  • Can't manually change HDMI port in CEC Adapter Settings

    Quote from Niceguy

    Why not simply ask why he shoud wait an hour instead of making stupid remarks ?

    Stupid remarks... 3 letters can already set you off?!? Well, perhaps because I had some idea it had to be something weird, and this time it's about RAM chips needing an hour before they start forgetting whatever they were doing, which is not a thing at all for RPi devices.

    Quote from Niceguy

    Maybe there are some RAM-Chips build inside the TV and/or the Raspberry which stores some Data (Settings) as long as they connected to Power, like the Chips you use as RAM on your Computer.

    "Maybe"..? Please don't start making things up along the way again. Why would that be helpful?


    Really, a modern LED TV and the RPi are not 70-80's television sets with light bulbs that have up to 25,000 volts on their tubes. The RPi has a modern design. It really does go into Alzheimer mode in under 3 seconds after the power has been cut off.


    Helping out people on a forum really is fine, but giving out dis-information is not helpful. I actually don't know everything about LibreELEC or computers, but I'll join in when I have something on Kodi which I know is correct.

  • Almost all my TV shows are gone after reboot

    Your data drives are normally okay after a power outage, as nothing was probably written to them, but check them anyway to be sure.


    Data on a SDcard is a bit more volatile, however the fact that only part of the tv shows have gone is a bit weird. Nevertheless, data corruption is possible. In such cases, since you can't tell which data is still okay and which is damaged, it's best to either start from the beginning and rescrape your video collection into a new database, or better yet, get your backups out, and restore them (...) .


    Yes, there will always be that moment when backups are welcome. It only costs a couple of minutes of your time, but they are so useful.

  • Is NFS the best option to stream videos from QNAP to Pi (Kodi)?

    Quote from Lain

    When I copied the movie file from the Pi (USB HDD) to the NAS (NFS), Kodi showed a write speed of about 40-60MB/s in the top corner, so way below what a 1Gbps networks should be able to do.

    Write speeds of SDcards and USB sticks are often not that great, compared to read speeds. 40-60MB/s is quite good though.


    NFS in general should be a little bit faster as there is less overhead in its file protocol. But things can vary per situation, so use SMB or NFS, whichever comes out best for you.


    The ports on the RPi4 also do not reach PC speeds. Both USB3.0 and Gigabit ports have approx half the advertised speeds.


    As your as using a QNAP NAS, this is FYI: https://www.bleepingcomputer.c…ap-nas-devices-worldwide/

  • failed to start xorg

    I'm running Ubuntu 21.10 on UHD605 with a 2560x1440 monitor with 60hz. It is not crashing.

    I know it's not 4K but I don't think it makes much of a difference.

  • failed to start xorg

    I have an Asrock J5005 ITX board with UHD605 graphics, but I didn't have the boot problem. Perhaps the Brix BIOS/UEFI is being a d!ck again.


    Something that is necessary (at least on my board), is that I had to change to a different/older driver:

    Create /storage/.config/kodi.conf and add:

    Code
    LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME="i965"

    Without it, h265/HEVC video won't play correctly.

  • Lip sync issues / audio drop out

    Please provide a full debug log.

    How to post a log (wiki)

    1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
    2. Restart Kodi
    3. Replicate the problem.

    Full logs only. No modified logs.

    Do not post your logs directly into the forum,
    use Settings > LE Settings Addon > System > Paste system logs
    and post the link.

  • ASS-Subtitle Problem

    Quote from Niceguy

    So if I got you right, you're saying the Bug about the ASS-Subtitles still exist in LibreElec 10.0.1 ?

    It's very much possible. I cannot confirm it because only use SRT subtitles.


    Quote from itisljar

    Subtitle rendering problem can be tied with inadequate graphic card driver

    I doubt the Intel video driver is the problem here.


    Quote from Niceguy

    I'm using an Asus Eee-PC R101(or 1001PX like the Manual says)

    That's a 12-yr old Atom-based notebook... Intel GMA 3150 graphics... Ugh.

  • ASS-Subtitle Problem

    Kodi's source code for displaying subtitles is being rewritten for Kodi 20 Nexus.

    I'm not sure how far along those have come already, but nothing much will be updated for Kodi 19 Matrix.

  • How do I downgrade Pi 4B bootloader/firmware?

    Quote from Lain

    but found there were too many apps that weren't available for it

    Well... It was announced only some 2.5 years ago that the Python part of Kodi would be upgraded from v2 to v3. If developers still haven't found the time to upgrade their Kodi add-ons, then that's on them.


    Which add-ons (apps..) are still not available for Kodi 19?

  • The sound is not in sync with the video

    Quote from holymouse

    And besides this "anti" piracy aspect is purely dishonest.

    Oh.. You mean that paying for a service should be deemed a criminal act? You need to come back to reality. Stealing video content is not what we encourage.


    Keeping talking trash and your forum account will be closed.

    Why do even anybody need Kodi?

    If that's the case, why are you even here?


    Quote from holymouse

    or sure not for streaming DRM proofed like Netflix or his own ripped BluRay content...

    Perhaps in your area everyone uses pirated video streams, in other parts of the world, people actually do have DVD and BD collections.

  • The sound is not in sync with the video

    holymouse It really is NOT appreciated asking for support on this forum when you have piracy repos like xtream and dobbelina installed. It's against the forum rules and Kodi's piracy policy, which you accepted during registration.


    So fully clean up your Kodi setup first, and then we'll continue. FYI, piracy add-ons are known to disrupt Kodi's core functionality.
