[7.0.3.012l] LibreELEC 7.0 for S905/S905X

Quote from Asando90

Does anyone no how to fix a issue where playback is zoomed on the top left of the image?
Beelink mxmini iii 2gb 16gb

I just started getting that issue too on the same device and it turned out to be a faulty HDMI cable. Changing the cable fixed it for me.

Hi,

I am trying to compile the 7.0.3.012g, and it is failing :

PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make -j13 amlpkg

And here is the output I get

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating cc1plugin-config.h
config.status: cc1plugin-config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands

Makefile:18 : la recette pour la cible « amlpkg » a échouée
make: *** [amlpkg] Erreur 2

I have the same output if I select Rpi2 project...
Any idea ?
I am trying to compile with Ubuntu 16.10 64bits

7.0.3.012h build is available to download with some minor tweaks and added BCM4335A0/B0 firmware. I'll update OP soon.

Thanks for continue working on 7.x stack!

Honestly I don't understand (well I understand the development cycle, but I'm not agree) why we don't have new stable releases from upstream like Kodi 16.2 or Libreelec 7.1 to fill the gap between new mayor versions. Last stable version from Kodi was from April 2016!.

Hi Kszaq,

I want to update my Bqeel S905X 2G/16Gb to 7.0.3.012h from "g" (LE installed on SD). The device tree looks the same (gxl_p212_2g.dtb 23-Jan-2017 20:21 37913). No changes there?

kszaq one quest: is there any need to use Kodi 17? Are there any advantages like for example video stability and functionality compared to 16.1?
Asking cause I have at times glitches in Live TV on 17 (RC3 though), but I also changed the tuner on tvheadend backend, so I try to localize the problem, that's why I ask.

Quick question, if I want to use the av port (not the HDMI) on my box do I have to stick to android or is that port still useable when I install libreelec to nand. For use on an old CRT monitor

No support for analog out in my builds I'm afraid.

Ok no worries, thanks for the answer.

hello,

Is the S905x box with 5ghz wifi compatible?

Some of them have 5ghz wifi, some even support 802.11AC

and it's working with this build?

Quote from kszaq

Yes. For example WeTek Hub has 802.11ac chip.

thanks

much appreciated for the builds! I have everything working well on 2 s905x mk809iv sticks, only problem is when i watch videos the first second or so of audio is missing then it comes in perfectly in sync etc.. not the worst problem and unnoticeable on videos that dont have immediate sounds. all my vids are watched over network streaming

any ideas?

cheers

Luke

My everyday device is WeTek Hub (gift from WeTek), I also have Odroid C2 (gift from Hardkernel) and T95x - the cheapest S905X device that was available at the time I was buying, but I don't like it for its weak WiFi. I used to have Beelink MiniMX but I broke down some time ago. I also have a few S805 devices - for testing only.

Thanks so much for this information, it's very helpful. I had never considered using an Odroid C2, but if you have good luck with that, I'm going to order one and test.

Do you use the official LibreELEC build for ODroid, or is one of your device trees geared towards the C2 as well (I only ask because I didn't see anything specific in the device tree)?

Do you have any opinion on whether any of the differences in the hardware are better/worse? For example do you suggest the 1GB vs 2GB boxes or the 8GB vs 16GB eMMC's or 100 Mbps versus Gigabit chipsets?

Thank you in advance!
