You can try running one of my builds to see if your USB tuner is supported by media_build drivers:
thread-2156.html

Internal tuner won't work in my build but you should be able to tell if there's hope to add support to your device.

S805 builds are not supposed to be booted from USB drive, only SD card.

It's not a single file, it should be a folder with 9082xs kernel driver source code. 9082xs.so from your shared folder is the kernel module that we need sources for.

djnice Almost. Still kernel driver is missing.

jd17 can you please try running the latest build from afl1 from this thread: thread-2722.html

You can safely update from one of my builds and then go back, no data wipe needed.

No, jellyfish is very specific and well playable. Try this h265 UHD examples:
- Samsung_UHD_7Wonders_of_the_World_Italy.mkv
- LG_Chess_HDR.mp4

These 2 files play 100% fine on my S905 box but not S905X.

The subtitles aren't burnt-in, you can turn them off. I have played the sample several times on Windows and there's always a frame drop when the subtitle is shown.

My laptop is Windows 7 64-bit, i7-3720QM, Intel HD 4000 and the issue can be reproduced with latest stable Kodi.

Have you tried the devel build from 2 days ago?
LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.1-devel-2017-05-05.tar

One frame skip is not bad at all, considering that the drop may have occurred at the very beginning of the file. I am constantly seeking a way to minimize frame skips but considering my lack of knowledge and how Krypton deals with video playback, it's a tedious task. I am now experimenting with some ideas that afl1 brought with his builds.

jd17 Thank you for providing sample and Kodi log. mmpp I must have missed that report of yours, I'm a busy man recently...

I have tested the file and can confirm the issue... and that it's also present when using Kodi on Windows, definitely not Amlogic-specific issue! I will see if I can escalate this. If you can reproduce on Windows, you might also want to post a bug report on Kodi forum: Kodi Community Forum - Video Support

hi kszaq whether it is possible for dvb drivers for libreelec for ferguson ariva 4k i can pay if you can't do this for free sorry for my english but im from poland

It would be very hard to do for 2 reasons:

• I don't have this device
• no drivers that can be added and used are available

As you can see from the other thread, afl1 implemented drivers for some other internal tuners but AFAIK Ferguson Arvia has different hardware: thread-2722.html

Just downloaded and installed 8.0.1j to my MiniMX. I'm using a Hauppauge Win TV HD Dual (Dual DVB-T/T2/C tuner) but sadly the CrazyCat patch introduced here : https://github.com/crazycat69/linux_medi...15c134a706 isn't in the driver build currently being used ? (It was added on Jan 5th I think)

As a result only one tuner is available, not two? Is it possible to add dual tuner suppot from this patch (or by using a newer Crazy Cat build)? The LibreElec 8.0.1 MR Raspberry Pi 2/3 release has it implemented.

My builds use 2017-04-17 version of media_build drivers, the patch should be there.

If you want the same media_build version as in official LE 8.0.1 (i.e. 2017-01-22), you can try using 8.0.1a.

Today's build to test:
LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.1-devel-2017-05-05.tar

Changes: a little bit less stuttering with problematic samples.

Seeking backwards (rewind) often results in the video freezing. I believe this first started in 8.0.0f when waiting for the buffer prefill was removed.

That's not the reason, it was re-added shortly after.

Unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce booting issues with any of my S905 nor S905X boxes. The same goes for frame skips.

My recommendation is: if you're happy with 7.0.3.012j, don't update to 7.0.3.012k.

Please login over SSH and run:

systemctl stop kodi
/usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin --standalone

Let me know what the output is.

Sorry guys, probably something went wrong during compilation. I will clean-compile 7.0.3.012k and upload it in a few hours.

Test build to fix LiveTV lipsync issue.
LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.1j-test-I.tar

Channel switching is a little bit slower to allow better a/v sync.

Playback test of high bitrate samples with 0 drops, 0 skips:

Please remember that skips are present mostly on S905X devices, not S905. Unfortunately this test version of your doesn't solve issues with S905X.

afl1, so what driver uses GDPR-1 or codesnake or LibreELEC team in their builds for play2? Or maybe You mean that for now is not possible to build version with all drivers for play 2/k1/2/media_build in one?

WP2 internal tuner driver is a pre-built kernel module (proprietary, without public sources).

Every DVB driver is a kernel module that depends on dvb-core. If you use media_build kernel modules, they depend on dvb-core from media_build. WP2 internal tuner driver is compiled with dvb-core from 3.14 kernel and not media_build and it can't be used with dvb-core from media_build. Also you can't have 2 dvb-cores loaded at once - this means you cannot use WP2 internal tuner driver together with driver from media_build for any other tuner.

Hello, kszaq,
I wrote almost from scratch a driver for the LED display of the X92 box. I was planning to adapt the old vfd driver, but ended up with throwing away 99% of the old ugly code.
The driver currently works with the latest (march 2017) 3.14 kernel, but theoretically should work with the older summer-2016 kernel you're using in LibreELEC. It provides 100% access to display functionality via sysfs - 7 levels of brightness, enable/disable, you can directly modify any bit of the display driver RAM, and also there's support for displaying characters on the 7-segment LED cells (X92 has 4 cells).

Also there's a lightweight daemon (named vfdd) which will drive the LED display. The daemon is pretty flexible and extensible. Currently it can display time, date (like [0501]), temperature (like [t43°]), use the available additional indicators to display disk activity ("USB" blinks when USB drive is read and "CARD" blinks when internal drive is read, for writes it blinks "APPS" and "SETUP" respectively).

Would it be possible to include it in LibreELEC? I can help with integration.
The current version is here: GitHub - anpaza/linux_vfd: 7-segment LED display driver for Linux based on PT6964, SM1628, TM1623, FD268 ICs

Thank you for this! Is your driver something Alex started to integrate? libreelec-8.0-aarch64-vfd
