Hi.

I've open this new thread because i don't find any other related with this problem.

I've tested last nightly build of LibreElec with Kodi 18 in Minix U9 S912 and I found some problem with HDR, 4:4:4, 10bits samples. I've tested HDR 4K 4:4:4, 10bits, 59,96Hz and it didn't play it correctly. I've added resolution in whitelist option in Kodi, but i get dark screen. (i've commented this issue in kodi forum).

However, in wrxtasy build 8.2.4.2 switching is automatic from 1080p, 4:2:0, 8bits GUI --> 4K, 4:4:4, 10bits HDR.

I’m not an expert in this field but if your required some logs or test, tell me.

Thanks.

I have been using wrxtasy builds since 8,2,4,1 but recently I've starting to follow balbes150 topic about new Kodi 18 builds.

Are there any advantatge to jump balbes150 builds? I mean, HDR, 10bits, and all advantatges of wrxtasy builds are inlcuded?

Thanks,

After reading many posts in this forum, in the kodi forum, in the minix forum ... finally I paid attention to @ wrxtasy recomendation and I bought a refurbished Minix U9-H from Amazon.

As I received it I installed its version of libreelec in the internal memory, completely deleting android

The first tests were very positive being able to play 4K HDR remux files from wifi through an FTP sharing.

As I did the tests on a 1080p TV, I detected that the 4K videos played in 1080p there is no autoswitch of the refresh rate of the television. Do you think it is possible to adjust it? (video library is shared with my 4K and 1080 TV)

On the other hand, the bluray ISO files, in spite of choosing directly the main title, are not reproduced. Is there some workaround for its correct reproduction?

And finally a doubt. I use HDMI-CEC for navigation in Kodi. I have seen that if I turn off the TV, the minix is turned off but if I turn it on later, minix will not turn on and if turn on manually, there is a black screen. Is there any way to do it without using the minix command? or what is the correct way?


Thank you.

Hi all.

I would like to buy a decent mediaplayer to watch HDR4k movies with Atmos/DTS:X. I've read some post here and offical kodi forum, but i don't have a clear vision of what devices are capable.

Anyone can said me if this MeCOOL M8SPro L is capable of:

- Libreelec with wifi 5Ghz

- 4K HDR

- Auto resolution

- Auto Dynamic Range

- Auto Color space

- HDMI CEC

- Atmos/DTS:X passtrough.

- On/off with remote¿?¿

Thanks.

I will release a new version for all devices soon and no MX3-G doesnt support full 4k as hdmi port is only v1.4 and for that you need v2.0 as S905/12 has but these soc (S802/12) is way more powerful than any S905.

Do you think that is possible add support for bcm 4335 like the rom LibreELEC_8.0.0-Begicj-M8S_S812_4335.zip ?

Thanks

It's not made like the balbes150 images - it's less convenient. Only the toothpick installation works and all your settings are gone after installing. It's a fresh new box with a beta of Krypton. So that's very inconvenient.

Auto refresh works, HD passthrough doesn't, x265 support does work but I think it is software decoding.

If you don't care about Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, try the release for the M8S Plus that supports h265 hardware decoding and 4K video, see my previous post.

Thanks.

Yesterday I installed the suggested ROM. I'm doing some testing, but the general performance is very great. It is true that Kodi version is old, Kodi 17 beta 6.

Maybe is a stupid suggestion but, it is possible to substitute the kernel file form Begicj-M8S_S812_4335 to @surkovalex ROM to gain Wifi support?

Thanks

I'm testing this build LibreELEC_8.0.0-Begicj-M8S_S812_4335 a bit more on my Minix X8-H Plus:

- Ethernet is not working. I've tried to configure the connection manually by setting IP and gateway in the connections screen. But no connection.

- Wi-Fi works straight away on first run and it's fast.

- The best news: also 4K works! I've got full screen and it's really 4K and 4K x264 videos do play fine.

- Didn't test Bluetooth because I wouldn't know what to test it with - and I don't need it to be honest.

So basically, everything I need works in this build.

Problem is that installing this one erases everything, my sources.xml and advanced settings and stuff, all gone

But hey, anything that helps getting Wi-Fi to work on my Minix X8-H Plus..!

If we'd get the drivers from this build working in the 17.3 build of balbes150 then we've got the perfect Kodi for me and the Minix X8-H Plus is back alive!

It is possible to test it on SD without a installation? If it so, is made like @balbes150 images?

Can you confirm if any of this features are supported by this rom?

- Auto refresh rate hz for local and streaming video

- Audio HD passthrough

- Acestream streaming

- Support for x256 (any resolution)

Thanks.

The latest version of the Minix image behaves the same (does not start) ?

Yes, with last Minix version "LibreELEC-S812.Minix.arm-8.0.2_20170514.img.gz"
Not boot

Quote from balbes150

Are you using SD card ?

Yes.
I'be tried different SD and it doesn't boot. After minix logo stuck in a black screen and not loading.
I've tried a MXIII plus image and start fine, but wifi is not stable: sync clock but i cannot connect to kodi respository.

1. Updated test image for Minix (20170514).

I've tested on Minix X8H-Plus and it doesn't boot. Appears a message saying "filesystem is corrupted" and turn off after 120 seconds.

Quote from Arcee

I'd be more than happy to test it on my X8-H Plus, but I don't know how to update to .gz files. Can you provide a .tar? I just copy the .tar in the Update folder and reboot. I'm not using dual boot but just internal flash memory since day one using OpenElec more than two years ago.

I'be tested the new image. Same like before, connect to wifi but it is not stable. I cannot download any addon. Sorry, no luck with Kodi 17,1 for minix.X8-H Plus.

Quote from wrxtasy

Nah, you are not doing anything wrong.

Can you try adding this boot.scr file to the SD card pls.
Yandex.Disk

I've taken a bit of old @surkovalex and mixed in a bit of current kszaq and come up with this LE 8.0.2 Kodi 17.2RC1 image for the MINIX X8H+

LibreELEC-Minix_X8Hp.arm-8.0.2.img.gz

Hopefully WiFi should work properly. The IR remote should work out of the box.
Dual boot may work.

Image Flash Instructions:

• Burn the downloaded file to SD card or USB drive using Rufus. Alternatively you can use LE tool but remember that you have to download the image manually: Installation - LibreELEC

Power Up Instructions - first Boot:

• Unplug the X8H+
• Insert microSDHC card
• Plug it back in
• Hold the reset button in with a paper-clip / toothpick while pressing the Power button
• (Reset button is found in a hole in the bottom of the case.)

You may only have to hold down the reset/power button till the green Robot appears.

I have no X8H+ to test with however.

Thanks!

I've tried in my Minix X8H-Plus but it doesn't boot. I actually have installed android 5.1.1 from MXIII-Plus Rom. I've followed your instructions, but it stucks in minix logo.
I can boot other Libreelec image from this forum, (like de Demetris' rom designed for MXIII Rom).

Am I doing something wrong?
