installed the original card and have wifi again, however libreelec keeps restarting randomly and I'm not getting picture on some live TV channels (audio works) that used to work. I'm thinking it could be related to the upgrade from 10.0.4 to 10.95.0? Is there any clues in the log file of what might be causing the restarts? http://ix.io/4nBR

    Hi,

    First... before any upgrade... BACKUP! It's took a few minutes, but sometimes save for you hours of reinstalling everything.

    About LE11 beta, if you already upgraded to LE11, try the latest LE11 nightly, that first LE11 beta (the 10.95.0, the 10.95.1 what is in the chewitt's post, I think isn't released yet) have some issues with live TV.

    And about the wifi card, you didn't mention your hardware, perhaps you can try to run an live-linux from usb (Ubuntu iso written to USB-stick) to verify if the suspected card is working or not.
