[7.0.3.3d] LibreELEC 7.0 for S805

  • I used (among others) the Jelly fish examples. S805 will play the HEVC files, S905 HEVC and HEVC-10bit

    See Jellyfish Bitrate Test Files

    I'll stop commenting about this as I've created a thread about this issue although it seems that we're stuffed as far as 10 bit H265 playback goes on the S805.

    What's strange though is that the files do play albeit with a few glitches! Maybe they're not, the ones I'm playing, 10 bit files and it's something else?

    It is the same with h.264 10bit files. The hardware decoder can make sense of some of the data (as it is similar in structure to 8bit encodings) and play it, but there will be artifacts when the 10bit encoded data values get interpreted as 8bit encoded: wrong colors, blocking and dropped frames when the decoder fails completely on a frame. This is why I am so happy that this wrong behaiviour has been changed in the latest S905 release so that kodi no longer uses hardware decoding on h.264 10bit files.

  • Thanks kiwi-man, that works perfectly! Now to get the courage to flash the NAND, instead of running from SD card. Many thanks to kszaq and everyone else that worked to make this possible!! You guys are awesome! I will be making a donation this week after I get paid - am beyond broke after an unexpected timing belt failure in my wife and I's only car.....GRRRRR!!


    From what I've managed to understand, flashing to nand only gives very slight improvements over running off sd so if you aren't too keen to flash nand, don't. I haven't so I have dualboot if I require, which I do like to be able to to use Skype on the big screen. Lol

  • I cannot configure HDMI CEC. I have a samsung tv (anynet+), but when I try to find s805 in my tv, I never find it. I have disabled "CEC adapter" in libreelec.

    I try to install a new cec daemon (LibreELEC) but cec doesnt work yet (I have the daemon running).

    It's the first time than I configure CEC and I don't know if I need do any more things. Any suggest?

    Thxs

  • Try a different HDMI cable. Some boxes have broken EDID/physical port detection and they will only work when connected to HDMI 1 directly to your TV (not via AVR).

  • I have installed LE 7.0.2.5 on nand of MXQ S805 1G/8G Black tv box branded "leelbox" produced in mid 2015. It was sluggish with Android 4.4, a whole bunch of softwares together with Kodi.
    Everything works fine now and fast.

    Much thanks to kszaq for the hard work to provide a workable system and also all others who one way or another contributed to this endearvour.

  • Hi all.. its been a while since i have come from openelec port but today i tried LibreELEC-S805.HD18Q.arm-7.0.2.5 nando install on my
    All black mxq board hd180 v1.2 and i can say that IT WORKS PERFECTLY...Shut down led wifi everything is working ..
    Thanks kszaq and team ... :D

  • Same problem with NAND install on HD18Q LE 7.0.2.5 Installation start and device reboot when progress bar is at 1/3. No issues with 7.0.2.4

  • I think some recoveries are incompatible with sha1_check that is used in 7.0.2.5 to check if there is Android or LE/OE installed. I will revert that change for the next release. Some other minor improvements are coming developed during my work on S905 builds. :)
