    ok, so although the support here seems to be non existent. if my question was not understood, id at the very least like someone to tell me, so that i can rephrase it.

    The bigger problem usually is that people believe that we, support people, are sitting right next to the complainer in their home, and that we know all the technical details of their problematic Kodi setup. We are not, and we do not. The actual amount of tech details given by you is only minimal at best. It could be a number of devices, but I'm guessing it's about a Raspberry Pi.

    Yes, sometimes questions take a little longer to answer. FYI, this here is not a 24/7 commercial help desk. I for one had the long weekend dealing with the usual housekeeping chores, doing informal care and helping out family members with computer troubles (yeah, I'm that guy). I'm sure others had things to do as well.

    Stating that in general support on this forum is non-existent is quite offensive. In the earlier years, when the Internet was still a baby, programming problems wouldn't be solved for weeks to months. Now, people's expectations have become spoiled rotten over the years when one or more days, even hours can be too long for them. Moreover, they get annoyed when they are not spoken to. Well, your Majesty, sh!t happens.

    But, in the true spirit of computing, you've fixed the problem yourself. It's a good example to first think/search a little further for yourself from now on. Google is your friend here: "raspberry pi screen rotate" should give you plenty of pointers. ;)

    I'm not the master dev here, but I see some stuff.

    This doesn't seem to work. The Youtube dev could take a look into that.

    Some GoogleVideo URL couldn't be found (anymore).

    Why?

    Its run and make no problem.

    Why? Not just here on this forum, but also on the Kodi forum there are plenty of people asking for support but have installed one or more video add-ons which are basically veering away from the legal side of things. And plenty of such add-ons have been known to cause havoc to a degree to Kodi's internal functionality. With a "slow and unstable" Kodi setups as a result.

    If all runs fine, that's great. Just don't knock on our door in case you have some shady add-ons installed, and things aren't working properly anymore. Teams LibreELEC and Kodi have their forum rules to explain all that.

    Sporadically the PI4 becomes inaccessible. No ssh access, no more samba sharing.

    You may have simply an unstable wifi connection. For whatever reason, the connection is halted.

    Have you checked perhaps the lease time of the DHCP pool in your router?

    Perhaps you can double check with a cabled UTP connected and see if the same error occurs?


    We do prefer full log files from Kodi, not a simple snippet.

    Provide logs via pastebin websites.

    but I supposed that wasn't a problem because my TV is only full-hd, so I expected that the 3B+ will reproduce it downscaled only at 1080P.

    There are a couple of factors:

    - the video source

    - the max processing video resolution

    - the video output resolution

    - video format

    As an example: I've used a Intel Celeron C1037 motherboard for quite a few years until the HEVC video format came along. Until then, most videos were h.264 formatted. With a few tricks, LibreELEC's predesessor was able to internally render 4K h.264 videos. The video output on the C1037 motherboard however is only 1080p.

    As long as the graphics card of a computer can render the video file, the video output port (DVI, HDMI, VGA) on the motherboard will have to match those specifications. After that, it doesn't matter if you connect a 4K,1080p, a 720p or 1280x1024 monitor to the computer. It will display it.

    It's like the weakest link in the whole video chain. If one link only does 1080p and no 4K, 1080p becomes the maximum. Or even lower.

    Your Raspberry Pi 3B+ cannot handle 4K to begin with. The GPU only computes/renders up to 1080p. That is simply your 'problem'.
