I am sure we will see great device support from the Raspberry Pi team, it's really hard to beat the fact that you can open an issue on Github and they will address it.

We've spotted a few regressions in the kernel and firmware in the last month or so as things have evolved. I'd guesstimate the average time from "first mention of problem" to "fix merged" is around 36h.

Meanwhile an RK3588 fanbois in the Phoronix blog thread is telling me that RK3588 is better because (regarding kernel sources) "the community and Collabora are cleaning them up and exporting them to upstream. It's been a year and things are going well" .. which is roughly how long I've been saying "ask me again in six months" each time someone asks if LE supports RK3588.

QED

No hardware decoding for H.264 is pretty weird as well, though probably not such a problem given the CPU performance.

It removes the max-1080p cap that RPi4 has and so far all the H264 4K media I have plays fine; although I'll self-admit that I have very little 4K H264 media since it's not a broadcast standard. Normal 1080p media is no issue at all.

Xorg start runs a script to detect the primary GPU and symlink the appropriate libs needed for that GPU flavour to work.

See: https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…/xorg-configure

cd /storage/.kodi/addons
wget https://github.com/glab84/plugin.audio.radio_data/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
unzip master.zip
mv plugin.audio.radio_data-master plugin.audio.radio_data
systemctl restart kodi

LibreELEC does not include git but you can download a `zip file from GitHub ^ and unpack it. Then you need to restart Kodi and navigate to the add-on and enable it.

Yes, as long as the BT chipset in the dongle is recognised by the kernel and results in BT drivers being loaded. It's never 100% guaranteed but these days most devices use known/generic BT chips and should work.

Have a read here: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/pulseaudio

Yes, as long as you have no plans to downgrade back to the earlier release (If yes, make a backup first).

If you're seeing the Kodi splash things are up/running so you can SSH in to check kodi.log and see what's going on (or not). If there's not much info (as not in debug mode) and you have local DB files then it's possible to stop Kodi, add content to advancedsettings.xml for debug mode, delete the Nexus DB files, then restart kodi to reinitiate the update; but this time you'll see more info in the log to find the issue. If you have an external DB then it's the same process but you'll need to drop the tables in the DB to force the update process to restart.

Changing that URL to HTTP (as ix.io does not use HTTPS) shows ^ which definitely didn't come from an Acer PC

I would recommend testing/using LE12 nightlies as those have much newer kernels and mesa code.

the new u-boot loader is what is faulty --- and I don't know why it is being used if it is known to be problematic

Wrong. The user hardware is faulty, which creates noise on the UART which is interpreted as keypresses causing boot to be interrupted.

Stats show a reasonably number of AMLGX installs on Hub hardware, though I have no way of knowing whether people are using the upstream u-boot image or the box image

I've been busy tinkering with something else recently so didn't find time for building a tweaked u-boot version. Soon insh'allah.

No success despite repeating these steps. I have plenty of free memory and the CPU is idling along with no load. What am I doing wrong?

You're wrongly assuming that LE follows normal Linux distro packaging conventions. It doesn't (intentionally). If you really want to run a Plex server on the same device as a Kodi playback client, install the Docker add-on and investigate running Plex server in a Docker container. I'm not aware of any LE specific howto guides/writeups for this, but Docker is Docker.

My wifi is ok.

Not according to the log snippet shared (which is too small to really diagnose anything from).

Fix your network problem?

Please remove the EDID config.. I don't believe it's relevant to the issue. Then update to this image:

https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/t…EC-gbm.x86_64-11.80.0.tar (update existing install)

I've changed the kernel patch to add a different quirk type (based on the thread Da Flex found). Cross fingers and roll dice

You can use the LE USB/SD app to create the image, or Win32DiskImager, or other similar apps. You can experiment with another SD card. If it's some kind of repeating issue when you use a different app and/or card then it's something massively obscure but local to your specific box. Active install stats for the project show me that there are enough people using the AMLGX image and/or with S905X devices to know it's not a general issue with the image.

I am facing an issue can ia ask a question?

If you want an answer it would be a good idea
