00:01 <shibboleth> isn't libreelec single-user? you're already root

00:01 <shibboleth> "reboot" will suffice

11:49 <shibboleth> mein ampfh (pioneer a-a9-j) offers only analog rca/phono and usb inputs. the usb input functions as an external sound card/adapter for the connected device (libreelec)

11:51 <shibboleth> unfortunately, there's some kind of libreelec-specific instability. gonna try to explain:

11:52 <shibboleth> if you're playing come content, let's say a... movie, tv-show, a tv-channel it works great. if you press "stop" between that content and playing a different file it still works great

11:54 <shibboleth> but... if you start playing one file while already playing another there seems to be like a... one if five chance that audio playback will become unstable. at best you'll get a significant reduction in volume and a loud hiss, at worst the... well, worst sounds you've ever heard are gonna start shredding your speakers

11:55 <shibboleth> this only happens when connected to the pi4/libreelec, tried three different pcs (windows, linux), np there

13:48 <LEBot> [slack] <chewitt> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

14:28 <shibboleth> yeah. that seems to be the general consensus :)

14:29 <shibboleth> ok, in case i decide to replace the amp: the pi4 has two hdmi outs. can i mirror or output audio-only on the second hdmi to an amp?

14:30 <shibboleth> so, hdmi video out=hdmi0/1, passthrough audio out:=hdmi 1/2. iirc there's an option to manually select which hdmi to use for audio
