  • [7.0.3.012l] LibreELEC 7.0 for S905/S905X

    Quote from yomo86


    I really want to kiss you! After my S905x Box was basically an overpowered sluggish Android your build transformed it into a rocket.

    However, before I donate to you your coffee which is definitly due, is it possible to add MPEG-DASH or inputstream? Neither your KODI 16.1 nor the 17.0 build contain it which limits the box to 720p in some apps and my Magine-Account will not work because the app is constantly crying for this lib.


    You probably need to install inputstream.adaptive addon from LE repo. This will only work in Kodi 17.

    You have probably chosen a wrong device tree. That's why I recommend to try running from SD card first and check if everything works... You should probably be still able to run LE from SD card. Run in and perform  installtointernal after verifying that everything works.

    BUT

    It is now back to missing the first few seconds (around 3 i think) of any video called from either nfs or smb shares, this was not there in d or f I missed e

    I remember there were fixes, but I thought these had been 'installed' into the builds rather than were executed later by a changed setting in sound?

    This is because of the vq patch I am using. The patch fixes dropping vq over time and stuttering effect that comes after this happens. It also makes seeking and channel switching much quicker. The only downside it what you observed, i.e. a (little) few seconds missing at the beginning of some videos. This can't be improved without significantly modifying Amlogic HW decoding implementation in Kody Jarvis and I've already spent too much time trying to improve this patch. I have decided to leave the patch in current state for all future Jarvis builds because it's the best solution we can have. It's much more different in Krypton and that's where development focus is at.

    You are seeing "alphabet" editions of 7.0.3.012 because this is the last Jarvis version from me and I'm only going to add improvement to hardware handling should they come over time.

    Just curious, what if my device doesn't have toothpick option available? Is there ssh command to revert back to SD card booting?

    Insert SD card/USB drive with LE and reboot update over SSH.

    I never had the issue on my s812's running Kerber's build. Once I moved to s905 boxes on Libelec, I started to have the issue. I went back to Openelec on one s905 box and the problem disappeared.

    Don't get me wrong, I think your Libelec builds run better overall on a freshly booted box, it's only after a couple days that it has issues.

    OE from Kerber (Alex) uses older Amlogic kernel that was also present in my builds up to 7.0.2.005. The latest Amlogic kernel has some bugs in memory handling and this is being worked on by LE developers, I think we will see some improvements over time.

    Any idea how hot the CPU runs usually? With just the crappy heatsink on it, if it runs hot then I'll add a 5V fan on it. I installed the version with temp sensor disabled just incase so don't know how how these things actually run.


    It's different depending on the box. Install a version with temp sensor enabled, get the box to boot and observe your temperatures.

    EDIT: Any ETA on 7.95.1 build?


    My build versioning is different, beta4 is updated with almost all upstream commits that will become 7.95.2.

    1 - i have an external WD 1 TB drive connected and working fine , but recently i connected it to my PC to add some episodes and later connected back and update
    the library but it's not showing under TV show as the rest of the old files in same directory.
    i have restarted even renamed the folders and scan again with now success.


    This in not related to my build.

    2 - i followed the steps for update from Beta3 with temp sensor disabled to beta4a
    i have copied the beta4a.gz file with the proper device tree to Update folder using SMB network
    and restarted and no update happened.


    If no message appeared at LE splash screen, you must have put update file in a wrong folder.
