Spread the love

The developers behind the Libre Embedded Linux Entertainment Center have released version 10.0.1. LibreELEC was created after a large number of developers left OpenELEC due to disagreement and started their own business. This Linux distribution is based on Kodi and can turn a computer into a full-fledged htpc. It can also be installed on a Raspberry Pi or a separate media player. In LibreELEC version 10, the switch to Kodi version 19.1 has been made and that has quite a few snags. An automatic upgrade from version 9.2 to 10 is therefore not possible and it is recommended to make a backup first. The release notes for this release can be found below.

Changes Since 10.0.0

update:

  • update Kodi to 19.3
  • several minor package updates

fixes:

  • profiles are now useable
  • powercycling related fixes for CEC
  • NFS servers are discoverable again
  • ASS subtitles are not properly shown
  • RPi4 lockup of playback/kodi after n plays on repeat
  • RPi4 HDMI screen turns off when sustained high CPU usage
  • RPi4 “no signal” after bringing TV out of standy in 4kp50/60 mode
  • Rpi4 crashes at b64 and b65 playback
  • RPi4 splash is not shown on HDMI0 if HDMI1 is connected

Raspberry PI 0-3

There are no Raspberry Pi 0-3 releases for LE10.0. The RPi graphic drivers are still in progress of a complete rewrite, additionally the current developement is focused on RPi 4.

  • Support for RPi0-1 is dropped, its unlikely to return (lacing horsepower for the new graphic stack)
  • Drivers for RPi2 and 3 are currently not yet feature complete and stable

Raspberry PI 4

The situation for RPi 4 is different. There is a lot that works properly, but keep in mind this is still brand new. Unlikely bugs are still possible. Overall, the current version is properly useable.

working

  • HDMI output up to 4kp30
  • b64 and b65 HW decoding
  • NEW: HDR output (HDR10 and HLG)
  • NEW: HD audio pass-through (Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD)

Known Issues:

  • No deinterlacing with HW video decoders. Possible workaround: disable HW video decoding (“DRM PRIME decoder” in player settings), this works mostly fine for SD content (eg DVDs)
  • 4K50/60 output is supported by the driver, but has some known issues (eg “no signal” when TV is put into standby and back on)
  • 50/60fps b64 HW decoding may need force_turbo=1 or core_freq_min=500 in config.txt to avoid AV-sync-issues/skipping
  • 10/12-bit video output isn’t implemented yet, 10-bit video is displayed in 8 bits
  • Kodi runs in 4096×2160 instead of 3840×2160 on 4k TVs after fresh installation
    Solution: Change resolution in system settings (1920×1080 50 or 60Hz plus setting up whitelist and enabling “Adjust display refresh rate” in player settings is recommended)
  • Hyperion Add-on no longer works
    No solution for now, Hyperion doesn’t support the new graphics driver stack yet
  • The additional DVB drivers are not present.
