Internet connection was there. Strange why it reported that wrong. Its a LAN cable connection that always simply works.

But yes, i have not searched for the addon updates. After updating the addons its working fine again. Thanks!

The links are working fine with https enabled:

example 1: libreelec-generic.x86_64-9.0.2.img.gz

example 2: libreelec-generic.x86_64-9.1.501.img.gz

The openelec release is about 2 years old and its probably a dead project now that wont see any updates in the future.

Do you know why the rt8821cu driver is not upstreamed to mainline kernel? The developer also dont answer the question here: Getting included/merged into linux kernel source · Issue #7 · brektrou/rtl8821CU · GitHub

It the driver were inside the linux kernel, it would make everything much more easy.

The downloadlinks here are for some unknown reason http links instead of https links: AMD / Intel / nVidia – LibreELEC

When you change them manualy to https, then the download link work fine. Please make them https by default to not make MITM-attacks possible.

Thanks

Any news about this topic?

I updated from 9.0.2 to this version and my live-tv headend setup broke.

Installed before: libreelec-generic.x86_64-9.0.2.img.gz

The broken version: libreelec-generic.x86_64-9.1.501.img.gz

I was able to recover to the working state/version by putting the LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.0.2.img.gz into /storage/.update/ and rebooting.

This is the kodi.log output with 9.1.501:

Your hardware is just a tiny bit too new.

But i anyway cant recommend the 200GE (nor the 220GE or the 240GE ). It have hyper threading enabled. This is a security issue now and for upcomming software.

If you want a cheap replacement that would work out of the box with recent stable libreelec you can get a AMD A6-9500 (also AM4 socket).

If you want to get a even better CPU then the 200GE that would work out of the box for a tiny bit more money then the 200GE, you can take a look into the 2200G .

I would recommend the Asus Thinker Board or their newer Thinker Board S: Tinker Board | ASUS USA

I cant recommend broadcom (raspberry pi) . Broadcom is a known bad company for software freedom. They refused for long time to work with the free software community. Now their boards are still terrible in case of software freedom.

Great future upcomming SBC devices would be the NXP i.MX8 chipsets combined with vivante GPUs. There is a reason why the Librem5 smartphone have chosen this hardware combination

The final SBC solution would be a board with a great RISC-V CPU.

For now, just get a Rockchip based Asus Thinker Board (or other Rockchip based devices that are supported by libreelec).

I cant recommend any nvidia hardware. Nvidia is a terrible company BLOCKING free software! Nouveau Developers Remain Blocked By NVIDIA From Advancing Open-Source Driver - Phoronix

Please dont buy their terrible freedom blocking hardware and thus supporting them. They are fighting free software and thus freedom since many years!

I have seen LibreELEC have support for the Terratec Cinergy S2 PCIe Dual card. This seems to be based on the work from crazycat . The support is been added here: https://bitbucket.org/crazycat/linux_media/commits/e5cf2bd5f2236379e0c2f55453b1c09470976da7

Because crazycat answer to issues about the driver in the forum here ( LibreElec + Cinergy DVB-S2 Dual Tuner + Terratec Remote generates double key events ) i would like to know if there is a special reason why such drivers are not beeing mainlined to the linux kernel.

There seems to be a driver for the SAA7231 chipset. I found it here: add saa7231 driver · stsp/BeholdT8@e85a3f0 · GitHub

Here some more information about the hardware: Re: saa7231 is anybody trying · winysrj/linux-media@072daef · GitHub

I also cant find anything about that hardware here: https://bitbucket.org/crazycat/linux_media/src/latest/

This driver does not seem to be mainlined. Does someone know why? Can someone mainline the driver to the linux kernel or at least put it into libreelec or crazycat (that is been used by libreelec) code?

The 9.0.1 and the 9.0.2 release had both in the changelog listed a partly fix for timeshift. Does timeshift with tvheadend now work without issues? I need working timeshift before atempting to switch over to LibreELEC version 9.

I can recommend to use linux for that and fully delete the drive (also privacy benefit):

Boot up your linux (even linux live image works), stick in your usb drive, run dmesg. You should see in the last lines of the text when it detects the drive. For example it would write "[...] sdb [...]".

Then detele the drive: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4M (where sdb (care about the last letter if its b, c, d, ...) is the letter of the drive)

Afterwards you can simply use gparted or windows to reformat it. I would recommend using gparted.

I dont know what this is about. Its an error in dmesg i report here so that all errors are gone when the stable release is released.

Here the full dmesg with debug output enabled:

Thanks for the fast reply. I enabled debugging, i rebooted the system, i went again into the addon-installation and tried again to install the Tvheadend HTSP Client. This is the debug logout of the whole procedure:

I think this is the relevant part:

DEBUG: CAddonInstaller: installing 'pvr.hts' version '4.3.11.2' from repository 'repository.libreelec.tv'

DEBUG: CAddonInstallJob[pvr.hts]: requires kodi.binary.instance.pvr version 5.10.2 which is not available

ERROR: CAddonInstallJob[pvr.hts]: The dependency on kodi.binary.instance.pvr version 5.10.2 could not be satisfied.

On the main site the developers asked for people to report issues. I download LibreELEC (Leia) v8.90.005 ALPHA – LibreELEC ( libreelec-generic.x86_64-8.90.005.img.gz ), create a new installation image and installed it fresh on a empty drive.

In dmesg i get this error: ERROR: CYUVShaderGLSL::CYUVShaderGLSL - failed to open file gl_shader_frag_texture_lim.glsl

Probably some mesa/opengl thing is not right.

Maybe this have something to do with this issue(from dmesg):

WARNING: Failed to get an OpenGL context supporting core profile 3.2, using legacy mode with reduced feature set

Its not usable in LibreELEC (Leia) v8.90.005 ALPHA : ERROR: CAddonInstallJob[pvr.hts]: The dependency on kodi.binary.instance.pvr version 5.10.2 could not be satisfied.
