[8.0.2e] LibreELEC 8.0 for S905/S905X

On my system ntp settings from LibreElec doesn't work and I use this script:

#!/bin/sh
ping -w 10 -c1 8.8.8.8
ntpd -q -p 0.ru.pool.ntp.org

This script ping server 8.8.8.8 until 1st success packet during 10 seconds. It's enough for my system.

You can change the time from 10 to 60 seconds and perform required action after.

wesk05 If no sampling is enabled, is there anything wrong about having 4:4:4 10bit output for 4:2:0 8bit video?

On Android Amlogic output is YCbCr 4:4:4 for <50Hz and 4:2:0 for 50/59.94/60Hz.

Hi guys, i hope you can help me.

I own a OTTV box with a 905 chip.

I've installed 8.0.1c (2017-04-04) and everyting works good. When i try to install a newer build my partitions a broken and the System wont boot into kodi. Can you tell me what happend and what to do?

minix u1 problems

I have freezes at boot time one out of three (etheir on libreelec logo or kodi logo) with version 8.02a.
I had the same problem with 8.01l cec enabled.

All ok with 8.01k or 8.0l cec turned off.

There is another small problem: libreelec doesn't take time from rtc.
LibreELEC:/sys # dmesg | grep rtc

Try installing the newer image to a micro sd card, with the latest device tree. see if it runs from microsd

I have Minix Neo U1 too and no freezes. Try to reinstall the build or replace the SD card.

Turn on the waiting for network under LibreELEC/Network menu in Settings.

Nothing is OK in either case!

BT.2020 is not passed, but being output as BT.709. The colors are not properly mapped.
HDR10 is not properly converted to SDR.
10-Bit is only being converted to 8-Bit.

Jarvis might look better than Krypton for you, but it is far from how things are supposed to look!

So why do you bother with a dubious HDR capture on a non-HDR display, when there is a perfectly fine Blu-ray out there?
What is the benefit?!

The Blu-ray will be displayed 1:1 as it is supposed to be.
However, nothing in the UHD file is being displayed as it is supposed to be.

You have no idea what are you talking about...

Just compare Planet Earth II BD and Planet Earth II UHD BD rip.

Hello kszaq!

I've been using your images for a while, thank you for developing them. It is actually my first post in this forum.

I have 2 identical MX III S905 2GB mem boxes with Gigabit wired. Recently I've bought an GTX 1060 card for my main PC, which makes available to stream the desktop and/or the games from it to the boxes trough an addon called moonlight.

I have only tried it on LE8 versions, but no luck so far. I attached today's debug kodi.log and some command line outputs from ssh.

When i try to pair with my PC from GUI it shows the confirmation code
When code typed into pc, box throws an error: Failed to pair to server, try again.

Strangely, i can pair them trough commandline. Sadly the stream cannot be started, SDL is not build with video support.

This week i tried to build the image from your git multiple times. I've modified the SDL2 .mk file, enabled video and video-opengles.
I used an up-to-date Ubuntu server 16.04 in Virtualbox, but builds always fail somewhere in media_build.

Is there a magic trick to build you image apart from "PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm tools/download-tool" and "PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make image"?

Thanks in advance

Encountering the same issues trying to get moonlight running on my S905 box.

The pairing seems to be a moonlight bug, but workaround using commandline is good enough (since it's a one time thing).

I managed to get moonlight working on an S805 box since the compilation there seems to already include SDL video support !

kszaq (Great work you are amazing !!!) is there any reason why the S905 builds are missing SDL video support by default ?

kayman1021

Did you manage to compile a version with SDL video support?

Thanks !

You preferring that rip still does not make it right (at least not in any Marshmallow or Nougat Frankenstein build).
Preference ≠ reference.
What is so difficult to understand about that?

But sure, let's agree that I don't know what I'm talking about because I am not judging those build's UHD capability based on a UHD HDR capture on a non-HDR display. I can live with that.

Be patient just a little longer.
The dev team is very close now, but the linked build still has some issues (like no IR remote).

I'm sure we'll have a fully working UHD build soon.

Nexbox a95x (2GB ram, 16GB Nand) Reverted back to 8.0.1.i from 8.0.2.a:

- some videos are missing audio, codec reports AAC 22050hz 'FC' (front channel).

- On working builds Audio Codec reports 2CH L, R.

Note nougat development build works OK, but rolled back as remote not working (despite remote.conf being added), edit - as noted in nougat thread.

Hope this helps. Happy to provide logs if required.

The new image is working great on my generic T95X box. I don't see a darker screen at boot, it just looks normal. I replaced the device tree file with gxl_p212_1g.dtb, stuck the card in the unit, and issued reboot update command from an adb shell, and off it went. Big improvement over Android. Thanks.

The only issue I have is I don't seem to have a mouse cursor when I switch the (stock) remote to mouse mode. Maybe I should try some different skins?

This is good news, then I wait with patience

Hey Everyone, some weird behavior that recently started happening. If I reboot from the power menu no add on is accessible any more. It just freezes up. Plugging out the power cable and plugging back in works fine. I'm on 8.0.2a but this happened in the previous version as well. It's on a minix neo U1. Anyone come across this before? I can get logs if needed.

Cheers (awesome work btw)
