[8.0.2e] LibreELEC 8.0 for S905/S905X

Can someone help I'm trying to compile kszaq build from source (to try some modifications later) I can only build release by using PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make release this creates a tar file but when i use it to upgrade from kszaq 23rd dec build i end up with a blank screen (i can ssh to box) I i try to build using PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make image it fails at the end with
image: creating part2...
image: creating filesystem on part1...
image: creating bootloader configuration...
image: installing u-boot bootloader...
image: copying files to part1...
image: copying dtb to part1...
image: extracting part2 from image...
image: creating filesystem on part2...
image: populating filesystem on part2...
image: error happen...

Error: [Filesystem error] /tmp/tmp.JEExJmHhPb/part2.ext4 cannot be opened.

Any pointers?

Update: ok there is some bug when building populatefs (i get a 152k binary) built it on ubuntu get only 42k binary - replaced the one in toolchain with one built on ubuntu host (outside of LE build environment) and build no completes successfully.. however after it installs i still get a blank screen. what am i doing wrong? ps my build is a00+ k bigger that kszaqa'

If you get time can you update the mediaportal pvr addon to the latest pls Commits · kodi-pvr/pvr.mediaportal.tvserver · GitHub

I will use updated media_build drivers in my next build from this PR: use media_build for dvb drivers by CvH · Pull Request #1073 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
Would that be enough? I'm asking as I don't use DVB tuners at all.

There is different approach to fix v3. I'll try it and let you know.

I was check with CPU-Z, any other method to check?

I upgraded from 7.x to this with the same dtb file. All is fine for me with ram size.

crazycat has added support for v3 in his repo a few days ago

Quick question please guys, difference running libreelec on Beelink minimxiii (S905) and minimxiii ii (S905X) is that on S905X model Bluetooth is not gonna work ?

correct no bluetooth on mini mx iii with 905x

Great, thank you

kszaq: I'll like to ask about VC-1 fest-stuttering. I have only few VC-1 video. I tested one of my favorite Bluray: Eagles - Farewell tour without any issue, no stuttering. As you can see in following picture, video decoder use hw (am-vc1) and also cpu load is very low.

CGarces Adding /opt and using entware is easier than compiling what I need from the scratch with all dependencies.

Does anybody know how to show dmesg during boot on LibreELEC installed on Android box? I would like to debug issues with random hang on boot, at least would like to see whats happen on console during boot freeze.

Quote from kszaq

Serial console is your friend. You need to disassemble the box.

Too bad, everything works great for me except booting still sometimes on my Minix U1 so I'd like to help if possible figure out why. I've also had two times it's frozen fully and I had to reinstall in order to get it back as it wouldn't boot, just stays at the Minix screen forever. Other than that, great work. Works better than anything android has including SPMC which was close, but still doesn't handle my 4K, DTS, surround audio and other thigns very well.

KSZAQ, do you have a paypal donation, I'd send you a few bucks for your efforts.

kszaq Is that possible to use usb to serial to get boot log (without disassembling the box).
