Is the hardware support for Raspberry Pi still out of tree or can I use an upstream build now on my Pi 4?

The rpi4 is working like shit for me atm. Same for you? I used nightly and still twitch and youtube are not working. I even took half an hour to make an api access for youtube to no avail so far. Peertube isnt being updated afaik and I‘m pretty much devastated atm. Twitch freezes the whole system on midroll ads.

It works well enough with the rasbian OS derived from Debian. However pure Debian currently doesn't have all the user space components to take advantage of the video decoder needed to play things smoothly. Currently I have Bookworm installed on the system but I run Kodi out of a docker image: https://github.com/stsquad/dockerfiles/blob/master/distros/raspios-bullseye/Dockerfile

Oh… i should clarify that I‘m using libreelec since the pi is on my tv. I can use it with my ir remote which is nice or with the phone app but twitch freezes the whole system.

Xbian on my 4Gb Pi4 running the 64bit bookworm is wonderful.

Is it plug and play as well or do you have to configure it to run with tv remote control?

Iirc for the tv remote to work all you need to do is make sure your CEC options are correct in settings. I use an app on my phone - easier to type searches in.
