Post #935

Hy Puschl,
No I didn´t try this, I think this works only for 4k Source Playback??
But I will never get a GUI anymore after update, just the Rainbow Boot Splash, then Blackscreen.... 

the reason you have to do that because you wont get a 4k gui only 1080p its not ready on the Raspberry Pi 4 when using these test build. so i would sugest reading more of the post in this thread and you will understand whats working and whats not workig.

hi all, 
just wanted to ask a quick (possibly stupid) question.
I'm thinking of upgrading to a Pi4 for h265 decode and 4K support.
Would you recommend the 2GB or 4GB version for this?
thanks in advance Smile

2G should be fine for kodi.

thanks for the fast reply.
I was hoping 2GB would be the answer but I thought I would ask in case 4K decoding needed the larger RAM

Re RPi4B-2Gb on LG TV.

It appears from release 0419 HEVC H265 videos do not display, ie it is black.  Audio is OK. H264 works fine.
Release 0417 works fine.

Yep, confirmed - sorry about that. We'll get it looked at.

Edit: It's caused by https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/16237 - need to work out why, and maybe add whatever is missing as the log is heavily spammed with:

There is currently no option to use analog audio output via the headphone jack.   I sometimes used this to listen to music through an older HiFi receiver and turn the TV, using HDMI, off.

The Rpi Master release going back a bit now had an option for concurrent HDMI and Headphone jack Analog audio. This seems to have been lost recently. Any chance this can be optioned?

No. The new builds have moved to using standard linux APIs for audio and video. Previous dual audio was supported as it wasn't too difficult to do using the openmax firmware driver for audio (PiSink).
We now use standard ALSA with an arm side driver.
Dual audio will only reappear if added as a standard kodi feature (which is unlikely).

I think the best you can do is set up a shortcut key to switch.
Possibly the Audio Profiles add-on will help (but I've not used it).
