Had a kodi crash/reboot today playing an 8 bit hevc file on a RP3 with #0320 about 35 min into a 50 min show. Hope this is useful http://ix.io/10Jh

Not a lot in the crash log (a crash log from a debug build may be better).
Is this crash repeatable? Can you play the same part of file again, and does it crash again? 

it played through the part after the auto reboot, and it played the same file without error today.

and my nfs-export file:

Code:

/srv/exports        192.168.16.0/255.255.240.0(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,insecure,no_subtree_check,fsid=0)


Did you mean this to be 192.168.16.0 and not 192.168.18.0?

You might also need to set your tftp-root to be /srv/exports/leboot

Does anyone have a problem with AC3 on LiveTV? No DD5.1 in LiveTV but movies from the NAS no problem.
When I switch to OMXPlayer DD5.1 is fine in LiveTV

Build #0321

Edit: 
I am using passtrough via AV Receiver

There is no passthrough anymore for live streams since v17 IIRC. Reason is, that for live streams there is not enough buffer to handle passthrough well. You have to enable AC3 transcoding if you insist on an AC3 stream being sent to your TV or if you use SPDIF connection. But if you don't need SPIDF, there is no technical reason to require AC3 passthrough for liveTV since sound quality of 5.1 PCM will just be as good/bad.

First, thanks for the answer.

I use neither PCM cable nor SPDIF but HDMI and I believe that it had worked in earlier versions of v18.
I will test an older version.

you'll get 5.1 or 7.1 PCM via your HDMI connection - there is no special cable for that. Only SPDIF is limited to two audio channels and thus requires AC3 or DTS passthrough to get surround sound to the AVR (5.1 audio is encoded onto the two available audio channels of SPIDF). So when your AVR is displaying PCM 5.1 when watching liveTV, all is fine and you won't have any quality loss over any AC3 or DTS passthrough. It doesn't matter if Kodi is decoding AC3 into 5.1 PCM or if it's the AVR that does it - the result will always be the same digital audio signal (unless the AVR is applying custom post processing).
Passthrough was mostly relevant for SPIDF connections, since it was the only way to get "true" surround sound to your AVR (ProLogic just wasn't it). With HDMI connections, passthrough is basically obsolete these days, except for Dolby ATMOS, for which the AVR requires the metadata of the original audio stream to correctly place the audio signals in the virtual space, since the metadata is lost/gone on decoded PCM streams.

thanks for the explanation @da-anda 

I do not quite understand,
my AV Receiver shows stereo on Live TV, but when I use OMXPlayer, he shows Dolby Digital on display, why that?

My AV receiver see signature

Did you mean this to be 192.168.16.0 and not 192.168.18.0?

You might also need to set your

Code:

tftp-root

to be /srv/exports/leboot 

The directory structure is a little bit different but this works (i made pxe boot stuff since years) and the network address includes the next class c networks, because of the netmask:
192.168.16.0/255.255.240.0
so 192.168.18.x for the network devices is correct.

TFTP ist workng well, and all relevant files will be downloaded!

My Directory structure looks like this:
/srv/exports/leboot
is a copy of the bootloader dir from the latest libreelec alpha tar.gz + the renamed KERNEL file (to kernel.img) and the SYSTEM file + the cmdline.txt and config.txt with the (correct) settings

then i create a symlink to the tftp root folder in /srv/exports for bootcode.bin
and an symlink from the /srv/exports/leboot directory to a directory with the serial number (i think, i get this from the tftp log in early tests) of the Raspberry Pi

so
- the Raspberry Pi gets the bootcode.bin via tftp
- looking for the additional files in /srv/exports/29b116bf (this is the symlink dir from /srv/exports/leboot) via tftp
- after about 15sec i got the message that the nfs share can not be mounted
  

Code:

*** Error in mount_flash: mount_common: Could not mount 192.168.18.12:/srv/exports/leboot ***

from another server I'm able to mount this directory!

that's likely because omxplayer still allows for passthrough on live streams, while videoplayer does not. Try setting the number of speakers in System -> Audio settings to the number of your physical speakers (5.1 or 7.1, whatever you have). After that, you should get 5.1 PCM. The limit to 2 speakers for passthrough is only needed for SPDIF connections AFAIK.

[Milhouse]

My Directory structure looks like this:
/srv/exports/leboot

Can you paste the contents of this folder (ie. ls -la /srv/exports/leboot)? Also /srv/exports/29b116bf?

I've tested the latest #0322 build, netbooting an RPi3 and that works as expected, but unfortunately my pre-production RPi3+ doesn't appear to have netboot support so I can't confirm that is working (although, unless there's something wrong with Pi3+ bootcode I'd expect a production board to work, and chances are there's a misconfiguration with your server, eg. all files must be owned by root).

/srv/exports/29b116bf has the same content, because it's a link to /srv/exports/leboot
(I configured a raspi3b about 6 month ago also for pxe network booting and this worked well! but at the moment i have only a 2b and a 3b+ available / i can est it with a 2b and an sd card only with bootcode.bin if this will help?!)

Update:
A Raspi2b with an micro-sd card only with bootcode.bin works out of the box after i created the symlink to the serial number!

Update2:
Can it be a network problem after PXE network boot? because i will not see a dhcp request from the the OS (Linux)! with my raspi2b i see the following:

Code:

the log before is the same.

if I turn on in the audio settings PLL adjustment, then everything appears correctly on the display of AV Receiver. It shows PLII C when 2.0 dolby, Dolby Digital when 5.1 dolby. When I disable PLL adjustment it only shows stereo or "multi channel stereo".

this is the content of /srv/exports/leboot:

OK, got my Pi3+ to network boot once I'd removed the tiny USB memory stick I'd forgotten about - d'oh!

I also get the same mount failure as you - turns out I'd configured the LAN78XX as a module in the kernel, which meant although the bootcode could haul in the kernel, the kernel couldn't bring up the network. Second d'oh. This will be fixed tonight in #0323, so once you update your NFS server with #0323 you should be able to boot. Thanks for reporting it!

Unfortunately this does mean LE 8.2.4 users won't be able to netboot a Pi3+ unless we respin an 8.2.5...

is anything known about failed mp3 playback ? In my case CAudioDecoder can't init codec while loading mp3 file.

 Everything's fine in my case.
MP3 works normally
