Does the whole OS fault and reboot or (more likely) does Kodi crash and restart? - If the latter, please pastebin the latest Kodi crash log. It can be found under /storage/.kodi/temp/

Can you please share Kodi debug log from the box. Reboot (to clear logs) then play something with HBR audio, and run "pastekodi" from SSH and share the URL. I'd like to see some infos from the log. Thanks.

The log doesn't show any attempt to install or refresh the repo (so is not helpful). Start by doing a force refresh of the repo:

Add-ons > My Add-ons > Repositories > LE repo > right-click/context > refresh

It sounds like a driver issue but these days I have low knowledge on the true state of Intel hardware support (hardware is not impossible, but improbable). If it works with DP > HDMI, stick with what works (at least for now).

Our strong recommendation is to use a separate SAT>IP box or separate the 'head' end device from the player client so you can run whatever distro and distro version that works with the tuners you have, while the player client updates frequently with LE releases. The IT proverb "If it works, don't fix it" applies to anything with DVB .. it's the suckiest stuff we attempt to support.

Known and will be resolved in LE11 beta 2

If the system was installed/working and then stopped; the most likely cause is the USB stick (or whatever device you boot from) has failed. LE is packaged with the entire OS contained in two compressed files (KERNEL and SYSTEM). In a conventional distro, if you have bad sectors on disk it will impact only the couple of files that are written to those sectors, and often the impacted files are not critical files so everything will appear to work until the whole disk gives up. Due to the way LE is packaged, if media corruption impacts any sector involved in storing either of KERNEL/SYSTEM the OS cannot boot at all.

If corruption was due to something like unexpected file loss you might be able to boot Ubuntu and scan/fix the filesystem. If it was due to bad media (underlying pyhsical disk or flash memory issues) then you bin everything and start over with a new USB etc. - You might be able to get the contents or important things from /storage as that's a separate partition on the disk.

IMHO there will only be one RPi killer, and that's another RPi

RPi4 is not the best spec thing in the market, but only comparing hardware specs misses the point about RPi boards. They have massively better long-term software support, so they are reliable and continue to improve with age.

Although bitrate is probably involved somewhere in the overall scheme of things, I'd guess internal bandwidth between IP blocks is where things are on/approaching the limit, so (repeating myself) some overclock might be helpful.

Do you have any other devices to attach to the same HDMI port? .. perhaps an older RPi board, laptop, etc. and does the TV exhibit similar behaviour when display resolutions are changed?

Check how much disk space you have on the SD card (or USB, etc.). If there's not enough space the download might be truncating causing the mismatch in expected filesize vs. filesize on disk. The ChromeOS image is 1-1.2GB in size IRRC (and then you need additional space to unpack it and get the widevine lib inside).

2 mins boot time sounds terribly slow (should be more like 20 secs). Please share the URL from "pastekodi" over SSH so I can boot logs.

Kodi Settings > Interface > Regional .. all the format/timezone things are there.

If the RPi4 is "almost" able to keep up, and as long as you have a decent case (for thermals) perhaps some mild overclock will help?

1. Yes

2. No need to rename, edit uEnv.ini to use the right file. See: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/hardware/amlogic

3. Right process, but will fail due to #2 being wrong

4. Once booted from AMLGX the u-boot environment is modifed to find AMLGX boot files, meaning it will no longer find legacy image boot files. However if you remove the USB and repeat the 'toothpick' forced-recovery boot it should then search for and find the legacy image boot scripts and work with content on eMMC again.

I don't have a U9-H so USB boot isn't tested, but it should be the same as an SD card. If it doesn't work, try different ports, or an SD card.

It's impossible to comment upon or investigate mirror/download issues without knowing which mirror is being used. This should be visible in kodi.log if you look. Otherwise there are 20+ mirrors and

Shall I try LE10?

Whatever works for you, works for us.

Quote from VLouis

Make backup before update to 10.95.0!

I tried (RPi3B+) and after a day changed back to LE11-nightly, far better.

Right now the difference between 10.95.0 and nightlies is basically zero, so that's a placebo update.

For the sake of speaking heresy and pointing out the obvious: If you're otherwise happy with the RPi4, run an Ethernet cable. You might not like cables but it's often the cheapest and better option.

Do I need to rename dtb file into dtb.img

No. Please read the wiki article I linked.
