    Important notes:

    • These are unofficial, community supported builds so please post all bugs/issues in this forum area only.

    • I'd like to thank johngalt for lots of work on improving Nougat kernel to a very usable state!

    Note on downloads:

    • for Odroid-C2 download image with -C2 suffix
    • for LePotato download image with -LePotato suffix
    • for every other device use image without suffix...
    • ..unless you are experiencing freezing: then use -temp_sensor_disabled version
    • If upgrading from 7.0/8.0 builds remember to update the device tree!

    If you forgot to use a new device tree or used wrong one and your device doesn't boot:

    • don't panic!
    • if booting from SD/USB, simply connect SD/USB to your computer, download a proper device tree, rename it to dtb.img and place on SD/USB
    • if booting from internal:
      1. Boot this build from SD card or USB with correct device tree.
      2. Login over SSH and execute dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dtb bs=256k count=1 then dd if=/flash/dtb.img of=/dev/dtb bs=256k
      3. Power off, remove SD/USB, boot from internal.

    Changelog:

    Known issues and important notes:

    • SAMBA/SMB/Shared folder issues? Read this blog post first
    • Manual updates in LibreELEC Settings don't work
    • Built-in DVB tuners are supported only for "K" series devices and WeTek Play 2. For "K" series I use driver from afl1 with some modifications, please do not report issues with the driver to him! If you want support, please use builds from afl1.
    • 9082xs driver is now included but because it doesn't come with source code, there is absolutely no support for it!
    • 4K support is experimental.
    • 3D and HDR are not supported, i.e. they might work but I don't provide support.
    • CEC might not work when your box has incompatible u-boot or your TV is not that well supported by Amlogic low-level CEC driver.
    • External DVB tuner support is experimental via media_build drivers from CrazyCat69.
  • Please report any regressions from 8.0 builds. I was able to do only some basic testing, things are looking good so far. Detailed reports and PRs welcome.

  • I have a Tanix TX5 Pro 2GB/16GB with 8.0.2e Libreelec and after the 8.1.0 update box does not boot. It stays at Amlogic logo...

  • I think you should carefully read the OP, most importantly a note that you have to update device tree.

  • kszaq, awesome work, thank you! I broke the forced rgb output support with the following commit, and recommend a revert for now: aml/video_dev: updates for nougat: · kszaq/[email protected] · GitHub


    With this reverted, you can set echo 'rgb,8bit' > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/attr in autostart.sh to recreate the force_rgb behavior.


    I also recommend merging PR15 of your LibreELEC.tv repo into libreelec-8.2 so colorspace can get passed if mode is the same.


    Note: for users who want 10 bit output, you may set the following in your autostart.sh:echo '444,10bit' > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/attr

  • Hello Kszaq,


    I have a wetek play to running raybuntu's krypton 64bit kernel 32bit libs.


    How do i upgrade to your build on my WP2?


    I tried to upgrade but i get compatibility error


    Is your build for WP2 full 64bit?


    Thanks!




  • I was testing it just to see if John Galt's Netflix addon would work with this nought build, but it did not work.

  • This is more related to this thread Moonlight Addon Amlogic but when i install the addon with this build i get this

  • I'm still getting samba issues with this build. Now it's saying "operation not permitted" when trying to access samba shares on a Windows machine. I'm just waiting now to see if it will fix itself like it did in previous builds.


    edit1: Still no luck, the error message it's spitting out is:
