meadrocks Don't believe the splash screen, there are fake S905X on the market using RK3229 SoC. Check system info screen in Android.

ErsFreezy Does it crash on 8.2.1.1?

I don't think there are any community builds of Kodi Leia for S805 at this point.
You also need to understand that Kodi Leia is in pre-alpha development stage and not fully usable today, although many people use preview builds on other platforms just fine.
Unless someone decides to make their own builds and share here, there won't be Kodi Leia available for S805 until it reaches Alpha stage - that's when I will start to build Kodi v18 for S805.

numbqq This is why suspend is disabled - there are too many issues with waking the device up.

ErsFreezy It looks like your box crashes on libGLES = libhybris. Can you disable automatic updates in Kodi settings, downgrade to 8.2.1.1 (simply download tar file to .update folder and reboot) and try if it works?
-
techc4i Yes, please. dmesg | paste after crash would be enough.
-
Thank you, it seems to work fine. I will check it longer and update to you later.
Will you add this solution to new official image?
When you confirm that it fixes the issue.

I see that Mauro Carvalho approved the patch series, but I see that they have implemented COMPAT specific ioctl, which puzzle me (because it would require the user space app to understand that the kernel is 64bit and call it...)
Can you point me to the compat ioctl patch you have implemented in your kernel tree?
This is the patch we are using but as I said I cannot guarantee it's 100% correct:
Userspace app doesn't have to know that kernel is 64-bit: it's kernel that should translate 32-bit calls to 64-bit (that's what compat ioctls are for!) and respond in "32-bit way".

kszaq do you think that something can be done to fix 3D playback with video output set to 4K?
No idea, sorry.
Also, I have a curiosity here: the tvheadend server (not frontend plugin) is 64 bit right? Because the mainline linux_media lack of compat_ioctl so it cannot work with 32bit userland on 64 bit kernel
No, every userspace app is 32-bit. We added compat ioctls for DVB to our kernel. And since starting to use 32-bit userspace with 64-bit kernel compats have been the biggest PITA - we still are not sure if it works correctly now.

Please try this build with an updated AP6212A firmware:
LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2-devel-20171218210303-r26477-gd8bc7f1.tar
Please note that I have no way to test it (no AP6212A box here) and WiFi might not work at all - if this is the case, simply downgrade to any 8.1.x or 8.2.x you want by placing tar file in .update folder.

kubetts LibreELEC images are not compatible with Amlogic USB Burning Tool. I can't make it work that way for several reasons, most important is that it's a proprietary Amlogic format. The only way to install is using SD card.

embrion Resolution switching works like on any other LE platform.
-
Thank you for the logs. It looks like it's a wireless chip firmware bug or it's not fully compatible with kernel driver. I'll try to look into it and get back to you with some test builds.

kubetts When I last tried booting from USB wasn't available on S805 box.

Thank you. What about material with black bars removed? Some content is not ideal 1920x1080, but 1920x(less than 1080) as black bars are sometimes cropped. Anyone? kszaq ? wrxtasy ?
At first I thought you asked about screen resolution which has to be 16:9 as 99% of modern TVs have this aspect ratio. As for non-16:9 videos, you can scale them as you please: letterbox, pan&scan, custom crop etc.

That's sad
So i have to go back to android, or buy a RPi.I didn't say it's not possible, I simply don't know.
-
I actually have a friend with the same nickname, we studied IT together. Dzięki!
I didn't study IT.
Btw, what about auto resolution/framerate switching? Only 1080p<->4K for entire S9xx line or maybe better for S905*?
In my builds S905 supports PAL, NTSC, 720p, 1080i, 1080p and 4K with various frame rates.
S912 supports 1080p and 4K with various frame rates.

Reading that it seems to work on your LE images (i'll test that later), could you tell me if it's enabled by LE specific patches (dts, kernel, kodi, alsa config ?) or should it work on any stock bsp kernel ?
I can only tell that you need to have a proper dtb configuration (like here: arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic: modify audio_pin1 and usb parameters for… · kszaq/linux-amlogic-le@15d3c8e · GitHub) and a working audio driver. I'm not sure whether SPDIF works with mainline kernel.
Would you please compile the latest version of Tvheadend? It has lots of improvments for IPTV networks.
I may look into updating TVHeadend to 4.2.5. If you are asking about TVH 4.3 I don't think I want to push a development version to virtually all TVHeadend users on my builds.
