Just saw they expect python2
Other than that all is now perfect again.
Btw. whats the status with mali and deinterlacing on H3? Are both active now?

Addons should be updated now.
Thanks fot the heads up!
I managed to update quite a few add ons but many failed with the dependency xbmc.python
Is that a problem with a missing add on, or are the failing add ons just not migrated to python 3?
Is there a way to update all add ons at once? Like with an apg-get update / dist-upgrade? Or do I need to go through all with the remote?

By the way, is there support for onboard IR receiver or HDMI-CEC in these images?
yes and yes, if the board supports it. For example on my beelink x2 ir works fine cec not, as the HW implementation is non standard

Your efforts are useless if you can't even install pvr simple iptv client
I'm currently watching TV with my daughter, I guess from your point of view that's surely useless too.
And you serm to like watching IPTV, also useless for jernej, me and a couple of billion other humans.
Please let people do their hobbies and dont ask them to do free work for you.
I hope you got my point and don't feel offended.

I don't use Windows, I use Linux Mint.
I have no problem using ssh and I use it commonly and often.
The problem was that I was not able to set up the network and enable ssh in the LE environment (GUI problem).
But this time I was lucky and everything went well. So I have both files available.
Sorry LuRu
I thought you never heard of ssh
Great to hear you are getting forward. It's really a great thing once it's working and jernej is not only making this happen, but he also has such a kind of a patience with all of us. We are really lucky.

I don't have ssh, so I can't provide dmesg.
Download putty for Windows it works very well for ssh and is free

Yes, it's mostly clock driver issue, with all Allwinner SoCs. Depending on the setup, it might work for you. But most of the time it won't.
Oh ok, so not really an issue for tv boxes but for tablets and the likes of pine books and teres
-
Well, it can have hdmi output, but currently clock driver is not smart enough to properly set clocks for two display outputs.
Oh ok so it's a sw issue, that doesn't allow two displays at once?
Is this a general thing with all allwinners or a10 specific?
-
such issues are usually caused by wrongly set clocks. I wrongly assumed that this is tv box and enabled hdmi. Maybe hdmi driver messed clocks...
Well actually it has a mini hdmi output.
I'm having a kind of working quite dated version of linux working on it. Should i extract the dtb (if the kernel already is using dtb) for reference?Edit: found and uploaded DTB just in case

I uploaded new test images for A10:
LibreELEC-A10.arm-9.80-devel-20200216105054-0b8cbed-mele.img.gz
LibreELEC-A10.arm-9.80-devel-20200216111916-0b8cbed-inet97fv2.img.gz
It turns out that A10 has Cortex A8 with vfpv3 for floating point coprocessor as opposed to Cortex A7 and vfpv4 on A20. This means optimizations were set wrong for A10 and of course init script crashed.
Hi jernej
I finally found and charged my inet97 tablet and tried the image.
Unfortunately the boot up stopped with the statement regarding USB. See attachment.
Once boot stops there the screen gradually turn more and more into extremely bright and uneven white.
Not sure what it could be
-
Yeah, I imagine this could be a problem, but I'm sorry to say that this is not really a priority to fix.
That's fine with me, thanks for all the time you are dedicating to make our previously abandoned e-waste the best kodi players available!

lumpi Just to be clear, when TV was off, was HDMI cable connected during boot? From dmesg doesn't seems so. I think there are some issues if you connect HDMI cable after board booted, no matter if TV is on or off.
Sorry naming of the dmesgs was unclear...
My TV has no issues when off. It's always only happening when unplugged. So if started without hdmi plugged I can't just plug it in, but have to restart.
-
lumpi Sorry, it seems dmesg overflow, that produces much more output than anticipated. Can you re-run with "drm.debug=0x16"?
here you go

lumpi Sorry, it seems dmesg overflow, that produces much more output than anticipated. Can you re-run with "drm.debug=0x16"?
I guess the oberflow comes from all those cec errors, at least for my personal taste i can't use dmesg due to those warnings without grep.
Will do logs again as soon as I'm getting at it
-
yes, especially dmesg after you appended kernel arguments with that debug command
First the DMESG when started with TV on: dmesg_tvon.txt
DMESG with no HDMI cable plugged in: dmesg_nohdmi.txt
and now the last is the same boot as before, but with hdmi plugged in and tv switched to this hdmi port, when moving the arrow keys on the remote i can hear the clicks from the TV speakers: dmesg_nohdmi_plugin.txt
This file should be a superset of the previous
-
If not, it switches to 1024x768 and no sound.
very strange, so I must be wrong with my ideas...
If the x2 starts without hdmi cable it is in theory fired up with 1024x768 no sound.
Once its plugged into the tv, sound comes life, but nothing picture wise.
Would dmesg and kodi log as you suggested before help? Then i can try it.
-
Well, my experience is opposite. I often leave TV (LG B8) turned off and only power on SBC (doesn't matter if A64, H3 or H6). When Kodi starts, TV turns on and image is what you would expected - Kodi GUI and resolution is 4K. I heard that some devices disable DDC when they're powered off. If that's what your TVs do, then your situation is (almost) expected. Although hearing sound would suggest otherwise. Provide Kodi debug log and dmesg output and I'll check if there is anything which would explain behaviour you observed. Even better, add "drm.debug=0x1f" to extlinux.conf and get that dmesg output.
As mentioned before on my Samsung 1080p tv this only happens when hdmi cable unplugged while booting and later plugged in. You tell then the h3 defaults to a 4k signal? That would explain why sound is ok but picture not. As to the cec issues here i can't compete, as the x2 is not using the built in sunxi cec method but some gpio thing ( we discussed this together earlier) but cec seems not to be key to the original reporters issue. Seems like once an hdmi link comes up defaults are kept instead of being renegotiated. But i will try the dmesg tricks and post here

I have an LG TV I think it supported power on via CEC. It worked with libreelec on RPi 3, I will try that again. However, that ist not my actual problem. The problem is the following:
The screen stays black if Libreelec (OPi H6) boots without TV turned on. So I need to manually turn on the TV before booting Libreelec, otherwise I have a black screen. The HDMI connection, however, does seem to work to some degree because even when the screen is black using the remote control I can hear the typical Kodi sounds via the TV.
It's definitely the same as what I discovered.
If the hdmi line seems not active to some extent (maybe line termination?) during boot up only cec and audio comes life after the connection comes, no more video until reboot with active hdmi (in your case = TV is on, in my case = TV is plugged to the HDMI cable). In my opinion it somehow points to some phy initialisation, that if failing during power up, is never properly redone on hot-plug detection. As it affects my H3 and your H6 maybe something more generic??
