X96 Max 2G/16G 100Mb/s NIC 20190605 Aarch image presently.

Can anyone advise what I might be missing in order to get Live TV to work properly?

That is the future primary use for this box, hence my fixation.

Tvheadend server is running on another box on the LAN, so only tvheadend client is installed.

Do I need to get DVB drivers from somewhere for this to work?

Some of the Satellite (DVB-S) channels work correctly.

A lot of them have have sound but no video.

Broadcast DVB-T channels have sound and no video.

One DVB-T channel, generated in house using a HDMI>DVB-T Edision converter has both sound and video.

I am puzzled TBH.

I do not know where to look, so any help available would be appreciated.

Per chewitt:#734 I think you need to use the arm version and not the Aarch version to have a chance of live tv working. But I don't use Tvheadend, so I could very well be wrong.

you got AC3 and DTS, did they work for surround audio? Or did it still only give 2.0 channel?

*Update*

Answered my own question. Tested LibreELEC-AMLG12.aarch64-9.1-devel-20190601212344-a41fdf1-box.img with meson-g12a-x96-max.dtb on T95Q S905x2 I get 5.1 audio passthrough For AC3 and DTS. However, after ~45 seconds of playing the audio just goes to static. Also, wifi and ethernet work.

dtb tests:

u200 no boot

sei510 boots - Audio ouput "Default Bluetooth Audio (PULSEAUDIO) - no audio

x96-max-rmii boots - Audio working - no ethernet

khadas-vim3 boots - Audio working no 5.1 channel out and goes to static after ~45 seconds - ethernet working

odroid-n2 boots - Audio working WITH 5.1 channel out and goes to static after ~45 seconds - ethernet working

LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-9.1-devel-20190524115650-a41fdf1-box.img using meson-g12a-x96-max-rmii.dtb booted with wired network and audio on T95Q s905x2. It would not boot with the default dtb.

Set up a test for the most recent image

LibreELEC-AMLG12.aarch64-9.1-devel-20190521095510-a41fdf1-box.img

and used

meson-g12a-x96-max-rmii.dtb

on a 2GB 100 Mb/s Xmax S905x2

Wired ethernet connected early and clean.

The sound out is greyed out and showing Bluetooth/pulseaudio.

There are some issues with LiveTV channel changing and remote use. [Using tvheadend server on LAN and tvheadend client on the Xmax.]

That was only an initial test run ..... have to give it a longer run when I get a chance.

EDIT: Forgot to add

Code

LibreELEC:~ # dmesg | grep -i sound
[    0.046422] Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Initialized.
[    1.205094]   No soundcards found.

Tested same version on T96Q S905x2 box. Same issue, most things seem to be working, but sound out is greyed out and showing Bluetooth/pulseaudio

Regarding S905x2 HDMI audio. It is noted that it only has 2 channel out. Can 5.1 channel work with passthrough?

Thanks for the info, that's what I figured.

It has to be updated manually from 9.0.0 or is it supposed to be updated automatically? (I guess not since I'm still on 9.0.0 and I got no notification about an available update).

I had to update manually, but the update worked without issue.

The only issue I am having is that sometimes there is no audio out, but a reboot fixes it every time.

I've been using LibreELEC for about a month now on my T95N s905x box, and everything is working great. My only question now is, is there a way to play the audio over my Google Homes? I have several set up, and it would be great if we could play the audio on the one in the kitchen when in that room, and so on. I haven't found any info on someone doing this, so figured I would ask. Thanks!
