Please try again with https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE…inix-u9h.img.gz which has a fix for the resize issue included https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/8845 - it would be good to confirm this resolves the problem.

Hello, what about DVB addons?
No change. There's been increasingly long delays between LE bumping to a new kernel and crazycat sources being available, which complicated our update cycles, and then upstream stopped maintaining the forward-porting mechanism required for dvb-latest. I'm not sure the team ever formally disussed abandoning all dvb-addon maintenance, but those add-ons incur a continual drip-feed of user complaints so over time we've exhausted the list of willing (and unwilling) volunteers. The best option is to find some hardware you can dedicate to an ancient LE or Ubuntu/Debian + modified kernel version and run cards/server end separate from a Kodi client running latest LE. And in the future, vote with your wallet and use hardware that either has upstream support or runs as a network appliance and avoid all driver shenanigans. Sorry for the lame/wrong answer

You need to install an Arial font that supports Arabic characters to /storage/.kodi/media/Fonts/Arial.ttf and reboot, then select this from Kodi Settings > Interface > Skin > Fonts > Arial based.
-
It's known and not something that can easily (or will be) fixed. The settings add-on is an independent background service. It doesn't run through Kodi and thus isn't part of the skin and cannot be skinned and cannot inherit properties of the skin. We've made it look like default Estuary to suit a percentage of users, but that's all we can do.

This thread is known to devs but since none of them have an afflicted AVR themselves it's not something that's easily tested. If the current investigation comes up with anything (nothing yet, and it's unlikely to be quick) then we'll flag the change and have you all test something to see if the issues are related. In short:
-
You can script kodi-send commands from the console to run/open the add-on, see https://kodi.wiki/view/List_of_built-in_functions but that will only work if the add-on automatically starts playing the stream when opened. If it presents any kind of menu/list of things to play the only option would be to include "keyboard" navigation too. That's possible via JSON-RPC, which is what phone-remote apps are using to drive the GUI, but the best place to ask for that advice would be the Kodi forum.
-
The architecture change means there are no e.g. RPi4 'arm' images to download hence nothing shows up in the list. We could fake the files to make GUI update simple, but that's also a bad idea since additional things like widevine libs and docker containers must be removed and reinstalled when changing arch and users need to be aware of this.
NB: I'll update the main release post on the website to give some instruction.

How can I use LibreELEC to access these drives via Ethernet connection
Share the drives to the network using Windows, then configure sources for them in Kodi. You will need to use authentication as on the Windows side you either share to a specific user (that you must authenticate as) or if "guest" shares are still a thing it means "any username/password can access" but you still need to access and authenticate using a username/password. I personally find it easiest to do this from the SSH console (editing /storage/.kodi/userdata/sources.xml and passwords.xml). Go read the Kodi wiki, it has all the "how to use Kodi" help you need.

Use "video=HDMI-A-1:1280x720M@60" not your odd resolution. Better or no difference?

Update to LE12 and retest. Any difference?
-
I've been using LE12 for the last 10 months on an RPi5 and it's been solid. The latest beta is now superseded by final release, but there's no real-world change. If you are cautious about updates (some are) then just experiment with a spare SD card.
-
What happens if you install LE10 (Matrix) then update the system to LE12 (Omega)?
NB: Does the same happen with LE11?
-
Kodi Omega supports GUI configuration of NFS protocol version (defaults to v4) and chunk size (defaults to 128KB), and similarly the SMB chunk size is exposed (defaults to 128KB). It's possible the defaults are causing issues and you might need to experiment with different values to get things working as before.
-
I'm going to send a PR to add this patch into LE12 nightlies (and then 12.0.1) and if no issue reports come up I'll send it to the upstream kernel. I'm reasonably confident it doesn't cause issues as it's been included in my Amlogic images for several years already, but those don't have the size of audience that RPi has so a little caution is needed.
-
The helper handles the sourcing of widevine libs used for playing DRM encrypted media. I'm not sure YouTube offers any widevine encrypted media so it's probably not required, but if you have plans to use Netflix or Amazon add-ons (and others) it's something that you will need. It's harmless to add in all cases.

I read the tea=leaves in my cup this morning but it hasn't helped with diagnosis. Sharing the URL from "journalctl | paste" would be more fruitful. We need to system the system log please.
