Kodi 18.0 Update for Slice.

Quote from CvH

LE9.0.2 builds (Kodi18.2) are ready for testing, could you pls test if it starts/works (we are sadly low at slice hw so we can't properly test it)

No problems found on the CM3+ Slice.

Thank you so much.

Actually on LE 9.0.2 I have noticed a "bug": there is a single green LED light on the left side that is on all of the time. LEDs function as expected (like pause, fast forward, etc) but after about one second the green LED comes back on.

Cheers

Hi okichatan,

I have noticed the same sometimes. The only way I have found to 'cure' it, well make it go away for a while, is to removed the power plug from the Slice or the 'wall wart' from the wall. If it does not work first time, power down again and remove power. Seems to work then.

I recall that the Slice folks thought it was a saved state which did not always get reset at power on / reset.

Hopefully that helps you.

regards

Roger

Sadly we had to respin

Hi CvH

Well, good news, the respun version works fine on both my Slices. I confirmed that the sys info screen shows a compile date of 2019-05-05 to verify that the update did happen without issues.

Thanks - on a hunch, I had actually tried that before installing the respin ...and that cured the green LED.

Sadly we had to respin our images due a bug upstream, so pls test again (sry)

Installed respin and it is working OK. Thanks again.

Cheers!

Otherwise we can't move forward for the slice

Hi CvH and HiassofT

Tested on my CM3 Slice.

LEDs seem to work OK

RTC works too. Removed power and internet and it reboots with correct time having been off for a few minutes.

Plays music and video OK too on a very short test.

I will revert to standard build. Ask if you want anything else tested.

Roger

Thanks a lot for testing and I'm glad it's working fine!

We'll add the changes to LE master, LE10 is still very far away but at least we know that we should be good for now

so long,

Hias

For me, too: the testing was OK with everything I tested.

Could you pls test if the 9.1.002 images work well ? Tx !

CvH

tested as requested. 9.1.002 installs and loads OK. Plays music fine, no video to test on this particular Slice. LEDs function correctly in a short test.

If you think it is stable enough to give a longer test, please ask and I will install on my other slice which has screen and kbd attached. I used an HDMI cable and a kbd / mouse. (normally running headless using VNC) for this test.

Have reverted to release version.
