I think the workaround was disabling/enabling developer mode or doing a factory reset.
Either way you need to reinstall Kodi.

Yes, this is the solution, at least has worked for me.
But now, after reinstalled Kodi 21.0 I can't install addons. I obtain always "Installation Failed" for all addons
---- EDIT ----
In Settings/System/Addons "enable unknown surces" and now I can Install addons from repository

It's easy to replicate the HDR Peak Brightness issue- change peak brightness with an external source = night and day difference. 

Kodi Webos - peak brightness = no difference.

I can post pics of the same movie/timestamp re external vs webos kodi if needed.

UPDATE - Ok it gets weirder after more testing.....when playing some files, chaging peak brightness works, and others it has no effect....both HDR and Non-HDR.

As example for HDR (mediinfo details)

Peak Brightness WORKS:

Peak Brightness does NOT work:

Here's another of a Not working mediainfo report:

And here is a NON - HDR example:

Peak Brightness WORKS:

Non-HDR Peak brightness does NOT work

I guess HDR mode Peak Brightness is the most important issue to start with.

Hope the above helps...Thoughts?

The root cause for this is the internal mediaplayer on LG WebOS. At least that has been my finding. I have the same issue on my 77 inch B3. All apps that rely on the internal media player for local content have the same bug. I have tried Plex, Emby etc. Same thing happens. The streaming apps like Netflix, Prime etc do not exhibit this issue because they most likely do not rely on the internal media player. Whether or not this is a PowerVR issue (B-series OLED etc) I do not know. I have logged an incident with LG but do not expect them to provide a fix.

There are other quirks with this TV as well, for example the internal GUI is always rendered at native gamut and fixed brightness. When it detects a video stream it changes to the preset (FMM, ISF day/night etc). I realized this behaviour when I was doing calibrations with Calman Home/Autocal and the internal mediaplayer as source - very unreliable result due to the peak brightness bug. If I used HDMI as source the calibration became better/more consistent. I had to verify with HCFR because I first believed it was an issue with Calman. Anyways, my solution was to keep my shield pro for local media content.

thanks, I use this one already. What bothers me though is that it only deletes dump files when starting Kodi. It would be much more useful if it could delete it when exiting, or if there would be the possibility to completely disable them.
This way the dump files take space completely until I restart Kodi OR I delete them manually after exit. And as I am not using Kodi all the time it bothers me that space for these making it impossible to update / install apps.

The other way would be sufficient if I could install Kodi to an USB for example but I suppose it is not possible through dev manager without rooting the device.

In /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d place a file (doesnt matter what name, just leave it without suffix) containing sysctl kernel.core_pattern=/dev/null

Edit: ah sorry. you are not rooted. this will not work without root (there is new method https://www.webosbrew.org/rooting/#faultmanager)

Can confirm adding the file disables the folder creation on my C9, thanks for posting.

Thanks so much for this, Kodi on my C9 is now at the point that I have retired my 4k Firestick thanks to this ipk. It has completely solved my audio sync issues.

Good morning,
 job well done! I have a problem with the version org.xbmc.kodi_20250123-f638040b-master_arm.ipk

I'm glad that the blinking menu and subtitles have been fixed, but it doesn't play DolbyVision yet (black screen, only sound), and the SAMBA anonymous share does not work, it calls out the password endlessly. TV chipset alpha8.
Thank you again.

[FredLG]

Good morning,
in version " org.xbmc.kodi_20250124-2df5fd92-master_arm.ipk"
I don't see any changes from the previous one.
SAMBA anonymous share still doesn't work, and DolbyVision support doesn't work.
To be sure, I downloaded version 21 and SAMB works correctly.But it doesn't display the image in Ultra HD, only 1080.
Thank you for the good work, and I'm waiting for corrections in the next versions.

Hi, could we distribute ARM Kodi in Flatpak, webOS-compatible including?
I have custom webOS builds in mind, e.g. for RPi, where we can hack it to enable Flatpak support, if it's not enabled out-of-the-box for some reason.

Thank you.

Will your fix be included in official release. Do you plan to create PR?

It's not that simple because is more a hack than a fix. Does it work for everyone? For which TV model and webOS version? Could it be added as a setting or advanced setting?

Hi all.
I'm also looking forward to version 21.2 ;O)

While we wait in anticipation, has anyone figured out how to disable "seek function" on scroll on the magic remote.
At least on first scroll...to bring up the long menu!

Its driving me crazy.

If in FullscreenVideo - and you need the menu, you typical scroll a bit with the remote to get the menu up.
But this courses a seek + or - witch is very inconvenient.
If playing online content you often crash the feed, or mess up the audio sync etc.

Only other option is to sit at wave the remote for 5 sec to wake up the menu.

How is this disabled. I have tried to edit the keymaps

Its seems to be related to mouse, because if i disable mouse input in system settings, the scroll is disabled.


I have deleted all unnecessary key-maps in
*/system/keymaps

And done an edit in */system/keymaps/mouise.xml

Code:


<FullscreenVideo>
<mouse>
<rightclick>Info</rightclick>
<wheelup>Seek(0)</wheelup>
<wheeldown>Seek(0)</wheeldown>
</mouse>
</FullscreenVideo>


and removed this in */system/keymaps/remote.xml

Code:


<FullscreenVideo>
      <up>ChapterOrBigStepForward</up>
      <down>ChapterOrBigStepBack</down>
</FullscreenVideo>


Nothing works

I'm not sure its a Kodi keymaps problem, it seems more like a webOS issue where the scroll directly interacts with the player.
But in Netflix etc, a scroll will not course a seek forward.

How is this problem fixed, and can it be fixed permanently in the next release somehow?

Same problem. Very annoying

Hi, does anyone have a similar problem as me? Sometimes my kodi hangs when streaming, for example, larger files. The application is stuck. After pressing the home button, the TV gets to the basic menu, but kodi can no longer be launched. Nothing happens after pressing the stitches. Interestingly, any other video on my TV will stop working, such as YouTube or iptv. It will help to turn off and on the TV. Do you know how I would be able to just reboot the TV in software so that I don't have to disconnect it every time Hi, does anyone have a similar problem as me?
