I have some problems on a Pine64 Plus to get the IR working.

Did you enable it in DT file? Anything that it isn't soldered on the board it's not enabled by default. Currently you have to decompile DT file, search for IR node, change status = "disabled"; to status = "okay"; and compile it. Note that change will be lost if you update your image.

Better solution exists (DT overlay), where you would change just one line in config file (similarly to RaspberryPi) and it would be persistent through updates, but it needs more work in LibreELEC build system.

shahidali55  jdpc I added one additional fix for HDMI audio, maybe it will help, please test (H3 update): libreelec-h3.arm-9.80-devel-20190903205119-128937b.tar

OrangePi 3 is certainly supported as I regularly test it, but H6 platform is not so mature as H3, however, it's very close.

shahidali55, roel and others with HDMI audio issues. Please test this universal H3 update file if it changes anything:

libreelec-h3.arm-9.80-devel-20190829200008-9d68e4b.tar

This is for any H3 board, just put it in /storage/.update and reboot.

If anyone wants to do a custom build, this update includes only one additional patch, which should improve situation for A64 and H6 too:

drm: dw-hdmi-i2s: enable audio clock in audio_startup - Patchwork

vitalogy Thanks, but no new Realtek out-of-tree (non-mainline) drivers are accepted in official LE git, as was stated many times already (in Allwinner subforum and github PRs). However, this wifi module has a good chance being supported in mainline soon, as PCIE version is already supported. My info is that SDIO interface support will be added next year. It will be enabled soon as patch(es) will be available.

If you want to do community builds with wifi driver included and publish images here, it's up to you, but as I said, this package will not be accepted to upstream LE git.

of course, just take nightly and remove "code" tag from your post.

I will monitor your work, thanks for the Libreelec image adapted for this box.

Don't forget that I probably won't post new image here anytime soon, unless there is something to test. Use nightlies instead, they are build almost every day and include all improvements.

libreelec 16

What is that? Maybe you mean old OpenELEC ports with Kodi 16? Anyway, anything not recent is not supported in any way from me.

Im having issues with the pvr iptv simple client with network streams. seam to be crashing or having system lock ups.

First try to manually build image and addon. Only that way you can be completely sure that Kodi and addon match. With nightlies this is not always the case.

Hard to say what could be wrong.

Currently we know that Eachlink boxes, albeit very similar to Tanix TX6, have problem with HDMI, to the point that HDMI connector status must be forced to "always connected" with kernel parameter in order to work.

There are for sure some issues with HDMI, but none of them occurs with HW I own.

Vital_22 Such issue I experienced long ago with different H6 board but not recently. It might be temperature, but that also depends on your cooling solution and ambient temperature. Where I am, ambient temperature is 25°C, what's yours? I never experienced any issues with Tanix TX6. I use stock radiator but housing is removed (only bare PCB).

Temperature driver will be added at later time, once it's ready for mainline.

P.S. Please don't use code tag for normal text.

Pine64+ ethernet fix is already in LE git master, so it will be available with next nightly image.

All improvements has been merged into LibreELEC git master, so they will be available in next nightly image.

iocast  danilo-jlle This image should have fixed ethernet on Pine64+, please test and report:

libreelec-a64.arm-9.80-devel-20190825133148-5c3df44-pine64-plus.img.gz

shahidali55 There were tons of updates in mainline linux in drivers important for HDMI audio. We'll need some time to pull them and integrate them to LibreELEC, because some of our own improvements conflict with them. As far as I can see, some updates fix number of issues, so I'm optimistic it will help in the end. Please be patient.

BTW, reason why only YT seems to work is that YT vides may have different audio format than the ones you are trying to watch.

Yes, it should work. There is a question if "bs" has optimal size, but it only affects flashing speed.

Please note that you'll completely overwrite Android. Do a eMMC backup (also with dd) if you ever want to restore it.

Ah, yes, then eMMC is /dev/mmcblk1. Anyway, let me know if you can boot from eMMC. I already got one confirmation but it's always good to get more

Quote from vitalogy

eMMC - put the image on /dev/mmcblk1, remove sdcard and reboot?

I believe that eMMC is /dev/mmcblk2, but please double check. BTW, these changes are not in any public git, I'm looking in another issue with Pine64+ and once solution is found, I'll make a PR to official LE git.

iocast I reproduced the problem and I found out the issue is that power up sequence (enabling voltage regulators) of ethernet PHY (RTL8311E) may not be correct. I'll try to found a workaround.

Here is new Tanix TX6 image with eMMC, HDMI-CEC and RTC fixes:

libreelec-h6.arm-9.80-devel-20190824143152-5c3df44-tanix-tx6.img.gz

I would love if someone can test this and confirm that eMMC and HDMI-CEC now work. This should put Tanix TX6 image on feature parity with other H6 boards.
