Hi,
I am currently testing the 8.90.009 Alpha build on the rock960 board (specifically, the high-end consumer edition with 4 GB RAM). Here is some feedback so far from a few hours of testing:
- The on-board wifi is wonky for me (irrespective of what OS/firmware) so I have to use a wifi stick. With an Anadol AWL150 stick (based on the Ralink RT5370 chipset) I get a kernel hiccup with a lot of numeric output. LE then tries to continue, waits for Samba until it times out and remains frozen at Kodi's splash screen afterwards. A TP-Link TL-WN823N (RTL8192EU chipset) works flawlessly.
- VP8 .webm files are not decoded properly. When playing back using the default PRIME acceleration, most videos (old Youtube rips in this case) show large-scale color errors and freeze after a few moments. Stopping the video gets me back to Kodi's UI normally. Switching acceleration from "direct-to-plane" output mode to EGL fixes the image but does not remedy the freezing. Disabling hardware acceleration entirely makes it even worse, producing a grayish-pink mess with a bit of green blocking. The video thumbnails of .webm files also look like this.
- There are some issues with the LibreELEC settings addon. Occasionally all wifi and bluetooth networks/devices disappear from the lists. In that case trying to leave the addon does not work anymore, although I can still hear the navigation sounds in the background, and if I am lucky the addon closes after 20-30 seconds and I find myself at the home screen. The addon also tends to crash Kodi quite often when trying to enter it, leaving me at the VT with the boot messages. Whether I can still ssh into LE afterwards remains to be tried.
