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

  • Thanks for this, it's always nice when some things keep going :)
    Sorry this might be a dumb question but i recently got a Wetek Core (S812) device and was looking into what i can i do with it apart from Kodi

    The question is a bit strange because this box is primarily suitable for media playback, but boxes equipped with this SoC are also popularly used for game emulator purposes. In addition, background services can also be run on it, for example using Docker even under LE.

    However, due to difficulties running the mainline kernel on n200C devices, only the legacy 3.10 kernel is functional at the moment.

    Thanks for the reply, i"m aware of the main purpose of this box but it's outdated
    I tried to explore other options such as emulator or linux etc but no build was found or found to be working to be exact

    I don't mind an old kernel but apart from the original outdated android and libreelec i couldn't get anything to work on it...

  • Question I have a MXQ HD18q box running the latest 9.2.18 patch. I am having issues with it randomly locking up. I have tried a factory reset and it's still locking up. I am wanting to use it as a Airplay 1 receiver for Apple Music to get full lossless audio. I have it connected up with HDMI and Ethernet only. It will boot up and run fine. The CPU will hover around 60-65 degrees C which doesn't seem to hot. I have also tried to stream a movie and it will do that fine. If I leave it alone will will eventually lock up. This was with it sitting idle with only an SSH connection into it. One time I was streaming music to it using airplay and it locked up mid song. Can you think of anything that would cause this or is it time to retire this old thing?

  • Hello, im new here , then sorry when exist simmilar Q . Longtime i use kszaq Krypton as perfect working on my Tanix S905X. Now i some time testing more variants of newer, but all have issues . I hope this Leia is better, but my test with latest .18 release isnt success. Box boot works ok , but as other on some playing manipulaions totaly hangs and cant reboot any way (ssh too) when in lockup state. Only power off hard.

    Is this known issue , hope have some solution? Pls help.

    My plan is upgrade from 17 to 18 with same stability. 17 works still perfect , but PVR sclient is old ...

    Unfortunately, I don't have any Apple stuff, so I've never personally used the Airplay feature. It's a good question whether this could be the cause of the instability issues, or if there's something else going on. (E.g. an unstable addon, a weak power supply, an overheating issue, a dying SD card, etc.)

    A pastekodi output would be nice, maybe it will reveal something...

    The situation is similar to that of the previous colleague, because I have no idea what could be causing it, and based on your description, the circumstances of the error's occurrence are unfortunately not entirely clear.

    "some playing manipulaions" -> What does this mean in this context?

    I would be happy to see a pastekodi output, although if the box really just freezes, I'm not sure the log will reveal anything.

  • I mean locate issue in ISA default konfig. My issue is in TV PVR switching channels and this use plugin managed streams over Input stream adaptive, seems default config have issue. Change to manual 1080 and now no crash. I continue testing.

  • I had re-flashed it with Android which didn't work either. Couldn't get wifi to connect. I have since re-flashed 9.2.8.18 S805 Generic and left it completely stock no additional addons or settings. I even removed the ethernet and only connected it via wifi. So far it's been up for 1.5 hours no issues. Out of the box these builds come with Airplay enabled. If it remains stable I will try and listen to some music on it later on.

  • So I checked the kodi.old.log and I am seeing a BUNCH of these two lines right up until it locked up.

    There must be something that is being transmitted on the network that Kodi doesn't like. I will keep it off the wired network for now and run it wireless only.

  • Additioal info. Still switching some channels abort KODI instead hang now after ISA reconfig to manual.

  • My lockup is definitely related to the Ethernet port. It must not like either the multicast traffic it's receiving or possibly the LLDP it's receiving. It was connected to a Mikrotik CRS125 switch that is broadcasting LLDP on all ports and there is some multicast traffic on there as well. It has been running since yesterday with no issues. At least I finally have a way to stream Apple Music lossless using Airplay 1. Apple in their infinite wisdom downgrades all audio streams to 256Kbps AAC on Airplay 2 but when using Airplay 1 it maintains the Apple Lossless Audio Compression of the stream at just over 1Mbps. There is an audible difference too. This MXQ has a SPDIF output to my Yamaha receiver to maintain digital connection. I just use one of those standard 1/8" to dual RCA cables and use the left (White) RCA cable for the SPDIF connection to my receiver. For what I need the wireless is fine. For the movies on my Jellyfin Server I use my HTPC as it has a GPU that can handle the 4k movies as well as the HD audio codecs like DTS-HD and Dolby True-HD

  • Cant edit then add logs here

    There's a time limit on editing posts to stop human new-user spam-bots posting something innocent (which gets approved) and then editing the post later to embed links to whatever thing/service they're pushing. Pretty standard config for forums.

    That makes sense now as to why I was unable to edit posts earlier. I am now able to as I am no longer considered a "new user"
