Thank you for the answer. Looking forward to try this next month!
Just a follow up note: my box reached its end of life before I wanted to try it

The changes are in the nightly files now *but* like all LE10+ images it requries clean-install, there is no upgrade. To use the upstream u-boot on the box you need to first boot from the 'box' image then use emmctool to erase emmc (removing all traces of vendor u-boot) and then write the -wetek-play2.img.gz file to emmc. I strongly suggest you experiment with the 'box' image first before doing that, as while the LE11 codebase is quite usable on S905/S905X/S912 devices now, it's not as feature complete as the legacy one. If people do this and then want to go back, I do have a raw disk copy of the factory Android image on emmc which can be restored.
Thank you for the answer. Looking forward to try this next month!

This mornings achievement unlocked is .. booting a WeTek Play2 box from upstream u-boot on eMMC
u-boot log https://pastebin.com/raw/pVSHMueQ and dmesg https://pastebin.com/raw/n5E3Rq96
Some more testing is needed, but hopefully this also works with other S905 board/box devices.
That sounds awesome! I have an 9.2. Installed to internal On my play 2. Any chance there will be a chance to upgrade it?
-
thank you. Is there a similar fix for amlogic (wetek play 2)?
-
Using WP2 for a bit recently it's annoyingly close to being quite good, but also far-enough away that the initial euphoria of booting a modern kernel etc. wears off.
that sounds awesome! Do you have any guess on if/when it would be possible to get wp2 on a good and stable LE10?
-
is this going to be necessary when i try to update my wp2 from from libreelec 9 to 10 installed in nand/emmc?
-
thanks for the Info! Have you installed libreelec on the sd card or in the nand?
-
anyone tested this build yet?
LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-9.80.7-wetek-play2.img.gz
i am considering updating my wetek play 2 installation (flashed to internal storage)
-
have a look in the libreelec settings
-
running this build with tvheadend with my cable provider. Should work with satellite as well!
-
Thanks seems to work just fine!
-
awesome - exactly what i needed. Thank you very much!
For the forum search - if someone wants to do the same, here you go:

Hello,
i try to use mailx to send me the output of a script to my mail account (if there is an error) and I can hardly believe, that I am the only one desperately trying to have this feature. However after 2 hours of searching, the best thing I came up was "using ssh root@router to send the email": https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/318140
However my Router doesnt allow that (and I hardly think this is secure to give libreelec root access on my router).
On my NAS i used mailx for 6 years without issues, so I was looking for some way to get it running on libreelec. Can someone please pinpoint? netsupport addons didnt give me anything unfortunately and this would really help a lot to get notified if there is anything wrong with the backup script
Thank you,
Linkin

Hi,
I have been running a script on another rpi for quite some time (4-5 years), but it broke down and now I want to get rid of it and use libreelec as my only 24/7 device (besides the router). I have writen a backup script to download my contacts and calendars from my nextcloud every night to make sure I will not loose anthing from the nextcloud because of some mistake in thunderbird or whatever...
Unfortunately i have been trouble to use wget on libreelec. I am not able to provide the --password (--user works!) and neither can I provide a .wgetrc nor change somehow the path where to find the .wgetrc (it is directly lying next to the .sh).
The only way which works is wget http://user:password@nextcloudadress, which is not really how i thought this should be
May anybody help me?
Regards,
Linkin
PS; How do i delete the History in the terminal? I tried a lot and history -c didnt work...
edit: found it: > ~/.ash_history
-
It happened again. My guess would be, that my system drive was full and on restart, it tried to rewrite the profile (but no space --> empty file) and therefore has an issue on startup. After deleting the file and some "temp files" its working again.
Is this possible?
-
thanks! As for the root cause, do you have any idea what I should do differently to not brake the profile.xml?
-
renaming worked for me! Thanks
-
using the forum search I found the same problem here:
solved by renaming (moving) /storage/.kodi.FAILED/userdata/profiles.xml to /storage/.kodi.FAILED/userdata/profiles.backup.xml
Does anyone know how this happened and how I can keep this from happening?
+ bonus question: safe mode did rename my hostname. How can I change this back?
edit: this was not true (hostname in settings and real hostname was different. However a second reboot did fix the hostname):
Is this a bug or a feature?
