  • [7.0.3.3d] LibreELEC 7.0 for S805

    A new build for you to test, a bit experimental one. I'm now leaving for 4-5 days, I hope you can get me some feedback by the time I am back.

    WARNING: NAND users are strongly advised to backup their LE settings to an external drive in case new NAND driver fails! If the new release doesn't boot, here's what you can do to revert to 7.0.1.1 without wiping data:

    • prepare SD card for NAND installation
    • delete factory_update_param.aml from SD card
    • boot to recovery using "tootpick" method
    • flash the ZIP file from SD card

    7.0.1.2 7.0.1.2

    Commits from 7.0.1.1 to 7.0.1.2: Comparing 7.0.1.1...7.0.1.2 · kszaq/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
    Kernel commits from 7.0.1.1 to 7.0.1.2: Comparing 9bf155dcbb...9d4e014 · kszaq/linux · GitHub

    Changelog:

    • added SSV6051Q WiFi driver (not usable yet)
    • updated NAND driver to latest Amlogic release
    • turned off CEC debugging by default
    • updated m201d device tree to closely match stock
    • added a bunch of new Kodi patches for testing from Wrxtasy's Odroid build, Koying's SPMC, Popcornmix RPi build and Christian Troy's WeTek tree:

      • fixes CPU usage reporting for turned off cores
      • simplified display mode handling
      • added High Quality GLES scalers
      • added YADIF 2x deinterlacing for SW-decoded videos
      • added a setting for configuring CEC button repeats
      • added a patch to speed up thumbnail loading
      • added a patch to lower stuttering when opening menu while playing video
      • added a proper fix for skin settings not being saved
      • added a caching patch when video and audio are starving


    Known issues:

    • V3_1 board cannot wake up from suspend/power off by pressing remote power button (u-boot bug)
    • 29.97 progressive videos may stutter
    • sometimes CEC may not work
    • 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

  • [7.0.3.3d] LibreELEC 7.0 for S805

    Can you try:

    I also have some Kodi patches from wrxtasy coming for the next release that fix some sound issues.

    Sorry, I thought it would end the latest log and I would have the complete one for uplodad.

    This one should make it.

    Deleted the xml, too.

    The sound stuttering is sometimes only a few seconds, like now.
    Sometimes up to 22 sec (last time).
    Sometimes even no stuttering at all.

    Either I'm looking at your logs in a wrong way or there is no sign of playing anything in it.

    Okay, after double checking the network adapters ...
    Both are no real 100mbps adapter. I have fallen for false advertisment.

    Because of the sound stuttering if I start a stream, I have created a short log.
    Starting device, starting stream and restarting device.

    My advancedsettings.xml @ \storage\.kodi\userdata

    Code
    <!-- Created using Easy Advanced Settings addon -->
<advancedsettings>
    <network>
        <buffermode>1</buffermode>
        <cachemembuffersize>209715200</cachemembuffersize>
        <readbufferfactor>4.0</readbufferfactor>
    </network>
</advancedsettings>


    Made another log with audio and ffmpeg logging. (If I done it right)


    • Please don't restart after reproducing your issue. The log is emptied on every reboot, I have no use of empty log. Instruction clearly says to reboot only before reproducing the issue.
    • Remove your advancedsettings.xml and try again.

    OK €5 from me for starting on the S905

    Thank you but as I said: no promises at all. Let's say it's for a coffee.

    And one thing: don't buy any boxes from GearBest.

    I never created logs with kodi before.
    Do you need the full log from bootup till "end"?
    Or is it enough to use ssh and create the log just before pluggin in the adapter and playing the video? (same for wifi)

    Everything is said in the first post. First reboot the box, reproduce your issue and collect logs. Thanks.

    Hi,

    what is the path for my advancedsettings.xml?

    Probably not the same as in openelec...

    # find / -name advancedsettings.xml
    /usr/share/kodi/system/advancedsettings.xml

    But this filesystem is read-only...

