[8.2.2.3] LibreELEC 8.2 for S912

I don't know what you made, but excellent work
For now my 4k video shows without any freezes. And colors on TV looks better than before.

It looks like only CEC does not working now, everything else is fine:)

Amlogic Nougat kernel code is now public so I tried to use it for my LE builds but unfortunately it had some ugly bugs and you'd had to update your device trees so I though I can try porting the most important changes to our current kernel.

A result of this is a new build with Frankenstein kernel to test in OP: 8.0.1b. Please report any regressions in video playback that you observe (known bugs are known!). It's always safe to "update" to 8.0.1a if 8.0.1b does not work well for you, you won't loose your data.

Thank you!
VP9 plays well now!

I do not know, what I can say. This version is perfect for me.

DD+ 5.1,7.1 OK
VP9 4K OK

I took for testing complete folder of Antutu test, where are many formats, containers, fps, etc. (mov,rtmb,flv,wmv......2k,4k)

No one file crashed. All played.

Hi,
I test it at GT1 AS912, 2/16gb,
Generally It works, no crash at all,
DD, DD TrueHD, DTS, DTS MA, all decoded fine,
I notice some freezees at large mkv files like WARCRAFT (29GB) with DTS MA. I forgot see the type of file.
CEC does not work

thanks

Hi Folks

Question regarding this experimental release - are the known DTS/Audio-Passthrough issues known from KODI17 solved in this release?
If, i am really consider giving this a try on my AM912...

I found 1 bug in "PVR IPTV Simple Client" addon from Libreelec repository. It doesn't show groups from my m3u playlist file
Are there any ways to install this addon from Kodi repository? I see pvr addons only in Libreelec repository

Bright problems are solved, the picture is more clear and colors looks better.
Excellent work, thanks kszaq

kszaq, what config do you use to build the kernel, meson64_defconfig? Or the one from WeTek Play2?

zap Source code is in my repo, you can see my kernel config there: GitHub - kszaq/LibreELEC.tv at 8.0.1b

Thank you very much!

Have you found any means to watcth the kernel log during booting? I'm trying to build a bootable AMLogic kernel (to replace boot.img in my Android firmware in order to add some features), tried both 3.14 and 4.9, but none would boot to the point I could see something on screen. It locks up shortly after u-Boot displays the logo, and I can't understand what's wrong with it. Searched the board but couldn't find anything like UART pins, only JTAG.

go to settings-> television settings-> general, and turn on "sync channels groups with server" and restart kodi

How you find the UART? Are they subscribed RX,TX? I have a X92, do you have info on that one?

Open your box and examine the PCB, you will see a (most probably) unpopulated 4 pin connector on it.

If you lucky it has some text with the pin functions (GND, Tx, Rx, 3.3V) if not, usually one is square the others are round shaped.
The Square is the Gnd.

I found this, look at the top left corner.
