Nightly Builds

  • The current TigerVNC add-on appears to be compiled against X11 libs so I doubt it runs under Generic, and it probably runs into the same zero-copy video pipeline issues that all the Ambilight setups (that depend on copying buffers that can no longer be copied) enounter under GBM/V4L2. If my guess is correct the add-on will need to be dropped when we remove X11.

  • Just curious: LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-13.0-nightly size jumped from 300 to 500 megabytes

    Did something significant change ?

    Have a nice day!

  • Caught me out yesterday. The real issue is users can’t apply an update as their current partition is 512MB, LE says to do a new install with a 1GB system part.

    So requires a backup, reinstall, restore.


    Maybe LE can offer NVidia as a new separate gz package?

  • Maybe LE can offer NVidia as a new separate gz package?

    Nope. If we claim support for nVidia GPUs it needs to work OOB.

    The other option is replacing Generic-Legacy (X11) with an nVidia/GBM image for LE13 to still effect the underlying architectural change but avoid the size-bump for LE13, but we'd want to consolidate for LE14 regardless so it's only delaying the inevitable.

  • Wrong place I'm sure. Running an LE build from todays master. x64. A screenshot is now black, no image capture. Is that a known issue with the new GLES changes?


    BTW: LE 13/Piers is in pretty good shape! Well done to all involved. And thanks!
