  • [8.0.2e] LibreELEC 8.0 for S905/S905X

    Again, please, start a discussion for this in a different/new thread. This thread is not the place for it. You're busy with something that applies to any device, not just the S905, nor AMLogic for that matter. You'll get more and better help elsewhere, as well as that you're not polluting this thread, which is about just S905 related matters. You need to keep things separated to make it easier for yourself and others.

    Ok.. I get the point.. no worries will try to find in on my own. Just though I could talk to someone who might have faced such issue. Guess none else did. Thanks for all your help.

    Loads of people have, that's the point. There are plenty of resources already available to you to help you. You have to make an effort yourself first. We are happy to help if you have an actual problem, just as long as you keep the topics separated.

    If you have a K1, you should not use the C2 image. Either start over with LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.2e.img.gz or get LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.2e.tar, put it in the update folder and reboot to update.

    That's still of no use to him. He simply hasn't got a chip which LE supports. His box is not a true S905 MXQ.

    Procedures are described in detail by kszaq on the first page. You cant go wrong.

    Let me help you out; just find the proper .dtb file from the location mentioned on the first page. Grab the proper one for your box (make sure memory and ethernet values match) and replace the file on your SDCard after burning the image. Boot. Done.

    PS: Note that if you have a s905X box,or are using a existing device tree that works , replacing the device tree might not be needed. Just leave it.

    Since it's about updating an existing running system it's a lot easier to just put the dtb file in the update folder, next to the update image/tar and reboot. No need to do anything manually with the SD card. ;)

  • [8.0.2c] LibreELEC 8.0 builds for KIII Pro (S912)

    Quote from afl1

    Testing johngalt's nougat kernel version with fractional frame rate fix.

    LibreELEC-S912.arm-8.0-8.0.2-devel-201707041911-g834a470-I.img.gz

    THX to vevs.

    Thanks again!

    For what it's worth: I've been using the last three nougat test builds without issues, in a simple setup for the moment (CEC, h264 1080p input, 1080p output, HDMI non-passthrough audio). All is playing fine.

    I do have the impression that the last build does cause a bit more image distortion when quickly navigating though the collection, but this is all but objective and not a show-stopper.

    Also, putting the first test build in the update folder and rebooting resulted in a failed update leaving me with nothing more than a black screen with TV input channel label (i.e. no signal at all). I had to manually restore the kernel and system files to get things up and running again.

    This latest build did not show the same issue, but it does take an awfully long time with a black screen before the update is finished. Is displaying some sort of update progress not possible? I expect users aborting the process too soon without it, leaving them with broken systems (and more help requests here as a result of that).
