LE uses pulse audio for BT output. It is probably possible to pair multiple BT audio devices and configure pulse to send L and R audio streams to the two different devices. However, how exactly you do this is the unknown. There is no HOWTO guide in our Wiki and nobody on staff has muh expertise in pulse audio, and you'll discover it's a complete bitch to Google for hints due to the massive number of false hits on common terms.

This but it's really not that bad,

Pair the two speakers, create a combined_sink for them in pulseaudio. Then set the volume for each channel independently.

pactl set-sink-volume bluez_output.30_FD_38_7A_96_7F.a2dp-sink 100% 0%
pactl set-sink-volume bluez_output.30_A3_45_0B_D4_3C.a2dp-sink 0% 100%

This of course would only work for stereo audio, I'm sure funky things would happen if you wanted to play 5.1

If you set the audio device in Kodi to the pulseaudio device (there will only be one) it may work to change the volume in kodi (not 100% sure about this).

otherwise you can setup some scripts and button mapping to use:

pactl set-sink-volume <pa-device-name> +5%

pactl set-sink-volume <pa-device-name> -5%

Thanks, @Irusak

Question, what is the difference to the file below? It's also 4K and the RPi4 decodes it quite smoothly?

Final question, which HW supports h264>1080p?

Thanks

That file uses HEVC (h265) which the RPi4 supports up to 4k resolutions.

The RPi4 doesn't have a HW decoder that can do h264 >1080p. So it has to do it in software which isn't possible.

Update:

NUC8i5INH with radeon graphics - doesn't play, blank screen same as previous builds

Hmm, I'll have to double check this. I use a NUC8i7HNK as my daily and last I tested it worked, maybe I borked something or the LibreELEC builds aren't working correctly.

If you disable the HDR mode in settings -> player -> video -> processing -> "allow hdr mode"

I'm not really sure what this has to do with LibreELEC?

I don't think what you are wanting to do is possible. Just buy hardware that will do what you want (it will be cheaper too).

I’m trying to decide if I want to keep the T430. I have too many streaming devices (just bought a Zidoo Z9X) so I might as well sell a few of them.

Which is the better Kodi box between an Odroid N2 (S922) running Coreelec or a T430 Thin Client (N4020) running LibreElec? The Odroid outputs proper color space but the T430 cleans its clock performance-wise.

Last I heard was that amlogic didn't actually output a 10bit signal, everything was converted to 8bit. I'm not sure if this has changed or not.

What do you mean proper color space? What is wrong with the color of the T430? My branch should include a commit to change the display out to bt2020 if supported.

use docker

The crash is a problem with the LibreELEC python add-on. I'm not sure what the problem though.

1920x1080p sbs 60.00Hz. What does the “sbs” stand for? I also have some resolutions with “tab” next to it.

Lastly, this build is locking up with some of the Widevine requiring addons like Prime Video, etc.

These are 3D modes. SBS (side by side) and TAB (top and bottom).

Quote from harun-cuk17

Well could you tell me to how to make the debug log please?

---

Which resolutions do I need to whitelist?

The 4K resolutions I would imagine (plus any others that you think you may need, 1080P, etc).

Quote from harun-cuk17

Is the problem maybe because my kodi UI is set to 1920x1080 120hz

In that case yes you will have to use the whitelist

You shouldn't have to whitelist resolutions unless you want to.

Please post a kodi debug log after trying to play said media.

Quote from Nekromantik

Do you know why there could be issues with NUC6 and newer builds that break multi channel output? Kodi only outputs 2.0 on all files.

please post a debug log

Quote from smp

lrusak It works fine on Gemini Lake. Doesn't work on AMD Vega 3.

Doesn't work in regards to what? Can you post the output of the modetest utility from the AMD machine?

smp if you get a chance can you please give my branch here a test? I've reworked many things including how the HDR code is handled. This code should be in good shape to get merged into kodi master eventually. Note that it contains the needed vaapi changes and the multilayer handling PR. Commits · lrusak/xbmc · GitHub

I've tested it on my Gemini lake NUC and it seems to work so far. I'll test on my AMD vega-m when I can (it's my normal workstation so I have to physically move it to my HDR tv downstairs).

You likely don't want anything larger than 3840x2160

Are you just looking for older versions to install?
