Have anyone an idea how I can set the energysave (I dont know thats right im german -Energiesparen-) settings in Settings->Energysave and activate the suspend mode? I cant set this because its grey.
Try
[8.2.1.2] LibreELEC 8.2 for S912
But it is considered unreliable, with different results on different devices. Some not properly waking up anymore. Hence it being disabled by default. If you break your system you get to keep both halves.
Yeah, WD Elements 3,5" with own power supply.
Then the only thing left, before you will get any further help to begin with, would be remove and stop using any add-ons that allow you to either download or stream illegal content. Provide a log after that if the problem persists.
Display MoreHi, I have a problem with H96 Pro Plus and 8.2.1.1 version of this build.
After a day or two, the device simply freezes and only solution is pulling the power adapter from the device. I have two external disks connected, so it really sucks to do "hard shutdown", because I cannot unmount them properly.
I have tried to look inside Kodi log and journalctl, but there is nothing which could help me to see what was the cause of problem.
At first, I thought it was Sabnzbd since I was downloading 50+ GB files, but in last few days I didn't download anything and problem is still here.
What should I do? Downgrade to lower version of this build?Any help is appreciated
With two external harddrives I sure hope they have their own power supply, or a powered hub between them and your box. You're asking for trouble if not.
I'm using kszaq 's LE repo GitHub - kszaq/LibreELEC.tv: 'Just enough OS' for Kodi, build LE for Khadas VIM2 with Amlogic S912. But found that I can't suspend or hibernate the system, when I press POWER key the system just ShutDown, and I found that I can't change Shutdown function in System settings->Power saving->Shutdown function.
So how can I suspend or hibernate the system?
Thanks
Try enabling sleep mode to see if it works for your box. It doesn't work (properly) for all boxes, hence it isn't enabled by default. If it works for you you will basically have a fake suspend as in android, as power off from Android is not really a power off either. I have never tried it myself so I can't tell you when the wake-up will fire off exactly.
read carefully
I talked about installing img.gz
and you are talking about tar
I repeat once
LibreELEC-S912.arm-8.90.8-K.img.gz can not be installed
There's nothing to read carefully about your post. You are giving us zero information about your situation nor what the problem is and, even though you don't bother to actually type a question, I assume you expect us to help you any way. While afl1, kszaq and others are performing magic for us, not they, nor the rest of us are clairvoyant. If you expect us to be helpful you'd need to provide the context (device, medium) and state what is not working at which moment, this together with a shiny log if possible and relevant.
LibreELEC-S912.arm-8.90.8-K.img.gz can not be installed
Yes it can.
So, my question was/is really around the future (if any) of libmali.so. You said that Amlogic is never going to release the needed user-space binary drivers. So what are really the viable options for the future? A complete open-source stack, ala Nouveau?
A full featured open source alternative would be ideal, but in reality this is never going to happen. Just looking at the state of the open source attempts for way older mali chips should tell you enough.
Please continue this repeating off-topic discussion in a separate thread. Search the forum for post by chewitt and kszaq for earlier dead-end replies.
I managed to connect my nas
however, the original remote control does not work with this version
I am obliged to use the remote control in bluetooth
I want help
Please read the main installation instructions more carefully and completely first: [HOWTO + FAQ] Install community builds on S905/S905X/S912 device
The remote control part in particular.
I did more searched and found GearBEST had MECOOL BB2 TV Box Amlogic S912 Octa Core with 2/16 GB RAM/eMMC storage for sale under $30 from its EU-23 warehouse over last black friday sale (yesterday) and now it is out of stock, unfortunately. Although I saw some comments on this forum most of MECOOL Amlogic S912 octa-core system suffers from eMMC defects. But, for under $30, I sure don't mind to grab one (if still available) if it can run LE on an external USB memory stick.
please discuss a subject like this in a more appropriate thread like Choosing a S905 / S905X / S905D / S905W / S912 box guide
please tell me
why there is no support hdr?
I have Mecool KIII pro
hdr does not work
please stop asking the same questions in different threads.
Really? I thought the tar is the faster one.
I meant compared to decompressing it manually before putting it in the update folder 
In this situation the reboot itself will be faster because it won't have to unpack the update first.
Do I only have to unzip the gz.img folder and copy/paste that file in the Update folder and then reboot the device?
You can even just drop the tar in there without the need to unzip anything. Just be a bit more patient during the reboot.
Can you downgrade on the same way?
Yes
I have people asking me if S912 boxes are good to run Libreelec.
I've read OP's warning so I've been telling them no but I read the buying guide post and it says the issues were fixed.
Which one is right? If you bought a box today, what soc would you choose to run Libreelec?

Display MoreHi everyone,
I recently got the MINIX U9 and flashed LibreELEC 8.2.1.1 on it, working great!
The only issue I have left is powering it on and off with my Harmony remote.
I have paired the MINIX in LibreELEC via Bluetooth with the Harmony Hub and added "Manufacturer: Microsoft / Device: KODI" as a Device in the Harmony remote.
The key response is instantaneous, far quicker than IR!
The only thing is that I cannot power it off (and on) with the "Power Toggle" command in Harmony.
I have read several guides and tips, but those are always for IR I believe.
Has anyone solved that issue yet? Does this need changes in remote.conf, keymap.xml or in the Harmony device?
The only workaround that I can think off, but have not tested yet, is do add a second device to Harmony (a MINIX IR remote)
and use that only for power on and off in the activity.
Thanks and kind regards
hanzoh
A separate thread for this subject would be more appropriate.
All you guys with remote control issues... Get a proper TV with a good remote, use CEC and be done with it 
Is there any chance you can help me im very new to this LibreELEC and have no clue as to what im to do i have the same box as you and would like to dual boot it ive downloaded the files i think i need but have just read your comments about remote not working is there any chance you could help me out and point me to what i need and explain it to me, Id like to think im not thick and have been using Android for years and setting up XBMC since the original Xbox days so i would hope id pick it up quickly. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
How about just reading and performing the instructions already provided in the first post? [HOWTO + FAQ] Install community builds on S905/S905X/S912 device
Unfortunately we can not hold your hand while you are at it.
If that is not enough and you actually have a specific question you can ask it here and we can try to help, provided you actually give us the information needed (knowing the type of box you have would be handy).
Yes, I also begin to think that there is no concrete solution for the remote in LE.
But OK booting to Android before power off is only 20 seconds extra, so I can live with it.
If somebody is having a fix anyway please let me know
Try enabling sleep mode to see if it works for your box. It doesn't work (properly) for all boxes, hence it isn't enabled by default. If it works for you you will basically have the same, as power off from Android is not really a power off either. I have never tried it myself so I can't tell you when the wake-up will fire off exactly. You should be a happy camper if using the remote is one of the ways.
Is not this a specific build fot KIII Pro?
Or will this also work with H96 Pro+
You should really start reading more carefully what people write. It safes others from wasting time on restating things and it reduces problems you might encounter. The post I referred to gives you a clear answer.
Do I have to toothpick it again the first time?
And what will happen if I insert my first SD card back again, no bootproblems?
As far as I know it should just boot to the different SD cards without the need to do anything extra as long as you stick to one SD card/USB stick at a time. You can always perform the toothpick method again if anything does go wrong. Just don't install to internal.
