Nope, with current firmware the board is either off or on; there are no suspend like states where something could remain powered up to receive CEC or USB input and wake the board. The RP1 chip does support lower power states so that might change over time with firmware updates (not soon though).
ok thanks
Pi cant be turned on via CEC can it?
i forgot all about that and bought flirc and normal case 
now gotta throw them and get argon one case with built in
hi
is only way to power on the Pi via IR by a Argon One case with its GPIO connector and script?
I am unable to connect to the LE repo last 2 days
I would run the Kodi desktop/GUI at 1080@60 not 4K@30. Use the mode whitelist to permit switching to 4K for media playback when needed but otherwise allow the TV to scale the 1080p skin and 1080p GUI to the panel 4K native resolution using it's native scaling capabilities that do a better job than Kodi and have no load impact on the HTPC device.
NB: The only hardware that doesn't struggle with 4K desktop output is high(er) end Intel CPUs. All ARM boards run the GUI best at 1080p.
Agree thats why we need this fixed so that we dont need to keep UI in 4k 30 just to avoid bug
What happens if you navigate to the power menu and select Power Off, or map S to a key (that's the shortcut to bring up the Power Off menu)?
I've had no problems switching my Pi 5 off via those routes, and then pressing the Pi5's power button (!) switches it back on again!.
There's a config.txt entry you can enter that massively reduces current draw in shutdown (it's not - or wasn't - on by default as it can cause problems with some HATs because of which power is removed and which remains in that mode.)
looks like it was a remote issue
my harmony 600 remote with flirc no longer accepts the commands I had for my NUC
hope this gets fixed as running UI at 60hz is smoother experience
interesting
I just got pi 5 as decided to want smoother UI experience
I cant power off the Pi 5 using remote though. Using media player keys and flirc.
I'm honestly not sure how I "play" a png file in Kodi?
EDIT: After enabling photos and using "files" to navigating to the dir with the png file the red and magenta bars are showing fine but the text labels for them are not as sharp as the other colours.
Ok thanks looks like it does not fully support 4:4:4 chroma then
thanks all will invest in good SD card.
This doesn't say much, Sandisk has a ton of different models.
I can't test on RPi5 right now but on my PC eg my Sandisk Ultrafit 32GB USB3 stick does about 140MB read / 50 MB write whereas my Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB microsd card achieves 170MB read / 90MB write speed (both tests were linear reading/writing 1GB of data).
so long,
Hias
good to know
Display MoreHave done some tests with reboot and update (from pressing Reboot to updated and fully booted):
Pi5 SDcard = 1 min 35 sec
Pi5 M2 = 50 sec
and
ASRock J5040, 16GB RAM, SSD = 30 sec.
Edit:
Pi4 USB3 SSD = 1 min 5 sec
Pi4 USB2 SSD = 1 min 20 sec
yeah ssd will always be better.
I mainly talking about normal thumb drives
Could you define 'not clear'?
fuzzy
It'll depend a lot on the exact model you use, most of the 32-128GB USB sticks I have are a lot slower than the 32/64GB SD cards I use (Sandisk Extreme Pro), especially when it comes to writes and random access.
As a rule of thumb: if the manufacturer didn's spec write speed it'll be slow. For SD cards also make sure you get one with A1 or A2 application class and, as always, stay away from no-name brands.
You'd need to look for USB SSDs (not USB sticks / thumb drives), they should be fast - but they are quite expensive.

Hias
i mostly use san disk usb 3 drive
Hello
Those on Pi 5 is running LE from SD Card slightly less smooth then running on USB stick?
I found that on Pi4b USB is faster loading.
easiest way to test is put this file on pi and view on TV

if the red and magenta columns are not clear then it does not support it
chewitt you able to test a 4k HDR 4:4:4 colorspace file on the Pi 5 to see if it works?
4:4:4 works on NUCs
I wanted to know if R Pi 5 works with it as 4B didnt.
