bylderup If you don't mind a slower GUI, you can try to turn off GPU Turbo mode and see if it helps:
echo 1 > /sys/class/mpgpu/scale_mode

jfcruz Should be fixed now, please try again.

Can somebody explain to me why Androids 5.1.1 device tree file not working for LE 8.2.? It looks like it worked for LE 7.0 .
8.2 builds use a more recent kernel that requires an updated device tree.
-
I borrowed some kernel commits from Sam (OSMC) that supposedly fix RGB mode for Philips TVs. Please test.
This is an update from 8.2 branch so you either have to already be running 8.1.x/8.2.x or remember to use a device tree for 8.2 branch!
S905/S905X: LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2-devel-20171205194914-r26441-gdba9a67.tar
S912: LibreELEC-S912.arm-8.2-devel-20171205200850-r26441-gdba9a67.tar

Boot.ini is in the root folder of eMMC/SD card.
If you want to access it from LE, it's /flash, to modify anything you have to first remount it for read and write: mount -o rw,remount /flash
-
Device tree is provided in the same thread that you download the release from.
I honestly recommend that you use on official LibreELEC build that you can download from downloads – LibreELEC
Using an official build you don't need to worry about replacing device tree, configuring remote control etc.
-
If you want to use my community build - as far as I can tell that's what you're trying to use - you have to replace device tree on SD card, here's HOWTO with all instructions: [HOWTO + FAQ] Install community builds on S905/S905X/S912 device
This is not needed if you use official build or community build from Raybuntu.

Is it correct that 8.2.1.1 does not require a dtb upgrade if coming from the previous oct 28 8.2.0.1 build?
Only if you use the most recent 8.2 device tree for installation or when updating from previous version.
Also is LE going to auto update? I like the fact it can but do not want it to upgrade automatically.
Automatic updates should be working in 8.2.1.1 but have not been tested as there has been no update since. You can always turn off automatic update in LE Settings if you don't want your box to update.

bylderup This is caused by overheating. Temp sensor built-in the SoC may not always be accurate. In recent S912 builds CPU and GPU are set to stick to higher frequencies to work around libhybris overhead and keep GUI fluid.

Isn't the Kodi code open source?
The issue is not in Kodi but in GPU driver.
-
I am working on libhybris optimalization but have no idea whether it'll fix the issue.
-
p.s. Where can one read/get more info regarding the Mali libs to have GPU acceleration in Apps like Netflix?
I assume your question is about video playback acceleration? GPU has nothing to do with it, video playback can be accelerated by VPU. And Netflix cannot be accelerated because there is no DRM support for HW decoding in Linux.

base_08 In my builds these messages are turned off unless there's an error.
You also have to know that CEC in Amlogic 3.10 devices (such as S805) is a bit buggy and may not work with all TVs.
-
Yes, this indicates that it should be on: cecconfig=cecf
-
If the cable works fine with RPi Zero, so should it with MK808B+. U-boot probably has no meaning here. Everything cec-related is logged in kernel log (dmesg). You can also post fw_printenv | paste here so that I can see if CEC is enabled in u-boot env.
-
Also note that system partition is read-only and nothing is being written to it = no wear. You only write to it when system updates.
storage partition is where all user data resides.
-
Sounded like it is best to avoid any RKxxxx TV Boxes, unfortunately.
Avoid those with RK3368, i.e. PowerVR GPU. Others? I am unable to tell but perhaps something will show up before Leia arrives.
-
base_08 Most common reason is that mini HDMI cable supplied with MK808B+ does not have CEC pin transmitted. You have to use a different cable or a cheap adapter.
