Why do you want to set pointercal file manually? The whole point of calibration process is to create this file

You need to install tvheadend or vdr addon. IPTV Simple addon is only for iptv - not dvb.

I see lcdd addon is available from repository. Not really sure what went wrong with your (and mine) build. Building again to see if something come up.

I made completely fresh build and this time addon was build fine.

Fakeroot is build directly from scripts/image like some other packages too: LibreELEC.tv/image at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
Wondering why you get this error.
Try making image first and then create addon.

And seems lcdd doesn't build for imx6:

build.LibreELEC-imx6.arm-7.95.1/toolchain/armv7a-libreelec-linux-gnueabi/sysroot/usr/include/lirc/curl_poll.h:36:29: error: array type has incomplete element type 'struct pollfd'
 int curl_poll(struct pollfd ufds, unsigned int nfds, int timeout_ms);

As a workaround you need to add line

CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DHAVE_SYS_POLL_H=1"

to file packages/addons/service/lcdd/patches before PKG_CONFIGURE_OPTS_TARGET.

Any comments?

You should mentioned on which system you are building. On Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS there is no such issues.

Quote from ozolli

I suppose you'll make a PR to bump e2fsprogs?

Already done. But will be available only in LibreELEC v9 - just in case. We don't want to break something so late in v8.

Solution: LibreELEC

Real solution: LibreELEC

Our dear user ozolli kindly gave me access to his build box and I successfully identified the issue. He is using Debian GNU/Linux stretch/sid.
LibreELEC is using host tools for formatting EXT4 partition. And Debian is using newer version of ext2 filesystem utilities
which supports some new filesystem feature called metadata_csum. But e2fsprogs 1.42.13 used by LibreELEC doesn't understand that. And populatefs fail at the end.

There are 3 possible solutions:
1.) If whole build is already done then mke2fs should disable some features (64bit,metadata_csum).
The line should look like this in file scripts/mkimage:

mke2fs -F -q -t ext4 -m 0 -O ^64bit,^metadata_csum "$LE_TMP/part2.ext4"

2.) For new builds e2fsprogs package should be bumped to 1.43.3
file packages/sysutils/e2fsprogs/package.mk
3.) remove feature metadata_csum from /etc/mke2fs.conf
for advanced users only!

PRochefort or anyone else with this issue: can you come to IRC to talk about it (find vpeter )? And we will try to figure out what is going on.

U-boot needs extra patch to build it for wandboard.
Kernel needs device tree + rfkill patch.
And that should be it

I tried current 1.2 version in folder JÖRG_Ω-Jörg. And I could run and download image to this folder. Wondering why. Any idea?

Update: I think now I understand the problem which is with writing image to USB/SD?

Quote from Goga777

unfortunately, even with your patch I have the same issue

Then I'm not sure what it could be.

Would be possible to give me ssh access to your box so I could investigate myself?

Quote from Goga777

Nevertheless, even with that error can I use already prepared tar build in target folder ?

I think tar file is fine in this case.

Quote from Goga777

how did you solve the issue ?

Try using newer populatefs. In LibreELEC folder run

wget -O populatefs.patch https://github.com/vpeter4/LibreELEC.tv/commit/b6cfd290a18ff761afe1c51984baf2dd319e88b4.patch
patch -p1 <populatefs.patch
PROJECT=... ARCH=... scripts/clean populatefs
PROJECT=... ARCH=... make image

LibreELEC

I see only 2 queries on boot and then nothing for some time.

LibreELEC:~ #  journalctl --no-pager -b -0 | grep ntp:
Jan 04 18:52:17 LibreELEC connmand[304]: ntp: time slew +1.154688 s
Jan 04 18:52:18 LibreELEC connmand[304]: ntp: time slew -0.002825 s

Thanks. I see no obvious reason for this.

But strangely now I'm also seeing sometimes this messages over serial console. Will investigate the issue and if I found something I will post here.
