If you're looking for a drop in replacement I'd probably hold off till we see Jasper Lake ITX boards from ASRock etc.

Something like the ASRock J5040-ITX would be a good option today, but it doesn't have an M2 port. You can likely get an adapter for the PCIe 1x slot if NVMe is really key to your use case. For LibreELEC NVMe is probably overkill.

Otherwise you'll probably need to go to something like LGA 1200 to get a M2 port, an i3 or low spec CPU would probably suffice.

The RPi4 would be an option too if you're willing to compromise on your Intel requirement, perhaps replace the DVB-S2 tuner with something like a Digibit R1.

For LibreELEC the RPi4 is your best option of the two. To get the full benefits from the Pi you need to run nightly's at the moment, but I think there was a comment previously that these improvements would be backported to the next 10.0.X release.

It would be great to get some feedback on the LE10 testbuild as well, initial testing here looked good, but we'd like to have some more positive confirmation that things work as expected before adding the backport patches to official LE10 releases.

Installed on my spare machine, so far so good. Have flicked through a few channels with 1080i content and it looks as good as my main Intel HTPC. TV isn't 4K so haven't had a chance to try that or HDR etc yet.

Thanks for the help, think its a false alert.

I am running the BanIP package on OpenWrt and looks like addons.libreelec.tv is being blocked by one of the blacklists. Will do some digging to find out which blacklist but for now the package is disabled and everything is running as expected.

Clean install on LE 10.0.1 on an x86/Intel box and I'm unable to access the LE repo. My Google'ing indicates its a NTP issue, but fixing the time doesn't seem to be working.

Kodi logs -> ix.io/3IDK

NTP -> ix.io/3IDR

Interestingly LE has my time zone as Antarctica/McMurdo even though it set to New Zealand/Auckland in the Kodi GUI. If I change the time zone in the GUI to New Caledonia it show correctly on the CLI.

Can I force the time zone manually by the CLI?

Amazing! Just did an upgrade from 10.1 to the latest nightly and deinterlacing is running well. Done a few test runs with some 1080i content and so far so good.

Starting to see lots of interesting options using these SOC's coming to market, do you think they'll get mainline support? or perhaps LE too?

I assume still no hardware deinterlacing? Will the working being done on deinterlacing for the Pi help here?

The majority of issues with RPi4 are due to bad PSUs, bad cables, Argon cases, users not reading release notes that detail differences between old and new ways of doing things and/or having fundamentally wrong expectations to start with.

Any chance you can expand on your concerns re Argon cases? I love mine, the form factors is a big win for me.

More on the Sep 4th build-

As I said, I don’t get any UI (navigation) sounds unless I turn Keep audio device alive on. Also, under the resolution options I have entries like this-

1920x1080p sbs 60.00Hz. What does the “sbs” stand for? I also have some resolutions with “tab” next to it.

Lastly, this build is locking up with some of the Widevine requiring addons like Prime Video, etc.

Any chance you’re using Gemini lake hardware? I’ve lost UI sounds on LE10.

Still having audio issues on X86 with this build.

Be warned that LE10 on the RPi4 is lacking deinterlacing, so is no good for live TV. Once the Pi get deinterlacing it would be a clear winner in my view.

I've just upgrade to LE10 RC1 and have lost audio passthrough. The passthrough options are enabled in the settings, but my sound bar is only getting LPCM.

Any ideas on what I can do to get passthrough back?

Logs attached:

hastebin - etacunaweg (kodi.tv)

Audio passthrough has stopped working on my x86 install. Was working fine on B3 and I skipped B4. Any chance this is a known issue or do you need logs etc?

Bump. Still have no menu sounds after watching a video when using audio passthrough. issue persists on Beta 2.

- Updated with the changes from current Kodi and LE master branches.

- Linux kernel 5.12-rc8

- Fixed Retroplayer glitches (CONFIG_DMABUF_HEAPS)

Image #1: lrusak/drmprime-2img-no-ffmpeg-bump branch (HDR known to work on Tiger Lake, Gemini Lake and some other Intel hardware)

Image #2: lrusak/drmprime-vaapi-hdr branch (HDR probably works only on Gemini Lake)

For Gemini Lake is there one build you would recommend over the other?

Turns out “Fixed” disables audio passthrough. So not really a viable solution. Any ideas on what has broken the menu sounds?

Quote from PANiCnz

I think going back to the i965 drivers has also fixed the menu sounds (might be speaking too soon). But I put Kodi back to "Best Match" and the menu sounds are behaving as expected.

Scratch that, old drivers made no difference. Back to "Fixed" in order to get menu sounds.
