Quote from stuartj9

Just put the url in the custom channel. It will download and restart.

Thank You.
LE Settings just saw the option to enable custom channel.

sorry u meen this ? Index of /s905/device_trees/ ?? this is need only for install for updane no

If future Update is released and requires device tree Update for that release, what will we have to do ?
I added the https://qwerin.cz/kodi/s905.php as a Second custom channel without really knowing what this will do.
Is this correct ? or will there be a prompt to choose the correct device tree when choosing a future update that requires a device tree update ?

can we choose what version to update to?

Works fantastic. Thanks a lot!

On which device? Does nothing on my x96 (905X 2/16)

Tried ALL combinations of Updates Manual / Auto
Custom Channel update.php / update.php / updateAll.php / updateAll.php

downgraded to LE 8.0.1e. Reset after reset - nothing

This is only an option to choose a custom channel (url) in Krypton 8.
Not Jarvis 7.
It worked for me on my MiniMx S905 1gb/8gb.
I updated from 8.0.1g to 8.0.1h.
It only Updates to latest Version.
There is no choice to choose an earlier version.

kostaman Doesn't work with my MiniMX S905 2/16 boxes either

I have also tried the s905.php variant but nothing happens at all
I have downgraded boxes to lower 8.0.1 versions but zippo :s

Hmm must be missing some setting, somewhere.

DOH! Didn't have the Update Channel set to 8.0 LOL

ONLY works with Manual updating though, right?

Just about to send you a screenshot of settings i have.
Bingo Update Channel LibreELEC .8.0.
No Idea why LibreELEC . 7.0. is even in there.
I cannot see this custom Channel setting in the Menu using Jarvis 7
Downgrading from 8 to 7 would wipe your settings/addons etc.
No idea about Auto Update.

qwerin - Excellent work
kostaman - Thanks for your help

wish-list: Please Santa, make this work with auto update

great work, it works really nice, only request i have is that it shows all available versions.

Like i update my fathers device sometimes only once a month, so when i want to go to last version i need to install now all versions between them.

Example: i had f installed and first had to install g to be able to install h

I have an addon for updating the firmware from your dropbox account. If anyone is interested I'll post it.

Is the 'Update Notification' setting supposed to work?

To me it only showed the latest. I was on e, when I checked available versions it only showed h and updated to that directly

weird then so maybe it was just a bad luck in my case

qwerin - Fantastic work! Thank you!

I guess not then

Why did you want that? I Have an addon that you can set a notification to tell your family that there is an update for their box??
