I did not specifically look into it but it will probably be fixed with the latest patches from @peak3d.

BTW, the PayPal issue is fixed for me. I sent you a couple Canadian beers as a thank you. You deserve it.

Thank you!

@all: A new version uploaded: 7.0.3.012a that should solve DVB issues.

Fixed the issues i had. Works perfect.

You have a device with Aigale WiFi, right? Can you please confirm whether Bluetooth works for you in this build?

Just curious : what is an easy way to catch 64bit memory leak evidence?

Play several videos in a row with SW decoding or use TextureCache script to stress-test device (generating thumbnails etc.). The issue is not that apparent with 2GB RAM.

Will 64-bit build continue to be supported?
kszaq : would you mind also providing a 64-bit build?
For my personal usage, 64-bit builds so far were excellent.

I think I won't compile aarch64 build until the memory leak is solved. If you want to compile it yourself:

• cp projects/S905/linux/linux.arm.conf projects/S905/linux/linux.aarch64.conf
• rm projects/S905/patches/Python/*

I have identified an issue with DVB drivers and I'm working on a fix. I'll post an update here when it's fixed.

I'm in contact with Raybuntu and Peak3D (the developers behind the latest Amlogic patches for Krypton) and I've been testing the patches for some time now. We all share information on latest improvements. I haven't released a build with the patches yet because I had issues with some types of videos. With the latest version of the patch almost all videos (with the exception of 23.976fps VC-1) play really well and the patches will be included in my next build.

DVB drivers will be regularly updated.

Please post full logs for RTL2832U issue.

felixob You can try to install TVHeadend from this ZIP: service.multimedia.tvheadend-7.0.101.zip

I have updated from .11 64bit, reinstalled transmission but it doesnot work. Any idea?

I don't provide Transmission addon. When you install it from any external repository remember to install arm version and not aarch64.

Quote from Vibex

you added support to MyGica t230c tv dongle?

Possibly it is supported by updated DVB drivers, it would be nice if you can try and tell. I don't have this hardware.

@all: Images with chapter seeking fixed uploaded.

I think I've fixed chapter seeking. A new version will be uploaded in a few minutes. People experiencing this issue please re-download and update. You can put the updated image to Update folder and reboot even if you already have 7.0.3.012 installed.

As a matter of interest what is the buffering patch?

It is my patch for Kodi Jarvis that improves video buffering when using HW decoder:
le-018-aml-fix-vq-dropping-and-high-bitrate-playback.patch

It fixes very high bitrate video playback (e.g. "Jellyfish"), improves seeking times and fixes vq parameter dropping to 0%.

can i put directly this build (32 bit) to update folder of my .11(64bit) or do i need clean install.

Yes, you can. And when updating from .011 you don't need to download a new device tree.

Quote from ky41083

Any idea how different S905 boxes share identical boot.img's, with different sized internal storage and RAM? I have a box that does this, with its lower spec'd sibling. Which is what lead me to believe that uBoot supports at least some auto detection during boot.

The u-boot can select DTB based on board name (e.g. "gxbb_p200", "gxl_p212") and RAM size ("1g", "2g").

linux-amlogic/gxbb_p200_2G.dts at amlogic-3.14.y · LibreELEC/linux-amlogic · GitHub

You don't need to specify internal memory size as it is automatically detected at runtime and data partition is always marked as "the rest of chip size":
linux-amlogic/gxbb_p200.dts at amlogic-3.14.y · LibreELEC/linux-amlogic · GitHub

To run Amlogic USB Burning tool you need to press the Reset button and connect the box to your PC without connecting power first.

If you wish to run recovery, you should have read the release post carefully which says that you need to prepare SD card with recovery.img and dtb.img from Android firmware.

Yes. A new build is coming in a few days.

Addon repository fixed. I will look into chapter seeking asap.

One more Jarvis build before my development focus switches entirely to Krypton. This one also focuses on media_build update. Those of you who don't use USB tuners don't need to update:
7.0.3.3 Index of /s805/7.0.3.3/

Kernel commits from 7.0.3.1 to 7.0.3.2: Comparing fb5b898...f622be3 · kszaq/linux · GitHub

Changelog:

• update media_build drivers to CrazyCat69, 2016-12-23 (thanks CvH)
• improved Kodi buffering patch

Edit: I identified a bug in chapter seeking, 7.0.3.3 needs to be re-built. Images will be available back in a few hours.

Thread created. It always takes me some time to create release notes and review the whole post before publishing.
