    I only had hard problems with all the official downloads :(

    Now i tried https://test.libreelec.tv/13.0/Amlogic/box/ nightly and it even ran from sdcard :)

    Except "missing deinterlacing" and that many files start buffering at the beginning (FPS_test_1080p23.976_L4.1.mkv) or after 1st seek, it runs nearly perfect.

    Even the "demonized" "Sync Playback 2 Display" works like a charm and runs better than on ce 9.0.1 (last ce where the big blindet master developer allowed it).

    But the above mentioned 2 problems, of course makes normal usage impossible. :(

    Isnt it possible to exchange the "prime decoder" to a different video decoder only for s905 or other affected chipsets?

    "prime decoder" ??? Was it taken from amazon ?

    Now i used this edid from a sony device and it seems to work with 50 hz.

    But when i set 1920x1080@60hz with the sony file i get the "black screen for a second" problem again :)

    Would it be possible to create a small edid.bin editor?

    I mean, i think this could be the easiest way to fix problems.

    Then i use the 50hz setting from the sony file and the 60hz from the native original file.

    :)

    Yeah, now im at the point where i use the edid of my samsung tv with the integrated panel of a wyse aio thin client.

    i only use the 50 and 60 hz settings (there are more like 24hz, 25hz, 48, etc).

    it was just an experiment but it works!

    (before, on windows i was able to force refresh rate to 50hz with "custom resolution utility (cru)" on the wyse integrated panel too.

    BUT NOW libreelec gui/interface goes black or turns the screen off for a second when the machine "does smthg".

    for example. display is on and when i then hit a key on the keyboard, display goes black for a second.

    another example. display is on and when i then insert usb stick it goes off or turns black for a second.

    Another 1, is the minute of the time changed and screen turned black for a second.

    For me it looks that any kind of change on the libreelec interface causes a "screen resolution" change. :(

    BUT!!! when i playback a video file. screen remains ON till video is stopped.

    Do you have a clue what happens?

    Any way to fix this "screen off" bug?

    I think this is the only last hing that prevents me from using it. :(

    The "News Scroller" (tagesschau24, video source is 720p@50fps) isnt good in the video but in real it runs completely smooth like on a 50hz tv.

    Hello,

    now i have the edid.bin file.

    i want to change 1920x1080@60hz to 1920x1080@50hz.

    how do i do this?

    On windows i just use "Custom Resolution Utility" to add 1920x1080@50hz, and it works perfect with this device.


    And another question: Amlogic (Legacy)

    Does that mean, brand new amlogic hardware + brand new libre/coreelec, it isnt possible anymore to "force" a refresh rate?

    This Box was the best S905 and there is no official working .dtb for it?

    I used 11, 12 and 12.2 and all see is:

    Error in mount flash: mount_common: Could not mound UUID=2601-4020 ***

    When trying to boot from sd card.

    Is the SD Card reader incompatible with libreelec? Should i laugh?

    It boots from usb stick but then it boots only very sporadic.

    Like every 1 of 5 boots it starts without errors, and i can "resize" and then, next boot, again 1 of 5, till i get kodi started for the first time.

    And then, the best working gbit lan in very old coreelec, ... ... of course ... ... doesnt work in libreelec 11, 12, 12.2.

    Should i laugh again?

    Really absolutely strange behaviour for "software".

    Where have the coders learned coding? Aldi or Lidl?

    So where is the official 100% working minix_neo_u1.dtb for this very very popular and very very well spreaded old box?

    :evil::cursing:

    I have a tvheadend only mini box and kodi.bin eats ~15% in "top".

    So i did "systemctl stop kodi" and i wondered that tvh, samba, etc still worked. :)

    The question is now, what must i do to prevent kodi from being autostarted. 8o


    Ok ... found this:

    Or to disable starting kodi on boot

    Code
    systemctl mask kodi.service

    or enable it back

    Code
    systemctl unmask kodi.service

    This is the right way, or?

    I extracted the .img from: "LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-12.0.2.img.gz" to a Ventoy USB Drive and choose "run" and the settings i did inside libreelec remained after a reboot :)

    So ... I <3 U all :)

    EDIT: Anybody knows where the settings are stored? when i go to profile folder with filemanager it shows: "special://profile/"

    This is what it shows:

    But i dont find it anywhere on the usb stick or how to make the partitions bigger.

    LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-12.0-nightly-20240412-48fc90e-box.img with "wetek play 2 dtb" works on my u1. (with gxbb-p201 i have no lan and usb storage)


    But with sdcard inside the sdcardslot of the box i always get the "error in mount_flash".

    sdcard inside a sdcard to usb converter works.


    the "FPS_test_1080p23.976_L4.1.mkv" plays some seconds and then hangs with buffer symbol with enabled prime decoder. playing stuff without hardware acceleration us useless.

    some other h264 ran fine AAAAND... "SYNC PLAYBACK 2 DISPLAY" works again.

    23.976p plays at 104.271% to speedup to 25fps

    "Stats" say that "missed" is running up but video runs smooth.


    these are my 1st results. :)

    LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-12.0.0-wetek-play2.img inside a Minix Neo U1.

    Set extlinux.conf to: "meson-gxbb-p201.dtb"

    No run.

    Why?

    The Wetek Play 2 dtb also no boot.

    Just stuck at the boot logo:

    EDIT: LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-12.0-nightly-20240406-4b7642d-wetek-play2.img Also ... ... NO ... BOOT :P

    S*** Linux ... :) Minix Neo u1. very rare, unknown box :P ROFL.

    I give it up ... Back to good old super duper 9.0.1 WITH working Sync Playback 2 Display.

    EDIT2:

    One last try ... This time with LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-11.95.1-box.img @ meson-gxbb-p201.dtb

    AAAAAAAAAAAAnd of course ... Computer says ... ... No!
