  • Nightly 13.0 and CEC control

    I've been having this issue too on 13.0 nightlies. Essentially mapping my settings via the GUI and then on a restart all would be reset and overruled. My solution was to ssh in and chmod 444 my CEC settings so they became read only once i'd set them to what i wanted.

  • Switch to GL in the Nightlies is now preventing install

    Hi All,

    So i'm running a 10th Gen Intel NUC i3 and i'm trying to upgrade to the latest nightly from one of the retroplayer 13 builds. However when i try to upgrade i see this message on the terminal.

    ERROR: LibreElec-Generic.x86-64-13.nightly-20250725-f0482de.img.gz is not compatible with Generic-gl.x86.64 hardware - Update cancelled


    So i know the builds now include the full switch to GL but i thought this should be compatible with my NUC? I'm downloading the usual Generic build and not sure if i should now switch to Generic-Legacy?

    Any help is much appreciated

  • CEC settings not saving on latest LE nightly LE 13

    Hi, not sure if this is a Kodi issue, a CEC driver issue or an issue with LE.

    However - in testing out my new receiver. I keep trying to change the CEC settings in the input menu to knowing it's connected to the receiver and not the TV.
    The setting seems to stick however when i reset my Intel NUC (w/ Pulse-Eight adapter) it keeps resetting the setting back to 'connected via TV' and my previous setting has been overruled.

    I've still not managed to get CEC working yet via my Denon X1800H despite on Kodi boot i see a Pulse Eight Notification highlighting connected to TV - DenonX1800 but i'm thinking that this issue is currently happening because of the setting problems.

    This too happens on the LE 12 branch too.


    Any help is much appreciated.

  • [x86-64] Audio Passthrough Not Working on LE 12 Nightly

    Just wondering if people can clarify some settings for me. Im about to invest in a surround set up but want to make sure that i can successfully pass audio through from my device.

    I'm using an Intel NUC 10th gen.

    My TV connects to it via HDMI 1 and the soundbar is connected via eARC to HDMI 2. I've enabled passthrough but have no audio. In my settings what should audio output device be ? Should it be HDMI 1, 2? I'm a little unsure and dipping my toe into the expensive world of audio is daunting. Any support would be much appreciated.

    I'm hestiant to connect the tv directly to the soundbar because i've already got a device plugged into it. My PS5 is successfully able to trigger things like atmos despite being plugged into HDMI 4.

  • [x86-64] LibCEC LG C9 Weirdness (Pulse-Eight)

    Just in case anyone googles this in future.

    My fix was to cycle down the power of EVERYTHING on the tv including the tv.
    Pull out the HDMIs

    Slowly cycle devices back up one by one and make sure SIMPLINK is enabled on the TV and quickstart + is disabled.

    TV will recognise the device as KODI when you power it on and after a few seconds plug in the HDMI


    LG TVs are a flakey nightmare essentially.

  • [x86-64] LibCEC LG C9 Weirdness (Pulse-Eight)

    Hi i'm running LE 12 and after doing a big wipe and reboot including pulling some cables from my tv i seem to have borked my seemingly rock solid CEC support i had on my HTPC.

    I'm using an Intel NUC with a pulse eight adapter thats pressed onto the board, that's not been touched at all.

    Now when starting kodi - it looks like the Pulse Eight tries to connect and then eventually this says connection lost with my remote never having connected. It also takes so much longer to switch to this specific input 30-40 seconds than it previously did.

    Its tough because when i reconnected my HTPC my TV started trying to do the device auto connector and classed it as a blu ray player. I'm not sure if my issue is with the tv or with the HTPC and libcec, not sure if anyone with an LG OLED is able to help say how they've got their HTPC set up and what the tv recognises the box as.

    I did see a message just before too saying that the firmware of libcec could be upgraded and to check out the pulse-eight blog but i couldn't see anything

    I'm running libcec version 4.0.7.

  • HDR on x86 Hardware

    Just checking if anyone has seen this issue before if not i'll get an issue raised and a debug log posted.
    Essentially anytime i play a 4k HDR video there will be no audio. To get audio, i have to enable passthrough, wait a second, then disable passthrough and everything will work fine going forward. It's a bit of an odd one i've just dealt with the last few months.
    Running latest LE 12.1 nightly.

  • Errors in Logs for Repos that aren't installed

    I keep finding these errors littered across my logs

    I've looked into my addons userdata folder and the system folder /usr/share/kodi/addons but none of them show up.

    I can see the repos from the log in the addons table but they don't show up in the installed table.
    Thats the problem here is they are giving me errors in the logs but as far as i can see everywhere they're not installed
