Thanks for info. There is one more aspect to the story - all those older devices, used for Kodi, mean that no new stuff has been bought. Which means less polution, less carbon dioxide etc. etc. - it is simply greener. Hence, nice to have those old devices supported!

Both the nightlies and chewitt's experimental builds are giving me issues with symbols for libwidevine. Not sure if something changed with libc, this had been working a month or so ago. If need be, I can find time to trace it down to a specific
Quoteerror <general>: AddOnLog: inputstream.adaptive: Initialize: Initialize: Failed to load library: /storage/.kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so: undefined symbol: __aarch64_ldadd4_acq_rel
I ran this script, https://github.com/AsahiLinux/wid…devine_fixup.py which adds some stuff for those symbols, resulting in a working library again.

A couple things to let people know:
(1) To close out the widevine issue, it was related to changes in inputstream adaptive and is already resolved per
(2) I notice, with the latest bump of Kodi in both the nightlies and chewitt's experimental builds, the GUI no longer renders on my Odroid C2. That is due to a bug in Kodi, looks like the following should correct that https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/25981 once it is merged.
(3) Found a minor error being thrown related to the clock:
Codeerror <general>: SETTINGS: execute # Command failed: /sbin/hwclock --systohc --utc 2>/dev/null -

I've pushed an update to the images in my share with that patch added.

chewitt Thanks! That fixed the GUI.

In my AMLGX LE13 S905 box, the subtitles and teletext don't work anymore. Whit LE12 no problem.
-
A quick test, and haven't noticed any issues with the FFmpeg bump.

FWIW I just tried the latest testing img 12.80 on my Minix U9-H and got two errors.

I suspect the file system errors are because of my SD card (Samsung 256GB). I guess this might not be supported by the HW, but unfortunately I do not have other SD card at hand.
Whether these FS problems have caused also the panfrost error I do not know.
The system seemed to boot fine in textmode and ssh and only after I run systemctl start kodi it went south (60th second of dmesg). Kodi did not start complaining about not being able to create /storage/.kodi dir, which was probably related to already borked FS.

Also just tried the lastest testing img on my Minix Neo U9-H. It failed to open Kodi. The screen went black for a second, presumably to load Kodi, but it fails and just returns to the LE splash screen.
Tried to boot with ssh parameter, but I was unable to connect to it. It did not accept the default password "libreelec". Not sure if it was something that was going wrong on my end, but I tried numerous times and even tried copying and pasting it.
Instead then, I booted into textmode. Tried to start ssh with "systemctl start sshd", but that didn't work.
I ran "dmesg | pastebinit" which gave the following log:
https://paste.libreelec.tv/possible-ringtail.log
"journalctl -a | pastebinit" gave the following log:
https://paste.libreelec.tv/alert-eagle.log -
Current images have intentionally dropped a load of "WIP" Linux kernel patches because I've had some long periods of downtime on LE during 2024 and I basically forgot what patches were added for what purpose on what device. I have fuzzy recall a change to SD/emmc speeds is needed for U9-H, but I'll need to poke around in old kernel trees.
NB: I don't think the panfrost error is itself important, it's most likely a casualty of overall OS instability caused by the I/O issues.
FWIW you managed to fix the SD card problem with Samsung "high performance" cards in LE12 testing image already, but at that time I used 32GB card. Now it was failing with 256GB card, so maybe it was fixed for the voltage/clock, but did not work for the capacity being too large?
Anyway I never manage to make LE12 running on my U9-H to my satisfaction (tried only few times), had problems with live TV (TVHeadend) and stuttering.

I've pushed an update which contains some changes to SD/eMMC speeds. Any difference on UH-9 hardware?
Just tried it. Kodi still fails to boot. These are the dmesg and journalctl logs after booting into textmode:
