LE is currently built around the assumption of being installed on an IPv4 device behind a NAT gateway in a domestic/home network. As a result you should assume there is only partial support for IPv6 in the OS. In fact i'm surprised there is any, as last time I actually looked it was mostly disabled everywhere. You are welcome to make suggestions on improvements, but AFAIK none of the core team have access to IPv6 networks to validate any suggestions that are made. Things that appear (or not) in the settings GUI could simply be things that didn't exist in connman when the settings add-on was originally written in 2012/2013 so it's worthwhile cross-referencing with connman documentation and the "connmanctl" utility. If you make changes via connmanctl they will be persistent.

Aroosha… Thanks a ton for your help, this is exactly what I was looking for. I had been looking all over for stuff, but it seems everyone that has a good 4k build always has the Caveat "will support 8bit, not 10bit" etc... going to look into this odroid-n2 and CoreElec today.
your welcome, just keep in mind that ODROID-N2 is new and very powerful platform but not mature enough, and lots of things in progress like its open source GPU driver. hear list of things works and does not work with new ODROID-N2. Odroid N2 test builds(click)
Display MoreCode- What works:
- Booting from eMMC/SD
- DVB (USB only)
- Hardware decoding
- HDR (HDR10 and HLG formats)
- Network
- Sound - (including passthrough, see below. If using passthrough, select the HDMI output)
- What doesn’t work:
- Automatic color space/color depth switching (aka cs/cd)
- LPCM multichannel passthrough
- What still has issues:
- DD+ passthrough with certain AVR’s
- Playback stutters with 59.94/60fps content

As far as i know there is no 4K 10bit HDR support in any Intel, Amd, Nvidia, x86_64 platform yet when using Linux, LibreELEC. You need to understand that Linux is still evolving support for HDR but development and migrating to modern Linux kernel are in progress and soon you will have many option to choose like new ODROID-N2 with amlogic S922X chip. my advise is for know look for temporary solution like cheap S905D with Gigabit Ethernet or more pricey Apple TV 4K running the MrMC App. you can find more information hear-4K HDR10 - State of Play thread - important media player limitations (click).

As far as i know the HDMI port of
this NUC only support the older 1.4a standardso you can't get refresh rate beyond 30 HZ in 4k resolution. An HDMI 2.0 output can be added via converter from DisplayPort to get 60 HZ refresh rate output, but i don't know whether this will work in Libreelec or not. -
You can change Tvheadend default recording path by login in its web interface, usually by interning your box ip:9981 in your web-browser i attached a picture below so you can change it easily.

Display MoreI have a tv box meecol KI pro (amlogic s905d), and I have a problem with tv heandend with the drivers,
any configuration guide? currently it comes out as if it had no driver installed, and used this guide [8.2.3.1] LibreELEC 8.2 for S905/S905X = 1
and configured all tv headend, but when I go to controller-dvb they do not appear.
any solution ?
I also have a problem with the internet, I can not connect via ethernet, via wifi connects perfect
Thank you
Perhaps you are using the wrong device tree,. download the device tree that suitable for your device and rename it to dtb.img then Copy and replace the renamed file to main folder of SD card. if you need proper help from forum members please provide full Kodi log as described.

Well you should ask this question from yourself before buying this device. Does this device support by libreelec? I think chewitt can clarify your situation.
-
This Sundtek MediaTV Pro and this DVB-C USB Devices may help you. check it out.
-
Weird... It does have Gigabit Ethernet so therefor I was thinking it could not be the normal s905. ..
Ohwell... Back to the drawing board
This may help you vcrrr . Mecool KI PRO

As far as i know Minix U1 has outdated S905 soc not the x variant. which can not decode HDR colors correctly and the result are washed out colors. you should buy tv box with S905X/D soc also S905X doesn't have Gigabit Ethernet. the S905X/D has newer VPU which can decode VP9 videos too.
-
Well as far as HDR is your concern none of libreelec supported Amlogic socs can produce true HDR video nor kodi krypton is ready for that. HDR formats composed of many different parts, per pixel brightness metadata, wider color gamuts and more colors(aka 10,12 bits colors ) In other words, they're brighter and more colorful. none of libreelec supported Amlogic socs can do all aspect of HDR at the same time for example S905x soc you mentioned above output 8bits colors instead of 10 and produce fake HDR.

-
Well ODROID C2 can decode 4k HEVC content with ease but keep in mind 4k without HDR is useless because most of 4k content available today are paired with HDR and has wider color gamuts which s905 soc can't decode correctly and the result is washed out colors. s905x/D soc can't output true 10bit colors depth and s912 doesn't support officially by libreelec. if you need true 4k HDR whether you should wait for new Amlogic soc or buy Apple tv 4k.

How much does it 'actually' actually matter? I have a S912 (MINIX U9) and although I don't have a S905 device to compare with, I don't think you can get any better than that at the moment. With such a big size of a 4K + HD audio movies (for example), you practically/eventually have to store 'em on external storage to stream. Does it really worth having a better video driver and not gigabit? The total experience will be probably even worse?
-San
Well if you are happy with your device and it fills your needs that's fine. we all want to have the most powerful hardware but in linux universe having the most powerful hardware does not necessary translate to superior experience. in this case S912 soc is superior in every aspect but it crippled by its driver. there is no official linux driver for this soc and everything's works with hacks will eventually stop working, user reports several issue like subtitle rendering and so on while using s912's devices in LE. nobody knows the feature if V4L2 and 3d driver release for this devices they become perfect. and if the Gigabit Ethernet is your concern s905D has a Gigabit Ethernet and you can add usb2 Gigabit Ethernet to any s905x devices.

I was all ready to pull the trigger on a s912 based device but saw wrxtasy comment down the bottom. I don't intend to use the device for netflix but have plenty of h264 720 and 1080p content. Based upon the sticky I thought this would play OK.
From below this appears to not be the case?
Thanks!
you are wrong, wrxtasy comment is about Netflix adaptive streaming, if I'm not mistaken (correct me if i'm wrong) there is no hardware acceleration for netflix adaptive streaming available in LE/kodi/addons for now, your h264/265 720/1080/4k content play fine without any problem in s912 based device.

Oh joy. Thanks for the info. Seems like I should wait until the next version of the AMLogic Linux Kernel or wait for Apple to add Atmos to the ATV4K.
Any ETA for the new kernel and LE?
No ETA for now, the critical part of SOC for new kernel remain untouched like Video Decoders and DVB TS Input , you can check the mainlining progress for Amlogic Meson SoCs hear Meson SoCs. I hope things get done before S9XX become obsolete, because new amlogic socs on the horizon.
one more thingVarious forks of Kodi are available for different platforms, For apple's tvOS you can use this fork of kodi MrMC, also there is an effort to brings Kodi v18 Leia to apple's tvOS and sooner or later this will happen. My advice is, stick to your odroid C2 and ATV until new kernel available for s9XX or something come up with HDMI 2.1.

Actually last I heard only the AMLogic S912's have a true 10bit tunnel from source video to output. Not sure about the S905X.
This info was from Baylibre, the guys that are mainlining the AMLogic S9xx Linux Kernel.
For sure you have the best knowledge about it. but i read it from one of chewitt post.
