Hi folks, I've been using LE 8.2 on my X96 Mini, and it's definitely past time for an upgrade. The new downloads page doesn't mention the X96 Mini specifically, so I'm wondering whether there's a build of LE 9 that will work on my hardware?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks CHewitt! I went the manual config route, and managed to get a remote.conf configuration running that works. For anyone else running LE on this little "Intellybox" device, I've attached my remote.conf to hopefully make their lives a bit easier.
I've had this box for about a year, bought it on a one day deal and when it turned out to be pretty weak I threw it in a drawer and forgot about it. More recently my Sister needed a TV box so I thought I'd have a go at putting LibreElec on it so I managed to get that right. It seems to have an s905 chipset, but the remote totally doesn't work, she's been using a wireless mouse with it since I set it up for her but she hates using the mouse.
I've done some reading about remote.conf and the keymaps files and I've tried to do the manual creation of the conf file, but each time I try to get scancodes, the codes are different (??) so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Can anyone maybe help me identify this box and remote and (first prize) which device's remote.conf might work without any manual modification, please?
Hi all, I've tried installing the Milkdrop visualisation from afedchin's GitHub repo but it fails when trying to install from zip file. Is this visualisation simply incompatible with LibreElec (missing libraries and/or drivers) or is it worth trying to install the addon manually? It would be fantastic to be able to get my library of Milkdrop visualisations working in Kodi on the big TV.
Thanks in advance!
So I ordered an S905x box and the LibreElec install I'd made and tried to get working on the Rockchip box (obviously it didn't work) worked 100% fine on the very first try. I just had to drop a different DTB.img file on to match the hardware, and it booted perfectly. Wow, it's SO MUCH FASTER than the Android versions I've used!
Thanks to everyone who's weighed in on this thread.
So as it turns out using the Rockchip fork RKMC wasn't so stupid after all, since my box actually has the RK3066 chipset rather than the S905. But now it doesn't look like I can go any further on LibreElec because I don't see support for the Rockchip chipsets. Ah well...
Thanks very much for your help, everyone, and particularly wrxtasy, both for the help and for building this awesome project 
I have to ask the obvious question...
Why a Rockchip Fork of Kodi on an AMLogic box ?
Makes no sense whatsoever.
because I'm an idiot. and partially because it was the first build i ran across that allowed me to zoom in on content with smaller frame sizes.
Hi folks,
I'm currently running recent stock firmware on what I understand is an AMLogic S905 (MXQ 4K Pro) but I'm hitting some weird performance and memory issues that I figure are because my library is getting too big (20+ TB of episodes and movies stored on remote NAS). So I'm thinking of switching to LE but I'd just like to make sure it won't be a step back in terms of functionality.
Right now I'm using the most recent build of the RKMC fork of Kodi, which works reasonably well except for slow performance in menus and some limitations to zooming on content. If someone can confirm whether the following features will work either as well or better if I switch to LibreElec I'd really appreciate the advice:
- Passthrough audio for DD5.1, DTS etc working through HDMI out.
- Hardware decoding of HEVC X265 content up to 1080p (I don't have a 4K display)
- Support for the USB FLIRC dongle that I use my favorite remote with
- Decent operation with SMB shares from my NAS and Windows desktop PC where I store my video and movie content (hopefully not getting "function not implemented" when browsing the WORKGROUP network group)
If the above are possible (and performance is likely to be snappier, especially in menus and navigation) then I'll waste no time in switchin to LibreElec. Anyone able to share information about their experience will be very helpful.
Thanks in advance folks, and thanks also for taking the time to read my ramblings.
