For me all AMLGX images boot and work basically nice on x96mini (p281, s905w) 2/16.

NIC OK (USB-Wifi works too..)

USB-Sound OK (HDMI audio not tested since I got no speakers on screen)

Remote OK

..

Local video/audio files(NAS, USB-Drive) play flawless.
Only issue I got (with every image after 2019-05-22) is that on several streams I got audio working but no picture(screen stays white or shows single frame). But I never got bootloops or similar.
So maybe you got an defective card!? Which version did you try?
Which dtb did you enter in config files? For me meson-gxl-s905w-p281.dtb is/was always the best working one on s905w..

I doubt it's a defective card because CoreELEC installs normally on it. And yes, I use meson-gxl-s905w-p281.dtb.

But is it possible that maybe I'm doing something wrong in the installation process or using the wrong image file? I use S905 images. Should I maybe try S905X?

Tried the latest and now gets one stage further with message "UDevil file system mounted" on first boot after initial installation, but still get infinite boot loop afterwards.

I have the exact problem with my S905W box. Infinite boot loops although after first install I get scrolling text ending in 'Reached target Kodi Media Center'. I've been trying to run LibreELEC for the past month or so and it's the same with every image.

If anyone managed to get a Kodi 18 LibreELEC image to boot on their S905W box, please be kind enough to share that image and maybe even a tutorial on how to do it because maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Is there any decent LibreELEC 9.xx image for S905W devices? I've tried the latest one and I'm stuck in a boot loop.

I've tested the latest image (LibreELEC-RK3328.arm-9.80-nightly-20190622-afccdbc-box-trn9.img.gz) on my R10 RK3328 Android TV box.

The good things are there's Wi-Fi, audio is good, it plays every file I've tested.

The bad things: 1) While viewing videos, Android box randomly freezes after a few minutes (sometimes I have to unplug/re-plug it, other times it reboots itself)

2) 4K Video colors look washed out, pale

3) Mpeg4 files are choppy, they don't use HW acceleration

Just to add to my original comment, I believe the video freezes only when playing BD files. It doesn't matter if I choose to play a Blu-Ray via BD menu or through a simplified Kodi menu. It freezes anyway.

Just to add to my original post, pressing the info button I get this.

Everything but the menu says this:

Hardware Decoding: Active

Decoder: am-h264, unknown

Deinterlace method: Hardware

Then once it reaches the BD menu, it's really slow. Pressing the info button I get this:

Hardware Decoding: Inactive

Decoder: ff-h264, yuv420p

Deinterlace method: none

Is there some fix for this?

I flashed this LibreELEC 9 version - LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0.0.img.gz - on my A95X Pro S905W 2GB RAM box. The device tree I used was gxl_p281_2g.dtb.

Everything seems to work fine. The only difference compared to LibreELEC 8 is that when playing a Blu-Ray Disc, all I get when I reach the main menu with all the options, all I see is text/menu options and there's black screen behind it. I don't see the image or video playing in the background of the menu. And if I'm not quick enough with my selection, the menu will freeze and the only thing I can do is unplug and replug the box to have it work again.

LibreELEC 8 (Kodi 17.6) doesn't have that problem. Well, the problem since Kodi 17 is the fact that BD menus don't use hardware acceleration so they're kind of slow to navigate through, but at least it doesn't freeze up the system.

I also get the same issue on both CoreELEC and AlexELEC.

Can this issue be fixed?

Hey, guys.

Just last night, for the first time ever I tried LibreELEC out on my Android Amlogic S905W box and it works really, really good. A lot of the issues that were present on my Android system are gone now.

The only problem I noticed I still have is that BD Menus on my Blu-Ray discs are really slow and laggy because for some reason HW acceleration is not used on the menus. (This problem is also present on Android Kodi)

Everything else on the Blu-Ray disc has HW acceleration except the menus. Can this be fixed or is there something in the LibreELEC options I am not aware of?
