No idea as I don't track Rockchip development. I've moved the thread. The Airplay/CEC interaction makes no sense to me and sounds more like an inadequate PSU issue than an actual bug in code.

The latest version should have the greatest number of fixes/updates, but these are nightlies and we are crowdtesting changes so we avoid calling anything 'stable' because we occasionally break things.

What chipset is in the Wavlink? .. share the URL from "dmesg | paste"

palle_c add "ssh" to boot params in syslinux.cfg and the SSH daemon is forced to start on boot.

Connector 1 (42) HDMI-A-2 (connected)

Move the connection to HDMI-A-1 which is the connector nearest the PSU socket.

Remove drm.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-2:edid/edid-HDMI-A-2.bin video=HDMI-A-2:D from cmdline.txt

Add video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60 to cmdline.txt

Ensure RPi firmware is updated (done from LE settings, Update).

If using an Argon case, remove the board and connect direct without the problematic internal connectors.

Reboot. Fixed?

If not, remove the SD card and allow the RPi to boot to a display test screen. Anything flagged?

HDMI-CEC control for the win

I see nothing in the log beyond the wlan0 interface being created. There's no connection attempt.

I also see no reason to generate a Kodi debug log (as requested). It won't show anything related to connman/iwd/rtw89.

Urgh.. thread merge doesn't work nicely (sorry) but we'd prefer to continue with a single thread on the same topic.

Thanks for confirming. I'll work up enthusiasm to push an update to LE12 to enable that kernel module. I'll avoid the tempatation to bump the kernel as I haven't tested/booted LE12 for some time now.

In attempting the long list of Qs:

* I've not seen reboot issues for a while, although I use an eMMC module for testing not SD cards. I'll add a card check to a to-do list of things, but I caution that I'm often rather slow at ticking items off the list.

* Known issue with subtitles. I'm told it's a problem with lima/Utgard and needs something fixing in mesa, which is taking time.

* No idea but probably a Kodi issue not a LibreELEC issue.

* System Info page clearly shows K22 and the build details (bottom of the page) using the default Estuary skin.

* No idea about NTP issues, I've never needed to change the defaults.

* LE settings changes the OS keyboard (console etc.) not the Kodi UI keyboard in Settings > Regional > Virtual Keyboard Layouts.

* If you want name resolution to work without DNS, configure /storage/.config/hosts.conf as you would /etc/hosts.

* Yes, putting .tar or .img.gz in /storage/.update will work.

* The .img is a standard USB/SD card image. Most Windows tools don't understand Linux partitioning schemes well so I'd guess VCD is just another one to add to th elist.

Is there anyone out there using LibreELEC on a Zero 2W?

Stats show 33 active installs on a Zero 2W board. 1x on 12.0.2, 1x on 11.0.6, 24x on 10.0.4, and the rest on old nightlies. Installs do not prove it's viable, I'd expect half/most of them are just using LE to run something like Tvheadend in the background. Playback will not be great and there's no cure for that. If you're still keen to have a poor experience, the instructions are probably in this thread.

I've no idea about the issue, but before doing anything more I'd update the flirc firmware to current to see if the cures anything?

In short, no, because in LE there is effectively only a root user in the OS. I wouldn't expect that to be an issue though. You might see some warnings in logs, but warnings are informational, not errors which are fatal.

As a general rule RAM size and I/O performance don't make a difference for video decoding performance or cause stuttering. RPi5 has the CPU grunt to software-decode most formats to 4K30 (only HEVC is hardware decoded and supported above that) so media format can be important. Kodi config also needs to be right, see: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/4k-hdr

Please test the C2 image from my test share again. I'm guessing at the issue, but the image reverts an upstream kernel change that might be responsible for USB issues. Let me know.

EDIT: it may simply be CONFIG_USB_ONBOARD_HUB being dropped in the switch to CONFIG_USB_ONBOARD_DEV when we've rebased against Linux 6.10 and the kernel defconfig being missed since then.

I've updated the images in the test share to (re)enable that. Please see if it works?

The lack of subtitles is a known issue in K22 caused by shader optimisations in Kodi, it's been flagged to @sarbes who is the Kodi dev responsible for that. To downgrade to K21, download the 12.0.2 .tar file to /storage/.update, stop Kodi, remove /storage/.kodi, then reboot to perform the update.

See if this one works: https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE…droid-c2.img.gz

Merged. The updated add-on should be in the repo in the next 24-36 hours.

LE is minimalist and the Generic image probably needs CONFIG_SENSORS_APPLESMC enabling in defconfig.

There's no problem to include the module, but we need to prove that's the fix first. As you seem to be the tinkering type, can you self-build an image to test? See: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/development/build-basics .. it's just a case of cloning our sources and then editing the .conf file before running the build command.
