I did have an issue with sound stuttering on one of my older Sony Bravia TV's but selecting SPDIF in Kodi audio output settings seemed to have fixed that issue.

Tks i will update #1.

Seems that everyone have to experiment kodi setting to find something suitable.

Chineses boxes are a real lottery.

My question, will Kodi 18 Leia be incorporated into LibreELEC for Minix X8H Plus eventually?

thanks!

i will release this weekend kodi 18 final for X8/X8-H, X8-HP and the U1 (905...).

This will be based on the latest LE version (9.0) supporting linux 3.10/3.14.

no fancy patches just official things released by LE team.

if i don't answer your question , let me know.

Quote from grint

even have Finless android on internal.

i 've modified the assumption on post1 about the firmware.

tks for your feedback.

this week-end kodi 18 final probably

i will not go further with this but almost 3000 download for the 17.6 images....

something like 1000 download for the kodi 18...

again sorry that is not working for you.

chinese boxes are chinese boxes :

like Forrest says :

“My mom always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.”

Macko,.....euh....well....

sorry that's not working for you.

2. Something strange also happened....after being tired to keep press the reset with the toothpick, I released and press it during the MInix Android logo....and a message come in: something that the Files missing corrupt.....close power 120s (not exactly)

when you were running lollipop , the reset switch trick has worked. the lollipop bootloader wasn't able to fully "understand " the dtb (kitkat flavor) on the SD card. (....file missing corrupt....)

if you can reproduce the same process with a kitkat android... you may be successful.

MInix logo appear-blinks- release the Power button-release the reset button.....M

MInix logo appear-blinks => hum....

• press the reset switch and stay with the reset switch depressed
• press the power button and release it like usual
• wait a few seconds (max 5-6 secs).( if you see the Minix blinking logo => it's too long)
• release the reset switch.
• if everything goes right way , you will see the "LibreELEC" splash screen

this is the procedure for the x8-h, i hope it's the same for the x8-hp.

i think you get trouble to pass the "reset" trick.

can a x8-hp user explains to Macko how to do it? maybe i miss something for the x8-hp (remember i don't own a x8-hp)

The HDMI crashes and I have to completely power cycle the minix in order for the display to come back. Otherwise, it stays on the same frozen screen, even when rebooting via ssh.

This happens when I stop a video, pause, fast forward, or rewind. Also, I set the audio to snapserver pulseaudio. It all works fine as long as I don't do the above. Any ideas?

i got this with a old plasma tv hd-ready, not supporting 24hz/24p.

see below

Quote from datrh

you need a tv supporting 24hz/24p and you need to set (in Kodi) "adjust refresh rate" and have to define a "whitelist"
select Amlogic M8-analog even if you're using the hdmi (it helps to fix no audio with some files played by the avr)

datrh heads-up (and note the final paragraph on 3263):

cleanup: remove WC/WP1 projects and 3.10 kernel target by chewitt · Pull Request #3263 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

projects: rename Amlogic to Amlogic_Legacy by chewitt · Pull Request #3264 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

gotcha

Apparently the lollipop os version was not the issue of libreelec not working versions from this thread....

So, I flashed my MINIX 8H PLUS with the stock Android 4.4 last firmware 011 and the sd/usb card is the same....none of the Libreleec versions from first of this thead working at all. Even changing the dtb's, no results. The only difference is...this time i receive the following message

For S82/S82B/S82H/MXIII(1G&2G DDR) and S89/S89H this image will allow you to boot from sdcard:

RemiX_115k4.zip

did you play with the thing above?

if there's something with the dtb (wrong gpio for the SD or USB) you will get likely :

"Filesystem corruption has been detected!"

"To prevent an automatic repair attempt continuing,"

"press any key or power off your system within the next 120 seconds"

but back to business :

you don't have to change the dtb.

i would try again to boot from the RC5.2 and the bootloader has to be patched

Quote from chewitt

buzzmarshall autoscript.sh runs very early in the boot process and the network stack is almost certainly not up/ready at that point.

cpumac: add cpumac package · chewitt/LibreELEC.tv@e011b00 · GitHub is how I solve this in my test images.

oki thanks, will try to include this in the next release.

Quote from buzzmarshall

ii just checked one of your current builds on the generical S912 project and i can ssh into the box and issue a ifconfig command and alter both the wlan0 and eth0 Mac Address with no problems...

what i can say is s802/812 uses libreelec linux 3.10 and s905/above uses libreelec linux 3.14.

maybe the different behaviour...

i will dive into this when kodi reaches final release and when i get times to do this.

regards

(right now , i don't have any hints about this)

Quote from antcj

Thanks datrh

Ive had this on a few days.

Getting freeze up 30 min or so into viewing with occasional freeze again shortly after.

Any thoughts?

heat ?

Quote from jak455

Thank you darth !!!

I am currently on RC4, how do I go about updating to RC5.2 ? Do I need to do a complete re-install or just replace some files on my SD-Card / USB stick, if the latter, which ones ?

you need to know the ip address of your minix.

check this post : Update from .tar

just out of the oven, not tested yet

#1 updated

kodi 18 final has almost landed

Quote from Macko

you mean the lollipop of Minix caused the misleading information from the first post?

datrh

you maybe have right

The Lollipop beta firmware released by Minix caused also the missing files from LibreElec 17.6 gz

no at the time i have made the 17.6, the needed infos were available on the minix forum as well as a link to the "boot.src" (needed to boot from SD or usb).

it wasn't never integrated in the image.

i've integrated it when i started to build LE8.90.x and kodi "Leia" 18 for my minix device (x8-h)

the lollipop bootloader isn't compatible with the dtb's i use. when your device boot , it doesn't find the system on the SD or usb.

this why you get the message "files corrupt....."

kitkat runs with a linux 3.10, a bootloader version "X"

lollipop runs against another version of linux, a bootloader version "Y"

my images works with a linux 3.10 and are compatible with a bootloader "X"

beta lollipop

Quote from chamchenko

Thanks for you reply, I was asking about any 8.9 image for the s805 as I can't find any.

If I'm not wrong the sources on kszaq repository are stack on libreelec 8.2.

yep my meaning was : porting the s805 project from 8.2 to 8.9

it just need that someone puts time on it.

Quote from chamchenko

Does one of these img file work for amlogic s805

No sorry

but if someone has the time, a s805 device and the motivation to get something working ...

the sources are still available : [8.2.3.1] LibreELEC 8.0 for S805
