hostkit I don't know what could be wrong. Please try with nightly images, where a lot is updated.

WARNING: Since of the release of LibreELEC 10 stable, nightly images are NOT recommended for every day use, especially if you need addons!
Images and updates:
Nightly images and update files are available here. Please note that update files are board specific now.
H3 based boards:
- BananaPi M2+
- Beelink X2
- Libretech ALL-H3-CC (Tritium) (H3 SoC)
- NanoPi M1
- OrangePi 2
- OrangePi PC
- OrangePi PC Plus
- OrangePi Plus/Plus 2 (same image for both boards)
- OrangePi Plus 2E
A64 based boards:
- OrangePi Win
- Pine64
- Pine64 LTS
- Pine64 Plus
H6 based boards:
- Beelink GS1
- OrangePi 3
- OrangePi Lite 2
- OrangePi One Plus
- Pine H64
- Tanix TX6
H5 based boards:
- OrangePi PC 2
- ALL-H3-CC H5 (Tritium)
R40 based boards:
- BananaPi M2 Ultra
Additional boards can be supported if requested, but only if they are supported by mainline kernel.
Boards/STBs with less than 1 GiB of RAM are not supported!
FEATURES:
- mainline kernel & U-Boot
- completely open source including GPU drivers
- latest Kodi
- zero copy decoding & rendering
- shared decoding & rendering code with other SoCs
- compared to OpenELEC images with BSP kernel, HDMI should work with any monitor automatically
- HDMI CEC
- multi channel HDMI audio
- IR receiver
- Analog audio (except H6)
- Temperature sensor
- HW deinterlacing, see testing thread for limitations
- eMMC installation script (install2emmc)
- Device Tree overlays
- suspend/resume and power on via remote or power button
- CVBS (TV out) on H3/H5 (enabled via DT overlay)
LIMITATIONS:
- only MPEG2, H264 (AVC), H265 (HEVC), VP8 and VP9 codecs are supported in hardware, for now. Others are software decoded.
- R40 doesn't support H265 (HEVC) - hardware limitation
- 10-bit H265 and VP9 videos are supported only on H6 (H3, H5 and A64 don't support 10-bit HEVC nor VP9 - hardware limitation)
- 10-bit H264 is not supported (hardware limitation)
- MPEG2 works well
- H264 works well
- H265 works well
- VP8 works well
- VP9 works well
- HDMI audio passthrough is in testing phase (see testing thread)
- wifi modules without mainline driver are not and won't be supported (mostly Realtek - RTL8189ETV, RTL8189FTV, etc.)
- no support for TV out on H6
- HDMI CEC on H5 works correctly only if the board has 32 kHz external oscillator.
- suspend/resume doesn't work on boards with R40 (HW limitation)
Given that nightly images are updated often, I'll make a post when it's worth to update with short changelog.
NOTE: A20 support was retired
-
Driver for your wifi is not hard to find or even to include it, it's just that it's PITA to maintain it and probably doesn't work with iwd, which is planned to replace wpa_supplicant in near future.
-
I just copied new kernel and dtb to /flash after downloading tar and then rebooted no its starting with new system
You should make another update with same update file. U-Boot is not updated in such way. BTW, you are bypassing a lot of checks by such update.
-
lumpi ah, you are on old image... Actually I mentioned the issue, but yes, that's the one. Copy files manually in that file and repeat update again to update few missing things.
BTW, new images use kodi 18.2-rc1 so some things like addons probably need to be updated
-
majorkalina since you build image yourself, it will be quicker if you just change this line: ffmpeg-95.0002-add-common-v4l2-request-api-code.patch#l126 to +#include <drm/drm_fourcc.h>
-
ok, I think I know what is the issue. I'll prepare an update.
-
mpeg4 ?
No, while writing support for it shouldn't be hard, base is still in flux. A lot of work is going on to stabilize request api in kernel. Until this is more or less done and most bugs are fixed in existing codecs (H264, H265), I won't work on additional codecs. But maybe someone else will.
If it is possible to improve without hardware acceleration h265 10 bit
None that I'm aware of. H6 is already capable of decoding 10-bit H265, but for some reason top left corner is corrupted during each 10-bit H265 video playback.
-
roel majorkalina please enable debug logging in settings and specifically enable ffmpeg logging in submenu. Then open MPEG2 aor H264 video and after that upload kodi log somewhere. This should provide clues why it doesn't work.
It's hard to do development without hardware. Hopefully I can fix video playback and other features can be fixed by someone else who actually has A20 board(s).
-
hostkit can you please provide full output of dmesg?
-
roel there is no HDMI audio support for A20, mainline or out-of-tree, but analog audio should work.
Yes, CEC works, but it should be other way around, when Kodi starts, it should turn TV on, not off
You can test by turning TV off and reboot MK808c. TV should turn on automatically.Can you please test video decoding? only MPEG2 and H264 are supported in HW.
-
Is the deinterlacer already in any image? I felt there is much less tearing since my last update a while ago.
No, driver sits untested in my local repo on laptop and awaits better times :). Seriously, there's a ton of work to do before this will work, including extending ffmpeg and Kodi.

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
I just checked and yes, it should be supported. Check if output of lsmod lists 8188eu. If not, run modprobe 8188eu and test again. After all that, please provide output of ifconfig
-
Btw. did you also look into my toy project with the power button? /shameless hint
No, not yet. I'm jumping around different tasks as you may noticed. There's a ton of work to do, but not much time. BTW, I wrote deinterlace driver but I couldn't force myself to test and debug it yet

lumpi Current Beelink X2 DT file is broken regarding wifi (missing power connection and one clock for brcm module), so you can't check which module you have. You can update with this file libreelec-h3.arm-9.1-devel-20190513205044-0fffb04-beelink_x2.tar If you have brcm module, you'll have wifi.
-
BTW, if anyone wants to install to eMMC just dd image to it and it should work (works for me on Beelink X2).
-
can you building image with this driver Download untuk TL-WN725N | TP-Link Indonesia
RTL8188EU driver is already present, except if USB ID is missing. Please provide output of lsusb with dongle connected.

News about H5 Orange Pi Pc 2? Thanks
Nothing other than the build you already tested. I'll include it in official repository, but it needs some stability fixes regarding display driver to be more useful.
How well/bad that image works for you?
