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.

kszaq what happened to Your Drink link ?

My 70 year old friend i flashed your build on has left a drink for you.

It must have been lost during my latest OP update. It's back now.

Thank you for considering a donation!

kszaq 7.0.1.4 is working. 7.0.1.3 same issue. It's related to kernel changes for cpu you made back there i think.

Please use 7.0.1.4 for the moment. There weren't significant changes in 7.0.2.1/7.0.2.2 to justify an upgrade. I will revert CPU-related changes for the next build.

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?

Quote from anthontex

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:

Quote from CGarces

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?

Pasted output above.
Thanks again.

System partition readable, should be safe to flash on internal.

I SSH into box and issued system command and received the above.
I'm not sure if system is the command after logging in is what you meant. If so something is not right.

You have to exectute commands I posted in Code bracket if you want to make sure that internal memory is visible to LE kernel.

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.

**kszaq** · [7.0.3.3d] LibreELEC 7.0 for S805 **kszaq** July 6, 2016 at 9:50 AM

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

Poida This is the last try, please also check for V3_1 board: uboot-mac-fix3

back to random MAC on v2.0

Can you please post a log from v2.0 board with latest test build (after a cold boot, of course)?

Quote from Poida

Works fine with the v3_1 boards, but then so did the 7.0.2.1.build.
For the v2.0 board it now sets the same MAC address each time (00:15:18:01:81:31) which is not the actual MAC for that board.

00:15:18:01:81:31 is MAC address set by your u-boot. It appears this is the default Amlogic MAC from u-boot code... yet another messed up u-boot.

Please try another build: uboot-mac-fix2

**kszaq** · [7.0.3.3d] LibreELEC 7.0 for S805 **kszaq** July 5, 2016 at 9:35 AM

Poida Please check this build for correct MAC address setting: uboot-mac-fix

Quote from Poida

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.

As expected, the 'wrong' builds are also unable to switch the LED.

When you enable wake_lock, LED will not turn turn red on "suspend".
