Does it work on libreelec on a ssh session or do I have to do it on a Linux distro with all the development tools installed.

I'm Sorry, I'm not a technician, just an end user.

Then you have a lot to learn - build environment is mostly supported only on Linux PC (x86 64-bit) and build instructions are here: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/development-1/build-basics Note that you must use this sources: GitHub - LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv at 93e40294ead3fc8023389903a3179ecc7ca40b11 These are last ones including A20 support.

I've installed Ubuntu, buid the module inputstream.adaptative, installed on libreelec, AND it seems to be ok, but when I play Disney+ video I only get the Disney logo from the begining, and then only get audio and no video. Any idea?

Does Disney+ use Widevine? If so, note that this is SW decoded and then there is currently issue with it: Latest Widevine 4.10.2252.0 fails to load · Issue #678 · xbmc/inputstream.adaptive · GitHub

Last images can be found here: Index of /images/a20/
They are build from GitHub - LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv at 93e40294ead3fc8023389903a3179ecc7ca40b11

Hello, I installed this image on my banana pi pro, but the PVR client for IPTV is missing there. How can i install it?

All addons needs to be build by yourself. There is no addon repo for old images.

Thanks for the answer, I was afraid of something like that...

I would like try to run LE in old mele A2000 . (A10 SoC)

What/where should I begin to read?

Is there an image ready to be tested?

Regards.

Last attempt at making A10 work was done here: GitHub - jernejsk/LibreELEC.tv at mele

There are no images made from these sources anymore. I don't recall what was wrong, but it wasn't much useful afaik.

First thing is to build image, assess what works and what not and start fixing things. If you're not familiar with Linux and U-Boot (if boot doesn't work), you have a long road ahead.

hi.

Can you advise why hdmi.audio can't initialized?

[ 32.979551] sun4i-hdmi 1c16000.hdmi: Cannot create DMA dma:audio-tx symlink

[ 32.979650] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/platform/soc/http://1c16000.hdmi/SUN4I-HDMI'

I don't remember seeing this issue then, did you change anything? In any case, it seems that either HDMI audio might be initialized 2 times or some component is reusing name, which it shouldn't.

JohnDoe_71Rus · June 21, 2023 at 8:19 PM

as I wrote in this thread before, my last working commit with hdmi audio was 5e44eaf. the next commit successfully built 04373a4 hdmi sound no longer worked. The reason is the same, it is initialized twice. in the 93e4029 logs, the only thing that changed was RTL8812AU (sources from 93e4029 are not available) and added a dump_stack() call; at the beginning devm_snd_soc_register_card ( sound/soc/soc-devres.c ).
there are traces of double initialization in kodi logs
