There's nothing in the Kodi logs, which is one reason why we asked for "pastekodi" which also outputs the systemd log. You may also need to include the FTP server log (assuming there is one).

It'll be more work to create and maintain an add-on than to simply rebase the one-line/one-commit change to enable/include the package in a self-built image. The add-on would only work for your post-boot use-case whereas iscsi is more commonly used for early-boot things (albeit not within LE as I don't recall anyone complaining when we dropped it from the image).

cd /storage/.update
wget https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-11.80.0.tar
reboot

No need to burn/write anything .. Just update the existing installation ^

We stopped including iscsi support in the main image some time ago, but the package remains in the buildsystem so you could self-build with it enabled again, see: https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…EC/options#L197

Instructions for self-building: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/development/build-basics

It's not really a tried-and-tested solution for you want to do, so while it should work in theory, practice might be more fun.

LE 11.0.4 and LE12 nightlies already switched to using https://paste.libreelec.tv

ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 192.168.0.10'

^ You probably need to use the full path to the shell binary?

risa2000 Interesting. Nice to see the errors are gone. The log also shows Broadcom WiFi is now missing but I suspect that's due to another change I made. Can you update to https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE…h64-11.80.0.tar and share the boot log to confirm (it should be fixed if I'm right)?

wapvi can you confirm it resolves things for you too?

Quote from dmladenov

I just updated - the sound is gone again !

Share Kodi and/or system logs that show a problem, else we have no idea what the issue is.

The images in my test share exist solely to support me testing things with random users. I deliberately use a fixed version and rarely clean build and almost never document the changes inside. I have no plans to change that, so use them at your own peril

If you want something that more directly tracks the upstream LE repo and with known content, it's time to learn how to build your own images. It's not rocket science: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/development/build-basics

4K content comes in a wide variety of different refresh rates and codecs; in fact one of the odd things in your log is no info on the codec of the source media. FFmpeg is instructing that codec id=xx is being used but there's nothing to indicate what that is, and I normally see something more explicit; though with local file or normal internet streams. I'm wondering if that's being obscured by inputstream.adaptive?

Can you repeat with FFMpeg component logging enabled in Kodi settings (System > Logging .. IIRC). Also make whitelist changes as those should generally improve playback over a wide range of media. Does it influence the outcome?

Press 'o' on the keyboard attached to the device or SSH into the box and run "kodi-remote" and press 'o' again. It's not possible to access this directly from the OSD pop-ups.

The other standard advice to resolve CEC issues is: turn everything off, physically unplug cables, go make a coffee/tea (add some minutes of time delay in the sequence) then reconnect cables and power it all back on again. It sounds like random juju, but it genuinely does resolve some issues for users (no guarantees for yours, but harmless and free to try).

Purely for kicks can you update to the latest https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE…h64-11.80.0.tar and share a new dmesg log please. I've described all SD card modes in device-tree and increased the max SD card speed. On most hardware i'd expect this to cause problems, but I'm curious to see what impact/influence it has (not sure it can make things worse).

^ that's the current whitelist decision tree outcome. Kodi will handle scaling 720p content to 2160p without trouble but I'd expect playing 25fps content at 30fps to result in visible glitches. It also looks like you have a 4K desktop resolution?

This article contains general advice for better GUI and playback experience: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/4k-hdr

dmladenov Yes, it woud be good to confirm things. I think my general idea is correct but p261/p271 might be reversed. I also realised that I made the last changes in code but didn't sync them (as patches) to my build folder so the last image you tested didn't contain them. Please update using https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE…h64-11.80.0.tar (again) as I definitely included them this time.

I don't ever test CEC functions so it's hard for me to comment, but if it's working intermittently I'm wondering if timing impacts the problem, i.e. whether Kodi starts before something is ready. You can test/prove that by restarting Kodi with "systemctl restart kodi" over SSH. If it works on restart, it's timing. If it's still intermittent, it's something else. For device-trees you just have to experiment. Google says the box has GB Ethernet so p200 should work; p201 has internal 10/100 PHY only.
