Is there a list of supported drivers or models for wifi dongles by LibreELEC? TP-Link Archer TX35U Plus looks top notch (for Wifi 6 APs), even supports WPA3 over USB 3.0.

I didn't know about those Ethernet bridges Da Flex , quite interesting! Only issue I found is that regular models are 2.4GHz only with max. transfer speeds of 300MB/s where a Wifi antenna with 2.4/5Ghz can easily beat. Then there is this premium model with 1.2Gbps, but it is 46 euros compared to a really good antenna with same speed for less then half of the price.

Besides relying only on Ethernet driver, it is still using Wifi in the end, so I am not so sure it will be more reliable to a point it is worth this big price difference, but I digress.

Thanks for the feedback chewitt . For now it is very complicated to pass an ethernet cable close to my TV (maybe in the future), so I will probably buy a new RPI5, use LibreELEC 13 Nightly build and try to find a good external USB antenna for the PI. Do you know some good model that you can recommend?

chewitt I was already using WPA2/3 mixed mode for all wifis I connected the LibreELEC. Maybe would be great to improve the error message to have invalid-key and the name of the wifi network it tried to connect, otherwise only logs will tell. For the user it can be confusing invalid-key for what and also when it asks for the password, it does not say for which SSID. Is this coming from Kodi or is a customization from LibreELEC?

Even with Raspberry PI OS I am having the same issue with SDRAM. The logs only show things when the system booted so they are also not helping. I will just return the PI and try a new one. Do you recommend another board that works better with LibreELEC than RPi5?

About the SDRAM failure, I was suspected of the Power Supply (which is the official one rated at 27W). I also tried a Macbook charger which has no problem to deliver 27W since it is rated for 140W, also same issue. When I have time I will try to catch the logs.. I was thinking maybe I can stop using wifi completely and try to use the ethernet from the TV via HDMI, not sure how it works, but I saw it is possible from my cable at least. Or I can try an external wifi antenna if that is not possible. I have the last days before I can return the PI so I shall test it more.

Update: I just learned Raspberry PI 5 also do not support HEC (HDMI Ethernet Channel) interface, sad story.

After a week of work, I was able to setup on my TV LibreELEC on a PI5 connecting over Wifi to my Jellyfin server (using Jellyfin for Kodi). The issue is, every time I turn on the TV or reboot the PI I have a different behavior. Almost half of the time, the PI just do not boot, and to loop 8 short flashes of the green LED, according to PI5 documentation it means SDRAM failure and then it just need to be restarted on Power some times. When it finally boots, most of the time it looses the password to the wifi and just show a notification of invalid-key and asks again for Wireless Network Passphrase. It is so strange, it does not even need to reboot, if I am watching a video and reboot my router, same will happen. Not sure why LibreELEC is not able to store the information.

Did someone solve that?

Sorry chewitt I spend some more hours trying.. deleted the edid and tried on that HDMI port. It finally worked with audio, but the video is extremelly laggy on RP5.

Done https://paste.libreelec.tv/innocent-cougar.log

Also used the port nearest to the power connector for all tests I mentioned above.

chewitt thanks again, I did some more hours of tests. I am using 0 adapters, and a certified 4k@60Hz cable by Amazon basics:

I finally was able to SSH into LibreELEC while connected to the TV, then I did getedid delete and getedid create, this changed my cmdline.txt to:

boot=UUID=2001-4441 disk=UUID=30f5d869-400e-4a82-8b7b-a5173e9001ba quiet console=ttyAMA10,115200 console=tty0 drm.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/edid-HDMI-A-1.bin,HDMI-A-2:edid/edid-HDMI-A-2.bin video=HDMI-A-1:D video=HDMI-A-2:D

with the monitor it was:

boot=UUID=2001-4441 disk=UUID=30f5d869-400e-4a82-8b7b-a5173e9001ba quiet console=ttyAMA10,115200 console=tty0 drm.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-2:edid/edid-HDMI-A-2.bin video=HDMI-A-2:D

and after getedid delete it was just:

boot=UUID=2001-4441 disk=UUID=30f5d869-400e-4a82-8b7b-a5173e9001ba quiet console=ttyAMA10,115200 console=tty0

The problem is that in none of them I was able to hear audio! Do you have any idea why should be then?

Ah, this means I should to run getedid create when I am connected to the TV? This will be a bit more tricky but I will try.

chewitt thanks a lot for your answer. After searching more I found a way to SSH into LibreELEC and use the ``getedid create command. After that, the Pi started working full HD on the TV (which for me right now is not bad). It also worked out-of-the box with the remote control of the TV. The big problem now is that, no matter what I do, there is no volume at all from videos and music (even when I put the volume on maximum). I see I can control volume from the remote control also but does not seem to work.

I am very new to LibreELEC and read about edid here: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/edid

I also saw a similar issue here:

[RPi5] No HDMI Signal on AVR/TV

Hi,

I have a Ri5 with Libreelec (latest stable build) installed and when connecting to to my TV via the AVR, I get a no signal on the display.

I have tried the steps for using getedid and that did not resolve the issue. I then tried the advice on setting the GUI to 1080p@60 refresh rate and whitelisted the displays modes, however, that still did not fix the issue.

It works 100% fine when connected to a monitor, just not the TV/AVR setup.

My logs from pastekodi can be found here …

I did some tries to connect the TV in different HDMI IN and also combined with trying both HDMI ports on the RP5 with no success. About create edid command, should I run it when I have it working in a regular monitor then try on TV? I am a complete newbie so I would appreciate if you treat me like a child explaining

I found out the current problem is that WPA3-SAE mode does not work on LE 12.0.2, after I switched it to mixed WPA2/WPA3 PSK, SAE (CCMP) it worked. There is also a closed issue on Github about that https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/issues/7353

Can'tThinkOfOne  chewitt I have a similar issue with a RPi 5 and LE 12.0.2. My Pi is very close to my router (1m) and basically it sees the networks with high signal strength. Then I put the password for the 2.4Ghz network it just says connect-failed, same for the other 5G network I have.

I am very new to LE, and not sure how to go into this debug mode. Could you give me a hint?

I tried setting the Wireless regulatory domain correctly but still makes not difference.
