Community builds are more bleeding edge and experimental (although curated by competent experimenters) and improvements to straighten things out are achieved by a "two steps forwards, one step backwards" trial and error process. As issues are discovered/fixed/proven, changes are committed back to the common codebase used in official releases and we roll things up into the next maintenance release.

In the case of audio things; current community builds are playing about with a proposed PR on github. This PR is likely to be amended/reworked in the coming week or so based on newly learned things. Then follows more testing.. because we are working from a shitty (inherited) kernel codebase so we are conservative with changes; the more you change the more fugly stuff that surfaces, needing more effort.

Thanks for taking the time to reply - makes more sense now

I'll stick with the official build for now as actually I don't seem to have any real problems, some minor annoyances but that is partly with the other kit I am working with, i.e. projector, amp etc, rather than LE itself.

Why do people pimp their cars? .. there's always someone that wants something different.

Unless there is something you really must have that's available in a community build, stick with official.

I get that completely, but i guess what seems missing - and massive apologies if this is somewhere and I didn't find it but - is any detail on what is in the official build and what might be known issues, so that one can then check community builds (and pimp the install) if they are experiencing such an issue.

In my case I bought an Odroid C2 specifically so I could install LE and have a dedicated Kodi box in my setup. I also have Atmos capability and note from 'the' popular community build that Atmos features have recently been fixed. So makes me wonder whether I am getting the best Atmos experience from the official build - or not?

To use your car analogy, I can look at an original car and a pimped car and clearly see the difference, that does not seem to be the case here.

Final note, I am already a huge LE fan, and of the official build, so please take these as constructive and not negative comments!!

How stable must it be (as if that even can be determined) ?

Why not start with the one that is released as official:
LibreELEC-Odroid_C2.aarch64-8.0.1.img.gz

If you find a bug, report it on the LE forum.

Was trying to understand the relationship between the two more. Why is it there is a need for community builds?

Would the combined effort on the official build not make more sense.

I am using the official build right now but see more activity going on in the community build.

I see that LE has an official build and community builds.

Which one is considered more stable for odroid C2?

Hi all, first post, new LE user!

LE working perfect for me on Odroid C2 except for when I skip forward 10 secs etc during movie. Screen flickers and goes blank briefly. This is not so bad on the TV as it is brief but on the projector is causes it to re-search sources so appears for 5 secs or so.

I assume the refresh rate or resolution changes during skip forward/backward, probably the former causing the flickering. Anyone else experience this? Any solution?

I am using latest flashed LE on eMMC on odroid C2. Fairly standard set-up.

So it seems if I change the res/refresh rate to 1080p/50, the flickering goes away. Default was 60hz.

But if I then turn on refresh rate switching which is desirable then the flickering is better on fast forward but still there, but start and stop the movie causes the flicker, of course caused by the real change of refresh rate.

So basically can't win!
