MikeKL The black text seems to be a Panfrost bug, will hopefully be solved within a few days.

It looks like balbes150 used an outdated kernel config for G12 image and didn't enable sound drivers.

You can try using this image (universal image for S905 and S905X2, remember to choose device tree): (removed)

Just to report that I don't see any improvement in playback of HEVC files compared to the previous builds.

Unfortunately there have been no improvements in regards of HW decoding.

The only thing to test in the latest build is perhaps HDMI audio on S905X2 and S922X: patches are included, I cannot say if they work or not as I have no "next-gen" device.

Thanks.

I ref this post

Test LibreELEC images with KODI-18 for S9xxx

and a previous post also where the wired NIC worked with manual intervention to turn it on.

I have been unable to test any image since as no connection available in any of them.

Like I said, the fixes are not yet included in the builds from balbes150 as they require some integration work.

JohnBoyz I don't have any g12 device so I cannot tell for sure but many fixes for ethernet and audio have been upstreamed and you should see some improvement in that regard when they are integrated in the builds.

ukmark62 as far as I know Maxime - who wrote the hardware decoder implementation for mainline Amlogic - is working on an update for the decoder code. When it arrives - unfortunately I don't know when! - we will focus on tweaking the code to work better with "problematic" videos.

MikeKL Due to recent changes in LE build system a "box" option was added for a universal build to use on non-SBC targets. balbes150 decided to remove KVIM/KVIM2 specific builds as these SBCs come with a built-in u-boot (on eMMC) and can use "box" images.

sasagr I looked at the source code, it works a bit different than my old builds... Try this: keep aml_autoscript on SD card but remove s805_autoscript from it. Then boot once with SD card inserted and use toothpick method. After this the box should be able to boot from internal again and no s805_autoscript on SD card would prevent box from booting from SD.

sasagr I don't know if it's included in these builds but you can prevent u-boot from trying to boot from SD card/any external media by resetting uenv variables to default values. Run this command: fw_setenv upgrade_step 1 and reboot. If you will ever want to boot from SD card again, you will need to use toothpick/reset method.

CoreELEC: 3.14 vendor kernel and API, most (if not all) hardware features working.

These builds: testing of Work-in-progress mainline Linux support for Amlogic. Some features missing: multichannel/passthrough audio, HDR, VC1 hardware decoding...

If you want things to "simply work", pick CE. If you like experimenting and want to help in bringing mainline support, use these builds.

mikmatcr Addons should work now.

Unfortunately the redirects have not been set yet on the community server and it's nothing I can do about it, sorry. You need to wait a few days.

Please don't notify me, I am only trying to give some support but I don't provide any builds.

Temporarily please use http instead of https for downloading:

Index of /s805/8.2.3.1/

Unfortunately currently there are no plans for Kodi 18 build as I stopped releasing anything after 8.2.

Regarding audio, right now there is unfortunately only 2.0 PCM audio support for Amlogic in mainline kernel.

Developers will certainly let you know when this is improved.

afl1 Very big thank you for bringing the DVB support!

If you want support for all HW features today, you have to wait for CE to come back as they focused on implementing Amlogic-provided kernel with AMLCodec for multimedia support and most (if not all) features work.

LibreELEC focus is on mainline which will eventually come also for N2 (if there are developers working on it).

Ok, it worked with UBOOT_SYSTEM=LePotato

Ah yes, since you are using a branch from main LE repo... please note that it will change to lepotatop (lower case) quite soon.

hi balbes150 kszaq chewitt

I have a question why LE not booting with android 6 in WP2

It looks like WeTek Play 2 and Hub have some kind of security measure to not let a script from SD card modify u-boot environment and it's required to have a boot.ini file like others told you.

smp add UBOOT_SYSTEM=lepotato to build command. That way U-Boot will be built and embedded into system image.

Here is a slightly updated branch (WiP!): GitHub - kszaq/LibreELEC.tv at amlogic
