    Do us testers just wait for Update Zip or do we have to do a fresh install on top of Dev Build already installed.

    You can update from the development build directly. Keep in mind that only the latest dev build (2017-07-04) is able to update from img.gz if your're running from internal memory. If you use SD card for LE, you can upgrade any dev version to the release build.

    There's still an issue with the S805 builds after 7.0.1.4 on the v2.0 boards (at least the one I have available)
    Video playback is very jerky and glitchy. The audio seems to playback normally while the video jumps around.
    The issue does not exist in builds prior to 7.0.2.1

    Please verify your playback settings, i.e. that you have hardware acceleration enabled and frame rate automation turned on. If you can, please compare Kodi settings between a board that plays videos well and the bad one.

    Thanks for you great work kszaq! Installed it (Nand version) on my mini m8s and it is up and running. The only problem i have is that the remote doesnt work with my box and neither does the HDMI CEC remote work so i am stuck using a mouse wired to it at the moment..
    Best regards!

    Have you had Android installed prior to flashing LE - according to recommendation from the first post? If not, my build may have not found remote.conf during installation and you need to put it manually in Configfiles. For CEC I use a hacky way to enable it in device tree and as GDPR-1 said, a log would be great to debug any issues you may have. I have also not integrated the latest fixes from Raybuntu. Please give us more details for you setup, logs and so on.

    thx kszaq for you work

    can you tell me which kernel source you are using, is it the latest amlogic source arm-src-kernel-2016-05-04-bd1ff1c1cd.tar.gz ?

    did you have to patch many (any) things to get it to work with openelec ?

    Kernel source code is available here: GitHub - kszaq/linux at amlogic-3.14.y

    You can see all the changes I had to make in Git history.

    I haven't upgraded the source from the latest Amlogic release as I had some issues booting it. I am working to include the latest Amlogic sources for one of the next builds.

    HD18Q kodi freezes after few clicks. 7.0.2.2 NAND install. Same problem as 7.0.2.1. I managed to complete setup wizard after 3 reboots. Sometimes even network don't work. Log file attached.

    What is the last version that works for you? I've noticed you mentioned 7.0.1.4. Is 7.0.1.3 also not working?

    Thank you Kszaq, obviously if I'll map a new remote , I will always need to switch the box on with its remote controller, or I might change the uboot code? Thank you again

    It depends on your u-boot. I have one box that has configurable power button whereas others have this hardcoded.

    I've a curiosity, never tested or investigate about that: is it possible to use for example Samsung 's ir remote controller , or LG or others, after configuring it or it's mandatory a remote controller with nec protocol? Thanks

    NEC protocol is needed but most IR remote controls use it anyway. For hints, read these:

    I'm using the SD version. It's posible to acess to the NAND and fetch the remote.conf from Android system directly with SSH without boot Android?

    I am not going to do it as i am not sure about the 8GB eMMC FLASH instead
    of NAND in this box. I haven't seen this before in All Black MXQ's
    Is it safe to flash. I'm not sure eMMC is supported in your builds ??

    Yes, there are drivers for both eMMC and NAND internal flash. I have devices with both and it works. Another thing is that a lot of sellers advertise eMMC flash and in reality the box has NAND flash inside.

    If you want to be sure that it will work correctly, first run LE off SD card (that's what I recommend doing with every new box) and try to mount and list system partition over SSH:

    Code
    mkdir -p /tmp/system
mount -o ro /dev/system /tmp/system
ls /tmp/system


    If you see file list after last command, it means that LE should work after installing on internal memory.

    So no real need to push this update? V3_1 board. It's just a patch for wrong mac address that will be migrated to the next update you release anyway? My mac is correct atm [emoji3]

    The fix is included in 7.0.2.2. If you don't have issues with MAC address, there is no need to update.

  • [7.0.3.3d] LibreELEC 7.0 for S805

    Bugfix release:
    7.0.2.2 7.0.2.2

    Commits from 7.0.2.1 to 7.0.2.2: Comparing 7.0.2.1...7.0.2.2 · kszaq/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
    Kernel commits from 7.0.2.1 to 7.0.2.2: Comparing 5df008c...058e38b · kszaq/linux · GitHub

    Changelog:

    • fixed reading MAC address for devices with zeroes in eFuse
    • fixed updating from img.gz for NAND installations (this fixes updates from 7.0.2.2 and newer)


    Known issues:

    • V3_1 board cannot wake up from suspend/power off by pressing remote power button (u-boot bug)

      • you can now work this around by adding echo Y > /sys/power/wake_lock to autostart.sh - this would make your box not suspend and only turn off HDMI signal instead
      • you should note that with wake_lock enabled, your device is working all the time - e.g. pressing a keyboard button results in key press in Kodi that you cannot see!
    • 29.97 progressive videos may stutter
    • power LED on not officially supported boxes may not work as intended (too many boards to support them with a single build)
    • no HD-Audio passthrough and multichannel audio output
    • DVB support is experimental, some USB DVB tuners don't work at all

    With the 7.0.2.1 release, without enabling wake_lock the v2.0 board behaves as before - except the MAC address is different after each boot
    Like I said earlier, kszaq, if nobody else has an issue don't even worry about it (I can just use the script to correct the MAC address)

    Can you please post a log for this issue? It has to be collected right after a cold boot.
