[BUG] Final output image overflows by 1 pixel to the right, pixels wrap around to the left of the screen about libreelec.tv HOT 5 CLOSED

The description in the RPi kernel bug report may be a bit misleading and probably was the first test case of the reporter where it showed up.

The problem is that the right-most pixel column wraps around to the left and as this is often blank (eg on text screens) or in uniform background colour it's often not visible when that happens.

Also the issue is a bit random, sometimes display is fine sometimes not (which makes it a bit hard to debug...).

For a while we carried a workaround to mask that issue (it simply avoided any content in the left-most and right-most columns), it wasn't always working but we are currently thinking about adding at back until the underlying problem is fixes as the issue is somewhat distracting (both in menus and when watching movies)

This is a known issue in the RPi4 video driver, see here raspberrypi/linux#3667

Ah, did not realise this was a video driver issue and not libreELEC. Thanks for pointing me to the right place.

As an aside, does this mean Kodi renders video to a quad that goes off screen? Would that not also be an issue with Kodi as this happens with videos

Are there any news regarding a fix for that? Or what's your decision about reintroducing the workaround? I can only second that it is distracting. Just to mention, I see that on the most recent Libreelec nightly for RPi 4.Thank you very much for an update on this. And for sure for your hard work in constantly improving support for RPi 4!
