I'm not sure what has caused it but now I can't ping the RPi4 at all.

Hopefully not a broken RJ45 connector.

Calling ethtool directly from udev is not working because the PHY needs to be UP. As work around I used a delay but this may not be bullet proof.

ACTION!="add", GOTO="end"
SUBSYSTEM!="net", GOTO="end"
ENV{INTERFACE}!="eth*", GOTO="end"

RUN+="/usr/bin/systemd-run --no-block --on-active=3 --timer-property=AccuracySec=100ms /usr/sbin/ethtool -s $env{INTERFACE} advertise 0x008"

LABEL="end"

I do not speak fluent Linux, but I'm learning slowly, so can you please explain. I googled UDEV and the answers I found were far to techie.

Was afraid of such an answer :-). Have to test is myself later.

Using the cables supplied with the BT powerline adaptor I tried pinging - about 50% of packets lost.

After reading this again: looks like using CAT5 cables or less for gigabit connection. At least CAT5e cables are required.

1. autostart.sh is very late in the boot process and called after Wait For Network. You may consider an UDEV rule for eth0.
2. Disabling autonegotiation may cause Duplex Mismatch. Better use ethtool -s eth0 advertise 0x008 to limit the connection speed.

but seems like HDR -> SDR tone mapping isn't going to be available/support in near-term for Kodi v20 or LibreElec on the device before sending to the TV, is that correct?

Tone mapping is even in LE10/Kodi Matrix but only accessible via Playback Settings.

Unfortunately the 5.10.146 kernel of LE 10.0.3 is crashing with some AMD GPUs. This should have been fixed with kernel 5.10.152 of the current LE10 nightly at https://test.libreelec.tv/10.0/Generic/Generic/ but there was no test report yet.

To test without installation use the run option of the install stick.

An LE11 nightly with Kodi 20 as said is an option too.

You can do this with kodi. The behavior can be improved by the Idle Shutdown Script.

This looks similar.

Additional configuration can be done via /storage/.config/sysctl.d/ but bbr is disabled in the kernel.

Da Flex ST Terminal is still part of System Tools Addon for Generic X11, just open the addon. Font size can be increased by <Control><Shift><PageUp>.

The samples in the wiki are for NFSv3 servers only. For NFSv4 servers change the file system to nfs4.

Unfortunately there is no support or NFSv4 in kodi yet.

What is your use case?

The Xbox tuner is having issues with DVB-T2, e.g. missing muxes.

Is your sienna_cichlid GPU still working in LE 10.0.3?

There are some bug reports for Vega GUPs.

Quote from CvH

likewise this broke AMD for LE10

Yes, but I've seen only reports for Vega GFX. E.g. my AMD Polaris12 card is working fine.

This is the output. Is tis showing that the i965 driver is loaded?

Yes.

Quote from denist

how to load the above codes at boot to load the i965 drivers

No need to do that.

kodi.conf is a kodi only configuration and is used. The journalctl command will show the used driver.

The sample code is only needed to set the environment for vainfo.

vainfo (or the shell) is not using kodi.conf by default. Try:

source /storage/.config/kodi.conf
export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE
export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME
vainfo

Edit: fixed the sample code, shell variables have to be exported

journalctl -u kodi will show the libva messages of kodi (beside others).

GPU support was disabled in LE10 Generic kernel. I've created a PR.

You did not provide the output of dmesg/journalctl.
