Trying to boot Pi 4 via composite - Stuck on splash

So found a similar issue posted on LibreELEC forums

add “composite=1” to the kms dtoverlay in config.txt

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-512,composite=1

enable tvout in config-user.txt

enable_tvout=1

set your desired mode in cmdline.txt (on the same line after “quiet”). eg for PAL;

video=Composite-1:720x576@50ie

or for NTSC;

video=Composite-1:720x480@60ie

Played around with this and output does work but playback is still quite bad and even stops completely on a basic 720p VP9 video
