    Thanks kszaq. Actually lsmod reports that the bluetooth module is loaded. SSHed to the wrong box before, but LibreELEC is reporting that no bluetooth adapter is found. Here are the lsmod results if interested:

    BbVS

    And the other results as requested:

  • SEIKT You have AP6212a chip. Unfortunately there is no BT firmware for that chip in Amlogic sources yet. The other issue is that I don't know how to differentiate AP6212 from AP6212a in systemd.

  • Where can I find this universal uboot 0.6 version? Thanks!

    Probably a total noob question, but what the hell: is it possible to use this universal 0.6 version to update Nexbox A95X (1G/8G) since it cannot be powered up via remote due to a problem with uboot?

  • Hi everyone,

    excellent job kszaq.

    I have installed LibreElec on OTT TV BOX (Amlogic S905X) and everything works fine, except from one thing.
    lirc is not working. What I am trying to do is to try and map the remote that it came with. So I am using irrecord in order to record the remote buttons. But it cannot find the ir receiver. (i.e. the is no dev/lirc0).
    Is this a problem of the build or of LibreElec in general? Or have I done something wrong?

    Has anyone solved this problem before?

    Thanks for your help

  • Hi everyone

    first of all, Thanks again kszaq for your great builds!
    I have a weird issue:

    1.My box is Beelink S905 2G/16G Mini MX III
    2. installed version 7.0.2.007 - worked great.
    3. I wanted to upgrade to current version, because of the DVBT drivers update.
    4.installed new version - 7.0.3.12c to USB, working fine.
    5. I cant reach the USB installation through SSH.....so i cant copy the newest version to NAND,,.
    when i tried update through update folder, libreelect crashed and its not working since.....(stuck on beeling splash logo)
    now the only working version is through USB, but as noted, i cant install to internal because i dont have SSH access as i used to for some reason....

    is there any way to reach recovery and wipe everything, or reach USB installation through SSH?
    any suggestions...?

    Thanx......

  • a) SSH is not needed to begin with, create image on microsd card, with the initial libreelec setup, there is an option to select ssh, but it's not needed.

    b) with the box booting to libreelec note the ip. you shouldn't need to touch the router. with the ip address I use coreftp lite, user root password libreelec ssh uses the same user & password.

    If you type \\libreelec in windows explorer, you should see the folders.

    I only use ssh when I want to install to NAND,

    @ bubblegum57 - first thanks for your reply. I managed to run LE on the box from MicroSD, without any problems. kszaq - thanks for your work!!!

    Additional 2 question :
    a) Beelink MINI MXIII II is connected to 8 years old Full HD Sony LCD. Adjust display refresh rate is enable by default and I have problems with 1080i/1080p/4K material. My Tv doesn't show the whole picture if Adjust display refresh rate is enable, see attachment. Is this normal ?

    b) i want to know if my beelink is capable of playing 4:2:2 files. From Samples - Official Kodi Wiki (see MPEG2 4:2:2@High 1080i/29.970 35Mbps ) there is an example file and picture is green pixellated mess. Is there a way to play it properly ? Sound is ok.

    Please set resolution in Android to 1080p 60Hz or 50Hz and try again. Is it OK now?

    Amlogic can't HW decode MPEG2 4:2:2. Only software decoding is available.

    Again this is for a S905 A95X Nexbox 16gb/2gb

  • I'm trying to test a basic patch to support color space conversion for my bt2020 videos so they're watchable (not hdr but hdr tv unfortunately), and haven't been able to boot even current kszaq libreelec-7.0 HEAD builds on my s905x device from sdcard. Kszaq's builds boot flawlessly.

    I don't know what's different between how I'm building for sdcard, and how kszaq does:

    PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make amlpkg

    I then dd the image, copy dtb (gxl_p212_1g.dtb), and try booting. However, on booting the sdcard it is unable to mount LABEL=DISK (unlike kszaq's builds).

    How can I build for sdcard? I do working non-media_build/backports builds for my s805 mxq, but do tar internal updates on it.

  • However, on booting the sdcard it is unable to mount LABEL=DISK (unlike kszaq's builds).

    I believe the partition labels should be LIBREELEC (boot) & LIBREELEC_DISK (storage) ;)
    (Or, perhaps it hasn't changed for the 7.0.3.x builds :s )

    It differs between libreelec 8 and 7: LibreELEC.tv/platform_init at libreelec-8.0-sX05 · kszaq/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub and LibreELEC.tv/platform_init at libreelec-7.0 · kszaq/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

    Edit: I just tested a libreelec-8.0 build from kszaq's repo, and got: Error in mount_storage: mount_common: Could not mount LABEL=LIBREELEC_DISK

    However, kszaq's last libreelec-8.0 build dd'd to a micro sdcard the same way works. So I'm definitely missing something in the build process for micro sd or s905x.

    Update: partition layout from amlpkg .img isn't correct, and the second partition doesn't mount. Using the same structure and just updating the build seems to work.
