  • @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.

  • 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.

    New DTB is for new release not old release! It's in the README!!!
