I will post a new build this week with updated kernel that should run on S905X. I will then ask for testing as I don't have a S905X device. [emoji6]

Gpu memory fix from popcornmix, which might help with the memory leak. Trying to find his github changes.

Wrxtasy added the patch to his c2 LE7 port.

GPU memory usage

Thank you for finding this! I will add the patch for the next build, backporting should be trivial.

A new build is almost ready, I only need to prepare device trees for your devices as the new kernel needs some changes and we can't use device tree from internal memory.

I can also see that Amlogic uploaded new sources to their Openlinux site, I will see if we can use the latest drivers. [emoji56]

is there a possibility to modify autoscript_aml to do not modify env partition on NAND and just boot to libreelec?
i just wish to experiment with LE on sd, but as i see it adds boot entry to bootloader config.

Unless you have a WeTek Hub the only way to boot without adding a boot entry would be to use toothpick method every time you boot and of course a proper autoscript. You may also need to know that changes to env can be reverted any time to default values by executing defenv; saveenv over serial console or in autoscript.

2. How do I turn off the WiFi modules? I do not want to have them on, while not needed.

First check your module name using lsmod and blacklist that module.

i have an annoying problem with SSH connection on both firmwares because is very slow and instable:
- I enter a character and I see it few seconds later;
- A response for a command comes 10 seconds later;
- Connection is very instable and i need to initiate a new session after some time.
What can I do to make SSH connection faster and more stable, based on that my wireless connection to my router is stable at 54Mpbs.

Unfortunately WiFi antennas on all Chinese boxes are hit and miss. I have 2 identical boxes, on one of them network works well, the other one has the same symptoms as yours.

Btw, is the builds' creator on holiday or something like that?

No, I'm not. What makes you think so?

I have already included the patch for the next build, just noticed it at SPMC today morning. Thanks for the heads up.

michaelchen and others with RTL2832 tuner, please test the new build for tuner working/not working: 7.0.2.4-media-test-2

Try disabling CEC in System -> Settings -> System -> Input Devices -> Peripherals -> CEC adapter. In my setup volume button presses are bypassed to AVR and that might also be the case for you.

Edit: This is from your log:

UpdateAudioSystemStatus - CEC capable amplifier found (RECEIVER). volume will be controlled on the amp

@troggy On some boxes I've seen u-boot adapting to power key code from userspace somehow and I was able to power on the box by any remote from u-boot sleep. Unfortunately in most of the cases you can only power on by original remote, like you said.

@michaelchen Thanks for report about your tuner. I will investigate this further. I don't want to revert including media-backports drivers so I will first try to fix the issue with these drivers still included. I will post new dev builds to test from time to time and I'll appreciate if you can report OK/NOK.

Some people have connected their BT dongles and they worked, I can't promise every dongle will work, they need to be supported in 3.10 Linux kernel. As with almost every other device, there is no universal driver.

thank you for the reply . would u need a box to work on to do so?

I hope I won't, i.e. that the new build will simply work.

A95X on 005 hangs on reboot / power off. Any progress on that on next release?

With the new kernel that issue seems to be gone. But before I publish a next build I want to finish some important tasks, I don't want to upload anything half-baked.

mmpp GitHub - wrxtasy/LibreELEC.tv.7.0 at WeTek_Hub-7.0.x

I had a look at Wrxtasy's patches and they don't apply to Hi10P videos - you can only choose to not HW decode SD videos. I have made another patch that should prevent from enabling hardware decoder only for Hi10p videos.

I can't promise that but it's possible it will work.

There are 3 ways you can edit kernel command line, none of them is trivial:

• Hook up serial console, interrupt boot process and enter your parameters.
• Compile your own aml_autoscript that overrides boot parameters.
• Recompile kernel with custom cmdline.

Lots of changes from Amlogic but I don't see that many improvements and there are still some old issues to fix.

That's why I don't rush it and want to fix things first.

I don't have a S905X device so while the next build will include the new kernel, S905X won't be "officially" supported.
