Well, actually you just have to modify the PKG version and the hash in the

LibreELEC.tv/package.mk at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

file, as I've written above, and basically that's all.

I can, but I don't have access to the project.

Could you add me ? trex2000 is the git user.

Yes thats correct

Ok. So I've built the addons with the following modifications in the mk file:

replaced:

PKG_VERSION="466edd3"

PKG_SHA256="786aab192a788fd09119645d60576ba258eec3de1a455aaa6d9ddea5e30e1749"

with

PKG_VERSION="4a6498a"
PKG_SHA256="7388b338c2dca0e2b6d97cf7b573d8c2b0ee0338e02887fc8068fa19fb53ea52"

in the mk file.

I've tested it using the PT6314 VFD display and it's working correctly. I did not test with other lcds, but the modification were tested by another lcdproc developer who made also changes for the Winstar OLED display. So I would say it's safe (or at least not less safer than previous version) to use this newer one.

Could you add the modifications to the mk file ?

Code

PROJECT=.... scripts/create_addon lcdd

It will create a zip file with all the binaries which you can directly install in kodi.

Oh Damn..

I took the example from the Kodi Wiki and I'm trying to build it with these:

PROJECT=Odroid_C2 ARCH=aarch64

So I saw that this built the 64 bit binaries..

What's the correct way to build it to be compatibile with your media_builds with 32 bit user space ? Like this:

PROJECT=Odroid_C2 ARCH=arm

?

These are the values you need to adjust, then build lcdd/LibreELEC from scratch. If it fails you need to check what changed or fix some compile issues with a patch. Test your changes. If they work you can open a PR on github.

Ok, I've changed the mk file of lcdd so it should now check out a version which is supposed to have my updates. Then I've built libreelec from git, also uncommented in the scripts/image folder the part where it deletes the temporary folders (at the end of the script).

But now i cannot find where exactly is the binary built. I know it created the tar and the img files, but I see in them only the KERNEL and SYSTEM image.

I would like to take only the lcdd binary and replace it with my existing installation to see if it works. I don't want to reflash now everything, as my odroid is built in a case and it's kinda hard to take everything apart.

Any help ?

Thanks.

I'm not very familiar with git. I just use it the dumb way:

pull, push, merge, rebase, commit

:))

So what's a package bump and how should I create it ?

Recently I've contributed with an update to lcdproc together with another user to support a different type of OLED display and a VFD display.

I saw that it's not yet in the new builds.

The build toolchain Isn't supposed to get the latest sources from the github from this repo ?

GitHub - lcdproc/lcdproc: Client/server suite for controlling a wide variety of LCD devices

?

Not really. Generally those ancient AML kernel usb drivers are buggy as hell. Never had very stable USB on C2.

Let's hope then they finally bring the the 4.x kernel to usable state...

nope. But hoped it will be solved. Any ideas why I am experiencing this behavior?

Forgot to mention, the hubs had separate supply input.

So, regarding USB, I have 2 problems from the beginning, since I've switched to Odroid C2 from Raspberry:

1)

I have 2 tv tuners, Sundtek SkyTv and Dvbsky S960. They both work fine for 1-2 days, afterwards I'm getting continuity errors in tvheadend every couple of seconds. This usually means there is a transport error of the stream, as I've understood from several forums. A restart solves the issue.

2) I cannot manage to get any usb hub to work. I've tried with 3 different hubs, which do work on other systems, but here, as soon as I connect it, the Dvbsky tuner stops working and none of the devices (usb dongle for remote control) works. Also the hub is not recognized, complaining about some usb commands failing. I will get back with traces, but now it's disconnected. The devices do work properly if connected directly to the Odroid.

We can exclude power supply problems, as I have an 5A supply, measured with scope and the DC level is stable, power consumption is around ~1.5A with odroid, lcd and both tuners running.

Oh, and one more question:

What's the benefit of using 32 bit userspace ?

Just a short question: would it be possible to suppress these messages? They fill up the log and in my opinion they are not so much of a use on daily basis:

Oct 09 13:49:55 LibreELEC kernel: thermal thermal_zone0: temp:60000, hyst:5000, trip_temp:85000, hot:0
Oct 09 13:49:55 LibreELEC kernel: CPU1: Booted secondary processor

It’s strange anyway...

Yes, I've just installed his image.

Tried both:

Index of /s905/8.2/8.1.10-rc1

and also previous one:

8.1.9.

Same issue.

Do you need some additional logs , traces ?

Yes, I've installed this:
