Just finished building 8.2.3 with 304.137 nvidia drivers which can be downloaded here:

As always you will need to use the old manual update method:

great idea video works fine, however no way to change the audio output

Only the nvidia driver was changed (no audio seettings). If your using a sound card kodi may load before it has finished initialising so that sound card outputs wont appear in the options. In that case you will have to set a delay to give your card more time to start before kodi loads.

You can quickly test if this is the case by using ssh to restart kodi to see if the other audio outputs appear. If they do appear use something like this:

#!/bin/sh
sleep 10; \

In the autostart.sh file.

Also newer builds are available on this thread:

Mine has the buttons and wifi/bluetooth module too. Perhaps it could be a hiddev issue awiouy mentioned in thread-3356-post-32089.html#pid32089 but I thought this would have also stopped it from working in LibreELEC 7.0 :s
Lcdproc may have been bumped in libreElec 8.0 but the actual dm140 driver hasn't been touched in years. Perhaps awiouy could help more?

Ps. I did compile LibreElec from source. I had to change the package link for LCDproc when I did this as it was no longer working - but I assume it was working fine when 8.01 was first released.

Can you give me some hints or a ready plugin for librelec ?

Sure
You need to enable 2 plugins/addons.

One is the lcdproc addon under the libreElec repository. You need to configure this one and select dm140 as the driver.

The other is the xbmc-lcdproc under the kodi repository.

It should then work. It will create a lcd.xml file in your userdata folder which you will probably like to edit as by default it is setup for a display with 4 rows instead of 2 like the dm140. Here is my edited lcd.xml you can use (just copy it over to your userdata folder using samba):

My dm140 seems to be working fine in v8.0.1 (though I did compile it from source).
I'm using the dm140 that came with the MSI media live barebones unit.

Hi

Thanks you very much, your version resolved my issue with my 7600 GS
What will i do when ther will be new libreelec version ? Could i update from settings or should i only use your versions for this hardware ?

bye

You will need to keep using a modified version as the official branch will update the legacy GPU driver causing it to freeze shortly after boot again (I think a few other people have uploaded modified builds to work with these older cards too).
I will upload any new builds I make to my github releases page - you can probably expect them 3-4 days after a new public release of LibreELEC (well as long as my 8200 is still working that is )

To update to a newer version of my fork you will need to use the old manual update way of dragging and dropping my img.gz file into the update folder:

Hi,..

The nvidia legacy driver was updated in libreELEC v8 and it no longer works with the geforce 7000, 8000, 9000 and 100 series gpus.
You can either download an older version of LibreELEC or download a custom version of LibreELEC with the older nvidia legacy drivers integrated in.
I have compiled 8.0.1 here with the older 304.135 nvidia drivers (I am a 8200 user too

Forward port of latest lcdd has not been commited to master yet. It is here: Forward port of #1496 by awiouy · Pull Request #1502 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

ok - looks like your already on top of it

Hi
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to put this (awiouy - you seem to be the lcdproc guy
The package url for lcdproc in the make file seems to be incorrect now
LibreELEC.tv/package.mk at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

PKG_URL="https://github.com/lcdproc/lcdproc/archive/lcdproc-$PKG_VERSION.tar.gz"
Should be:
PKG_URL="https://github.com/lcdproc/lcdproc/archive/v$PKG_VERSION.tar.gz"

Quote from vinalopo

thank you very much, I tried to place the rule just because without rule it just start flickering and freeze immediately, with the rule it last about 60 seconds before flickering and freeze

is there a different way to force the legacy driver and be able to use libreelec 8.0 or should I just install an old version because my graphic chip is not supported any longer?
thank you again

The legacy driver was updated in the latest version (and it no longer works with the 8100, 8200 and 8300 series).
You will have to compile it with an older legacy driver if you want to use 8.0.

I have a 8200 so am in the same boat - I have uploaded a version of libreElec with the older Nvidia 304.135 legacy driver here if you are interested:
