Hey Guys,
The Title Says It All!

Using Card1 On Raspberry Pi 5 Via Composite Output Just Crashes!

Here is the log!:

Please, Can You Fix This?

Holy F*** I actually fixed it. I can't believe I actually cracked it!
So.... yeah, I found a guy here mentioning this tutorial:
#45 (comment)
so, I looked at the directory he mentioned (/dev/dri/) and I noticed there was a "card2"
so I filled this tutorial here:

Hi, I recently bought a pi5 and started to use it with libreelec.

Neither of the libreelec 11 (nightly for pi5) and libreelec 12 (also nightly) worked with this addon.

But I managed to make it work, I followed the answer of this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64312387/rpi4-qt5-qml-drmmodegetresources-failed-error

I updated the file "/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.program.moonlight-qt/resources/bin/launch_moonlight-qt.sh" and added the line:

export QT_QPA_EGLFS_KMS_CONFIG="/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.program.moonlight-qt/resources/bin/eglfs.json"

Then I added a file "/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.program.moonlight-qt/resources/bin/eglfs.json" with content:

{ "device": "/dev/dri/card1" }

And it works. By the way I have no idea of what I'm doing and the cause of the issue. Is the bug from libreelec side or should it be managed by this addon ?

By the way I'm really thankfull for all your work this addon really means a lot to me :)

Best regards

But instead of setting just /dev/dri/card1...
I set it as:

{ "device": "/dev/dri/card2" }
{ "device": "/dev/dri/card1" }

Then I went to the addons resources ./resources/settings.xml
And added this:

<constraints>
                        <options>
                            <option>-</option>
                            <!-- It would be better to populate this list from the system itself: /dev/dri/* -->
                            <option>card0</option>
                            <option>card1</option>
                            <option>card2</option>
                        </options>
                    </constraints>

and Composite-1 here:

<constraints>
                        <options>
                            <option>-</option>
                            <!-- It would be better to populate this list from the system itself: /sys/class/drm/card0-* -->
                            <option>HDMI1</option>
                            <option>HDMI2</option>
                            <option>HDMI3</option>
                            <option>HDMI4</option>
                            <option>HDMI5</option>
                            <option>HDMI6</option>
                            <option>Composite-1</option>
                            <option>DP1</option>
                            <option>DP2</option>
                            <option>DP3</option>
                            <option>DP4</option>
                            <option>DP5</option>
                            <option>DP6</option>
                            <option>eDP1</option>
                            <option>eDP2</option>
                            <option>LVDS1</option>
                            <option>LVDS2</option>
                            <option>VGA1</option>
                            <option>VGA2</option>
                        </options>
                    </constraints>

then lastly added the resolution here:

<constraints>
                        <options>
                            <option>-</option>
                            <option>720x576</option>
                            <option>1280x720</option>
                            <option>1920x1080</option>
                            <option>2560x1440</option>
                            <option>3440x1440</option>
                            <option>3840x2160</option>
                        </options>
                    </constraints>

and rebooted... And BOOM!!... jk it Works Fantastic!

You may want to patch this in a new update.

Hope this helps anyone else with my issue.
