Hi Darth
Is it possible for the x8h plus to have multichannel pcm hdmi passthrough? It appeared I can get only 2.0.

Hi Datrh,
I like to add some custom subtitle fonts. Most answers I found was to put the fonts in /kodi/media/Fonts folder.
But the folder is Read-only and not sure how others managed to do it.
Could you help me on this?
Thanks.

For me it is different. Using also Darth's Lollipop image. I don't have fix IP but MAC address don't change anymore and could reserve IP on the router.
So this is okay for me.
Never got any fixed IP from any of the kodi 18 images.
-
Sorry to say, fix IP still not working. After reboot, it reverts back to DHCP.
However, it appeared the MAC address doesn't change anymore.

Running Lollipop 5.1.1 here on Minix X8H Plus
- no IP reserved on router
- network adapter is set to dhcp
Triks,
Earlier on you mentioned fixed IP is working for you. Have you actually set to fix IP and reboot to see if it is working?
But here you said you are on dhcp.
-
I am running Lollipop firmware as per your post 1.
Replaced dtb.img, still the same no fix IP.
-
I probably should have mentioned that I tested on LAN not Wi-Fi
lieuandy you could also reserve a static IP by MAC address on your router as a workaround.
I am using LAN, not wifi. The problem is the MAC address also changes randomly and not possible to reserve a static IP.

Does this solution still work with 18.1?
Not working.

LibreELEC-X8-H_Plus.arm-LE9-Kodi_18.1.img
can someone test if the fixed ip is solved with this one?
regards
Hi Datrh,
Still not working for me, After re-boot it converts back to dhcp.
-
k and the 17.6, which version were you using? gen1 or the other ?
Using Gen 1. the other cannot boot.
Does this solution still work with 18.1?
I will check and revert.
-
Cannot use fixed ip address, need dhcp, using ethernet => same issue with the kodi 18 image?
Yes, whether its Kitkat or Lollipop, all versions after 17.6 have the same issue.

Thanks for the feedback, i was missing return about fixed IP on the X8HP.
i will build a test image with a modded dtb.
- CEC control sometimes work, sometimes not working => what do you mean exactly? just power-on/off the tv ? something with the amp?
With your 17.6 image, using remote on the power button, there is a shutdown menu which actually makes the box goes to sleep/standby, not shutdown. In this case the tv can be put on standby via CEC. When I start the box using remote, the tv turns on.
BTW, HDMI is connected directly to tv, not through amp.
With 18.1, it is true shutdown (no standby/sleep option). I can power off the tv, no issue here.
When the box reboots, sometimes the CEC link indicates as "Kodi" and sometimes "Recorder".
This is not a big deal for me, just for your info.
If you have the modded dtb, I can test it.
Thanks.

if you dare , can you try this firmware?
worst case => reflash
with the right uboot, you just have to push the minix power on/off button
Datrh,
Refreshed your Lollipop version, working normally as an android box.
Installed 18.1 (re-up) on sd card, true shutdown is working. Can restart box using on/off button.
The following is not working:
- Cannot use fixed ip address, need dhcp, using ethernet, not wifi
- MAC address still changes randomly
- CEC control sometimes work, sometimes not working

Thanks for the reply.
I am not running from internal, only from SD card.
Should I use the tar or gz file to put in the update folder with .nocompat file?
Edit:
I used the tar file with .nocompat and it worked.
Thanks.
So far encountered are shutdown and CEC issues.

Hi Datrh,
I have the X8-H Plus, currently running Kodi 17.6 from SD card.
I put this image in the Kodi update folder.
After reboot and decompressing the file, it indicated error and stated this is not compatible with Gen-1 hardware.
Can this be rectified?
Thanks.
