  • 7.0.2.009 build for S905/S905X

    Quote from CGarces


    Hi!

    I not see the changes related to the audio, the kernel version is the same than 7.0.2.009
    Also I'm not sure about the simplified a/v buffering patch, can you point me to the commits?

    Kernel version is the same because I applied changes as patch.

    Simplified buffering patch is for testing, not yet uploaded to GitHub.

    kostaman Thank you a lot for testing. Your results are very helpful, as always! I have confirmed seeking issues with some samples on my side, I had to find some that have issues with! Can you please try a next build, I no longer have no video on my side: 2016-11-14

    For those who love testing new builds I have uploaded one with the following changes:


    Download from: 2016-11-13 2016-11-14
    You have to use device tree from 7.0.2.009 bulid if you update from 7.0.2.008 or older.

    I need help with enabling wifi chip on my Beelink Mini mxIII II...I read above that some of you have been successful, but I myself can't get it to work...

    I installed the latest LE build from the first post that is supposed to have some experimental Aigale support, I created autostart.sh in Configfiles via samba (also did ssh to confirm, Configfiles seems to be the same directory as .config), pasted the lines from the first post, rebooted, but wifi and bluetooth are still unavailable...can anyone please give some quick step-by-step? Also I understand that I don't need any specific device tree files for s905x, right?

    Also, can anything be done with the wrong HDR to SDR conversion (blacks are elevated - gray, and gamma is crushed) and BT.2020 to rec.709 conversion? there is a "deep color" option in Android 6.0 display settings that enables bt.2020 support but only as HDMI metadata for the UHD TV to render it properly, it does no colorspace conversion for non-UHD TVs, but something like that would be welcome in LE if at al possible...these are 4K boxes after all :rolleyes:

    Thanks

    Im having the exact same problem. I created the autostart.sh file. With file ending in .sh NOT .txt or .py and placed it in the .configs folder. rebooted and cant see my wifi. Any help is appreciated.


    Please collect logs and head over to this thread: LibreELEC
    Remember that these drivers are experimental and I don't have device to test. Also I don't think that Bluetooth will work.

    There is a way to disable hdr on libreelic?.


    echo 0 > /sys/module/am_vecm/parameters/hdr_mode



    Apparently the file is not correct for the remote you have. You may want to look for other files with remote in the beginning and conf at the end, like remotesecond.conf. Rename in to remote.conf, copy to Config folder and reboot.

    Has Xtreamer stolen kszaq's work?

    Using GPL code to create your own project is not stealing and everybody is free to do it as long as they share source code after modifications.

    kszaq Thank you for your fantastic work! It seems that this build gives me problems with playing HD content. When the resolution > SD, scaling doesn't seem to work. Every HD stream/file I play looks like it's zoomed in. I do have the correct DTB (checked twice and installed via dd if=dtb.img of=/dev/dtb bs=265k). Could this be related to the 4k scaling patches in the most recent changelog, or did I miss anything?


    It might be scaling issues and you missed posting logs. ;)

    Has somebody ever tried to use modprobe to extract the driver out of the afl1 build and load it inside of the kszaq build?
    Or vice versa to apply the patches from kszaq on the afl1 build?


    My recent build and Afl1's use a different branch of Amlogic kernel. DVB driver for internal tuners comes from VitMod and is built-in into kernel, not a module.

    From a quick test:
    x265, AAC - Dolby Digital not working
    x264, AC3 - Dolby Digital is working
    (FWIW, I also checked I can get DD5.1-audio from both formats with a Mac plugged directly to the receiver)


    AAC and Dolby Digital? Did you turn on DD transcoding in Kodi options?

    kodiuser1 Internal system partition is not mounted in LE as there is no use of it. You found remote.conf in /tmp because my script copies it there for key remapping. To mount system partition you need to execute:

    Code
    mkdir -p /tmp/system
mount /dev/system /tmp/system


    and then you can look for remote.conf:

    Code
    find /tmp/system -name remote\*.conf

    Hello, i have a Beelink MXIII II 2gb Ram with A905x and i have updated to the latest libreelec version with the device tree but there is no option for SPDIF audio device output. Only HDMI, Analog and Bluetooth. Is it the SPDIF supported on this release?


    Audio should go out from every output: HDMI, SPDIF and analog at the same time as long as the format is supported for that output. No matter which output you select in GUI.

    @kszaq......is there any reason why LE has an issue playing Filmon.tv streams? I have tried the Filmon.tv addon and also the Freeview addon by rayw86 and whenever I go to access a Filmon stream it either just locks up or kicks me out after 30 seconds. I have seen on other sites that other folk with wetek are also advising of issues with Filmon streams. Is it something at my end?


    Unfortunately I don't use this addon do don't have any hints right now. Please read this post on what information you need to provide to make debugging easier and create a new thread to isolate posts related to your issue: LibreELEC

  • Overall performance of NAND storage vs. micro SD vs. USB stick ?

    This might not be the best way but you can execute some commands to test read speeds.

    First stop Kodi:
    systemctl stop kodi

    For internal system partition:
    echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && dd bs=1M count=200 if=/dev/system of=/dev/null

    For SD card you need to identify SD card partition, e.g. using blkid:

    Code
    /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
/dev/cache: UUID="57f8f4bc-abf4-655f-bf67-946fc0f9f25b" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/system: LABEL="system" UUID="da594c53-9beb-f85c-85c5-cedf76546f7a" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/data: UUID="57f8f4bc-abf4-655f-bf67-946fc0f9f25b" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/mmcblk1p1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL="LIBREELEC" UUID="0E55-5E22" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="9c56c43b-01"
/dev/mmcblk1p2: LABEL="LIBREELEC_DISK" UUID="4407bf73-4567-42de-ae29-c962cf013f98" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="9c56c43b-02"
/dev/mmcblk1: PTUUID="9c56c43b" PTTYPE="dos"

    Above you can see that LIBREELEC_DISK (or DISK if you run 7.0) is /dev/mmcblk1p2. In that case run:
    echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && dd bs=1M count=200 if=/dev/mmcblk1p2 of=/dev/null

    If your card is very slow, it may take a long time to execute.
