Has anyone tried LE 10b2 and if the bug is fixed?

edit: the bug is still there in 10b2. No Backup through LibreElec Settings possible. It crashes after about 40%

it‘s reported and described in this thread: RE: LE 9.95.1 - Backup Reboot LibreElec on RP4

Is the crash when performing a backup through LE Settings fixed?

I encountered the same since upgrading to 10b1 (RPi4)

I am using tv-headend Server and client plugin from the LE repo with IPTV from german Telekom. It worked nearly flawless with LE 9.2.6

LE 10b1 has MANY changes, finding the cause will be a big deal i believe

I hope anyways that it get fixed in the future.

After some more days of testing i can confirm that 10b1 performs reeeaallllyyy good on the RPi4. Looking forward to upcoming releases

The only issue so far is the crash when performing a LibreElec backup in the LE Settings Menu.

Starting within autostart.sh works here too, thanks!

But why does the daemon not work? The deamon is started by system.d the same way as "python /storage/.config/argononed.py"

The latest LE10b1 for sure is the best base to start with for the RPi4. Completely new rendering system.

i have this problem too when trying to make a backup through the LibreELEC tool/menu.

Quote from CvH

could you share the service.log from the tvheadend userdata folder ?

that sounds very strange

i will do that, but found one problem which might have had a impact: kodi.bin caused a very high CPU Usage, even when just at the main menu without playing anything. I had the UPnP Server enabled which caused the high cpu usage. After disabling the UPnP Server, the kodi.bin cpu usage went to around 10-20%. With the Server enabled it was about 120-130%

IPTV Streaming from TVHeadend now works without continuity errors! I guess the „idle“ CPU load was too much for the RPi4 to provide flawless IPTV.

Furthermore, i had Trace Debug enabled in TVHeadend Server, which caused MASSIVE debug logfiles (multiple Gigabytes), which might have caused the startdelay of the TVH Server. Have to test this further, though. (Edit: the startup-delay is also gone after disabling Tracedebug and removing the huuuuge logfiles)

I was curious to try LE10 out. It has loads of new options for RPi4 Users in my opinion. Much newer kernel, new rendering. Really BIG changes.

I had high hopes that the „subtitle stutter“ vanishes with LE10, sadly the subtitle stutter is still there (hdmidirtyregions zero doesn‘t help)

Another reason i wanted to try out LE10 was to get rid of micro stutter when using audiopassthrough over hdmi (with DTS and E-AC3). I have to check this out further with LE10. It seems to be better at least.

IPTV with TV-Headend Server on LE10 is sluggish (continuity errors) and the Server takes aaaages to start, but hey, it‘s Alpha

I wasn‘t able to take over my homebridge docker container and had to set it up as new, no big deal .

The RPi4 CPU gets hotter with LE10, seems it has more work to do with LE10 than 9.2

After all: good work for the first beta, i am excited to test the out the coming betas

Hopefully the subtitle stutter on RPi4 gets fixed somehow in the future. It‘s the most annoying thing on RPi4 platform besides the micro stutter with audiopassthrough. I never had this subtitle stutter on my x86/nvidia LE9 system...

Thanks LE Team!

Your method has at least one advantage: the system won‘t reboot if kodi thinks it shouldn‘t. For example if a recording on the PVR is running, kodi will show a popup and time out the reboot.

Thanks for the headsup, as i was looking for a nightly reboot solution and have TV-Headend and PVR running on my kodi raspberry.

Thanks knorxi for the testing and patches! Great work! Hope this makes it into upcoming LibreElec Versions.

Is ffmpeg for RPi compiled with pthreads enabled? Compile options are shown when ffmpeg is run without arguments.

CvH

is it possible to implement --enable-pthreads in the ffmpeg-tools plugin?

Ah OK, then it's not on LibreElec at all

After reading for many hours i believe it's working on some systems because ffmpeg must be compiled with pthreads-support to work with the new SSM-multicast-streams.

fmpeg[2160]: [udp] 'circular_buffer_size' option was set but it is not supported on this build (pthread support is required)

Maybe that's also why tvheadend is working on e.g. Synology-NAS' and not on LibreElec?

Kodi bugs should not affect ffmpeg or tvheadend. Could this be a x86 problem?

FHoevi

on which platform does your LibreElec run? x86 or Raspi?

I get no ffmpeg output at all if i try that on commandline and no file is created. Weird?

Thanks, but it also doesn‘t work. Scan failed.

should there be any output if i try it on command-line via SSH (without pipe:) ?
Because there isn‘t any.
