S905 builds - general discussion

    Driver for internal tuners is closed source and not available in my kernel tree. You need to obtain and add the driver to kernel source. Unfortunately I can't help on that matter.

    Hi andy5macht and a warm welcome.

    Unfortunately my builds don't work for Odroid-C2.

    You might be able to run LE from USB drive on C2 but you have to have eMMC/SD with bootloader every time: ODROID Forum • View topic - Can C2 Boot from USB Memory stick

    Some hints to do it (not a solution!): burn C2 image from Wrxtasy or an official image to USB drive, change second partition label to e.g. "LIBREELEC_DISK" and modify your boot.ini to boot from USB by loading kernel from USB and change cmdline to BOOT_IMAGE=kernel.img boot=LABEL=LIBREELEC disk=LABEL=LIBREELEC_DISK. You will get further help at Odroid forums for sure. ;)

    Thanks kszaq, I will ask Videostrong for the driver source code. I think it is AVL 6862 for K1 Plus.

    Ok, I got the source code for AVL 6862. It is supposed to work with K1 Plus combo DVB T2+S2.

    kszaq, can I contact you in PM ? I have basic idea on how to integrate it in the kernel tree and I need some help.

    Sorry kszaq, I just realized that you are not reachable by PM. Could you please tell me if the following tree is ok ? There are no Kbuild files in the source code that I received. I just want to make sure that I have received the right stuff.

    That's what I got from them but I haven't been able to make them work, at least not with short testing with users who have the box.

    Oh, I thought you already have a working build for DVB on K1. My mistake, I thought your binary builds already have support for DVB.

    Do you know anyone who already managed to integrate such driver ?

    Not in the latest kernel. For the previous kernel there is a binary (closed-source) driver from VitMod.

    Is it possible to remove the "reboot from nand option" from the power menu? It's just cosmetics, but would be nice to remove it if libreelc is installed on nand.
    I googled for this and found something about customizing this menu, but i can not find the DialogButtonMenu.xml on my libreelec with confluence.

    Slaytanic This would need adding a code to detect whether the box booted from internal memory or external... and I can see no point in removing it when system is booted from internal because you need it anyway: if you have second LE on SD card for testing (e.g. Krypton), you may still want to reboot from internal.

    you're absolutely right. it's just a "cosmetic thing" and i gave some player to non technical frieds and parents and they ask me what this point means, so thats why i wanted to remove.

    Is there anyway to change the boot logo when using 7.0.2.009?

    I know how to change via amlogic customization tool & android ofw but how would I do this after flashing LE?

    Just because I'm such a nice guy....

    Here's are a modified Confluence with the ' Reboot from NAND ' disabled. I have renamed the addon id so it won't interfere the original Confluence.

    Note** You will need to change skins in the Appearance Settings & If you need to transfer your skin settings, then rename the directory before installing the skin mod, or copy your original and rename the directory.

    ' /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/skin.confluence ' to ' /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/skin.confluence-mod' '
