Digitalis One is not supported here because it has less than 1 GiB RAM and currently I don't have time to do memory optimizations.

lumpi now and then I do a new H5 build, but current issue is that Lima for some reason doesn't work well in combination of sun4i-drm driver (DE2 part) and Kodi. For example, Lima works with A20, which has DE1. Interestingly, Panfrost works with H6, which has DE3, and Kodi (DE3 uses mostly the same code as DE2). Someone would need to do thorough test Lima on A20, but last time I tried, it crashed in menu after a bit of playing. But Lima fixes are coming in every week, so I'm optimistic this will be sorted out soon.

Thanks, I'll take a look but not promises when. I thought I fixed all such issues, but I guess I missed a spot.

currently there is a bug in Kodi regarding addon repositories which should be solved soon: Nightly images where Addons?

Digitalis if you are talking about boot.scr and script.bin, then you probably working with old kernel (3.4) and OpenELEC, which isn't supported at all.

I'd like to test the update too. How do I install it?

That is already included in latest nightlies. Proper update folder is /storage/.update - you just put .tar or .img.gz file into it and restart. But be aware, do nice restart (via Kodi menu) otherwise you might corrupt filesystem or more specifically, update file.

What can A10 in theory achieve? Compared to lets say an H3?

Not much. This is more about making boards useful again.

Support for A20 was merged in LibreELEC master. Nightly images are already available. Please discuss A20 in Nightly images for A20, A64, H3 and H6 boards from now on. A10 should be still discussed here.

Support for Allwinner A20 was merged in master. Nightly images are already available. A20 HDMI audio support will hopefully come in January.

Yes, I just removed LibreELEC.tv/0003-hdmi-improvements.patch at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

Can you try Tanix TX6 image? AFAIK it should work on that box.

I didn't test on H603 because I don't have any such board, but my understanding is that it's more or less same as H6, just lower maximum frequency and no Gigabit ethernet support. I highly doubt they change anything in the HDMI controller itself. It's more likely that CEC source clock is not set correctly. You are sure that you have CEC enabled on your TV? On every TV I used I had to enable CEC first...

Image for Cubieboard2 based on my A20 PR: libreelec-a20.arm-9.80-devel-20191229134424-9bca1fb-cubieboard2.img.gz

which image are you using? Anyway, without having box here it's hard to fix things. Does CEC work on LE? It should...

P.S.: It might be also Kodi issue, it's in pre-alpha state.

it contains this potential fix: drm/sun4i: sun8i-hdmi-phy: Fix H6 PHY settings · jernejsk/linux-1@8c3e6bc · GitHub

it can run on a OpiPC with Armbian running a mainline 5.3?

you would at least need to patch kernel and ffmpeg with patches included here. But kernel patches are for 5.4.

Better yet, would it even run under X?

Doubtful, but with above changes you may be able to build it for GBM platform (no window manager).

Can you test this update? libreelec-h6.arm-9.80-devel-20191227220258-b814aab.tar

riku Some Python issues should be solved with next Kodi update, but I don't know when what will happen nor if that will help solve your issues.

besit changes are already merged and fix will be available in next nightly image.
