New test build: Index of /s905/8.2/test/20170817/
Things to test:
It's clearly an issue with screen resolution detection in u-boot. I can try to work this around but I don't want to break CVBS support.
S905 never set display mode in platform_init, it is done in kernel. What is your /process/cmdline?
Did you change something in that part of the firmware in comparison to the other builds?
No changes compared to 8.0.x builds.
And amiko a4 dvb-s2 on what or your version of libreelec will the dvb-s2 tuner work?
On amiko a4 demodulator m88dm6000 and tuner m88ts2022.
Not supported.
Mine died after this last update. 😟
Not possible. My builds do not touch any vital part of device firmware. I had a lot of mistakes with many boxes over the years but never bricked any of them.
RPi != Amlogic, you can't use RPi driver for Amlogic device.
edit4ever, I knew you're an expert in LiveTV on Kodi and stationed in North America. Maybe it's a little off-topic. I own a Kworld ub435-Q but it's V2 which needs Linux 3.16 to support it (whereas V1 needs only 3.14). Therefore I used it now with RPi2 with LibreELEC, which is based on Linux 4.9 or even newer. I bet it's very difficult to find ub435-q v1 now. Is ub435-q v2 also supported by LibreELEC on S905 devices?
media_build drivers mean that most of tuners that are supported in 4.13 kernel are also working with my builds.
All older builds are available at Index of /s905/old_builds
But I highly doubt you will get different results than with the most recent builds.
Another thing is that decoder microcode is closed source blob with no way to modify only a part of it. Porting whole microcode would most probably break decoding.
HPMSGEN8 You should always try to provide logs. This time I did this for you:

All my devices (S905X, S912) running Android 6 have this issue.
Unfortunately I don't have any way to contact Amlogic.
No, I can't. I need kernel source code to build LE image. Besides, Marshmallow kernel would be a step back.
Test build for "no signal" issue when playing 3D content:
Index of /s905/8.2/test/20170815/
People with RGB issue can also test it. Please use the old sysfs option to turn RGB mode on, i.e. /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb
If he shares kernel image... but then what? I don't follow what you want to do with it.
I checked Android 6.0 on my S912 box: issue is present.
Could we not compare the code for HEVC decoding on these two to identify the difference?
We don't have source code for them.
Android: Video decoder: amc-h265 (HW)
pixel format: Surface
LibreElec: Video decoder: am-h265 (HW)
pixel format: unknown
AMC is Android Media Codec which is a proxy layer between Android apps and AMCodec.
Could you give me a command to identify this revision?
The only way I know is to ask firmware provider.
3.14.29 in no way identifies kernel git revision, it is a base for all S9xx Amlogic kernels.
First of all you need to confirm that "Android Kodi" uses HW-accelerated decoding. You should also try the built-in Media Player app and not Kodi.
Second thing is that Amlogic modifies their decoder from one kernel release to another and it's quite possible that the issue was not present at some point. "Android on S912" tells nothing if you don't know kernel revision it was built from. You can try using 8.0.x builds to check if the issue is present.
