    We have a "know working" TVHeadend version at our repo. So, I understand your point, but if some TVH version withing some docker downloaded from somewhere doesn't work, we can't help much, I guess. So my advice would be to test with that version we ship and see if the issue still exists. If yes, then we might work on that addon itself and probably CvH might have a look. If not, then you know where the issue comes from ;)

    addicted0ne:

    please check that your settings level is set to "expert".

    Then check if you have enabled "change refreshrate to match video". That is necessary to change the refreshrate of the TV to 24fps for BR content. If disabled it might cause stuttering, which seems to be your issue.

    For the passthrough, please check if you have "Sync playback to display" enabled. If yes, please disable it as by enabling that setting it will disable passthrough because the audio stream has to be resampled.

    I never had any delay problems using the Wetek Hub.

    "Sync Playback to display" will disable passthrough at all. As audio has to be resampled by this setting.

    "Change refreshrate to match video" will set the TV in the specific Hz mode the movie will provide. So if Kodis GUI is set to use 60Hz and a movie is 1080p50 it will set the TV to use 50Hz instead of 60HZ by that setting. That is mostly important to get a smooth stutter-free playback for 24p content (which nearly any Bluray has). If you disable that, your TV isn't set to 1080p24 if the movie starts and the movie will be played at what you have Kodi set to. That might cause stuttering.

    So if you want to have passthrough and a smooth playback depending on the refreshrate of the movie, please disable "sync playback to display" and set "change refreshrate to match video" to "start/stop".

    The speaker layout (2.0, 5.1 whatever) is only important if you don't use passthrough. Kodis GUI and the menu sounds (for example) will use that speaker layout. That's the reason you will see your AVR is switching to "DolbyPrologic IIx" probably if you stop a movie and navigate through the menus.

    If you still have an audio delay with those settings I mentioned above, please provide a full debuglog.

    And please don't compare LibreELEC with something that might be set up on Ubuntu. LibreELEC is not Ubuntu. It's completely different.

    You can't install Java in the easy way as there is no apt-get for LibreELEC. LibreELEC is a read only system, which means you can't install anything (beside addons). You have to compile LibreELEC for yourself and add the packages you need. So, best practice is, clone your own LE build from git and start changing the things you want to add.

    If you can't do that (because of the lack of knowledge) some other OS might probably be a better choice, tbh.

    Many open questions...

    I guess it's a USB HDD?
    To which kind of hardware is it plugged?
    Which LibreELEC version do you use?
    Is there already some content on the drive?
    To what is the drive formatted?
    Have you tried using a different USB-port?


    39" 4k tv

    How far away are you from the TV while you are watching? With 39" to get a real benefit from 4k, I would say max 1,5m. Is that correct?

    Just to make this clear. The human eye isn't able to see a difference from HD-ready (720p) to Full-HD on a 37" TV while you are 4m away. So it gets worse to notice that difference on such a little TV with FullHD and 4k. So I doubt you see a real difference if you are about 4m away from that.

    Android is an OS. Kodi is an application running on an OS. You are able to buy an Android based box and install kodi on it. While running Android as an OS you are ofc able to install apk files. But this all has nothing to do with Kodi itself. Those are completely different things.

    And for the note. That all has nothing to do with LibreELEC ;). As LibreELEC is an OS (Linux based) as well, which ships Kodi.

    Have you checked this dongle on another machine to see it's not broken?

    It's an electrical active device which might get broken if its time has come. So please check on a windows PC if it works there. If yes, plug it back into your RPi and also get us a: dmesg | pastebinit
