Do You have any idea where is the problem or maybe You have some system images with working Tvheadend correctly?
Addons are not my domain. However, Kodi was recently updated, together with addons. Try now. Bear in mind that this is all alpha quality, addons may be broken too...
What is the proper way to edit the dtb file ?
You're doing it correctly. However, as I said, I never used spdif. Little more digging revealed that you also have to add:
sound_spdif {
compatible = "simple-audio-card";
simple-audio-card,name = "On-board SPDIF";
simple-audio-card,cpu {
sound-dai = <&spdif>;
};
simple-audio-card,codec {
sound-dai = <&spdif_out>;
};
};
spdif_out: spdif-out {
#sound-dai-cells = <0>;
compatible = "linux,spdif-dit";
};note, best place to add above nodes is right behind connector node.
Just out of curiosity, I there a specific reason for not activating spdif in the default dtb file provided in the image ?
We are following mainline kernel rules - whatever is not present on the board is not enabled in DT. In this case, there is no spdif connector on board, so it's not enabled by default. Long term idea is to add support for overlays - small pre-compiled patches for DT, you would just list those you want in config file (similar to RPi). We are not there yet...
Could you please share a link to a bug at whatever issue tracker you use?
Why do you assume we are using issue tracker? 
Anyway, for this particular issue there is bug report ([BUG] /usr/share/kodi/addons/service.libreelec.settings/oe.py/oe.py raise exception · Issue #4563 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub) but not much is happening, at least publicly.
Personally, I use OPi One with the MythTV pvr plugin (for playing HEVC DVB-T2 recordings) and it usually works reasonably satisfactorily.
If you do that skip the Orange Pi Zero (H2+), since the composite out support is missing in mainline (unless someone with the knowledge wants to work on that of course).
First board was merged today - BananaPi M2 Zero. I won't do anything regarding those board - if someone wants to have it in master, he/she must open PR on github.
BTW, composite output shouldn't be hard to support on H3. If there is enough interest, I can port old Icenowy patches.
I'm considering changing policy regarding boards with less than 1 GiB RAM - they would be accepted in main repo and thus nightly images would be available. However, support for them would be provided by community - I will ignore issues reported on those boards.
What do you think?
it works until it tries to load LibreELEC addon for Kodi
yeah, known problem. I can't say when it will be fixed, though.
The problem is that I have not managed to install a frontend or make the emulationstation work,
retroarch or zack morris ...
Could someone help me install it on the kodi ??
Kodi has just been updated. You have to wait few days until addons are updated in repo or build them yourself.
One thing I am missing however, and prevents me from drooping my old openelec setup, is the ability to use pin PA17 (available on pin 4 of camera connector) for spdif audio.
SPDIF driver is available but I didn't test it at all (no appropriate device). You would have to edit dtb file - find spdif node and replace status = "disabled"; to status = "okay"; Note that this file will get overwritten every time you update.
That worked, thanks, i was able to boot now!
Hm... That shouldn't really change anything, except, maybe, slow down boot just a bit. And update process will print data on serial instead on screen from now on (due to removal of "console=tty1").
Can't get Pine64 to boot with any of the images,
Your board has 1 GiB of RAM, so you should use pine64-plus image. Only real difference is in network configuration.
Anyway, I just tested LibreELEC-A64.arm-9.80-nightly-20201027-b2ff85b-pine64-plus.img.gz image and it works fine on my pine64 plus (2 GiB RAM) board.
and get the same error:
Unfortunately, these errors are a bit misleading. Driver gets re-loaded later and succeeds, so these errors are always visible, even when boot works fine.
What you should do is to remove "quiet" and "console=tty1" from extlinux.conf file. That way you will get full output on serial.
I only want a ALL WORKING image of LibreELEC for my Orange Pi Lite 2. I buyed a week ago and cannot make it work. Wifi and Bluetooth doesnt work
Currently WIFI can't be configured due to upgrade to Python 3.8... I imagine bluetooth has same issue.
Last images can be found here: Index of /images/a20/
They are build from GitHub - LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv at 93e40294ead3fc8023389903a3179ecc7ca40b11
The only other place I know is Index of / , but I can't find it there. If you got it there, I guess they already delete it (why though?).
That place is maintained by scripts. Images gets deleted when build job is started and uploaded when building is finished. Given that there is no more A20 port in master, images were only deleted.
I plan to build and upload latest available images before the support was removed. I'll link it here.
Guys, I'm considering removing A20 support from master branch, which would also mean no more nightly images and certainly no stable images once LE10 is released. I tested olinuxino micro A20 board today and there is a ton of kernel related issues. In order to fix them I would need to spend considerable amount of time studying various HW cores which I don't want (A20 HW is pretty different in comparison to any other currently supported AW SoC).
Observerd issues:
- HDMI audio driver crashes at resolution switch
- HDMI audio sometimes doesn't work
- HDMI EDID is sometimes read incorrectly (fall back to 1024x768 and no audio)
- HW video decoding crashes (out of memory) during interlaced H264 video playback
- after playback, Kodi GUI may become corrupted (GPU driver issue? Kodi bug? who knows)
In my opinion, above issues make images unusable, except in some not so common cases. Additionally, SoC is very weak and memory has limited bandwith. Even a bit newer H3 is much better supported and has none of the described problems.
If there is someone who wants to fix above and possibly other issues, I will be glad to keep A20 port alive or resurrect it later.
No, because there is no appropriate driver for GPU. If you can find GBM version, then image probably can be make.
Is this already being worked on?
I think so but I can't say for sure.
Is there any issue or pull request where I can follow the progress?
None that I know.
Iif there isn't kodi_crashlog*.log file, then it's not Kodi crash per-se but more like addon crash or something wrong with addon manager. I would suggest you wait on Kodi update. IIRC there were some addons manager changes recently. I can't really say, I'm not expert for addons...
I would upload a working image to a file sharing service (for the newbies) but I'm not sure if that's against the forum rules or not. Can I do that? If I'm permitted to do that I will edit the post accordingly.
You can if you follow community build rules (just few common sense rules).
Is there anything I can do to provide more info about those issues (password and addons)? Is it possible for me to somehow help with bug fixing?
Wifi password issue is known and it's due to update to Python 3.8. In order to fix it, part of LE settings addon has to be rewritten and it's actually strange that it worked so long (dbus library used by addon was deprecated long time ago). However, this will take some time. Two possible workarounds - build your own image with downgraded python or set up wifi over ssh (I believe it can be done with connmanctl, but I'm not 100% sure)
Regarding youtube - I don't know what is the issue, I don't test addons (way too many of them). I know that Kodi update in nightly images is right around the corner (PR is already open)) and it may solve the issue. However, it may be that addon is not at fault - I get occasional crashes on OrangePi 3, when I start playback of video file. I was unable to debug it for now. But I don't see any issue on Tanix TX6, which is also H6. I'll invest some more time into this but I can't say when.
BTW, crashlog you posted is missing actual Kodi crashlog. Can you retrieve it from /storage/.kodi/temp ?
BTW this XviD plays on this very old firmware smoother than on the latest.
Possible. Note that there is zero guarantee about performance of SW decoded video.
2. Now I have the following problem: the tv remote doesn't work. I think the CEC settings may have been deleted. Is there a way to reinitialize the CEC settings?
Nothing in the logs, I'll test images with TV a bit later...
Well, I have removed the links and I still get it.
Let me rephrase it. If you include links to external sites, it's very likely your post will be put in moderation queue. It seems that you almost always post link to some kind of log...
