Legacy v9.2 (LTS) builds for Amlogic S805/S8X2, S905/S912 and all WeTek boxes

    It's not uncommon to find Android u-boot firmware that hardcodes the same MAC for all devices, so LE normally (re)creates a new MAC from the CPU serial which is guaranteed to be unique.

    Got it, I’ll always keep that in mind now. It’s the right approach and overall it increases reliability. It’s just that sometimes it can be a bit surprising. That’s the fine line where you have to decide: “fix someone else’s mistakes or let the user fix them on their own — after all, they chose the device themselves.” Either way, everything in LE is very logical.)

    I would like to inform those who sent the smiling reaction under the previous post that the entire LE binary repository has been compiled and all broken packages have been fixed, even the 32-bit nVIDIA drivers are working.

    In addition, makemkv on-the-fly decrypted playback and the JRE zulu Bluray menu work on i386.

    The command "installentware" installed Entware without any issues, and now I’m saving a ton of time by quickly installing all sorts of handy tools.

    I did not know about this feature. This is great, having access to opkg. This image is really useful. The game emulators run well on this kernel. I had been using EmuElec on my 905W box, but will switch over to this

    I have been using your image on my Wetek Hub now for some time and it works great. But I just found out that when I update the library, the new films are not added to the database. I can find them through the file manager, but they do not show on the main page. My first guess is that there is something going wrong with retrieving the data from the movie database. Maybe they have updated their back end.

    Is there a way I can test my hypothesis? And if true how can I fix the problem?

    Unfortunately, the movie database addon has been marked as broken for a very long time in the official Kodi 18 addon repository. However, I don't know if there is a working movie scraper addon for Leia, because I've never used one, and I've never built a movie library.

    EDIT: In the meantime, I tried the python-based TMDB scraper, and it works flawlessly for me. Your guess may be correct with the possible change of the API or some syntax thing on the server side, but unfortunately I probably won't be able to help with that, because I'm not a python expert at all. Moreover, Leia still uses Python2, and subsequent versions use Python3.

    Okay. After looking into the source code of the scraper, retrieving debug info and examining the RegExp entries under GetSearchResults in the tmdb.xml, I found that it should work. Then I found that there was an updated version of the add-on installed in my system. The original version on Leia is 5.1.7 and the update version is 5.3.0. The RegExp of this updated version did not work according to my tests. Leaving me to believe that an automatic update of the add-on was to blame. Removed the corresponding folders under ~/.kodi/addons and rebooted the system. Now the scraper works again. I do needed to update the two dependencies to get the thumbnails downloaded correctly.

    I will also give the python version a try in the future.

    How can I use IPTV with this Build on my wetekplay2 , Simple iptv client is not helping, any other supported addon ?

    A little more information would be needed, because unfortunately this is not enough description to find a solution.

    Quote from Rizwan

    Kindly tell me, what information required ?

    The issue was not the version and the device, that was clear so far: you already described the device -> WP2, and I guessed the version -> maybe it is the latest LTS version I released.

    You should describe the specific problem or send a log, because "not working" is not very informative in itself. "IPTV", as a simple acronym, does not carry any special information: television broadcasting over IP protocol. Nowadays there are so many IPTV protocols as there are stars in the sky.

    Hi, I've recently been looking for an image for my X802 M8 box, which led me here, but unfortunately the servers for the third party files I seem to need are down? Or at least not accessible for me, any help on that?

    According to the ISP under my server, they are currently performing a massive public IPv4 address range change, because the previous IP addresses can no longer be used due to a change of ownership. They promised to fix the problem by the beginning of this week, but it still doesn't work, so unfortunately neither the 3rdParty images nor the LE-AML repository are available until then.

    I would like to ask for a little patience, because although the server is working, unfortunately I can't access it in any way at the moment, so I can't temporarily upload the content there to another server.
