Quote from wrxtasy

Try this folder...

Kodi-Krypton-AMLogic (Google Drive)

Thank you ... right now I'll set up and check ...

ps... thanks ... so far everything is fine

MiniMX S905 1/8

gxbb_p200_1G_1Gbit .dtb - it is right ???

It appears that the builds cannot be upgraded by placing the ".img.gz" file in the ".update" folder and rebooting. I get an error about it being S912.arm hardware. I have to do a fresh install each time to the SD card. Can this be looked at please?

Cheers.

was installed LE 8.90.4

I put it in the update folder LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2.4.2-Test2-wetekdvb.tar

and rebooted, everything went well ..

Updates are performed by placing the .tar file in the .update folder. The img.gz files are for burning fresh SD/USB installs.

TEST RELEASE S905 / S905D / S905X / S905W:

The following folder contains a v8.2.4.2-Test2.rar S905 test release.

A special ODROID C2 version (64bit compatible with Official LE) is found:

Requirements if upgrading from a kszaq version:

If something does not quite work, also copy a relevant .dtb file into the Update Folder when doing a .tar update (no need to rename)

Notes:

There are extra Kodi options found in: (read the explanations at bottom of Kodi settings screen)

Settings > System > AMLogic

Settings > Player > Videos > Disable Auto Resolution ...

S905W devices are limited to 4K @ Max 30Hz.

S905W devices also require (for OTA TV viewing) - Deinterlaced (picture) Post Processing to be Disabled in Kodi > System > AMLogic settings

i have a question.

U mean that S912 is better for Anime.

But would I see a difference when I watch 720-1080p Anime on a S905X or S912?

I think the S905X builds are more stable then S912.

Now I really dont know which box I will buy..

Basically the BB2 Pro or TX92 with S912 or a Z69 Pro, TX5 Pro with S905X

I've always used img.gz to update since LE 7. I use the img.gz as it can do both fresh install & update, whereas .tar can only do updates afaik. That way I only need to download one file.

EDIT: Looks like this small glitch has been resolved. There's a new test2 image available now, with a slightly different name, and that image allows updating LE via dropping the img.gz file into the .update folder and rebooting.

Thanks wrxtasy!

just a short question, currently i use 8.2.3.1 from kszaq on internal memory on my S905x devices, can i just upgrade to wrxtasy build, or is this build only running on external memory (SD-Card, USB Drive)?

TIA

I've upgraded mine to this build on internal memory - all ok so far.

However, I'd always recommend using an SD card first - it can save a lot of hassle if things go wrong. Once you're happy then you can run installtointernal later.

thanks guys i will try it internal

if only remote.conf

One small cosmetic bug I've found. When you press 'o' for player codec info etc, the aspect ratio (AR) always shows as 1.78. I remember there being a patch (yes, another one!) on the kszaq 8.x builds to fix this. I think it was called "kodi-99a.02-add-aspect-ratio-detection-for-amcodec-h264.patch", but not 100% sure on that.
