    i installed all three terminal-only packages from LE at KODI, but no intel_gpu_top command available.

    Just SCP things to /storage and they should run. You can always bind-mount things to other locations if they really need to exist in other location. If they are static build they should just work. If not static, we may have the deps, or not..

    NB: Are these binaries that we build but don't copy into the image .. or binaries from another package that we don't have in our build system?

    i download the *.deb package (ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/intel-gpu-tools/intel-gpu-tools_1.27.1-1_amd64.deb) and extract with 7zip. check the attached tree.txt file, to see the list of content.

    how is the procedure to copy the folders/files into \storage, to use as kind portable version (without install)?

    maybe i should explain why i need the tool ... my GPU is "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation GeminiLake [UHD Graphics 600] [8086:3185] (rev 03)" and would like play/test with kernel parameters like i915.enable_dc=0 i915.enable_guc=2 ... because 4K UHD ISO files have sometimes (micro-)stutter.

    using intel-gpu-tools i would see the difference after change of parameters.

    2024-08-18 09:32:35.378 T:782 info <general>: ----------------------------- - Pastebin.com

    note: the pastekodi command upload log with my SSID, router MAC, ... therefore i paste only the kodi.log.

    i performed with the 4 test/sample files from Samples - Official Kodi Wiki

    only at [1] HDR is missing, but it should be or?

    1. (HDR HEVC 10-bit BT.2020 24fps) Exodus Sample.mp4
    2. 4K HEVC 59.940 Broadcast Capture Sample.mkv
    3. HDR10Plus_PA_DTSX.mkv
    4. Hybrid HDR10Plus DV Sample.mkv

    note for '<algorithmdirtyregions>0</algorithmdirtyregions>'

    i have the problem with subtitle stutter, therefore i set this value to 0.

    but it looks like that this problem is not solved, therefore i change 'scaling_governor' to 'powersave', by autostart.sh.

    default was 'schedutil'. i'll see with the next movies if still persist.

    when i play 1080p movies (tested with *.mkv and *.iso), the GUI resolution is cut, doesnt proper shows the elements at the edges. the first two photos shows playing 1080p video. the last photo 4k. with 4k movies no issues.

    further, the focused/selected item is more bright, in compare of none playback. the brigtness issue happens at every movie file.

    KODI GUI is set as described in the LE wiki, including whitelist and refresh rate adjust.

    create log with upload to paste.libreelec.tv it's very useful, but it include a lot information about connected network.

    1. xx is the unique MAC address of the device
    2. yy is the MAC address of the router
    3. zz is the SSID name

    therefore, my request herewith is to change/mod the log before upload.

    i'm using the same device, with N4000 CPU. therefore i want to ask for the result.

    i cannot confirm the described behaviour with dropped frames at the KODI GUI, but i like to have optimized LE for t430.

    did you compile a custom image without 'projects/Generic/patches/kodi/000-temp-revert-fences.patch' ?

    and did you changed the GPU frequency?

    thanks in advance.

    the generic 'LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-12.0.0.img.gz' is installed. HDR label is shown at the according 4K files. the samsung tv UHD color option is not working, like with legacy image, only when this option is disabled its working.

    1. the UHD color option is not working at all ?
      not even with the newest nightly build 13 ?
    2. my android tv (mibox) is with 3840x2160/60 and KODI GUI with 1920x1080/60.
      when i play a movie only the refresh-rate is changed, due to adjust option is enabled.
      the resolution keeps always the same, 3840x2160.
    3. at LE i set the GUI to 1920x1080/60 and at playing a movie resolution and refresh rate is changed.
    4. to make the same like [2]: add 'video=HDMI-A-2:3840x2160M@60' at sysconfig.txt ?
    5. what is difference between 'video=HDMI-A-2:D' and 'video=HDMI-A-2:d', upper and lower case Dd?

    Make sure your BIOS is up-to-date. If your hardware support page offers video driver updates, install the latest. They sometimes include firmware for the LSPCon driver. You probably need Windows to install those updates.

    1. BIOS with 1.16 is updated
    2. Windows 10 64bit is installed, but i'm not able to install the graphic driver, neither via setup.exe or via device manager.
      HP Support Assistence tool (automatic driver update) is also not running. i tried the driver from Intel too, without success.
      therefore Bacis Driver is installed from Microsoft (default driver)
    3. with Windows i'm able to turn on Samsung UHD Color with for the according HDMI output (but no HDR label is shown)

    However, as next i'll install the Generic LE, i'll report the outcome.

    next question is raised ... w/o UHD Color no HDR is available.

    samsung shows the info only with UHD and the HDR label is missing.

    as i understand, only Intel UHD 620 and newer is with HDR?

    the UHD 600 is able to decode HEVC h265 8 and 10 bit, so it should have HDR?

    when i install the (none legacy) generic will i get HDR?

    Goto General->External Device Manager->HDMI UHD Color (or Input Signal Plus on newer models) and disable it.

    WOW, thanks many times for this hint and for your help!

    After disable the mentioned option the KODI was appears immediately. I see under system > display > resolution 3840x2160p with rate 60. And now, the 4K movie runs fine.

    But i'll check further after apply the mentioned settings from wiki pages, like whitelist.

    Once again, THANKS!

    What TV? Samsung?

    yes

    1. DEVICE: HP t430 Thin Client; 2/16GB; Gemini Lake; Intel Celeron N4000 CPU 1.10GHz
    2. i tried with 'LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-13.0-nightly-20240802-d20b714' and the nightly 'LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-13.0-nightly-20240802-d20b714', both same
    3. connect the PC via HDMI at my TV, i see only the message with starts in 5 seconds, afterwards black screen (no signal)
    4. when i use my USB Dock (my workplace with monitor, keyboard,...) via USB-C, then i'm able to run and finish the setup
      1. BUT, after close the installation, i connect the PC to my TV and i see only the HP logo, then NO SIGNAL
      2. after add 'video=HDMI-A-2:D' at sysconfig.txt, TV output works
      3. i execute also getedid create, same behaviour
        BOOT_IMAGE=/KERNEL boot=UUID=xxxx disk=UUID=xxxx quiet video=HDMI-A-2:D initrd=/edid.cpio drm.edid_firmware=edid/edid.bin video=HDMI-A-2:D
        italics it's added manually by me
        the bold it's from getedid command
    5. PROBLEMS
      1. 4K ISO/MKV files not working; from HDD attached via USB; after press the file to play > black screen; with the Back button i'm able return to KODI
      2. 1K (FullHD) files ISO/MKV plays fine but no audio


    The t430 has 1x DP, 1x HDMI and 1x USB-C with DP.

    Code
    LibreElec:~ # tail /sys/class/drm/*/status
    ==> /sys/class/drm/card0-DP-1/status <==
    disconnected
    
    ==> /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status <==
    disconnected
    
    ==> /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-2/status <==
    Connected

    I set at BIOS the GPU memory size to 128M, beside this option there nothing about GPU. But it looks like that A1 is HDMI and A2 the DP.

    Code
    LibreElec:~ # ls /sys/class/drm
    card0           card0-HDMI-A-1  renderD128
    card0-DP-1      card0-HDMI-A-2  version
