LE 9.0.x with dm-crypt and ext4 encryption

**sky42** · September 16, 2018 at 10:53 AM

download link http://sky42.libreelec.tv/release/9.0/

If you dont use any of the encryption additions i made, then my images have no benefit for you and you should use the official build.

or use Custom Update Channel in LE settings

- set Automatic Updates manual

- enable Show Custom Channels

- change Custom Channel 2 to http://sky42.libreelec.tv/.9/ or for all channels http://sky42.libreelec.tv/

- choose the Update Channel LibreELEC-9.x-sky42-1.x

- and now use Available Versions and choose

What was changes in my version

- /flash 1024MB

- ~~show Builder Name in Kodi Sytem Info an LE Settings~~ now part of LE

- enable kernel config for ext4 filesystem encryption (only Genereic, RPi, Rockchip) since #180928

- enable kernel config for more crypto modules

- enable kernel config enable more hardware crypto acceleration

- enable kernel config for dm-crypt

- added fscryptctl, cryptsetup and dependency lvm2-minimal

- curl: enable protocol support for scp, sftp, smb, smbs

- some S905/S912 patches i find are needed

If you have any problems please install offcial LibreELEC version on which my build is based on and test again. If the problem is the same it is most likely not my build.

Tried it on my Z8350 Hibox and it works well.

Very snappy in operation.

i got it finally working on Odroid c2. How do i apply patches ? is it necessary to apply them on a fresh install ?

plikmuny · September 16, 2018 at 11:08 PM

i have trouble installing addons. It fails to connect to repository

You dont need to install any patches. When you have problems please install LibreELEC version on which my build is based on and check if the problem is also there.

release: 8.90.004-1.0-#180909

- based on LibreELEC (Leia) v8.90.004 ALPHA – LibreELEC

release: 8.90.005-1.0-#180915

- based on LibreELEC (Leia) v8.90.005 ALPHA – LibreELEC

- clean build

plikmuny · September 17, 2018 at 7:12 AM

Leia is in beta stage. But your build is still based on alpha ?

**chewitt** · September 17, 2018 at 7:42 AM Official Post

Kodi is one of 380+ code components that are combined to make a LibreELEC image. Kodi is in Beta. LE is still working through a long list of items that need to be nailed down before we move the collective whole to a Beta state.

**sky42** · September 17, 2018 at 7:47 PM

release: 8.90.005-1.0-#180917 (only Generic RPi RPi2 Slice Slice3)

- based on LibreELEC (Leia) v8.90.005 ALPHA – LibreELEC

- added EXT4 filesystem encryption in the kernel config (not yet tested)

but only for Project Generic and RPi, because it needs kernel 4.1 or later

plikmuny · September 18, 2018 at 10:58 PM

hi sky42, is your build really has the advantage over coreelec and openelec in terms of video processing because of hw acceleration? Or it's just a spec difference or is it something else ?

**sky42** · September 19, 2018 at 4:57 AM

Something else: It is just more hw accel for encryption and decryption not video. Generic benefit the most with 6-8 times faster AES for e.g. disc encryption.
