[8.2.2.3] LibreELEC 8.2 for S912

Quote from Pelican

[quote='yadvb','https://207.154.221.202/thread/?postID=39258#post39258']
I download the image of the link Index of /s912/8.0-alpha-preview2/
I burn it on SDCARD with LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator.Win32

I followed the method
toothpick method: disconnect the power supply, insert card/drive, push reset button and connect the power while holding the button. Wait until LibreELEC logo appears and release the button.

So you used the default dtb.
Try to delete dtb.img from the card.
Try to use another dtb.

Have you read anything we link for you?
3. S912: You need to choose device tree according to your Ethernet port speed and RAM amount.
So you go to 1Gbit_Ethernet folder and choose this: gxm_q200_2g.dtb

Thank you for the new preview!

I tried with the provided 3g dtb and with my dtb but cannot pass the third welcome screen
Also cannot turn on ssh or samba in the previous screen.
I also tried without any dtb (stuck on first screen) and with the default dtb (stuck at boot logo).
So it just doesn't work for me.

Edit: Went back the preview2 and same behavior so the problem is on my side. I changed the android firmware since the last test.

OP updated with 8.0-alpha-preview3. GUI rendering performance is not much better to my eyes. Other issues remain.

What dtb.img file should it download for Tanix Tx8 S912 2g RAM 32g Rom. please

Sorry I thought all S912 has gigabit ethernet...
The default dtb contains gxm_q201_2g.dtb (among others)
But you can try the 100mbit folder there is gxm_q201_2g.dtb

Kodi has random crash using Alfawise S92

From here Index of /s912/device_trees/ you choose what ethernet you have, in your case it seems to be 1Gbit .

from that you select the one that has your ram, ie 2GB

That would be the device tree you need.

yadvb is this your box - "Tanix TX8 Android 6.0 Marshmallow Amlogic S912 TV BOX 2G/32G 802.11ac WIFI Bluetooth KODI 1000M LAN"?

Try downloading this dtb.img, rename the file "gxm_q200_2g.dtb" to "dtb.img", and copy to sd card ( overwrite the file in there) after you install libreelec on sd card.

Thank you, it works very well some crash

Early days on this, but good progress given the lack of drivers. Thanks, kszaq.

Apart from the crashing thing, GUI performance is excellent now.

Still can't access my NAS's shared folder through CIFS/SMB. All the settings are right at both ends. Works fine on other LibreElec boxes. Error Code 2. Any clues?

You are welcome! "Some crash" it's a minor problem for libreelec on S912 Soc. Until last week there was no hope to use LE on S912 "space ships".
So, be glad that something works! Buy kszaq a coffee and maybe in a few months you will get better and stable builds!

Tried "alpha-preview3" on a BB2 pro(3gb DDR4) and after minimum testing;

-remote works
-WiFi works
-interface is fast with minimal graphical glitch
-only crashed when trying to reboot/power down from Kodi interface

Great work kszaq

Kodi Youtube plugin working too slowly

Could you help what is wrong?
I use tree file version for 3GB
On X92 box I receive an error during installation:
