[8.90.6] LibreELEC 9.0 Alpha for S905/S912 devices

Quote from Boulder08

... It seems that optimized Lanczos3 is used...

I'm pretty sure I saw wrxtasy say not to use Lanczos on Amlogic boxes due to processing power required. You may want to check it out (I may be wrong or you can disable to test or someone may comment/confirm)

Hello .. First Time Thanks Very Great Work !!!

I have Install today on K1 Pro ..

and after install to Tvheadend server 4.3 9.0.1.119

But This Tvheadend Version is Not to run or No Enter by Http 0.0.0.0:9981

Please Help me .. (Tvheadend 4.2 9.0.1.114 is Normal)

I want use to Tvheadend 4.3 9.0.1.119 for PVU Channel..

Anyone Help me .. Thanks !!

ps. now Using 9.0.1.118 from last Back UP ..

My box is A5 1GB/16GB and dtb is gxl_p212_1g.dtb, tv is Sony 55XE7005

After LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-devel-20180218093359-r28165-gec88b52.tar update my tv looks like attached photo so i reverted to 8.90.4

ps

after upgrade to 8.90.x file manager lost "copy" and "move" in menu

That "snow" looks like a bad HDMI cable. If for whatever reason the new build uses a higher bandwidth video setting (like RGB or higher chroma) than the previous.

I would like to know where to find the DTB

Using the WinSCP Tool!

Someone can point the way.

erbas There's a device-tree folder in the root of the SD card.

Great The Coolest

I do not use SD card

Friend use in the internal memory of the same

I just want to check if my DTB is up to date GDPR-2

Thanks for the quick response.

@adamg Power Menu Option?

I use LibreElec.8.90.4 on my X92-S912 box.

Can you add to Power Menu the option "Reboot from internal" similar to LibreElec.8.2.2.3?

For now to reboot to Android I use "script.advanced_power_menu-1.0.1" addon.

From that addon if I choose "Reboot to LibreElec" it normally reboots to LibreElec on SD card.

Choosing "Reboot to Android" from the addon, at first nothing happens,

but if I then choose the option "Reboot to LibreElec" - then my box reboots to Android...

Is there another simpler way to reboot to Android?

Tnx for all your work, best regards!

One bug found (I don't know in last build or early builds too)

If I start my box before avr and TV than resolution changes to 1080i 60Hz and I need to change it back to my default 1080p 50Hz

If you need logs, just say and I will collect them a little bit later.

Thank you The Coolest

My question is "How to replace the old version with the one I passed

by the most recent version "

Because I have libreelec on the nand

Would you like to identify the path using WinSCP?

Or another way like SSH with command?

I've used PLEX for KODI the official version since it came out. I find it works with these builds sporadically (8.2 and 8.90). Sometimes videos run well and sometimes very poorly. It sometimes resolves with a reboot and sometimes not. Music is fine but video has problems that include very choppy playback, the audio far ahead of the video making them unwatchable. I also use PleXBMC which works great. With 8.90.3 and 4 (the only versions I've run) PLEX (official) starts, but gets stuck on the boot screen - the PLEX image in the center of the screen and three dots flashing in a window in front of the PLEX logo. It does not continue to load anything, just the three dots. I decided to try PleXBMC with 8.90.3 and 4 and it runs great without the PleXBMC Helper addon.

The problems happen with wireless and ethernet connections - Laptop to Abox KODI box. Using SD.

Just wondering if others have found this issue and if they have been able to resolve it.

Sadly I can confirm, stability wise 8.90.4 is a step back. Sometimes kodi warm reboots, sometimes graphical glichtes in video playback, amazon prime video hardy works with it. Yes, a pre-alpha.

If not wrong, if you drop the correct dtb.img in /update/ folder, while it reboots, the file got copied and replaced with the most recent version. - at least while you upgrade it does work ( if you put the .tar file remote.conf and dtb.img ) there. I think (assume) it should also work like this with only dtb.

Also in first post - its possible to do this by ssh and SD-Card

If you forgot to use a new device tree or used wrong one and your device doesn't boot:

• don't panic!
• if booting from SD/USB, simply connect SD/USB to your computer, download a proper device tree, rename it to dtb.img and place on SD/USB
• if booting from internal:
  1. Boot this build from SD card or USB with correct device tree.
  2. Login over SSH and execute dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dtb bs=256k count=1 then dd if=/flash/dtb.img of=/dev/dtb bs=256k
  3. Power off, remove SD/USB, boot from internal.

Btw, just noticed i cannot use the new DTB (for S905) with old 8.2.3.1 version kzaq, at least here on my KII Pro - if i do this, i loose remote.conf - and tried a tons of settings it was not possible to make remote work.

Has anyone tried upgrading to these builds from kzaq's on the Minix Neo U1? Any issues?
