I have a DigiXstream DX3 - AML8726-MX, for which I am trying to install the recent libreelec builds here but am having problems. When I try the recovery method (fresh install) the installation stalls out at the Kodi screen. Like one of the previous posters (#289) I can successfully load that ancient version of OpenELEC, but when I try to update with the tar file, it begins to update and then runs into an error and kills the box. I have been able to recover by re-installing the ancient version of OpenELEC.
I have tried both with the storage SD/USB method and also changing the setting for internal Nand storage to have LIBREELEC_DISK.
On my storage USB, I found two log files of my attempts to install 8.0.2. The longer of the two is pasted below. There seems to be a problem with loading skin settings towards the end. Can anyone help me figure out what is going wrong?
Many thanks!
