i tested and went back to version L. Video quality on MM kernel is not good enough i keep at Nougat

Wtf?!

I see absolutely no difference here and the Marshmallow kernel is way more stable (for now).

Maybe later a full Nougat implementation might be better.

You have a A95X S905 TV Box?

This firmware for A95X S905 TV Box only!

Oh, shit, okay. I have the Nexbox MXQ Pro 4K
and I thought that uboot fix is for both boxes,
because the thread opener was talking about
a Nexbox MXQ Pro, too.

NEXBOX-A95X_8189etv_8g1g_160812_uBootFix.rar - stock firmware with fixed uBoot
ubootfixed.zip - Just fixed uBoot for replacement in another firmware with the help of Customization tool
fip.zip - Compiled uBoot from source.

If you want just flash stock firmware with fixed uBoot - use NEXBOX-A95X_8189etv_8g1g_160812_uBootFix.rar and flash unpacked img file with USB Burning tool

I am using Libreelec 8.0.1l on Nand on the Nexbox MXQ Pro 4K (S905, 1 GB/8 GB).

Is it possible to just exchange the uboot without the need of a new installation (whether Android nor Libreelec)? I guess, with the ubootfixed.zip and the customization tool, you mentioned.

Where do I get that customization tool and how to do that?

Quote from djspawn

Hello everybody! I'm glad to inform, I fixed uBoot:

1. Turns on and off from the home remote with the native "Power" button (Android / AlexELEC / LibreELEC)
2. The LEDs-indicators (were "confused" in places) are fixed: the blue LED is on, the red LED is off.

Firmware(NEXBOX-A95X 8189etv 8g1g 160812 with uboot fix) and uBoot separately can be taken here: MEGA

Sorry, what to download, exactly?

ubootfixed.zip or fip.zip or nexbox-a95x_8189etv....rar?

Can you write a short step-by-step tutorial what to do?

Thanks a lot for 8l. Finally, it is possible to
rewind some seconds/minutes without the
freezing/hanging.

Quote from kszaq

Maybe I will switch back to MM kernel until mainline support is possible.

Great idea. From the beginning I thought there is
something odd about the new kernel (elements?).

There was less irritation with the older kernel. Also
a reason some users still hang on 7j or 8a. I must
admit, I am using a second setup with 7j, too, while
using the newest (8l) on the other. So, I would gladly
test a 8l with older kernel.

What is wrong with that forum software?

When I googled, I found YouTube stuff like that:

But I guess, that is not the correct thing and also you should offer links and not ask developers to search for the stuff themselves.

Quote from kpop

LibreELEC 8.0.1l is out.

Did you see/find the changelog?

I believe, 012j has less problems.

Quote from her

type crontab -e, paste 50 23 * * * poweroff, save and exit nano; box should now power down at ten to midnight - just tested and it's working fine.

Alright, I did it with 30 3 * * * shutdown and that worked, too. Thank you.

Now, I have another slight issue. After a reboot all PVR channels are ALWAYS gone. So, I go into addons and check for an update of Simple IP TV (although there is none) and BANG ... all channels are back without looking/searching for them.

Anyone else having this?

Quote from gary9872

You could use cron to do that I'm guessing.

1. Start an SSH session with your box via command line with a computer

Code

ssh root@libreelec

or root@the ip number of your box

(Above is from Linux command line.. might be different using Windows or MAC etc)

type yes for key ( if this is your first time connecting to your box)

Default password should be libreelec.

To my knowledge cron should be running already...

2. Check with:

Code

pidof crond

It should return a 4 or 5 digit number. If it doesn't get back to me... cuz it's not running

I'm just going to assume it is running... for now..
---------------------------------------------------------

3. Change Directory to where cron stores stuff.

Code

cd /storage/.cache/cron/crontabs

make a file here... you can use the nano text editor

4. Type something like this...

Code

nano turnoffcomputer

(you will enter a text editor)

5. Type this in whilst in the text editor.

Code

55 23 * * * root poweroff

6. Then hit ctrl-X then hit y to save.

If everything goes well.. you box should shutdown at 11:55pm every day.

Perhaps somebody can clarify that poweroff is the proper command to shutdown libre elec properly? (Or is it shutdown which seems to give 1 minute grace with no arguments)

I'm probably clear as pea soup, so ask more questions if you need too.
Hopefully that steers you in the right way.

Cheers,

Gary

Thank you very much for that nice and easy tutorial/explanation.

Unfortunately, neither of those commands did the job:

35 12 * * * root shutdown
35 12 * * * sudo shutdown
35 12 * * * shutdown
35 12 * * * sudo shutdown -h now
35 12 * * * sudo shutdown -h 0
35 12 * * * root shutdown -h now
35 12 * * * root shutdown -h 0
35 12 * * * root poweroff

Btw, cron is working/running - gave me a four digit number.

[hr]

35 12 * * * root /sbin/shutdown -h now

did not work, too.

When I want to check my cronjobs with crontab -l, this happens:

LibreELEC:~ # crontab -l
crontab: can't open 'root': No such file or directory

Just a short question: Where can I automatically shutdown Kodi at a given time?

I want to turn off the hardware with a timer plug. In order to not damage the
file system of Kodi I would like to have it turn off every night at 2355, because
at midnight the plug will turn off the electricity.

I'm afraid you cannot downgrade without losing your data.

Alright, thanks, mate.

Quote from Fredouye

I think you just to burn 7j to an SD card, boot from it and then run installtointernal (this will format your system and data partitions).

Okay, but that is just a new installation and reformatting everything.

Is not there a way to do it without losing all addons, libs, ... etc.?

I have installed 8h on internal. Is it somehow possible
to get back to 7j and how?

Quote from sYCO

Good to hear/read, thank you. I will update later and test it myself.

Alright, I was watching TV for around 30 minutes without a problem
until that purple banding thing appeared again, but just for some
seconds.

I went to bed at this point. So, I cannot say, if that was just one little
incident or just the beginning of more of it again.

... and that thing even appears now on played files, not only TV streaming.

Back to 8d for now.

Quote from clarkss12

I am running both tvheadend server and client on my Beelink MiniMx3 and had issuses with "E", "F" and "G", so had to continually revert back to the "C" version. This "H" version is working very nicely with my live and recorded TV shows, so I guess at this point I will be staying with this "H" version.

Good to hear/read, thank you. I will update later and test it myself.

Is the TV streaming fixed in h?
