Thank you - do you know how to flash these if LibreELEC is on internal?
My Mini M8S II was shipped December 28th 2016...
I don't know if there were any newer hardware revisions...?
You can flash your box with USB Burning tool even if LE on it.
Mine shipped Nov 10, 2016. I don't think there were different revisions...
Display MoreWell that's disappointing to read.
I bought this board, because of wanting more power for and within Kodi.
If this power is used as CPU Load because of lacking support of Amlogic,
to have "not really much more power" instead of getting this power on the road...
Amlogic should think about these companys building TV boxes and I think these are their main customer of their chips.
If these boxes have less performance than a rpi2 but advertising them as Hardware monsters...
without getting this power in OS/applications..
The boxes are senseless, damned to be bricked after the customer experienced the difference to a rpi it...
Really? What more power do you need?
The S905X can play UHD BD with DTS HD Master audio at about 10% cpu load.
The Raspi 3 only can play FHD video but even for that you have to buy some codec for it.
It's out of the box, but you can check and fine tune all the CEC setting in settings, input, peripherials.
Why don't you try it by yourself? If you don't like LE just remove the card and you are back to android.
Not so much people has >20TB media...
Display MoreHi,
Almost any movie/tv series I tested, the Audio is being identified in the receiver as 7.1 PCM also for 5.1 (info on the file is correct )
Very few DD 5.1 were identified properly
No HD audio at all
Perhaps something in the settings?
H96 Pro +
Thanks for all the good work!
Check your audio settings, enable pasthrough for all the formats.
All the HD audio works here.
First thing I would try to change the power adapter. Some box comes with awful ones...
The official firmware is v1.15 (2017.06) Yandex.Disk I haven't tried it because I flashed LE to my box.
On 4pda there is an android 7.1 image too.
jd17: I tried Testing7 with your Samsung demo and it plays fine. I watched 3 times from 30-40 cm distance and can't see those artifacts or flickers as you described. So it should be your device.
The only fault was the top of the rainbow around 1:10 and one horizontal line around 1:24 on the left of the sky.
The interesting thing is the devel20170430 LE 7.0.3 could play very similar.
It plays fine all the BT2020 videos at least on my non HDR tv. All the LE 8 kszaq version plays them washed out, bad black-level.
Further experimental AML S912 updates using John's amlogic-3.14-y-Nougat Kernel and Kodi Leia Alpha1:
The 3GB S912 modded device trees are now included in the following directory:
I tried on a H96 Pro 3gb but it cannot start.
Error in mount_storage: mount_common Could not mount LABEL=LIBRELEC_DISC
Is there OK if the fat partition only contains kernel and system and the dtb I copied?
I mean no aml autoscript or s905 autoscript needed?
Edit:
I tried with autscripts from kszaq's LE912 without success...
I'm posting this here instead of starting a new thread simply for those that want to test John's Nougat-WIP Kernel on AML S912's
Its a very early LibreELEC 9.x Kodi Leia Alpha that is subject to much experimentation and change, hence no point publishing source at this very early stage.
Kodi video playback does work pretty well having said that, I'm using a S912 - MINIX U9.
Can we use kszaq's dtbs for this build?
I need gxm_q200_3g.
I just want to say thank you for your work.
I can play the BT.2020 movies with testing1 version with normal contrast and black level now even on my non HDR capable tv.

Display MoreI created an sdcard with 8.0.2a for my Tronsmart Vega S95 Meta - S905 2G/8G 1Gb eth.
Everything seems to be working very well. So I installed to internal.
Then I realised that I had not used/placed a device tree file on the card
Everything seems to be working great from internal - no stuttering/problems etc.
However I am unclear as to the device tree my installation is actually using and whether I should reinstall 8.0.2a with the "correct" device tree (gxbb_p200_2G_1Gbit.dtb).
Any thoughts?
The default dtb contains that dtb so you don't have to worry.
Display MoreNothing is OK in either case!
BT.2020 is not passed, but being output as BT.709. The colors are not properly mapped.
HDR10 is not properly converted to SDR.
10-Bit is only being converted to 8-Bit.
Jarvis might look better than Krypton for you, but it is far from how things are supposed to look!
So why do you bother with a dubious HDR capture on a non-HDR display, when there is a perfectly fine Blu-ray out there?
What is the benefit?!
The Blu-ray will be displayed 1:1 as it is supposed to be.
However, nothing in the UHD file is being displayed as it is supposed to be.
You have no idea what are you talking about...
Just compare Planet Earth II BD and Planet Earth II UHD BD rip.
Thank you!
Could I find it in the git source?
Is it just me or the boot is really faster if I put the oemsplash.png?
There is no android (S905X) logo and no Kodi logo if I put it and the box starts about 17 seconds now.
Where can I find the original LE logo?
But as was already explained to you, the difference does not come from BT.2020 but mainly from the (lack of) HDR to SDR conversion.
You should just not watch HDR content on a non-HDR display.
A normal Blu-ray, mastered to BT.709, will always look better on a non-HDR display than an unnecessary conversion (which is not intended).
Especially considering that this can only be a capture, there is no way to circumvent AACS 2.0, at least not yet.
Have you seen the pictures I uploaded?
As I wrote many times, BT2020 videos ARE OK ON JARVIS even on a non HDR display. They look bad only on Krypton.
Please post MediaInfo video information for those videos in question.
Latest Jarvis and latest Krypton are currently both running on the Marshmallow Kernel - there should be no difference whatsoever.
I've uploaded a sample it is BT2020 video.
And there is difference that's why I took the pictures of my tv screen,