    It shall be put in /storage/.kodi/userdata

    I don't use DVB-T/S/C at all. Maybe other users will be able to help you out. You can also look at these two threads for recommendations:
    ODROID Forum • View topic - C1(+) LibreELEC 7.0.3 - Kodi Jarvis 16.1 / 24p+HEVC

    Ok its booting faster but still has no signal on WiFi. Log files are attached, Thank You.

    Frank

    Only the last log is from the latest build I posted, right? In the log I can see that WiFi firmware gets loaded, there's a WiFi interface and it scans for available networks. If there is no network available to connect to on the network list, we're now stuck and we have to wait for box/chip manufacturer to send me the driver... For now there is no reply from both of them.

    Kszaq, if we all 'chip in' to buy you one can you build a version of libreelec to run on this? How about it guys, 5 of us each give kszaq €5 for a box?

    You'd also need to buy me some free time. Maybe at some point I'll start building for S905 devices (I have some things prepared for that) but I don't know if that's in one week or a couple of months.

    Kszaq, I loaded the new firmware and now the box reboots without red led and dosent require power reset. Also I noticed that CPU core 2 and 4 were frozen and were not cycling as 1 and 3. The wifi is the same as before, just an empty screen for connections until I plug in the hardwire. Log file for review attached...

    Frank

    Don't worry about CPU2 and 4 stuck at some value, this is a bug in how CPU load is reported with hotplug governor - when the reading is stuck, it means that CPU core is turned off to save power. It'll power back on when necessary.

    We're getting a little bit closer to making your WiFi chip work, please try this build: LibreELEC-S805.m201d.arm-7.0-devel-20160522205800-r22955-gce3a3fa.tar

    Maybe some other users will be able to help you but for me to say anything - even that I can't help - you really need to provide logs.

    Hi guys,
    I hust updated to libreelec from openelec. In openelec I had rtorrent installed and working. Now, after updating to libreelec, rtorrent fails to start with the following message:
    ./rtorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.32: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    I think this is related to the fact that rtorrent was built in openelec with a different version of libssl. Is there any way to fix this issue? Thanks!

    I've tried installing rTorrent from OE unofficial repo and it runs fine - is your addon/unofficial OE repo at version 7.0.1?

    Thank you for the very quick responce.

    I copied the tar over to the update folder via SSH and rebooted and I had the same results. Here is the log file after reboot.

    Frank

    Thank you for the log. Can you please go to Kodi settings, turn off CEC, reboot and collect the log once again? Your TV seems to not support CEC and kernel log is cluttered with CEC error messages.

    In the meantime I will e-mail the box manufacturer with request for the driver. Let's hope they answer.

    I copied the tar over to the update folder via SSH and rebooted. I had no indication of a wireless signal iunder LibreElec/Connections menu. I reset LibreElec to defaults and rebooted going through the startup setup and again had no WiFi signal. I connected my wired line, connected and downloaded a log file for your review. Thank you for your continued efforts!

    Frank

    Thank you for reporting. It's a bit hard to make the driver work when I have some third-party source with no guarantee that it works and no box to check it. From your log I can see that the driver has not been loaded correctly. I have changed the driver configuration a bit. Can you please try this build: LibreELEC-S805.m201d.arm-7.0-devel-20160521013322-r22955-gce3a3fa.tar

    OpenElecCrazy: I forgot about backslash and semicolon at the end of the line. The correct set of commands would be:

    Code
    mkdir -p ~/downloads
mkdir -p ~/downloads/ssv
mkdir /tmp/system
mount /dev/system /tmp/system
find /tmp/system -name ssv\* -exec cp {} ~/downloads/ssv/ \;
umount /tmp/system

    Edit: I managed to find a firmware with ssv6051q drivers and I no longer need you to post these files. Please test this build - you need to boot from your existing SD card intall and upgrade using this file: LibreELEC-S805.m201d.arm-7.0-devel-20160520133017-r22954-gde0005c.tar
