Hi,
Prepare initial Raspberry Pi 4 support means that you know ETA?
Is it possible to be beta tester of early version rpi4?

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B announced - OSMC

Until at least the end of 2020, your Pi 3 will perform better and play back a wider range of content than your Pi 4 This is a new platform and will be part of the Pi roadmap for some time, so we are working on things steadily and taking some considerations in to account. A 64-bit kernel makes sense and reduces update issues with APT and architecture handling. Sam

There will indeed be some internal testing for Pi 4 and I’ll pick a few users familiar with OSMC nearer the time.

Im so looking forward to screensavers again

@sam_nazarko, will you be building system images for the october update?

[k2u3]

Where can I find the Disk Images for the October Release?

They will be released later today.

[sam_nazarko]

They have already been built

I cannot find them in the download section. The osmc installer does also only offer to install 2019.07-1. It would be great, if those images (especially for Vero4K) would be released.

Since the very first release of OSMC, updated images have always been made available at our earliest convenience. Depending on any number of factors, this can be at best within hours of release, but could take up to a couple days. Everyone involved have lives outside of OSMC that often must come first.

Can somebody advise how to access the 21:9 mode in the OSMC skin as I cannot find it?

[Chillbo]

If you set a 21:9 output resolution, the skin will change accordingly. That’s the 21:9 mode.

[sam_nazarko]

Updated images have since been made available on the download page and blog.

Dear Sam,

Unfortunatelly audio passthrough/multichannel audio based on Hifiberry Digi is broken with current kernel. Falling back to previous version helps, details here:

After october update HIFIberry Digi doesn't function

Hi @JanS I am experiencing exactly the same problem with the latest update My logs are here https://paste.osmc.tv/ozukiwowap Let me know if it’s still necessary to install librelec (I hope it’s not ) Fallling back to previous kernel version now… osmc@osmc:~$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall rbp2-image-4.14.78-4-osmc Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Reinstallation of rbp2-image-4.14.78-4-osmc is not possible, it cannot…

same problem here on vero2 (still with latest update and after trying: sudo apt-get install --reinstall vero2-mediacenter-osmc
).

lircd seems to be failing

Sorry – bit confused. What’s the same problem? Are you referring to another post?
Can you please start a new post with logs?

Sam

[bendsch]

yes, sorry - i was referring to this

[sam_nazarko]

That user is on a Raspberry Pi 3 and he is running a nightly build, not the stable release.

Are you sure the issue is the same?

Sam

[bendsch]

when i manually try to start kodi i get a similar error message about lircd (segmentation fault).
on reboot i get sad-smile loop.

so i think this could probably be related.

[sam_nazarko]

The Raspberry Pi and Vero platforms are quite different.

Please start a new forum post with debug logs so we can help
