Client Install Problem

[jcjefferies]

Several weeks ago around the time there was a new version of LibreElec I was unable to install the client on a PC and RPi3. The error for both that it could not find any of the dependencies! I tried again last week and was able to install both. I dont know if it is intended but there is no longer a blue background just black. The the new client on the RPi3 had gained 4 extra menu items on the startup menu.

I have just deleted and reinstalled the New Client on both hardware and are running as normal but with the Black background!

I have had to not use my RPi4 with LibreElec 11.0.3 because during startup mode 1366X768X62 is used and  running at 62 HZ frame rate locks up 2 of my TVs. I reported it to LibreElec but none of their work arounds worked! The previous version ran at 60Hz which all my TV can handle!!

Sub changed UI client defaults in 6.1.4 to fast background mode and knewc can't support blending of images. Post release he did return the default to the original mode and I think if you search the forum for recent updates to NShared.dll you will see the normal background. Maybe try this one https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid585014

There were problems with the LE repos at times this summer you likely just had bad luck.

Thanks! The background colour is hardly worth bothering about so will probably leave it black for now!
As I said I was able to do a clean install earlier today!

If the black doesn't bother you, it's probably significantly faster

Maybe not, sometimes because of rendering speed normal background mode is faster than FBM.

Maybe, but not the experience I've noted. It's generally pretty slow compressing that busy blue background image, and results in much bigger images being sent across the network.
