Yes indeed it does using the CE 9.0.1 official build . I have started this Leia build from scratch i.e. not restoring to it a previous Krypton backup so that ensures I do not carry over lots of baggage from old stranded dependencies etc. ot indeed any non compatitble old addons. SO I do prefer a nice clean start with a new KODI system.

One question so far is regarding the option in the System Settings for the special configurations. What is the 4.2.2 option for. Does that option if enabled force the system to not output 4.4.4. or maybe 10 bit too and downgrade it to 4.2.2. 8 bit for equipment that cannot take 4.4.4. like many projectors etc. ?? There is no inbuilt help info on that option and it is ambigious as to what exactly it does.

I do want the full 4.4.4. HDR and 10 bit output to my fully capable TV when available. So I have recently purchased a special high quality, not cheap (about US$60), Gofanco Prophecy 2 in - 1 out HDMI 2a splitter that has an astounding 18 Gbps bandwidth capability and supports full 4K HDR and 4.4.4. chroma too. Amazingly this unit also has the means to downscale output to 1080 on just one outport port with a non UHD display or AVR attached. It has EDID editing DIL switches too for many different options to meet your needs. Works a treat, so I can now enjoy the full UHD, HDR, 4.4.4. output to my TV just about as it would be if connected directly to my TX9 Pro box, and cAn now use the HDMI connection to my non UHD/HDR Denon AVR so I can enjoy full spec high quality passthrough audio modes like DTS HD MA etc which were not available to me running the audio via FIbre Optic Toslink connection from my TV to the AVR Toslink input. This Gofanco splitter does just about all I need but not Dolby Vision HDR as yet, though there is a means to firmware upgrade these splitters so maybe a firmwware update may be released by Gofanco that can facilitate Dolby Vision in the future even in restricted to 8 bit 4.2.2. in such a high spec mode ??

So I can happily recommentd the Gofanco Prophecy splitter. Other alternatives are available of course like the SIIG almost identical high spec splitter, which I am certain uses exactly the same hardware.and has the same features but is about $10 dearer generally.

You cannot do 4:4:4 10-bit, this will actually go over the 18Gbps limit of HDMI 2.0b. You can either do 4:2:2 10/12-bit or 4:4:4 8-bit.

I actually have the below HDMI extractor because my Pioneer receiver only supports 1080p and can confirm it will work with full 18Gbps 4k HDR content and DTS-MA/True HD audio. It should support both HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

So whats the status of CE at this point with the S912 and 4k HDR content, is all the functionality there? Or am I better off staying with wrxtasy's latest LE build?

I ended up using the device tree from October 2017 which worked.

The latest versions of this build and correct device trees should be on the first post of this thread, please update.

Did you change the device tree? I got stuck at the Vorke logo when I used a wrong device tree. The latest beta device tree for S912 3gb 1000Mps is wrong (see my post further up from 25 October).

I used the following device tree from 6/18/2018 at the link below.

gxm_q201_3g_1gbit.dtb

Edit: wrxtasy can you confirm which are the correct device trees for boxes with S912 3GB mem and 1GBit Lan?

I have a Tanix T92 which I setup about 6 months ago with the most recent build from this thread at the time.I flashed LE to the internal memory. Over time I have updated and was using the 8.2.5.1-444-1000nits build most recently. I had no issues for months, then about a month ago my addons were having issues, basically no addons would work unless I rebooted the box multiple times and then at some point they would start working again. So first thing I tried was resetting all Kodi settings back to default which worked for a while, but then the issue came back. At this point I decided to just clean install 8.2.5.1-444-1000nits to the internal flash but I hit a wall. I can not get the box to boot. I tried multiple USB sticks, multiple USB ports and a MicroSD. Originally when I setup the box I used the MicroSD slot and that worked without issues. What happens is it will get stuck on the S912 logo and not go further.

I have run out of ideas at this point, so looking for some assistance. Thanks.

Which "fixes/updates" do you mean? Ask for them on CoreElec forum...

Really just looking for the full 4k HDR support.

Does anyone know if CoreElec 8.90.5 has all the same fixes/updates that wrxtasy's builds do? I was thinking about jump on that just for the convenience of auto updates.

have u got any freezes or crashes? And are u use 8.2.4.1 from wrxtasy?

No its been stable for me. I am currently using 8.2.4.2 with the audio fix.

Have anyone a TX92 or Mecool BB2 Pro with LE in internal?

When yes, how it is? Any problems?

I have a TX92 and it has been working great for a couple months now. Plays back 4k HDR content without issues. I did install LE on the internal memory.

I have a Tanix TX92 box running LE 8.2.4.1 and occasionally I will receive a pink screen at boot. If I power cycle the Tanix box it will be fine. Anyone else experience this issue? This is with a Samsung JS8500 TV.

perhaps this should be asked in the LE 8.2.4.1 thread [8.2.4.1] LibreELEC Kodi Krypton - S912 devices

I will post it over there.

Setup the Tanix T92 box this weekend and was able to get full 4k HDR working in LE without issues. Picture looks great and I also used this HDMI Splitter to get True-HD and DTS-MA to my older 1080p receiver and everything works as intended. Thanks for the help.

Only using CEC?

What about a regular IR remote?

Kind of a biggie for me...

I use harmony remotes and my C2's are behind the TV, but I would imagine it will work. Most all audio/video devices support CEC though.

hello everybody!

debating between Minix U1 and Odroid C2.

Prices for Minix has come down a bit, now it's only about $10 difference between C2 (c2+case+wifi+bluetooth+case+psu+16gb emc) and Minix U1.

Which one to buy for LIBREELEC?

THANK YOU!

P.S. 4k not needed. All my TVs are 1080p.

Display More

I have two Odroid C2's for my other 1080P Tvs and they work great with LE.

You really want a Gigabit Ethernet equipped box if intending to playback high bitrate 4K HDR REMUX's that includes lossless audio. 100M Ethernet boxes are going to struggle with getting data into the device across a limited connection.

And for that the Gigabit Vorke Z6 / Tanix TX92 is great value!

Just add a Wireless remote !

Makes for one snappy setup.

I ended up picking up the Tanix TX92 box on Amazon for $70. Thanks for the input.

Simply SPDIF is an old output and its not compatible with HD audio, I have Logitech Z-5400 AVR without HDMI port.

I can recommend Beelink GT1 for 4K HDR, it looking great with LibreELEC 8.2.2.3 on my Samsung KS7000 TV.

Thanks, I will check it out and its available. on Amazon prime which is even better.

I have Beelink GT1 2GB 16GB 1GBIT LAN

No problems with 4K HDR ~70Mbit from NFS Windows Server, DTS-MA/True-HD downsample passthrough to DTS/DD SPDIF, max temp 54C

The downsampling of DTS-MA/True-HD is that being done because your gear does not support those formats or because the box cannot output them? I have a decent audio system and would like to stream the highest audio quality possible.
