The RTL8189ES driver only exists in my private image (which is why you are stuck with them) so nightly changelogs are irrelevant. I checked the upstream repo that I get the driver from an I'm using the latest versions. Ping CGarces for input ^

2023-02-16 18:11:13.602 T:888     error <general>: ## LibreELEC Addon ## oe::load_url(http://releases.libreelec.tv/releases.json) ## ERROR: (URLError(gaierror(-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')))

^ The error is misleading: dateTime is before the start validity of the TLS certificate and thus the connection fails. If you move time forwards or fix NTP then connections should succeed. I have no issues accessing the repo here on an RPi5. Also note that the repo is intentionally not browseable from a browser so that's expected.

The Linux kernel doesn't support the dynamic formats like HDR10+ currently.

The kernel has bumped from Linux 6.6.x to Linux 6.7.x-rc so the shitty Realtek WiFi driver probably needs some fixing.

No PVR back-ends are preinstalled in the LE image, all must be installed from the LE add-on repo. It's also possible for users to install Docker and the linuxserver.io repo and run Tvheadend (and likely others) as a container. I would start by creating and proving the wizards to each PVR add-on, and once there's equivalent coverage, tackle hooking that into the first-run wizard.

I wasnt' able to get the logs, I checked the instructions but I couldn't do it...

It's a bit like going to a car mechanic (without the car) and asking why it doesn't work..

Have you removed the previously downloaded .zip from /storage/.kodi/addons/packages? .. because Kodi will reinstall using the already downloaded zip instead of redownloading if the file exists (deleting the add-on and settings via the GUI is not enough). The log snippet looks like it's trying to use something built for Xorg (needs OpenGL) wheras the GBM version would use GLES libs.

I put the wiki link in post #2

How do I get to see dmesg output?

Actually, I managed to login via ssh

And what happens if you type "dmesg" and hit enter?

It's not complicated and you can't break anything (worst case you delete a file and reboot to reverse changes). All it needs is some patience and initiative.

If you share logs we might be able to understand why it no longer works and take action (which is cheaper). You won't find many device recommendations because it's too much of a lottery.

LE12 nightlies are running Linux 6.6.x kernels (latest, and will be stable/LTS) and Linux 6.7 is still in the RC stages. Intel are very good at pushing support for new chips upstream. They are less good at fully testing all their media capabilities (their focus will be more on desktop distros) so there are occasional gaps in feature coverage and accidental driver breakage can happen. They do fix things that are reported to them, but few LE staff run x86_64 hardware these days so if there are issues the onus is on affected users to do the reporting. The general rule will always be that issues unreported upstream don't get fixed quickly.

Please describe the audio configuration (audio settings page/options) or take/share a photo.

The best thing to do is plug the device in and then have a look at "dmesg" output. If the kernel has the driver and it's detected you should see the driver probe and load firmware. If it does we have Tvheadend 4.3 and VDR as back-end server apps that can be installed from the LE add-on repo. There aren't any specific guides on setting them up in our wiki, but both apps have their own project websites with their own documentation and a Google search will find up a ton of HOWTO articles.

Read: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/ir-remotes - If there's an existing keymap to reuse you can set it using the 'basic' config steps. If not you need to create your own via 'advanced' config steps (not complicated).

RPi4 has zero support for PCIe devices so why is it "embarrasing" for LE to omit support for PCIe SATA things in our RPi4 image?

Feel free to send a pull-request to GitHub enabling the kernel config that's needed.
