[8.2.3.1] LibreELEC 8.2 for S905/S905X

  • blakey

    Thanks for that understand where you are coming from now - just updated the box and it works perfectly.


    Thanks for the prompt and very helpful responses.:)

  • . The tuner worked only on 1 of the 2 ports - the left front one. And I then tried mounting a USB thumb drive into the left back port - without any success.


    Bottom line is that 1 of the 2 USB ports does not seem to function, not to mount a USB drive, nor as a port for USB TV tuner. When I insert a USB drive, the drive light flashes but the drive is not mounted


    I can not help you but have similar results on my Mecool M8S Pro Plus with stock Android 7.1.1 LibreElec was installed along with the files wrxtasy provided. I have no problems using the front USB port but get nothing using the rear usb port.

  • 8.1.9 uploaded and posted in OP. It's another small weekly release with, also including latest improvements from LibreELEC Team.


    The most significant change is a fix for S905D/S905X performance regression that made it slower by 20% (CPU going only up to 1.2GHz instead of 1.5GHz). S905 is not affected.


    I am more busy than usual with "real life" stuff so updates will slow down a bit.

  • kszaq, I wouldn't call a 20% speed gain 'small'. ;)


    Just out of curiosity, was there anything worthwhile in my debug logs regarding my startup issue?

    If it ain't broken: break it, fix it, repeat

  • Is there ever any benefit of flashing newer manufacturer supplied firmwares for TV boxes, then coming back to LE? Do they fix any issues that LE can't? I notice the KI Pro gets the occasional update supplied over @ Mecool KI PRO Hybrid Android TV Box with Amlogic S905D SoC, DVB-T2 & DVB-S2 Tuners Sells for $80. The most recent is date September 5th and I think my box came with one dated some time in Aprril or May.

    If you install libreelec to sd or usb, you can compare the two

    Samsung UE40ES5500 X96 Max+, Fire TV 4K Stick (Bedroom)

    Synology DS920+ Plex Pass

    I was meaning more do the manufacturer updates fix anything in the partitions that the LE install doesn't touch, the under the hood type stuff. Like in the bootloader, etc.

  • Hi.

    Anybody know how to disable NTP for setting the time? A car killed our internet distribution point... 10 days no internet. And without internet, NTP don't work.. and without NTP the box starts at 0:00 and with wrong date.. no big problem you think? It is a Problem.. cause due to this wrong date/time, my epg from TVHeadend Plugin don't work..

    Thx guys..

    If you have a windows machine in your network, I think you can use it as a NTP server ;)

  • Good idea.. but where to change in gui?

    Edit:

    First install NTP service on windows machine

    You can set NTP server IP(windows machine) in network settings(Kodi)
