dmsaudio Did you find a solution? I'm having the same problem with my LG G4. So right now, I have to do the above mentioned Home Hub thing after every cold boot.

In PC mode the 24Hz stutter is worse than in e.g. Blu-ray Player Mode, even with all motion interpolation turned off.

While I keep image enhancements off for the sake of accuracy, I definitely need subtle motion interpolation (2/10) to overcome the 24Hz stutter. Never knew I was motion sensitive when I had a 60Hz panel Samsung for 10 years. Now with low response times on contemporary panels, watching movies at 24-30Hz is unbearable without some interpolation.

I would like to use a custom shutdown.sh script. If I execute it from the terminal it does work, but it is not called by LibreELEC when selecting Shutdown in Kodi or poweroff in the terminal.

I just put it under /storage/.config/shutdown.sh and made it executable with chmod.

Do I have to register the script somewhere?

Never mind, the problem turned out to be missing network connectivity, which is explained here.

I am using cec-ctl for my scripts, so it would be

cec-ctl --to 0 --user-control-pressed ui-cmd=0x41 and

cec-ctl --to 0 --user-control-pressed ui-cmd=0x42

Further commands I use:

cec-ctl --to 5 --system-audio-mode-request phys-addr=0.0.0.0 to turn on the AVR and enable ARC

cec-ctl --to 5 --standby to turn the AVR off

cec-ctl --to 5 --give-audio-status to get the current volume of the AVR

So, yes, it works.

I am using an IR remote for the Pi and actually want it to be the boss

I might have found the culprit:

From xbmc/peripherals/devices/PeripheralCecAdapter.cpp [Omega], line 499ff:

  switch (pendingVolumeChange)
  {
    case VOLUME_CHANGE_UP:
      m_cecAdapter->SendKeypress(CECDEVICE_AUDIOSYSTEM, CEC_USER_CONTROL_CODE_VOLUME_UP, false);
      break;
    case VOLUME_CHANGE_DOWN:
      m_cecAdapter->SendKeypress(CECDEVICE_AUDIOSYSTEM, CEC_USER_CONTROL_CODE_VOLUME_DOWN, false);
      break;
    case VOLUME_CHANGE_MUTE:
      m_cecAdapter->SendKeypress(CECDEVICE_AUDIOSYSTEM, CEC_USER_CONTROL_CODE_MUTE, false);
      {
        std::unique_lock<CCriticalSection> lock(m_critSection);
        m_bIsMuted = !m_bIsMuted;
      }
      break;
    case VOLUME_CHANGE_NONE:
      if (bSendRelease)
        m_cecAdapter->SendKeyRelease(CECDEVICE_AUDIOSYSTEM, false);
      break;
  }

with CECDEVICE_AUDIOSYSTEM = 5 from libcec's include/cectypes.h.

So it is hardcoded in Kodi to always use the AVR as target, unfortunately. I wished the add-on used what is defined in <setting id="connected_device" value="36037"/>

Any idea how to override this`? Do we need a pull request of someone fully understanding the code?

Hi,

this might be a topic for the Kodi Forum, but I have read more detailed technical CEC threads here, so I think this is the real home of CEC experts.

I am running LE12 stable on a RPi 5.

This is my HDMI setup:

• The Pi is connected to my TV (LG G4)
• The AVR (Yamaha) is connected to my TV as well
• Sound is passed through from the Pi to the AVR using ARC

This is the current CEC topology:

Using the CEC Adapter add-on (Pulse-Eight) I can successfully control the volume of the AVR when it is on, although it seems like the add-on is sending the underlying CEC volume control message directly to the AVR. At least there is no OSD shown on the TV and I can't control the TV's volume when the AVR is turned off.

This is the add-on's config:

<settings>
    <setting id="activate_source" value="1"/>
    <setting id="button_release_delay_ms" value="0"/>
    <setting id="button_repeat_rate_ms" value="0"/>
    <setting id="cec_hdmi_port" value="1"/>
    <setting id="cec_standby_screensaver" value="0"/>
    <setting id="cec_wake_screensaver" value="0"/>
    <setting id="connected_device" value="36037"/>
    <setting id="device_name" value="Kodi"/>
    <setting id="device_type" value="36051"/>
    <setting id="double_tap_timeout_ms" value="300"/>
    <setting id="enabled" value="1"/>
    <setting id="pause_or_stop_playback_on_deactivate" value="36045"/>
    <setting id="pause_playback_on_deactivate" value="0"/>
    <setting id="physical_address" value="0"/>
    <setting id="power_avr_on_as" value="0"/>
    <setting id="send_inactive_source" value="1"/>
    <setting id="standby_devices" value="231"/>
    <setting id="standby_devices_advanced" value=""/>
    <setting id="standby_pc_on_tv_standby" value="36028"/>
    <setting id="standby_tv_on_pc_standby" value="0"/>
    <setting id="tv_vendor" value="0"/>
    <setting id="use_tv_menu_language" value="0"/>
    <setting id="wake_devices" value="36037"/>
    <setting id="wake_devices_advanced" value=""/>
</settings>

So my question is:

Is it possible to have the CEC Adapter add-on send CEC volume control messages to the TV instead of the AVR?

Thanks again to frakkin64 for the Kodi fix, and also thanks to HiassofT for the final merge to LE that makes my weekend.

Thank you so much for your enormous efforts to track this bug down. It's so annoying to have to restart Kodi every few hours because it runs OOM. Can't wait to have a normally working instance again.

Your disrespectful, vulgar and aggressive tone based on prejudices goes way to far IMHO. I tried to provide logs to help investigating a technical problem and even wrote a bash script to log memory usage.

I do not want to take part in personal disputes, so I will leave the thread here. Maybe someone else will provide a clean enough log to solve the problem in the end.

You might want to start by doing a clean installation without any of the banned repositories/addons https://kodi.wiki/view/Official:Forum_rules/Banned_add-ons

1. Can you please tell me which addons you mean? I only found the 5star repo that is on the list of banned repos. I am using the Last Played addon https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=279131 from there, so I am surprised that the repo is banned at all. There shouldn't be a thread in the offical kodi forum if the addon belongs to a banned repo.

2. I can confirm that the memory leakage does not occur with LibreELEC-RPi4.aarch64-12.0-nightly-20230829-db892cd.img.gz, like the thread opener wrote.

Quote from polo_joe

same issue with build nightly-20230911-e17bf16

Can confirm that the memory leak is still present.

and https://paste.kodi.tv/ayiwugolix

Now I have the strange situation that inputstream and visualization addons have been updated, but pvr addons have not. There isn't even a 'PVR-Clients' category at the 'LibreELEC Add-ons' repository. In particular, I need the pvr.hts addon version 20.5.0.

AFAIK, the binary addons are built manually. This may take some time.

Quote from chewitt

We make periodic updates to add-ons and build them when upstream things are bumped (and we notice, there is no automation) but they are not built "nightly" like core images.

Hi Pipesmoker,

1. The config for your clients should be here: /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol. Each client has its own file in JSON format.

2. Channels and timers are in /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend too. Channels in subfolder channel/config and autotimers in subfolder dvr/autorec. Just have a try on copying your 4.2 files there. AFAIK the folder structure has not changed.

Many thanks for shedding some light on screen darkness which was my initial reason for fiddling around with color range. I removed the modetest line from the autostart script and instead adjusted the display settings at last.

If you want to set the output to full range and 12bits, you can do so using modetest:

# Broadcast RGB:

# flags: enum

# enums: Automatic=0 Full=1 Limited 16:235=2

modetest -M vc4 -w 32:Colorspace:12 -w 32:"max bpc":12 -w 32:"Broadcast RGB":1

I have a corresponding entry in my autostart.sh script, of course with ()& around the statement in order to run in background.

The id 32 goes for hdmi0, for hdmi1 use id 41.

I had a similar problem when I set hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1 in config.txt. Setting it to 0 makes CEC work again.

Hello,

I am on LE nightly LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20220424-d546803 and would like to use the python-cec module for some advanced CEC programming. Since there is no pip on LE, I thought it would be possible to compile it myself on another RPi4 with Rasperry Pi OS (64-bit). Using it on LE gives me this error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/storage/scripts/cec/test.py", line 6, in <module>
    from cec import cec
  File "/storage/lib/cec/cec.py", line 9, in <module>
    __bootstrap__()
  File "/storage/lib/cec/cec.py", line 7, in __bootstrap__
    mod = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
ImportError: /storage/lib/cec/cec.cpython-39-aarch64-linux-gnu.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

What am I missing? Both OSes are aarch64, right?

UPDATE:

I solved the problem. Had to compile it on the 32bit version of Raspberry Pi OS. In addition to that, it was necessary to compile with libcec version 4 (most current is 6).

I've got a RemotePi since 2019 and am very happy with it. Unfortunately, their shop was closed last September, but maybe there are still some boards on eBay or so.
