[8.0.2e] LibreELEC 8.0 for S905/S905X


  • It's not working at all in my case. Even the splash screen is still visible.
    What is the location of your advancedsetting.xml?

    I ssh in and edit it with nano, so the location is /storage/.kodi/userdata/ - if using smb then follow the previous advice. Make sure to use a text editor that uses linux style line endings.

    I think when I disabled splash screen it still displayed until I cleared the cache, after that it no longer displayed.

    It's advancedsettings.xml no advancedsetting.xml and goes in \\IPADDRESS\Userdata

    Make sure its called just advancedsettings.xml and Windows hasn't given it a hidden extension such as .txt.

    Yep, it was the missing letter 's' in advancedsettings.xml :)
    Thank you for your help! :)

  • Nevermind this report. Just realized 3 LE boxes all had a segfault at the same time. Only one is amlogic. I'm investigating it.

  • My issue with the box shutting down was indeed related to cec. I used to have it turned off but apparently it got reenabled by the new Kodi. I turned it off but it still shut down my box. After a reboot it finally turned off cec though, and it's working happily now.

  • Hello,

    I am new to this forum, I have read most of this topic and successfully installed the latest version on my Nexbox A95X with 2G/16GB.

    It is working fine, I have the impression of more smoothness and fluidity in the menus. Thank you Kszaq for your hard work ! :angel:

    I have still one question left to improve more : how to have a bluetooth (from Esynic) keyboard recognised in AZERTY instead of QWERTY ?

    With Android System, there is optional APK that you can install, but I do not know how to manage this with Libreelec....

    Regards,

    Marc

    I hope I posted in right topic.... :blush:

  • I think to try this new beta. I had mysql database on my nas with kodi 16.1 (7.0.3 le)
    It worked, but when i switch to krypton i tried make advancedsettings.xml that worked in 16.1, (and worked with k1 plus build le 8 beta of afl1), i cannot make it.
    Always forget what is the settings for media (content type, etc)
    When i use it without advancedsettings mysql setting, the work the identification, but some reason not work when enable it.

    Has anyone some solution or tipp?

  • I am not sure if these apply to Bluetooth keyboards, but have you tried going to Settings > LibreELEC and changing the settings under Keyboard in the System tab?

  • Hello Kzsaq,

    Do you think it is possible to change the default action (power off) of the power off remote control button ?

    Usually, when I switched on my TV, the first picture I had on the screen was the start menu of Kodi. This is the case with your 7.12 version.
    With the Beta 6, I have a blank screen. If i try to ping my kodi device, it fails. Reason : Kodi has swith off.

    I think that, when I switch off my TV with the remote control, Kodi turns off too...

    So I would like to test if it is possible to change the default action of the remote control to NOT turn off kodi when I shut my TV off ??

    I use the TV remote control (CEC).
    I didn't have any keymaps.xml file.

    Thanks for your answer.

    Regards.

  • Have you tried CEC in peripherals under settings-->System-->Input
    there you can change the settings not to switch off Kodi when powering off TV

    In Kodi v17, the following tags are removed from

    Code
    <network>


    and placed under a new

    Code
    <cache>


    tag. Also,

    Code
    <cachemembuffersize>


    is renamed to

    Code
    <memorysize>


    and

    Code
    <readbufferfactor>


    is renamed to

    Code
    <readfactor>


    .See also: [font]HOW-TO:Modify the cache[/font]<cache>

    I had to edit my xml when I moved to Kodi.. in the Wiki, it breaks it all down (new changes and all)

  • I install on syno nas, but I don't know how can I use with libreelec as client?
    I tried client with libreelec too, but want me money to unlock features, so thank, no.

    any other way to make work mysql database on LE8?

    i control the database on my synology nas.
    I have MyVideos99 MyMusic56 database for Jarvis and MyVideos107 and MyMusic60 for Krypton.
    Both version filled with data's.
    the Krypton version maked by K1Plus with Afl's dvb LE8Beta6 build, and with that I can use it.
    I don't know kszaq's build why can't connect it.
    I use same advancedsetting.xml.
    When advancedsetting.xml there, then no media and the source for media is change automatic to nothing.

    I have 3 boxes running LE builds from kszaq, using a mysql database running on a windows PC. Recently I upgraded from LE7 to LE8 without any problem with mysql. I remember having network problems with some boxes that resulted in empty databases. You can check this post thread-1349-post-9962.html#pid9962.
