Quote from quitroot

it's could be nice if the remote control for ki pro would work without place the remote.conf file

I already said that it's hardly possible due to no proper remote.conf on Android side. I can't place remote.conf for that one device in a generic build as this would break remote control for others. Once you install LE and place remote.conf in config folder, it stays there forever. I think it's not too hard to do this only once.

RedCat Please read the changelog and my previous answer.

**kszaq** · [8.0.2e] LibreELEC 8.0 for S905/S905X **kszaq** July 20, 2017 at 8:02 AM

Web browser is available only for "Generic", i.e. x86_64. Not for ARM/aarch64.

dazed I will look into moonlight issue later today.

RedCat I am using latest kernel version from johngalt with some additional improvements but they are not related to display.

**kszaq** · [8.2.3.1] LibreELEC 8.2 for S905/S905X **kszaq** July 19, 2017 at 10:15 PM

If you're booting from SD card all you have to do is replace dtb.img now.

**kszaq** · [8.2.3.1] LibreELEC 8.2 for S905/S905X **kszaq** July 19, 2017 at 10:10 PM

I think you should carefully read the OP, most importantly a note that you have to update device tree.

**kszaq** · [8.2.3.1] LibreELEC 8.2 for S905/S905X **kszaq** July 19, 2017 at 9:40 PM

Please report any regressions from 8.0 builds. I was able to do only some basic testing, things are looking good so far. Detailed reports and PRs welcome.

**kszaq** · [8.0.2e] LibreELEC 8.0 for S905/S905X **kszaq** July 19, 2017 at 9:35 PM

For those interested, I uploaded a first preview 8.2 build with Nougat kernel: [Testing] LibreELEC 8.2 for S905/S905X

**kszaq** · [8.2.3.1] LibreELEC 8.2 for S905/S905X **kszaq** July 19, 2017 at 9:33 PM

DISCONTINUED: These builds will no longer be updated but you are welcome to use them!

LibreELEC 8.2 for Amlogic S905/S905D/S905X devices.

Read this first: [HOWTO + FAQ] Install community builds on S905/S905X/S912 device

Important notes:

These are unofficial, community supported builds so please post all bugs/issues in this forum area only.
Bug reports will no longer be looked into as the build is discontinued.
~~I work on these builds in my free time. I also don't know a lot of things so please be kind and patient if you encounter any bugs.~~
Bugs? Read this first: ~~[READ FIRST] Reporting bugs~~
I'd like to thank johngalt for lots of work on improving Nougat kernel to a very usable state!

Note on downloads:

for Odroid-C2 download image with -C2 suffix
for LePotato download image with -LePotato suffix
for every other device use image without suffix...
..unless you are experiencing freezing: then use -temp_sensor_disabled version
If upgrading from 7.0/8.0 builds remember to update the device tree!

If you forgot to use a new device tree or used wrong one and your device doesn't boot:

don't panic!
if booting from SD/USB, simply connect SD/USB to your computer, download a proper device tree, rename it to dtb.img and place on SD/USB
if booting from internal:
1. Boot this build from SD card or USB with correct device tree.
2. Login over SSH and execute dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dtb bs=256k count=1 then dd if=/flash/dtb.img of=/dev/dtb bs=256k
3. Power off, remove SD/USB, boot from internal.

Known issues and important notes:

SAMBA/SMB/Shared folder issues? Read this blog post first
Manual updates in LibreELEC Settings don't work
Built-in DVB tuners are supported only for "K" series devices and WeTek Play 2. For "K" series I use driver from afl1 with some modifications, please do not report issues with the driver to him! If you want support, please use builds from afl1.
9082xs driver is now included but because it doesn't come with source code, there is absolutely no support for it!
4K support is experimental.
3D and HDR are not supported, i.e. they might work but I don't provide support.
CEC might not work when your box has incompatible u-boot or your TV is not that well supported by Amlogic low-level CEC driver.
External DVB tuner support is experimental via media_build drivers from CrazyCat69.

belliash I hope to have a test 8.2 build this week. Unfortunately I have no time to work on 8.0 + 8.2 in parallel.

Quote from ozkaradag

Greetings,

I set up your image last week, then I connected the TBS 5990 USB Tuner. TBS5990 QBOX CI DVB-S2 TV Tuner USB -External TV Tuner Box for Laptop and PC

The TVHeanded System recognized the card, I set up the DVB-S cable tuning to the tuner, but the signal seems to be disturbed, ie the channel did not open.

What could be the problem?

Or what can I do?

Best regards...

I'm afraid I cannot help you, as stated in first post: external tuner support is experimental. Maybe crazycat has an idea what might be wrong?

Quote from belliash

I understand, but its really hard to use it without remote control.

Actually I cannot get it working even with meson-ir as irrecord does not catch anything.

I understand you issue and I'm sorry that my very first build for Odroid-C2 is not perfect. For the time being please switch to Raybuntu's build, you can upgrade to his build without wiping your data if you execute touch /storage/.update/.nocompat before upgrading.

**kszaq** · [8.0.2e] LibreELEC 8.0 for S905/S905X **kszaq** July 18, 2017 at 6:26 PM

I'm slowly working on 8.2 build with Nougat kernel, it should have working LIRC. I can't give you an ETA, too much more important things to do recently.

1) Could you include PVR addons? I miss them very much. Without them Kodi is not usable for me.

All addons from official LE repo are available to download, including PVR addons.

Quote from belliash

2) Could you also include GPIO based IR driverfor C2 (en:c2_lirc [ODROID Wiki])?

I have that on my todo list. The driver is forward-ported to media_build, now I need to port pinmux patches.

Quote from edit4ever

Have you checked the bandwidth setting? I believe Australia uses a 7Mhz bandwidth.

I have access to one 7MHz DVB-T mux and it doesn't work with the driver we have.

Quote from plikmuny

OK, I will. I am also happy that you are close to releasing a new build. Why did you take off the download link? Let the enthusiasts try your development build?

The build was not meant for public testing, it was a copy for my update tests. When I have something for public tests, I will post it here.

Quote from ukmark62

I raised an issue a few weeks back on post # 3,633

I'm sorry but without a sample I am unable to look at the issue. Maybe you'll be more lucky with future 8.2 build with Nougat kernel.

**kszaq** · Moonlight Addon Amlogic **kszaq** July 17, 2017 at 6:12 AM

Can you guys try using moonlight built from the latest git versions - the package is for S905, 8.0.2d and 8.0.2e only:

script.moonlight-8.2.106.zip

**kszaq** · [8.0.2e] LibreELEC 8.0 for S905/S905X **kszaq** July 16, 2017 at 11:36 PM

No addons, not tested, no support = no anonuncement. You can try if you really want.

If I could answer that question, this thread would have been solved long time ago.
