LibreELEC on xtreamer whizz

jnrdavo · November 5, 2017 at 11:03 PM

Hi Guys,

I did manage to find some threads on the xtreamers, but it went a bit off topic (in regards to copyright etc).

Anyway, I've got one of these devices and it looks like xtreamer has gone down the gurgeller... (surprised?)

I'm wanting to get Kodi on there, so wanting to flash LibreELEC.. I tried for many hours over the weekend (created libre disk, SD, USB), but no luck. I was able to boot to the android loader (it comes with androidtv), but that's about as far as I could get.

Has anybody had any experience with this box (or similar) and able to get libreelec on it? I'd really appreciate any help.

I can put up screen shots etc of what is in the boot screen if that helps anybody who wants to help...

I run Libreelec on Whizz from the company's image. Downloaded while the server was still online. That is Libreelec 7 with Kodi Jarvis and a compile around April 2016 I think. I ve been searching latest version with no luck so far. If you are interest in this version, pm me and I can send you the zip file and instructions

Hi. Could you please share original openelec image with me too.

I run the Whizz with LibreELEC with no issues at all.

Download the LibreELEC USB Creator
Download LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2-8.2.1.1.img.gz
Download the device tree: gxbb_p200_2G_1Gbit.dtb
Make a bootable USB using the USB Creator
Copy the .dtb you downloaded over the one on the USB stick

Now you're ready to boot up:

Unplug the power
Plug USB into the rear usb port
Hold down the small Reset Button on the side of the Whizz
Plug in the power (keep holding reset button)
Once you see the LE 8 logo you can release the button

That's it, your Whizz should now boot into LibreELEC 8 with KODI 17

Thanks for this. I run balbes150 Libreelec with no problems too. But still looking for original Xtreamer's openelec image.

Hi Gothicawakening,

I have problems with my Whizz and would like to upgrade it to LibreELEC 8 with KODI 17, but links don't work anymore.

Can you repost them or send link?

Thanks in advance

Hi Chewitt,

thank you for links. I create USB with USB creator, choosing version "Raspberry Pi 2 and 3".

But then there was no ".dtb" file to replace on USB, like it should be.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure why you created a Raspberry Pi image because you don't have a Raspberry Pi, and you posted looking for the older kszaq images (which moved server) and I've given you updated URLs.
