Hi all,

I hope I posted the issue in the correct section? If not, I am sorry...

Anyways, I purchased a new TV (Samsung 75Q90R) about a week ago. Finally connected everything and everything is working fine except for my Kodi (Intel NUC). I get video, but I cannot get any sound. I have tried a ton of settings and even different (testing) video's and in some cases I actually managed to get sound. I think it was related to the audio source of the video; apparently when the source of the video has e.g. DTS-MA (or something like that) I cannot get any sound played.

Obviously you will need more details, so here goes. I have a Denon AV-receiver (AVR-X1400H), Entone (which is uses a seperate fiber internet connection for TV programs) and an Intel NUC (with Kodi installed on it).

I have my HDMI OUT on the Denon receiver (ARC) connected to the Samsung One Connect Box (HDMI #3 with ARC). I have the Entone (for TV programs) connected to HDMI #4. And I have the Intel NUC (Kodi; for streaming movies and such) connected to HDMI #2 (also tried HDMI #1).

Reason for the above is that I can control everything with the Samsung remote perfectly. I can switch TV channels with the Samsung remote on the Entone. Both video and sound (over my AV-receiver) are working fine. Also Netflix-app on the Samsung TV works perfectly fine (video and sound). So in the case of the Entone and Netflix I have video and sound is being played over the KEF speakers through the AV-receiver. So far all good.

The problem is the Intel NUC (with Kodi installed on it). No matter what I try or do (fooled around in Kodi settings along on the Samsung TV) I do get video, but I do not get any sound. Shouldn't it just pass the sound to the AV-receiver like it does with the Entone?

I did get sound at one point, but that was a different video with a different sound track (e.g. not DTS-MA or whatever it's called). I also fooled around with the passthrough settings in Kodi (among others), but also no succes.

The only way to make it work is by plugging the Intel NUC in one of the HDMI (IN) ports on the AV-receiver (at the moment HDMI #5). That way, I have video and sound without any issues. HOWEVER; I lose control over the Intel NUC with the Samsung remote. And this is really something I would want. This would mean I can ditch all remotes completely and only have the Samsung remote.

So I don't know if someone can help me (I will post this issue also on other forums), but I hope someone has some experience in getting an Intel NUC (with Kodi preferably ofcourse) to work correctly, in terms of sound/audio, with their Samsung One Connect Box.

I don't know if it's important to state the Intel NUC I have, but it's the Intel NUC 7i5BNH. And yes, I even updated it to the latest BIOS yesterday (the old BIOS was dated 2017). But that didn't help either. As mentioned Kodi is installed on the Intel NUC. The OS for Kodi I used is LibreELEC. I did fool around with various settings, but no luck so far.

Maybe someone has an idea? I am willing to try anything in order to get this working with the Samsung One Connect Box.

Thanks in advance for taking a look!

Regards

A small follow-up; which I forgot to mention. Apparently the Samsung 75Q90R does not support DTS codec (according to the specifications). So maybe that's the cause...

...however, since I the AV-receiver's HDMI OUT (with ARC) which connects to the Samsung One Connect Box on HDMI #3 (ARC) it should pass the sound to the AV-receiver, right? Maybe I am mistaken, but also could explain that a different video with a different audio channel (non DTS) worked before.

Hi guys,

New here and new to LibreELEC.

I have an issue where "Set content" (so it adds series or movies to the Kodi library) doesn't do anything. I have now spend several hours on this and really getting fed up with it to be honest.

Here is my situation;
I have two Intel NUC's. One is located in the living room and one is located in our bedroom. Both were running on OpenELEC and decided it was time to update the BIOS (was running an old version) and wanted to give LibreELEC a go to see what's different. Anyways; I decided to update the Intel NUC in the bedroom first and didn't think it would be a lot of work (this was almost 6 hours ago now).

Anyways; flashing the BIOS was speedy. Next I ran gparted and cleaned the whole SSD in the Intel NUC. Next I installed LibreELEC from USB. This didn't go fast, but apparently the USB stick wasn't very reliable. In the end I got LibreELEC installed by using a different USB stick.

First I downloaded "Aeon Nox" skin, since I have been using that for ages (and feeling comfortable with it). And several other addons (subtitle addons, retrospect, not much else).
Next I removed the unused items from the main scrolling menu (like pictures, music, etc.).

I still had a copy of my advancedsettings.xml, which has entries for my Synology MariaDB. I am using this because I have two Intel NUC (with Kodi) and they share the same single library (so it remembers what I have watched and where to resume a movei/serie). The advancedsettings.xml had only settings in regards to the MariaDB library. So I copied it back over to the correct directory.

Obviously my movies, series, etc. are also located on my Synology NAS. They are NFS shares and correctly setup and accessable.

Now as for the problem. I cannot add movies / series to my library whatever I do. I go to the NFS share which has (for example) my movies. Add that, but nothing happens. Also set content doesn't do a thing. Nothing is added. It keeps showing "Files, Playlists and Video Addons". Also on a reboot it doesn't update the library at all.

This is driving me nuts. Especially considering everything was working without issues on OpenELEC. I don't blame LibreELEC and probably I am doing something wrong here, but I have no clue what or how to solve it. Been at it for hours now.......

The "funny" thing is. Is that the Intel NUC in the living room (with OpenELEC) is still working without issues at all.

Any ideas? Please? Thank you!

//update

Some more information.
The Intel NUC in the living room has OpenELEC installation and is running Kodi 15.2
The Intel NUC in the bedroom has (now) LibreELEC installation and is running Kodi 16.1

Pfffffffffffffffffffffft.... Should have enabled the wait for network option.
Now it's scanning at least.

I did clone MyVideos93 (original one from Kodi 15.2) to MyVideos99.
Should I delete the clone?
