Many thanks for Afl1' and Kszaq' effort.

slower channel switch ( +1 second), but more stable( no more artifact)
HDMI CEC works.

I opened tuner part of KII pro and I found on tuner Rafael Micro R912.
I tryed LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.1e-IX.img.gz and  LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.1e-I.img.gz.
very well scan and play DVB-C. I have only problems weak signal.

Same issue here as tiagovb with this version

It's not this?:
projects/S905: Kodi: update Nougat-style fractional frame rate patch · kszaq/LibreELEC.tv@06d73ed · GitHub

This fix is not included in 8.0.1e, please look at git tag. It's the only thing you need for correct fractional frame rates, other changes in devel build are audio-related things that I'm testing.

Hi,
I am trying to compile from source :

1. I got the source using :
git clone -b 8.0.1b GitHub - afl1/LibreELEC.tv: 'Just enough OS' for Kodi (btw, is that the right branch to get ?)

2. I build (on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bits) :
PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make image

I get the following error in package "media_build"

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

It seems that patches from "media_build" cant' be applied.
Even if I remove that specific patch, I get the same error with next patch file.

Thanks

Hi,

Can we control the blue LED from K II Pro ?
It's a little bit too bright for my eyes

Some "echo 0 > /sys/.. or /dev/" ?

Thank you!

Hi, my blue LED doesn't work - after 4 months continously work red is ok but blue isnt

Hi guys,

is there still a general problem with suspend mode or is it just my device (KII pro) ?
When I change to suspend mode the device turns off, the red LED shines and after I start it again the LED turns blue but there is no signal and no reaction any more. This would be a nice feature for planned records. Actually the box runs day and night but this can't be the regular way of use.

Media_build has non standard build procedure. There is some kind of caching causing issue to apply patches.
Try to manually clean media_build:
PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm scripts/clean media_build
and then:
PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make image

I already tried that. I even cleaned everything and did a fresh git clone. I have the same problem with branch 7.95.beta6

Looking at the error, there is something strange :

File to patch:

The path in the patch file shouldn't be /media_build/v4l/compat.h. It should be /v4l/compat.h.

So I solved it by manually editing these 2 patch files :

projects/S905/patches/media_build/media_build-fix.patch
projects/S905/patches/media_build/media_build-frame_vector_workaround.patch

Any new of issue that we have with tiagovb?

Hi,

My K II Pro is freezing nearly every time I use it.
This is the screen when the box kills itself, and as you can see on the MUTE symbol from my TV,
there is a really annoying crackling sound, when this screen shows.

There is no SSH access possible, when the box does this.
So no log

I've installed the newest build to NAND/eMMC, but used the dtb from "For KII Pro replace device tree blob (dtb.img) with KII_Pro.zip", because there was no hint which dtb to use with 8.0.1e for KII Pro?
Should I update the DTB somehow?!

Hi,

In all my tests I always installed LibreELEC by creating an Amlogic update package :
PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make amlpkg

It gives me a xxx-update.zip file
Here is how I install it :
- I put this zip file on a SD card
- I boot the box to recovery (toothpick method)
- I get this screen (see attachment)
- I then go to "Update from EXT" and I select the zip file from the SD card

It works but I see that this procedure is not documented in thread-5556.html

So I tried the suggested way, but I can't get a working bootable SD card. Here is what I did :

1. I build everything by using PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make image
2. I found a xxx.img.gz in the target folder
3. I launch Rufus on a PC and select this xxx.img.gz
4. I put the SD card in my K1 Plus (I am using VideoStrong K1 Plus)
5. I use the toothpick method

It doesn't work, I can't boot on the SD card. I see the boot logo and then it enters the recovery menu (same as picture in attachment). I tried that hundred times, no matter what I do, it always enters the recovery menu with the toothpick method and never boots from my SD card

In thread-5556.html , there is a paragraph mentioning that I should put a dtb.img at the root of the SD card :

Quote

Download a device tree as instructed above and rename it to dtb.img. Copy the renamed file to main folder of SD card/USB drive - replace the one that's already there

Is this still true for AFL1 builds ? Can I take them from Index of /s905/device_trees/ ?

Thanks
