Orange Pi One
I'm considering dropping support for boards with less than 1 GiB of RAM. 256 MiB is reserved for video stuff (although it can be used for some other stuff too), so if board has 512 MiB of total RAM, there's not much left for anything else.
here is pic what i men tearing
I think you mean combing which is issue when interlaced videos are not deinterlaced before displaying. Do you mind uploading video sample somewhere and post a link here? If issue is only with interlaced videos, then this is expected. Currently Kodi DRMPRIME renderer doesn't support deinterlacing and there is no driver written for that yet. First we have to stabilize system before diving into that.
However, if it is really tearing, then there is one kernel patch available which might help. I'll include it in next update.
I really don't have any display with consistent EDID readout issue. I'll prepare one test image later with possible fix but don't hold breath...
To me it is unusable without wifi. Is there ever going to be that option ? Much thanks
Read first post, everything is explained regarding wifi. Use supported dongle.
I can confirm this same. going to power and switch power off option will stuck on screen.
This is more cosmetic issue and low priority.
Other thing, after plugin in to bigger tv i started notice horizontal tearing on picture.
What is the resolution of that TV? 4K TVs and monitors currently won't work.
Lircd not working because unable access terminal
Lircd should work, just enable SSH and use that to configure...
One thing I had on the Openelec was the temperature display on the processor which in Librelec is not active. Can this be activated
Unfortunately not because temperature driver is missing. That's why it also runs on a bit lower frequency that it is capable. But still enough for HW decoding.
I would like to know how I use the image to update
Update LibreELEC [LibreELEC.wiki]
Use method "Updating using the Samba shares" or "Updating using the CLI"
it is like once of every 10 boot the device will go into 1080p screen resolution. just need reboot many times until it goes that mode, dunno whats happening there.
What is screen resolution when it doesn't work? 1024x768? If yes then driver doesn't read out EDID correctly. I observed that before but rarerly, so it's hard to test anything.
PVR Clients still missing, ned tvheadend one, i cannot test satellite and dvb-t codecs. (they are most important how they run)
could you please point me a direction how i get addon files there? i can do it myself, but i guess recompile whole thing is not a option?
You could compile them yourself for now. First build will take a while, but following ones will be very quick. I'll try to set up proper repository soon.
You can compile addon with:
PROJECT=Allwinner ARCH=arm DEVICE=H3 scripts/create_addon pvr.htsUse my github repo mentioned in first post.
Still no Beelink X2 wireless
No, wireless is not something I want to work on. Linux 4.21 will have a ton of fixes important for wifi so I won't actually do that anything at least until 4.21 is out and probably support only few wireless chips after that (those which have driver included in kernel already).
I just updated first post with new information and also uploaded brand new images.
This port is by any means not dead. I'm just not following forum every day, especially when working on features, in this case, completely reworking HW decoding paths and improving drivers.
New image has plenty of improvements, which might not be noticeable at first. However, there are few important ones:
1. H264 decoding should work very well
2. support for multi channel HDMI audio (correct audio output must be selected)
3. ditching vaapi and using native ffmpeg interface (much better memory handling)
4. improved H265 decoding
5. Analog audio output (3.5 mm jack) is supported on H3
6. A64 SoC support
7. HDMI CEC improvements, although this feature depends on board - it works on some and it doesn't work on others.
Please also consider 5.1 audio DTS-HD DolbyTrueHD DTS-HD Mster
That is not yet implemented in kernel. However, some developers showed some interest to work on that, but it will still take some time.
Do you think that your development will in the future support 4К video
That's the plan. But before that, I have to buy such monitor.
Is there a way to install update without networking?
No. I don't have X2, so I can't really do anything. If you find something, you can do PR to LE allwinner repo.
LibreELEC-H3.arm-8.0-devel-20170516114055-r25546-g745f679-opipcplus.img
That's not my work.
OE port is superior for now, at least for HW decoding. But it is totally unsupported. BTW, this thread was made only to show what is achievable with current mainline kernel, it's not meant to replace OE images right away. When it will be good enough to do that, it will be promoted to official LE repository.
work but no wifi.
As mentioned in OP, RTL8189FTV driver is not included and due to future direction of LibreELEC it probably won't work later anyway, unless someone rewrites driver completely. I suggest you use some cheap wifi dongle which already have good mainline kernel support.
Yeah, I didn't change much regarding codecs, just few small fixes. Most important update this time is Kodi bump to beta3.
I added image for OrangePi Lite and new update for all images.
please understand than current images are composed of alpha quality LibreELEC, beta quality Kodi and pre-alpha quality of Allwinner specifics, including HW video codecs.
As I said in OP, MPEG2 is the only really working codec, while H264 and H265 are far from fully working. It will probably take months before they are ready
I'm not sure plugins will work well with any image I'll release, because my images will always have latest development version of Kodi, where plugin interface might change. However, you can always build the plugin you want from the source I provide. Things will stabilize once Allwinner project is good enough to be merged in main branch and thus receive official support.
I connect to Opi with windows. And I try copy update file but Update folder on sdcard has only 23 MB available space and it's full. Any help? I use 32GB sdcard.
You see EXT4 partition on Windows? Anyway, you have to do first run after flashing image to be expanded to whole card.
can you please check OP for update file and install it? H264 should be much better (almost usable) now for non-interlaced content. I also removed some HDMI audio WIP patches which probably cause issues on your setup.
Plus2e please
Added. Support for 2 GB RAM boards is fixed now. cmd42 I re-uploaded image for plus, which should work on plus2 now.
I also updated codec limitations and hopefully they are more clear now.
