The AMLGX "box" image on Index of / is pre-Alpha LE10, but there is no newer 9.x release - we abandoned Amlogic legacy kernels and have devoted out time/attention to moving off old garbage code to the mainline Linux kernel.

This would be the right one for wetek play 2?
LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-10.0-nightly-20210305-05575a6-box.img.gz
Whats the Difference to:

The .img.gz file is for writing to SD card. The .tar file is for updating an existing (LE10, not 9.x) install. Otherwise they're the same. You might prefer the images I have here Index of /testing/ which have changes to ffmpeg that allow seeking in H264 (not perfect, but an improvement on the nightlies). In either image you need to set Kodi to "fixed" 44.1KHz "Analogue" output to get multi-channel audio without glitches in the audio. These images are still experimental..

Will be there easier Options to Upgrade/Install your Image?
I think i have to install it like here? RE: Wetek play 2 build
backup emmc, format emmc, play with uart cable and so on?!

Running the "box" image from SD card is easiest, the -wetek-play2 image is the one that needs emmc wipe etc. and that is not trivial or recommended for most users. Update is simple; drop file in /storage/.update and reboot. If you track my private test images you should pay attention to file dates not the numbers.

you mean this Box Image? LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-10.0-nightly-20210307-7932f3f-box.img.gz
I cant boot this in my play2, the box is booting android when i flash this in my SD, like with your test Builds.
No Problems with booting CoreELEC-Amlogic.arm-9.2.6-Generic.img.gz and WeTek Play 2 – LibreELEC
What would you recommend for IPTV on this Box?
Update LE902 or CE 926 to LE10 via tar wouldn't work?

Did you set the dtb name to use in uEnv.ini? - without that the box doesn't know what dtb to use.
NB: There is no path between legacy LE or CE releases and the LE10 codebase due to the different <evereything> and Python3 changes in Kodi - it's just not even remotely sensible to attempt supporting in-place upgrades. You can always backup and restore Kodi once booted.
-
No, i used the old way with copying dtb to root and rename. Now it works with the ini and the box nightly.
The Update path was only to simplify the Installation of LE10, not because that i have Data on LE9 i want so save and restore in LE10.
Should i try your LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-9.95.1.tar (put it in the Update Folder) or stay at LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-10.0-nightly-20210307-7932f3f-box.img.gz better? Are there any Big differences?

You'll find my image is more usable due to the ffmpeg changes (seeking mostly works). It's all far from perfect. Note the 44.1Khz audio config tip.
-
yes, saw your audio tip and found how to set this. Thank you so far.
