[8.2.3.1] LibreELEC 8.2 for S905/S905X

Quote from kszaq

If you are asking about TVH 4.3 I don't think I want to push a development version to virtually all TVHeadend users on my builds.

A ZIP file of 4.3 would be great! I remember afl1 making TVH ZIPs every week, but he's now concentrated upon 8.90.9

There is a problem with Wifi connection in last version with Beelink Mini M8S II with 2GB/8GB.

After some time there is error: Network is unreachable.

And from now on I can't connect again to Wifi.

Can this be fixed?

I tested with new image and there is same problem, last working image is with number: 8.1.8

More about issue:

I connect to Wifi, next I try to play some movie from my NAS.

after 5-10 minutes network is auto dissconected and from now on I can't connect it again.

I need to turn off Wifi and turn on it again to connect.

Is this possible to fix or I just need to use older builds?

I can also confirm that 8.2.1.2 is the first version since the 8.0.1‘s (?) where the RGB fix works.

THANK YOU!

How to configure this?

Mine is still 16-235

Quote from kszaq

I can only tell that you need to have a proper dtb configuration (like here: arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic: modify audio_pin1 and usb parameters for… · kszaq/linux-amlogic-le@15d3c8e · GitHub) and a working audio driver. I'm not sure whether SPDIF works with mainline kernel.

okay so more of a dts problem, good.

by "working audio driver" you mean the correct kernel config (assuming the sources are also there), right ?

# Audio Interface

#

CONFIG_AMAUDIO=y

# Amlogic Audio Interface V2

#

# CONFIG_AMAUDIO2 is not set <- what's that one ?

Put the line

echo 1 > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb

in storage/.config/autostart.sh and reboot.

4.3 (client) is for Leia builds only (thanks Nofan Tasi); not sure which 4.3 is compatible up to Krypton but I ran into this problem earlier a couple weeks ago building aarch64 of kszaq's build. I am running the 4.3 server which works fine even with the older client. The big improvements are more server-side than client-side (for the most part.)

Working fine on 8.2.1.2, e.g. this one v9.0.43-637 from GDPR-2 repo

To be exact I copy/paste binary from /service.tvheadend42/bin/tvheadend for updating TVH4.2 to 4.3

Hello

I have tried a 4K HDR H265 sample (LG: Dolby Vision UHD 4K Demo | 4K Media)

The output is perfect, VPR detects YUV 12 bit with HDR metadata and the colours are correct, meaning that everything is ok.

kszaq do you think that something can be done to fix 3D playback with video output set to 4K? Also, I have a curiosity here: the tvheadend server (not frontend plugin) is 64 bit right? Because the mainline linux_media lack of compat_ioctl so it cannot work with 32bit userland on 64 bit kernel

kszaq, in the linux_media there is a guy who was attempting to implement it, I wanted to implement it by myself, but I have so few time now (full time job and two twins...)

I see that Mauro Carvalho approved the patch series, but I see that they have implemented COMPAT specific ioctl, which puzzle me (because it would require the user space app to understand that the kernel is 64bit and call it...)

Can you point me to the compat ioctl patch you have implemented in your kernel tree?

For the 3D: the issue is that when playing 3D movie, libreelec shall switch to 1080p

Bye

That is the point!

But if you check the patchset they have proposed:

+#define COMPAT_FE_SET_PROPERTY    _IOW('o', 82, struct compat_dtv_properties)
+#define COMPAT_FE_GET_PROPERTY    _IOR('o', 83, struct compat_dtv_properties)
+
+static int dvb_frontend_handle_compat_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd,
+                                           unsigned long arg)
+{
+       struct dvb_device *dvbdev = file->private_data;
+       struct dvb_frontend *fe = dvbdev->priv;
+       struct dvb_frontend_private *fepriv = fe->frontend_priv;
+       int i, err = 0;
+
+       if (cmd == COMPAT_FE_SET_PROPERTY) {
+               struct compat_dtv_properties prop, *tvps = NULL;

That is why I am confused....

I could be mistaken but that looks like server not client. I tried building current 4.3 pvr.hts and it will not build with Krypton code.

So I've been trying to read through this thread as I try to get this build working on a C2. The one thing I can't quite determine is if anyone has gotten the bluetooth (specifically Harmony remote) working? I saw a couple references to where it just keeps switching from Yes to No on the Connection screen. Is there a workaround to get the Harmony Elite remote working with C2 on this build? I moved a USB keyboard from my PC into the theater just to get it set up, and I'm loving the build otherwise.

I am not quite sure, since I do not own an Odroid C2, but you might be better off in @Raybuntu 's thread and with the images provided there.

I have my C2 working with a Cambridge v4.0 CSR BT USB dongle and a Xiaomi Mi Box remote. But that was only after adding specific Mi Box remote support to LibreELEC: eventlircd: fix Xiaomi BT remote support · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv@e2b4df7 · GitHub

I suspect a BT Harmony would need to have similar LE mapping mods applied - unless someone has a working example already.

There is a whole Kodi thread about adding such LE - BT remote support:
