Good morning!
thank you very much!
DoVi in fact isn't necessary, on my LG OLED HDR10(+) - looks even better to me than DoVi. Btw ... just for interest ... as HDR10 wouldn't be a problem, the dynamic HDR10+ would also be supported, right?
Thank you very much for your advice, you're helping me a lot and saving me from buying an expensive nvidia Shield 
best greets back from Carinthia 
Hi guys,
i searched through different threads regarding hardware advice, but as most of them were from 2022 and earlier or just don't meet my requirements,so i'd like to start a new thread.
Years ago i was a user of openelec, i think libreelec is the successor, right? during the last years the FireTV Sticks 4k and 4k max did the job. But now i need some stuff, which those sticks aren't able to deliver.
What's needed?
HDR, HDR10 - DoVi nice but not necessarily ...
Dolby TrueHD passthrough incl. embedded Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital + incl. embedded Atmos, DTS-HD MA not necessarily
Could Libreelec deliver this? Which hardware advice could you guys give me as of the end of 2023?
Thank you very much in advance , greets from Austria
Thank you very much for clarifying the situation so detailed 
Hi guys
First of all, a great start into the New Year 2018 everyone
Is it possible to update Python version within LibreElec, even if it's not officially supported?
If not, is a Update to Python 3 planned for upcoming releases?
Thank you very much guys
Hi guys
I don't know why and can't really explain how, but after 3-4 Days without any issue and some hours of playback without issues i think i can safely say, that the issue is resolved, at least for me.
Luckily recently i bought a new TV-Rack. Therefore all the cable connections had to be freshly connected.
After that after a while i realized that the flickering didn't appear any more. I wanted to know why.
As i had the issue before on every single Build from 8.01c - 8.01k, the only thing which made sense, was some Cable connection, probably HDMI.
I was pretty sure, i already had tested different cables and Ports long ago and couldn't resolve the problem this way ...
but probably this was a wrong conclusion?
So i tested all the HDMI ports with 2 different cables, once again, with following result:
HDMI 1,2,4 are working fine so far. ONLY HDMI 3 is producing the issue.
It also doesn't matter, if i activate or deactivate automatic display refresh rate adjustment. Everything is fine on HDMi 1,2,4.
I'm especially saying that, because deactivating refresh rate adjustment resolves the issue also on HDMI3
I don't have a clue why ...
It also doesn't matter if RGB or YUV Output --> all fine
HDMI Port 3 is also set up with identical picture and audio settings, as e.g. HDMI 2. Therefore i think i can eliminate potentially wrong TV-Settings.
Another interesting fact is that HDMI 3 only produces the issue in combination with Mini M8S II and Libreelec (or Android, doesn't matter)
My Raspberry Pi 2 with Libreelec (which meanwhile is connected to HDMI3) is running absolutely fine, as ever.
That's weird, isn't it? Does anybody have any thoughts about this ( at least to me ) very strange behavior?
Probably someone else will also able to resolve the issue like that. I hope so ...

The command for forceRGB isCodeecho 1 > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgbYou can type it using SSH while your box is on. If the workaround works fine, you can add it to autostart.sh.
First of all sry for being a little late with feedback.
Thank you very much for the hint. I sent the command to the box using putty, which resulted in a short flickering. So it should have worked, right?
But unfortunately the mentioned flickering issue also wasn't resolved by this procedure ...
Besides this the box also keeps getting hotter and hotter, inbetween 80-85C in idle and about 95C and even higher SoC temperature after a short little load.
So i decided to return the box. Next try will be a Mini M8S II.
Thank you all for your efforts and hints regarding this issue. I'll keep you updated, if the issue also appears on the new Mini M8S II
Greets from Austria and happy easter and nice holidays to all of you 
A combination of both first hints did it for me. Thank you guys.
Deactivating display refresh rate adjustment didn't resolve the problem on Build 8.0.1e.
Build 8.0.1c with activated adjustment (on start/stop) also produced the flickering.
But 8.0.1c combined with completely deactivated refresh rate adjustment seems to resolve it, at least so far.
Unfortunately i'd like to watch content in the refresh rate, it's intended to being watched. Without that setting that won't be possible, right?
As a short-term workaround, please try to force the hdmi output to the RGB colorspace. I use both S905 and S905X with the latest dev version and did not see any problems with the picture. See thread-1129.html for reference.
Thank you
As far as i can see i can force RGB using config.txt on a RasPi ... But how to force it on an AMLogic Device ...
Or did i just miss the right place in the thread?
Or should i just try latest dev build too ...
That appears to be a loss of signal. Since you tried different HDMI cables and HDMI ports, you can try the settings/player/video and set the "Adjust display refresh rate" to "off", and see if that helps.
Thanks for that hint. Unfortunately deactivating the refresh rate adjustment didn't have any consequences. Same as before ...
Nope, that happens on my box too with versions 8.0.1d and 8.0.1e. All fine with 8.0.1c
Really?
I'm not sure on which build i started, but i'll definitely check a fresh <= 8.0.1c install. Thank you.
Meanwhile i also had another theory about the issue.
According to Libreelec Systeminfo, as well as CPU-Z within android and SSH "cputemp" the SoC is heating up to about 80°C (Estuary, idle)
After just about 5 minutes of load (e.g. Kodi Backup procedure) it's even heating up to about 90°C.
Does this sound "normal" ?
Once again thank you guys for your hints
SOLVED (at least for me) - Solution
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi guys
First of all i'd like to thank kszaq and everybody else involved in LibreElec Amlogic Builds.
I've been usually using RPi2 and RPi3, but those builds encouraged me to get an AMLogic Device and try it out
------------------
The issue, i have seems to be pretty common. I found youtube Videos, showing exactly the same issue and also some threads on some forums.
But there weren't any solutions. The only "hint" i found, was that this was a AMLogic Driver issue which they could or should resolve, just AMlogic an no one else would be able to. But anyway i'd like to try it here with an issue report
The flickering appears not just on LiveTV, also content e.g. from media libraries of different TV Channels around here is producing the issue.
Files from local network or external drives haven't been tested so far.
It also doesn't matter, if Wifi or Ethernet connected and doesn't matter if i use TVHeadend HTSP Client oder IPTV Simple to watch the content of my official (paid and not pirated) IPTV provider here in Austria (A1TV).
Another important thing is that i believe the flickering especially appears during fast scenes and / or scenes with a lot of movement.
I'm not sure if this is relevant but i think during quite static scenes playback is always and 100% fine.
The same content, LiveTV and media libraries are playing fine on Raspi2 and Raspi3 running LibreEelec 8.0.1 and connected to the same TV.
I also already tried different HDMI cables and Ports without success.
I'm not sure at the moment what else important i could tell you, so I'll directly go on with my specs, a Video of the issue and the log:
Hardware: Nexbox A95x (S905x) connected by HDMI
TV: LG 55LM620s (2012 model)
Build: Libreelec S905x 8.0.1e (2017-04-08) booted from SD
---------------------------------------------------
Video:
Flickering appears at 1:09 and 2:16 during a Live-TV Channel (TVHeadend HTSP Client)
----------------------------------------------------
Debug Log: Zippyshare.com -
Log got pretty big, because i had to wait for the flickering to appear. The flickering moment should have happened between 11:50 and 11:51.
Thank you very much for all your efforts on those AMLogic Builds for Libreelec. Probably there's also a solution even for this issue.
Thanks in advance and greetings from Austria
Glad to see "zomboided" again, whoever this ominous zomboided1 may have been ...
In order of your moving i also migrated to LE Forums.
So what's to do first? Ah i know ... leave +rep for this great addon
yep, that's all for now 
Greets from Austria ... and as always, thank you very much for your dedication to this project
