I’m having an issue with tvh client running on rpi4 and osmc build Aug 2021 (fresh install on sdcard).
The problem is in preview (smaller video in channel list). Once I select a channel video is “flickering” like the refresh rate is wrong (like when you record the monitor with camera, horizontal lines, like it’s flashing). If I switch to full screen there is no issue and everything is working fine.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
I’ve tried enabling half / double refresh rates, changing UI resolution and things like that with no luck. If you need video as a proof or logs let me know.
The PI is connected directly to LG CX.
Sorry for my late response.
You can find the log here
It’s debug log from clean boot.
The first channel that I’ve tried after boot did not display any image with the debug enabled, but the second one did.
Also, some more info:
skin: confluence
audio: passthrough (Q900A)
connections: pi is connected to CX, soundbar uses eARC
CX firmware is the latest version available
I’ve tried connecting the pi to soundbar but then I get black screen every few seconds.
What I mean by “smaller video in channel list” is once you open the channel list and have switch to full screen disabled it will start the playback on the top right.
Can’t think of anything else useful to add. If you need any more info just let me know and I’ll provide them.
If I disable PRIME render - all is good
If I enable PRIME, (either with HW accel or without and either with only allow accel for HEVC ) - not good
If I enable PRIME and set render method to EGL - all is good
settings - player - adjust display refresh rate - on start / stop
settings - system - refresh rate 60
But with EGL UHD is not working for me

Here is the new log. here
Done today (enable debug, reboot two times then did the test).
If PRIME is disabled or if EGL is selected it’s working
I had to remove lines regarding epg and channels due to pastebin size limitations for non-registered users, sorry about that.
If needed, I can try and use osmc log uploader next time if these logs are not good.
Sorry, but we normally expect a log set uploaded to the special servers and by this you don’t have to manipulate the logs. Here again the instructions hwo to collect the data we expect in case this is not known:
To get a better understanding of the problem you are experiencing we need more information from you. The best way to get this information is for you to upload logs that demonstrate your problem. You can learn more about how to submit a useful support request here.
Depending on the used skin you have to set the settings-level to standard or higher, in summary:
enable debug logging at settings->system->logging
reboot the OSMC device twice(!)
reproduce the issue
upload the log set (all configs and logs!) either using the Log Uploader method within the My OSMC menu in the GUI or the ssh method invoking command grab-logs -A
publish the provided URL from the log set upload, here
Thanks for your understanding. We hope that we can help you get up and running again shortly.
I’ve updated to the latest stable and the issue is still present. I’ve also noticed that once you go to full screen and hit back button to show the channels, the video is not scaled down to fit the smaller frame, it’s cropped.
