See if adding video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60D to kernel boot params (change HDMI-A-1 to match the DRM connector used) solves the problem? - this will force the intial DRM state to 1080@60. As a general rule it's best to leave the Kodi GUI at 1080p and only switch to 4K when needed for playback, see: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/4k-hdr. I'll guess Kodi currently has a limit on the GUI being 1080p max but the desktop resolution or underlying kernel DRM layer is trying to use a 4K mode.

I was trying to set up Youtube Addon on kodi with the API keys. It worked some days, but now with the nighly build it stopped working because inputstream something is not available...
The repo was bumped and it took a few days to chase down some compile issues. The repo should now be fully populated.

It also looked like I had to increase the startup delay to 45 sec to get the connection working completely.
If the RPi4 is on a wired network, that really shouldn't be required, and something is borked/wrong somewhere.

Start here: https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings .. click icons, learn how things work

The addons server is hosted in a Hetzner EU datacentre on a static IP address that has never changed, so the adult-content list is probably over-blocking on some wrong assumptions about the subnet or perhaps ASN that the IP belongs to.

If you are using the wrong presets when ripping or converting media, change the presets to ones that work on your hardware. If you are stealing the media off the internet and expect all the random encodings that have been used to work on all hardware; a) you will be dissapointed, and b) we don't care about that problem.

It's important to understand that DV is not 'a' standard, it's a collection of them. It is technically possible to implement support for all DV requirements on PC boxes. However there are quite a few technical barriers towards that happening. There are also a pile of legal issues. The technical requirements are slowly being chipped-away at, so there is full support for Kodi on Android (on licensed hardware that follows standards) but only partial support for Kodi on Linux; there are still things missing in ffmpeg and the Linux kernel DRM architecture and hardware-specific drivers. As a result there are many dissinformation threads from DV "experts" in forums that reflect the disconnect between their opinions on on how things work, and actual facts
There is currently only one known open-source implementation of FEL 5/7 and that's in OSMC, and the term open-source means only that it doesn't depend on closed-source Dolby libraries. However this open implementation depends heavily on the Amlogic vendor kernel (with its own proprietary DRM architecture) and intentionally uses OP-TEE secureworld to prevent an army of Dolby lawyers from inspecting how it's been done, so the open implementation is effectively closed.

Yes, Atmos and other HBR formats are supported on RPi4/5 hardware. You need to have Kodi in advanced/expert mode to see and enable AC3/E-AC3 pass-through as these are normally the transports for HBR audio formats. You also need a "certified" HDMI cable that can handle the higher bandwidth required. I'm also assuming the RPi connects directly to an AVR so that HDMI complexities like eARC support on inline TV devices aren't involved.
NB: Aggressive/combative posts are not going to win you friends in this forum. If you want to rant, please go find some other forum to do it in. If you want actual help, use less pith and a friendlier tone, and focus on providing useful technical information about your setup, how you are testing something, and provide debug logs to support investigation.

From a technical perspective timezone is a "nice to have" not "must have" function. The OS runs exactly the same on UTC as it does with one configured. There is also no need to define NTP servers; we fallback onto pool.ntp.org servers by default so as long as the network is functional, devices like RPi boards with no hardware RTC chip will have time corrected during boot.
NB: Adding a timezone setup option in the wizard would be great. Our all-volunteer project staff working for fun in their free time looks forward to reviewing your contribution on GitHub to make that possible.

ix.io is dead/down for some years now, so a working URL from our own paste server is the correct behaviour

"***Error in mount_storage: mount_common: Could not mount UUID=d2f120b6[...]83 ***
The UUID is for the partition on the original USB/SD (or whatever you wrote the LE image to) and that UUID will change once things are moved to the HDD. So fix the boot=UUID and disk=UUID params in whatever bootloader config file is being used to ether use the correct UUID(s) or use LABEL or point directly to the relevant /dev/device(s) for the partitions.

K22/LE13 nightlies contain changes to the Kodi SMB client that might be interesting. First you can select SMBv2 without large MTU support (which likely isn't helpful to a remote connection). You can also fiddle with the SMB read chunk size; as smaller is likely to work better on a remote connection. It may also be worth experimenting with smbclient at OS level (locally mounting a remote filesystem using systemd mounts) instead of using the SMB client.

The Tvheadend server addon is also present since this morning https://addons.libreelec.tv/12.80.6/ARMv8/…ce.tvheadend43/

K22/LE13 supersedes all the advancedsettings.xml cache tweaking (that most users misunderstand and thus get wrong) with some sensible defaults and also reworks the SMB client. Perhaps update to a current nightly and see if that resolves issues.

Ahh yes, Hub = 1GB while WP2=2GB. I'll need to go build that image..

Accessing shares over the Internet? .. I think you need to explain the topology of things better.
-
Configure /storage/.kodi/userdata/sources.xml and /storage/.kodi/userdata/passwords.xml manually and use password auth on the SMB shares. I have three WireGuard tunnels active and a local NAS, and no issues accessing my SMB shares.
