[8.0.2e] LibreELEC 8.0 for S905/S905X

  • You horrible person! ( :D kidding)

    Haha, noooooo, that was not meant in a bad way. :D

    It is just safe to say now, that something went wrong along the builds with the TV streaming in 8. :)

    Btw, I tested a PS4 with my beamer and also the box at another TV set. I am very happy, that expensive beamer is not dead, yet. :D


  • Hi
    I have issues with device tree on my MXQ Pro 4K.
    When using gxbb_p200_1G_mxq_pro_4k.dtb sound card is not detected.
    If using gxbb_p200_1G_100M.dtb or gxbb_p200_1G_100M_RealtekWiFi.dtb sound is fine but it wouldn't boot from nand!
    Here is the snippet of dmesg:

    Code

    if you have a Pro 4k, you need the p212 dtb file, not the p200. Double check your version in the About setting in Android or use CPU-Z


  • Interesting.
    How did you feed the videos to the box?
    LAN? NFS or SMB?
    WiFi? NFS or SMB?
    USB?

    The box is connected by ethernet port (Wired connection)
    Used SMB share to transfer the files from my phone (wifi).
    So the files were played locally from the box itself.

    If your box is called MXQ PRO and has 1Gb ethernet port (vs 100Mb in MXQ Pro 4k), then you'l need gxbb_p200_1G_1Gbit_RealtekWiFi.dtb .
    Look at the attached picture. If your box looks the same, then use the aforementioned dtb file for it.

  • how to switch input language on hardware usb keyboard? There is no option to set 2 different languages layouts in libreelec configuration addon as it is in LE x86 version.

    • suspend is so unreliable that it's now disabled

    I have three player. Two players on the CPU at S905, and one player at S905X.
    Here's a little statistic that might help to solve the problem of "Suspend"

    "Suspend" on the two players S905, builds 7.0.3.012c - 7.0.3.012j, and the builds 8.0.0c - 8.0.0f - I works fine, without problems and crashing!

    Then I bought a player on the processor Ѕ905Х, and found an interesting point: On the listed firmware "Suspend" did not work. Or rather - when enabled "Suspend" in the settings, the player not turn on with the remote. When pressing Power on the player lights up blue led, but the image on TV didn't arrive.
    Quite by accident I discovered this feature - if in the LibreElec settings of the network enable a "Wired Network" (cable plug is not required), "Suspend" is starting to work perfectly. Player turns off and when pressing the "Power" - instant turn on.

    The player Ѕ905Х function "Suspend" works perfectly, and without problems - just as well in S905. But if you disable the "Wired Network" - Suspend stops working.

    I hope my experience will help return function "Suspend" the current builds.

    upd. my players:
    S905 - M8S 2G+8G, LAN 100M
    S905 - K1 Plus 1G+8G, LAN 100M (without tuner)
    S905X - X96 1G+8G, LAN 100M

  • Same issue with LiveTV, here's a log

    I tuned into BBC One HD then waited a few seconds then tried to change channel to BBC Two HD, the picture just froze on what was on BBC One HD for about 2 minutes until i press stop. The line "18:32:55.458 T:3400049568 DEBUG: PVRManager - OpenLiveStream - opening live stream on channel 'BBC One HD" is where is starts from
