    Just for the sake of it try to format the SD card before you write a new image to it. Use gparted, delete the partitions, create a new partition table and format it to fat32.

    I've seen similar issues like this before and suggested sdcard formatter to people and it usually fixed the problem.
    SD Card Formatter - SD Association


    I tested the build you've posted and it works fine on my side.

    I only have Linux and i tried with gparted and fdisk, still the same results, even gparted says the 2nd partiotion is unknown...
    I think the problem is not with the sdcard itself but with the writing of the img, is there any other way to write it apart from DD?

    Yes, I could mount the second partition - use "sudo apt-get install kpartx" on Ubuntu to install kpartx:


    Yes, that is strange, but I can't think of anything obvious that has changed that would cause this.


    Not familiar with the Wetek system so can't advise here.

    I ran the same commands you did and got the same results and numbers just now...
    Any chance i might be doing the writing wrong?

    Code
    sudo dd if=LibreELEC-WeTek_Core.arm-8.0-devel-20160612143724-r23223-gec2a5d2.img of=/dev/sdb bs=4M

    hmm strange, were you able to mount the 2nd partition? because even on linux i could not.
    Is there any way to test this on PC? i don't have another SD this is a new SD and like i said when build x works and y, z doesn't i still think it might be the build not the SD otherwise it doesn't make any sense.
    I can write this to the device nand but won't that brick it if it's bad?

  • Master Branch Jun 12 build

    Hi,

    I'm running today's build (Wetek Core) but these issues were happening before too.

    1. The audio\subtitles (synced) are out of sync with the video playing (any video) both via streaming (fully downloaded even) and locallly, this is annoying since the video is being delayed compared to the audio and wasn't happening onthe prebious version of LE or Kodi.
    2. LibreElec System settings (where you define the hostname etc) are unaaviable for some reason and appear blank.

  • Wetek Img issues

    Hi,

    I've been building from the master branch for a few months now and i noticed now and then that the .img file (inside img.gz) sometimes gets courrpt during the creating process, it's noticable since the 2nd linux partition created after writing the img to the sdcard is unmountable even on the pc.
    when inserting the sdcard the error is:

    Code
    mount_storage could not mount /dev/mmcblk0p2

    i tried writing it several times and even deleting the partiotion table formatting etc it's the img it self, i tried formatting the 2nd partition as ext4 and got the following error (probobly on the 1st partition):

    Code
    oudn't mount /dev/SYSTEM

    The thing is, actually 2 things:

    1. the working build i have is from May 6, May 7 fails like this, i also have a build from June 2nd (fresh) also fails and one from June 10 and today (not fresh) all fail the same way.
    2. copying the img.gz to .update and running the update on the build from May 5th passed and made it update but inside is the same .img file that fails to be written to the same SD.

    Before the May builds i've also enoutnered this but since i'm still new at this i though it's my faults somehow.

    BTW i'm building for Wetek Core (amlogic pkg) and this was the same for openelec too.

    Any ideas?
