    • Install 7.0.3.011.
    • Make the box boot. :D
    • Choose kernel URL:

    • Login over SSH and exectute:

      • SD card:

        Code
        mount -o rw,remount /flash
cd /flash
rm kernel.img
wget link_to_kernel_image
sync
      • Internal:

    Never fails.
    It has the static popping. You know i take notes. ;)

    Yes, you are a great help! :cool: [THUMBS UP SIGN]

    I will prepare a test kernel soon to test.

    btw - what sense it make to develop 64bit version? The boxes have typically 1-2GB of RAM...4GB max - that's OK for 32bit kernel which can address max 4GB RAM...or I am wrong?

    Unfortunately there are still some issues with IOCTL when using 32-bit userspace and 64-bit kernel - and we have to use 64-bit kernel. 64-bit version is also handy for users who don't have or don't see a memory leak and don't want to play with reinstalling addons.

    It is no extra effort for me - source code for both versions is the same. The only effort is from compiler because I have to compile 2 versions and it takes 2x time.

    I'm pretty sure my MK808B Plus can do HD Audio on passthrough just fine.

    You need to read S805 specification that says there is support only for 2 channel audio = no HD Audio passthrough.

    Now he is asking about 4K streaming from Netflix and Amazon Prime Video and I don't think the S905 is HDCP 2.2 compliant. Hell, I don't even think his AVR is 4K capable.

    The only S905/S905X boxes that you can get Netflix in HD on are WeTeks and Xiaomi because only them have L1 DRM support. And that's only in Android. I'm not sure whether you can get 4K Netflix with any of them.

    Your latest m201d build is working perfectly on my box but my remote is not working. I have used the remote.conf from my android box but it still isn't working. Can you please help me?
    I've attached the remote.conf file here.

    Remember to reboot your box after uploading a new configuration file. You may want to try configuration files for other builds, listed here: LibreELEC

    The wifi doesn't go with the last version ?

    It works on all my S805 boxes. Keep in mind that only Broadcom and Realtek chips are supported.

    Hey kszaq what happened to your S905 Box ? :huh:
    I can't get a freeze out of the one S905x box i have.
    S905 MiniM8sPro , still random freeze. Rare, but it does happen. ;)

    I have WeTek Hub (S905), K1 Plus without DVB and with non-working HDMI (hardware failure) and one S905X box. I used to have MiniMX (1st gen) but it broke down. I also have Odroid-C2 (but it's technically not a "box") and a few S805 boxes.

    Hey kszaq with my minimx 1gb/8gb i too am plagued with the boot issue. I was wondering if there is any way to not have the install flash the bootloader? Like if it can leave it default so we the plagued users could see if that makes any difference.


    My builds don't modify bootloader at all, you keep the one that was installed last time with Android. When you see "Updating bootloader..." during update process it actually does nothing to bootloader, it's only about updating device tree.

    I'm sorry about the boot issue. I have 3 S905(X) boxes, I made them automatically reboot every 30 seconds and all rebooted fine all the time with 7.0.3.011. It's hard for me to tell what's causing the issue when I cannot reproduce it.

  • S905 builds - general discussion

    Unfortunately I don't know what's the exact colour encoding output. I know that you can force RGB output - again don't if it's limited or full. Maybe someone with a TV set that shows these values would be able to help you. Currently there is no way to switch output colour range in Kodi.

    - I read in another thread that 23.976Hz does not work in Krypton builds (currently displayed as 24.000Hz?) - will you be able to fix that soon?

    There is a patch from Codesnake that brings back 23.976Hz output rate. There are some issues with video stutter that need to be addressed and I'm working on it.

    When I flash your zip trough recovery, will I be notified when a new build is available?
    And does your build include everything needed for Mini Mx to work (Beelink Mini MX TV Box Android 5.1 Amlogic S905) ?

    No. There is no auto-update feature.

    Because you no longer have Android, you will have to supply remote.conf to make stock remote control work. Here's one from Alex's build: remote.conf

    This screen issue really has me scratching my head. I've tried on my other plasma telly which has same problem when changing from menu 720p to 1080p movie.

    I've taken pictures on my 4k TV to give you an understanding of whats happening. One image is me in the menus system by video calibration where tv goes to 720p and you can see in background what the Image of movie should look like. When Kodi does its refresh change it loses the picture as if its zoomed in. I've checked all my tv settings as i calibrated the TV everything like overscan etc was already disabled / off. I have no explanation on why it is doing this.

    Apologies for this blurry pictute.

    Sorry if this is a 'dumb' question...

    But why would I use this as opposed to the 'official' build? I'm running 009 at present on a WeTEK Play 2 but considering this one as it appears to have a couple of issues.

    Official builds are Kodi Krypton, this build is Kodi Jarvis (LE7). Also there is no support for WP2 DVB tuners in my build.

    I see there has been placed a ZIP file to flash via recovery:
    http://kszaq.libreelec.tv/s905/7.0.3.011....3.011.zip

    Can I use this to install over a previously installed http://www.amlinux.ru/image/905/7.0.2.00...update.zip ?

    This ZIP will wipe your data. You can try using normal update method but I can't promise it'll work. "AMLinux.ru" are not my builds and I don't know what's in them. Remember to use 64-bit build when updating.
