I'm doing a full rebuild, let's see if that fixes it. It does run fine on my NUC.

**escalade** · February 12, 2018 at 9:58 AM

New build uploaded with kernel 4.14.18 and Mesa 18.0.0-rc4. There's now Spectre V1 mitigation (in addition to V2/meltdown).

I've forked your repo and try to cherry pick usefull stuff and kernel 4.15.2 is up and running so atm I'm updating/optimizing the kernel config file.

You've been updating it too and added

Code

CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/storage/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel/image/initramfs.cpio"

Now I was wondering what's the right path to include this file on my system since this line points to the build directory of the kernel.

Code

CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="external-firmware"

So do I have to change the INITRAMFS to something like this? Because this would point to the build directory in my user directory.

Code

CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="~/libreelec/5schatten/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel/image/initramfs.cpio"

It's a mistake on my part. I've pushed a fix Generic: kernel config fixup · escalade/LibreELEC.tv@dccccde · GitHub

The build system fills in these parts.

Update to LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20180212.img.gz works fine

Does your spotify still work? I can't start it from kodi but it works fine when I start it at the console.

I've compiled two builds that included the recent spotify bash script and the version you've merged before. Both won't start spotify but leave me with a black screen. Putty & "kodifreeze.sh unfreeze" solves this problem but I guess there's something wrong with the script.

LibreELEC.tv/spotify at 5ad807a3c6964bfc7aa3e64e9a950255e07ea25d · escalade/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

Then I tried the pretty old one and this script works fine for me:

LibreELEC.tv/spotify at 3b3c65ef678df24ac036673539ace889994ee9a3 · escalade/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

So as I mentioned I'm no programmer so I need "a little" help to figure out what's wrong

EDIT:

maybe not pretty but this does the trick for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, it runs fine here. "It doesn't work" does not tell me much, logs would be good. The only difference with "muteonly" is Kodi isn't being stopped.

**5schatten** · February 13, 2018 at 12:54 PM

I've reverted the changes, made a new "old" build and well there wasn't much to find in /var/log/spotify.log just one line:

"Sending action: RunScript(/usr/bin/audio-suspend.py)"

So it looks like spotify won't start at all. But when I use the script after adding muteonly I get the following log:

Display Spoiler

Sending action: RunScript(/usr/bin/audio-suspend.py)

/storage/.cache/app.spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-compat.so: no version information available (required by /storage/.cache/app.spotify/spotify)

/proc/self/exe: /usr/lib/libcurl-compat.so: no version information available (required by /proc/self/exe)

(spotify:3656): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_connection_send_message: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed

Sending action: RunScript(/usr/bin/audio-resume.py)

Beside the DBUS stuff thats literally the same output spotify delivers after starting per ssh. So I don't knwo what's wrong, maybe stopping kodi stops also the execution of the script? Your's is working fine as long as I run it from the console but it won't work from kodi menu.

This behavior started after a clean installation on both of my x86 htpcs in mid of december so some weeks after your last changes. Looks like others had the same problem. Is your NUC running fine with a fresh install or did you "just" upgrade everytime? Anyway it's pretty strange.

**escalade** · February 13, 2018 at 1:35 PM

When I say logs I mean the logs from the logshare as described on the first page. You can also retrace the steps from /usr/bin/spotify and run it manually.

Hey mate, I have updated to your AVX2 build LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20180213.tar and i have found that the built-in CIR is no longer working with my Xbox One remote.

I'm running a NUC5i7RYH

Dropping back to LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20180211.tar seems to work fine again.

Logs attached if you are able to check it out, **this board is not letting me upload zip attachments at present, so the full log zip if needed is at:-

Cheers

I removed the spinelplus CIR patch to build 4.16 perhaps that's the cause? I've fixed up the patch and rebuilt, try today's build.

Well, I have run out of ideas on my own so I have returned for some help. I recently purchased the ASROCK J4205 Intel Apollo Lake board. While using your Generic x86_64 build, Dreamcast, PS1, and Mame do not run without the sound popping and slowdown of the game. I have not tried different Mame cores yet, since I have not been able to get either of the other two worked out. I did try all dreamcast and PS1 cores with the same result. Everything runs fine on Lakka on all cores for comparisons sake and I changed no settings whatsoever on the cores in either build. All the older systems seem to run fine after a quick run through. As always, any help is appreciated, and thanks for your work on this.

How to change resolution to 480p? when i open emulationstation it freezes because the resolution is wrong...im using S905W AZW w95 2gb box!

jonbags · log-2018-02-15-08.22.51.zip

Hi mate, still no go with the CIR on build LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20180214.tar unfortunately

**escalade** · February 15, 2018 at 9:16 AM

jonbags

Find out what CIR model you have and point out the missing kernel config, I'll include it.

jasonhelene

You're in the wrong thread, I don't have any AML builds.

Zoltan23

Beats me, perhaps seek help at the RA forums. Could be something related to the audio driver and sound rate? I dunno

jonbags · February 15, 2018 at 10:32 AM

Hi mate, same model as you I believe. Not sure of the kernel config, not my area of expertise sorry.

I'll make do with LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20180211.tar

Cheers for all your work
