thanks Dave, seems a bug of rkmpp.
I can try to fix, but can you please tell me which image are you using in order to rebuild only that one for testing?!
cheers
Sure thing! That would be great!
I am using: LibreELEC-RK322x.arm-9.2-devel-20220106221405-0df0732-rk3228a-mxq4kpro.img.gz
Thanks!
this test build fixed my KODI crushing issue after closing particular types of files
advice please how to get dmesg output when any network connection doesn't work?
Display MoreHi,
after some time I started working on my libreelec-9.2 fork again.
Updates below:
- updated some packages to allow build on more modern systems
- return to working u-boot version
- fix for booting from NAND (tested with my V88Mars clone). Now I'm able to install libreelec directly into the internal memory. (thanks to jock fabiobassa and the guys behind the armbian port)
- fix repository addons
- added Hauppauge WinTV-SoloHD dvb receiver
this time I've built and shared all the images for the boxes in the first post, but keep in mind that I've only one

thanks again to knaerzche for creating this project.
I have an old Mars V88 android box. How do you install to NAND? Is there a benefit using NAND than running Libreelec from micro SD?
Hi ushilives, you can install on NAND in many ways:
- use rkdevelop tool (hard)
- dd from a working libreelec (medium)
- use the great multitool from armbian port (easy)
Installing on NAND should make the boot a bit faster, but the major issue is that in order to update the image you need to upload it manually via ssh (or burn again).
This is because I didn't setup yet an update site for my builds.
p.s.obviusly, if you install libreelec on NAND, you will lost the stock firmware of your box.

OK thanks. For now i will use a micro sd card just in case. Is the builds from 6th Jan this year the best to use?

try it and let me know. I'm planning another build (there is a bug for sure) but I prefer to collect all the wrong things before 
Runs great! HD streams now stop/close quickly without reboot. Thanks for all of your work on this build! It is much appreciated.
Hi shMatrix, to optimize even further, in the next build I've disabled some kernel options used by developers (aka debugfs).
This can improve something, but I don't expect miracles.
My suggestion is to try with another image considering that the one for mxq4kpro is for rk3228a. This soc in teory should have a lower clock for cpu and gpu (see first post for details).
Often these boxes are sold as a model, but internally they may be different.
For example mine is an mxq4k, but the board is identical to the one present in v88 mars
So check in the first post if there is an image that is similar to the one you use(ddr3, same wifi chip, same internal memory etc etc), but suitable for rk3229 / rk3228b and download it from my gdrive.

My device is branded as a MXQ4k as well, but has a RK3229 chip in it. I want to order another one ($37 on Amazon) since with ilmich last update it is running great, but I am afraid I will get something completely different.

I'm also thinking the same thing but it seems that the amlogic models have almost the same price but they are more powerful or maybe I'm wrong
Hi,
last update for my libreelec-9.2 fork:
- fixed rkmpp memory leaks
- small improvements
as usual I've builted all the images.

Hello, I saw this message and I was wondering if you could explain how to install in nand with the DD method.
My device is RK3318 and with the Armbian multitool I can't do it.
With rkdevelop tool I have not tried it yet, but I think it would be easier and more comfortable to do it with DD.
Can you help me? Thank you.

What kind of problem are you having with the Armbian multitool? I just flashed the NAND with this last version on my MXQ Pro using the multi tool... YMMV

Thanks again for your work on this. I flashed it to NAND and it works great. Are you planning a libreelec-10 fork?
Yes. However, I'm not sure that all the things that are working with legacy kernel will work also in mainline kernel (NAND for example).
This is because the legacy kernel is the official one from rockchip, instead, the mainline kernel works thanks to the work of volunteers
