I know that on the first page ist is written that the internal tuner will not be supported. But on page 17 kszag said he maybe would implement it if we would provide the source. Therefore, HERE is the source. I still know about what was written on the first page but it would be awesome.

Did Alex's Openelec K1 build work? If so the needed drivers are already prepped in Alex's build tree.

Even though I said LibreELEC was working fine on my MiniMX 1gb/8gb, after further testing I noticed it was running kind of slow and that's because it is using only 2 cores.

projects/S905: set default CPU governor to hotplug

As the load goes down processors are stopped and removed.

The following code should give you an idea

Code

head /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/*

Isnt VP9 only supported on s905X?

Hardware decoding requires a s905X or s912 but the s905 can software decode 720p VP9 video files.

Damn! I need help! Patching the aml_permissions() didn't work. I need the real /dev/video10 device which is probably the amlvideo device.

Jellyfish Bitrate Test Files
Could you try which one is the highest bandwidth which plays fine?

jellyfish-140-mbps-4k-uhd-hevc-10bit.mkv on my NEXBOX ultra cheap box. Note: the media must be local as the ethernet will not keep up.

Just curious: where are these PKG_ values specified in build system?

- LE bluetooth settings says it does not find adapter

- 'kszaq LE 7.0.2.003 S905/linux/linux.aarch64.conf' and 'alex OE
6.95.3.2 Amlogic/devices/MiniMX/linux/linux.aarch64.conf' differ a lot
(OE seems to have more drivers).

disable/enable the bluetooth in settings a few times. Took a few tries then it came alive. To think all this time it was 1 parameter the loader did not like.

kszaq uses a media backport package rather than the in kernel (really old kernel) media drivers so they won't show in the linux.conf. Check the /lib/modules/3.14.29 directories.

Quote from Nofan Tasi

I tested both my and your (kszaq) image (dd-ed to SDcard):
both end up with "SH: can't access tty job" and, more explicitely also "failure to mount (or find?) /dev/mmcblk0p2"
(not sure about that 2nd message, did not write it down).

The only time I recall seeing that message is when the initial ramfs fails to load the system file.

Quote

I toothpicked both again to no avail.
In any case: when I boot (alex or mine 6.95.3.2) OE from external SD then /dev/mmcblk0p2 is second (storage) partition on external SD, so I guess something relates to dtb.img.

Alex's and my builds have the partitions encoded in the kernel. Kszaq has taken a different approach. He copies the insystem dtb file into memory, patches it inmemory and sets the boot parameters based upon sdboot or not, all from within his aml_autoscript. His script has to run, you can not just load his kernel.img seperately

If you've initialized 150balbes's S905_autoscript, you should just be able to rename the aml_autoscript to S905_autoscript.

Quote from drieschel

I got Krypton (forked LE master branch) running on my S802 device. It seems to run very good but only with software decoding. The Amcodec option is there but it seems to be ignored. Does someone have an idea what the problem could be? Is this a Krypton related problem?

I remember the same from the 905, below is one of the early patches for the 905, Krypton changed the way it checked compatibility. Worth a look.
