Kodi 18 uses a new settings system (version 2) so when rolling back to LE 8.2.1 the Kodi 17 in LE8 will not recognise your version 2 settings and assume they're corrupt and restore default settings. Passthrough will be disabled if you enable sync to display.

@mwake You may always make backup (Settings\LibreELEC), and revert to it after testing stable version, and coming back to testbuilds. It will restore Your settings and plugins.
@Milhouse I think i found the difference between stable and testbuilds for my Broadcom wifi. Here is lspci -v for stable:
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n
    Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
    Memory at f7c00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
    Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
    Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information: Len=78 <?>
    Capabilities: [48] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
    Capabilities: [d0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
    Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
    Capabilities: [13c] Virtual Channel
    Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 00-00-b9-ff-ff-f1-08-ed
    Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?>
    Kernel driver in use: wl
    Kernel modules: wl, bcma

And here testbuilds:
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n
    Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
    Memory at f7c00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
    Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
    Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information: Len=78 <?>
    Capabilities: [48] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
    Capabilities: [d0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
    Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
    Capabilities: [13c] Virtual Channel
    Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 00-00-b9-ff-ff-f1-08-ed
    Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?>
    Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge
    Kernel modules: bcma, wl

Maybe it may help somehow.

Hey there milhouse! Thanks for all the work that goes in to making all these builds!

I'm using the latest build #1208 right now and I have a problem I could not yet figure out:
I  want to use PulseAudio in LibreELEC to play audio via LAN to a different machine. So far (with stable versions) this worked fine when following the guide in the wiki.

With the test builds I have the following problem:
Playback from a remote machine to pulseaudio on LibreELEC works as always.
Playback from LibreELEC to a remote machine's pulseaudio does not work.

As per the LibreELEC wiki, if I run 'pactl list short sinks' I should get a listing of local and remote playback devices. With the latest test build and the one before, I only get the playback devices listed that are local to the LibreELEC machine.

pactl list short sinks
1       alsa_output.pci-0000_00_03.0.hdmi-stereo        module-alsa-card.c      s16le 2ch 44100Hz       SUSPENDED
2       alsa_output.usb-ASUS_Xonar_U7-00.analog-stereo  module-alsa-card.c      s16le 2ch 44100Hz       RUNNING
3       alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.iec958-stereo      module-alsa-card.c      s16le 2ch 44100Hz       SUSPENDED

The machine that I want to redirect the audio to is configured correctly as per the wiki. On my laptop I can set it as default sink and it plays without problems.

Any idea what might be wrong? Is there anything I can test or log output I can generate to get to the bottom of this?

Which VM software are you using, what version of LibreELEC where you using before updating?

I'm trying it on VMware Workstation 14.

I had used the ova available for 8.1.2 which opens and runs perfectly. I then dropped in the latest nightly release from today... It reboots and updates fine, just no text anywhere.

AMD doesn't support VAAPI (yet), which is why if you select it you'll only be using software decoding.

Can you change your virtual hardware version to 12: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1010675

Hi, can you try putting the following two lines in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-broadcom.conf
Code:
blacklist brcmsmac
blacklist bcma
then reboot and see if that helps.

bcma-pci-bridge is the bcma driver, and there are two possible drivers for this hardware (bcma and wl) and it now appears that the bcma driver is being loaded while stable is loading the wl driver. Possibly something changed in the more recent kernel which means drivers are matching/loading in a different order, or it worked with stable more by luck than judgement! Blacklisting bcma might give wl a chance to load instead.

Cool, that worked! I changed the hardware compatibility to Workstation 12 and the fonts are there. I wish I new how to make use of the second link but that's daunting.

Glad it's working again. Smile

The second link is just background info confirming that 12 is now required:

 I done it, and it worked! Smile Thank You for help, it's final moment when for me, everything is working as i planned too Smile Oh, maybe except keypads on remote control, but i read that it is because some wrong signals sent by RC by itself. But everything else is working great.
Thank You for helping me Smile

Yeah, I googled for it and found that AMD doesn't support it as of yet, but there's already something on the horizon.

So far I wasn't able to do some tests on my issue, being sick kinda sucks and falling asleep every 30min sucks as well.
But I already made a little plan on where to start testing.
Will report when I'm better and can start testing.

Hi Milhouse,

I have an Intel NUC NUC5i5RYH and since build #1211 I have lost sound, in system I have no possibility to change output audio (it's greyed out) and I have lost passthrough settings.

No problem with build #1210
