2can Can you please test LibreELEC-A64.arm-10.0-devel-20210326183118-32b3089-pine64-plus-gpu-432-MHz.img.gz ? Only change is that GPU is now clocked at 432 MHz, which is supposed to be highest safe clock rate (nightly images run at 576 MHz and previous test image at 297 MHz). If this works, I'll open PR with fix. Please also tell how smooth/sluggish UI navigation feels.

No, not really. This is Allwinner subforum which doesn't have passtrough enabled by default. You should provide link generated by pastekodi command in that other thread.

Done, currently based on 9.95.1 - 10beta1. Please report if it works better or worse.

roel Please test Tritium H3.
Timpanogos Slim Thanks! Note that VC1 is not HW decoded (yet, HW supports it, but driver does not) and SW decoding is certainly not quick enough. Can you please disable deinterlacing during playback and see if that works better? Only supported wake up sources are power button and IR MCE remote (power button).
nema32 Thanks for bisecting! That helps very much. Only possible reason which makes sense is removal of HDMI patch from 2b6c562890b7f34449bf02faaab70b6987543f78. It changes behaviour how CEC address is set and invalidated. I thought it's not needed anymore, but obviously it is. I'll try to reimplement that part and if useful, send it upstream.
ReivaJPG Raw NAND Flash is not supported, but eMMC storage it is. Read first post for hint about installation.
2can I tested image on my Pine64 Plus and I could watch episodes without problems. However, I think issue might be in too high GPU frequency which may not work on all boards. I'll prepare test image with lower GPU clock speed.

yeah, if you don't mind being untested, currently I don't have time for testing them.

Passtrough is WIP and disabled in normal builds, check pinned topic.

how many out-of-mainline kernel features does Librelec team maintains for Allwinner H6?
hdmi audio, cedrus and suspend/resume related with some improvements here and there (display, CEC, ...). Note that important part of that is also patched ffmpeg.
is it realistic yet?
Sure, just pick most (all) patches from LibreELEC build system. That's about 100 patches for 5.10 or about 30 less for 5.11 and even less for 5.12-rc (constant mainlining process).

dropping wifi support
I don't remember having relevant driver present at any time.
It looks like 9.2.6 still supports OPi Lite.
This version has plenty of problems, that's why it was never released as stable for Allwinner. Also no fixes were backported to this version.
Can I find out which Wi-Fi chips are supported?
I don't think there is a list of supported wifi drivers. In short, all USB wifi dongles (and few SDIO) which are supported in mainline kernel should work. LE adds few more wifi drivers - LibreELEC.tv/packages/linux-drivers at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub (RTL8*). List of commercial dongle names would be far too long to list.
-
Tried Armbian too but some time the tv screen go black for a sec and then back.
This was recently fixed in mainline. Once kernel will be updated to appropriate version (very latest kernels contain the fix), it should work ok.
-
Am I missing something?
Not sure if you read first post in this topic in details:
Quote
- wifi modules without mainline driver are not supported (mostly Realtek - RTL8189ETV, RTL8189FTV, RTL8822BS, etc.)we don't want to maintain a ton of out of tree wifi drivers. As I said - you can make your own build with wifi, but driver won't be accepted in official repository.
-
Is it a matter of dts/dtb? A missing driver?
Mostly driver, but maybe dts too. I didn't check if wifi is already described in DT.
I found nothing related to this question in closed PRs on github.
Few PRs tried to add relevant driver (not OPi Lite specifically).
-
This is interlaced MPEG2 demo: http://jernej.libreelec.tv/videos/mpeg2/burosch1.mpg I'm sure you'll find more on net.
-
Any hints for places to look for?
Check closed PRs at LE repo and first post here. Each contain reason why it was rejected (and your PR will be rejected too if you'll include it).
-
If you take a look just a few posts above, you'll see memory problems on H3 board with 1 GiB of RAM... It might work for you but not in general.
-
mike2002 you should really disable windowing logging - it produces huge amount of entries which are rarely interesting. Anyway, I have no idea why out of memory happens. There is nothing specific in log...
-
Sorry, there is no plan to officially support boards with < 1 GiB RAM. There is one in nightly builds, but it won't be released as stable and it's not developed by me.
You can however try to build image yourself and even PR needed changes to official repo. Bare minimum that needs to be done is adding new entry here: LibreELEC.tv/uboot_helper at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
Note that OPi Lite was supported in my unofficial OpenELEC 7 port and AFAIK there were no issues with it (HW decoding works). LE 7 was made by someone else.

I confirm that wifi doesn't work on Pine H64... For Bluetooth I don't know.
Thanks! Bluetooth is provided by same chip, so it won't work either.
