  • [RPi5] Black screen after updating from LE 12.2.1 to LE 13

    Description of the problem

    After updating from LE 12.2.1 to LE 13, the RPi5 fails to boot after a reboot or there is no video signal. Just a black screen.

    How to reproduce

    Steps to reproduce the behavior:

    1. Go to Libreelec -> Updates -> Show Custom Channels -> Add custom channel: https://test.libreelec.tv/ . Then Update Channel -> Libreelec-13.00 and choose "LibreELEC Version: LibreELEC-RPi5.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20260413-5ff7627.img.gz (sha256)"
    2. After downloading, installing and rebooting, only a black screen is visible. The RPi5 no longer responds

    Information

    • LibreELEC Version: LE 12.2.1 -> LibreELEC-RPi5.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20260413-5ff7627.img.gz (sha256)
    • Hardware Platform: RPi5

    Context

    I want to update to LE 13 because LE 12 is currently having an issue with the CastagnaIT Netflix plugin. According to some users, this would be resolved with LE 13. See CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix#1785

    Installing a LE 13 image on a new Micro SD card has the same effect.

    Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance.

  • HDMI problem old TV with RPi5 and LibreELEC (Nexus) 11.0.5

    In order to use the latest version of LibreELEC, I purchased an RPi5 and installed LibreELEC (Nexus) 11.0.5 on it. However, my old 2005 Sony Bravia TV does not receive an HDMI signal. With an RPi3 and LibreELEC 9.2.8, it works fine on this TV. On another 2011 Sony Bravia TV, it works fine with the RPi5 and LibreELEC (Nexus) 11.0.5.

    I think this seems to be an HDMI version problem. Unfortunately, I cannot find any documentation about this anywhere. Could this possibly be solved by adjusting a configuration within Kodi or the RPi5?
