I found some old info about the same problem here:
Which lead me to here:
https://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml#Input_control_settings
So, I created a file /storage/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml with the following content:
<advancedsettings version="1.0">
<remotedelay>10</remotedelay>
<remoterepeat>800</remoterepeat>
</advancedsettings>
Unfortunately the setting remoterepeat is deprecated 
Still, the setting remotedelay improves the situation somewhat.
After using it for a couple of nights, the problem seems to be resolved 
Thanks!
Thanks! I applied the setting and I'll report back here to let you know if it resolved the problem.
I applied the setting you advised (video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60D) and rebooted but it didn't affect the keyboard repeat rate or delay. Let me know if you have any other ideas I could try.
Sometimes, when booting up LE12.2.1 on an RPI4B, I get a black screen with in the left upper corner a line of text that says something like Libreelec 12.2.1.
At the same time I hear some notifications from kodi and when I operate the remote control I hear the typical sounds from the Kodi interface.
After disconnecting and connecting the power, everything works ok.
Any ideas?
I use a non standard remote control with a custom lirc configuration which always worked fine with LE9.
In order to exclude a possible problem with lirc or it's configuration, I connected a wireless keyboard which uses an RF usb dongle.
I also tried with a traditional wired usb keyboard. In all cases, the repeat rate is too fast and the repeat delay too short.
For example, when I navigate through the network folders, I need to pay attention not to press the button too long because it will enter and immediately exit the directory because the repeat delay is too short.
I'm considering to put back my old RPI3B with LE9 because operating Kodi becomes too annoying.
I find it strange that I'm the only one experiencing this bug.
Btw, I encountered also another bug in LE12 which I'll discuss in a separate thread.
Hi everybody,
After having used an RPI3B with LE for many years, I decided to upgrade to an RPI4B because of H265 harware decoding.
I installed LibreELEC-RPi4.aarch64-12.2.1.img and everything seems to work fine apart from a little detail.
With LE 9.x.x and the RPI3B the repeat rate of the keyboard was fine but now with the RPI4B and LE 12.x.x the repeat rate is way too fast.
I have been looking for a setting in Kodi but I can't find one, I found only a setting for the layout/language.
Where/how can I set the keyboard repat rate?
Thanks!
I did some research and, if I'm not mistaken, Libreelec uses Connman for network management which is very lightweight and simple to use but also lacks many options like configuring the dhcp lease time.
The “ip a” command won’t survive a reboot but it’s trivial to put into an autostart.sh script or systemd service that’s executed on each boot.
I tested with the ip a change command using a time of 15 minutes (for testing) and after 15 minutes it renews and it sets the
"valid_lft" and "preferred_lft" again to "forever"...
Have you tested whether it’s something simple like the router not matching the MAC due to uppercase or lowercase letters. Some routers are crap like that. What’s logged on the router?
The mac adresses set in the router are all lowercase and they all work except for the RPI (it does work for my older RPI with an older version of Libreelec).
Unfortunately, the FW of the router is adapted for my ISP and can only be configured using a webbrowser.
For the moment I can work around it and it's not a showstopper. When I have time I'll use wireshark to see what's going on between the RPI and the router regarding DHCP.
It's just that I'm a bit stubborn and curious about how these things work and I really want to know where I can find these lowlevel networksettings.
The output of ip a that you shared disagrees with that statement as it clearly shows eth0 is assigned 192.168.1.5/24 as configured in the router. What makes you think it has the address 192.168.1.126 ?
Oops, sorry for the confusion, that was after I changed the network settings from DHCP to a manually assigned address...
If I changed the network settings back to DHCP, it magically selects 192.168.1.126, despite my router telling it should assign 192.168.1.5.
With my old RPI3B with Libreelec 9.2.6 it worked fine.
The lifetime values can be manually changed with:
Codeip a change <ip> dev eth0 valid_lft <value> preferred_lft <value>
Does that survive a reboot?
Thanks for trying to help.
Hi,
I'm running 12.0.2 on an RPI4B and so far everything seems to work fine apart from DHCP.
I disabled both bluetooth and wifi. I'm using a network cable to connect to the lan.
Problem is,when DHCP is selected, it always defaults to 192.168.1.126, even when I setup my router to assign 192.168.1.5 to the MAC used by the RPI.
I noticed that when I use the command ip address, it outputs:
LibreELEC:/ # ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

link/ether dc:a6:32:cd:55:df brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ffWhat I want to try is to change the value for "valid_lft" and "preferred_lft" which seems to be set to forever.
How do I change these two settings?
