Thank you for pointing me towards the LE 9.2.8 release. It would be nice to have something a little more current to play with. Perhaps even LE11+.

I would also recommend the LE11, but if you want to use the built-in tuner in your WP2, it will unfortunately not work at the moment.

As a reassurance, I have the same TvHeadend (v4.2.8-36 and v4.3-6091) and Oscam version (2022-10-22) in my LE9.2 repo as in the current LE11.

Leia might be out of date, but I'm updating some packages for it: https://github.com/dtechsrv/Libre…master/packages

Wait dont you mean decreasing?

Oh, come on... When will there be more steps within the same interval? If you reduce the number of steps, there will definitely be a larger distance between two values.

This number simply determines how many equal units it divides the entire volume range into.

Settings -> System -> Audio -> Volume control steps

The default value is 20, but increasing this value allows finer tuning.

I am trying to go from 9.2.8 CoreELEC since they dont support -ng for S912 to LibreELEC 11.0.1 but upon burning the microSD, setting the correct DTB for the box and inserting it into the box and then do a 'reboot update' and the screen goes black after the initial splash screen for Beeliknk. I dont know if I am doing something wrong with the new ways to boot from SD or do I need to flash it back to stock firmware first then try again?

For versions based on the mainline kernel (LE10+), the dtb setting is different compared to legacy versions.

Please check if you have done the settings correctly as described in the description:

- booting other roms : LibreELEC-n200-AP6330_2G.arm-9.2.8.8.img.gz and LibreELEC-MXIII-Plus.arm-9.2.8.8.img.gz respectively to no avail

I have a hunch that you only have 1GB of RAM in your box, and then these images won't even start.

Please try this method:

Post

RE: Legacy v9.2 (LTS) builds for Amlogic S805/S8X2, S905/S912 and all WeTek boxes

[…]

Please try the n200 image with this kernel:

https://libreelec.dtech.hu/_TEST_/MXIII-G_1GB-kernel/

If it starts with this, your Android is unfortunately only lying that you have 2GB of RAM, but in fact it only manages 1GB.

command doesnt do mutch also after it trying to boot whitout sd same result not booting

Nothing is displayed because the output is sent to /dev/null. Okay, new round...

echo $(cat /proc/device-tree/le-dt-id)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dtb bs=256k count=1
dd if="/usr/share/bootloader/device_trees/gxl_p212_2g_nand.dtb" of=/dev/dtb bs=256k

If it has already run, please send me the output as well.

Quote from dynamic2

tryed to update the internal again and seen in the writing its updating the device tree to gxl_p212_2g.dtb can i force it that it ll use gxl_p212_2g_nand.dtb when updating from tar

It's quite interesting to me how that can happen, because the update script looks for the le-dt-id value in the dtb, and it is clearly "gxl_p212_2g_nand".

Please boot from the SD card containing the v9.2.8.8 LE image and apply the following command:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dtb bs=256k count=1 2> /dev/null
dd if="/flash/device_trees/gxl_p212_2g_nand.dtb" of=/dev/dtb bs=256k 2> /dev/null

Then turn off the box, remove the SD card and try to boot from the internal eMMC.

Quote from dynamic2

ive a Tanix TX5 Pro S905X 2GB and its installed on internal eMMC i reinstalled again till LibreELEC-MXQ-4K-Pro_2G.arm-9.2.8.6

Okay, we are now one step closer to the fact that you are using the factory dtb of MXQ Pro 4K+, which is already named gxl_p212_2g_nand.dtb in the Generic_S905 version since 9.2.8.7.

I still recommend testing an SD card with the latest version (v9.2.8.8) and the dtb mentioned above.

Quote from dynamic2

Runing LibreELEC-MXQ-4K-Pro_2G.arm-9.2.8.6 when trying to update to LibreELEC-Generic_S905.arm-9.2.8.8.tar i get:

###Starting debugging shell for boot step: mount _storage…type exit to quit ###
*** Error in mount_storage: mount_commin: Could not mount LABEL=STORAGE ***

i updated before whit the tar files and didnt had this kind of error.

You did not write exactly what kind of device you have, nor whether the LE runs from an SD card or an eMMC. If you boot from an SD card, you should try a clean installation first (with the correct dtb) on another SD card to see if it boots at all.

Quote from hundrakg

ok, thanks, but how come that my XBOX One does not support 23.976 with kodi in the same TV(lg oled b1) as my other pc and rpi3 does?

This is OS and/or driver specific, so Microsoft may be the only one who can answer your question.

Quote from krisux

now i have 9.0.2. Should I update as you described?

If you want to update your existing LE9.x system, do this:

Quote from dtech

Install an update package:

To install the update, you need to download, and then copy the update file (tar) to the Update folder via SMB, and then restart the device. The update process will start automatically after the restart.

Quote from Gammeto

After last update an week before, I have a problem - Faled load Kernel modules during start. Video and audio are playing with very long lag, impossible to watch. Device is M8mini with s905 1gb ram

Please send a link from dmesg | paste. Unfortunately, I can't help without a log.

Also important information is which version you updated from and which dtb you are using.

Quote from atari

working, btw does power savings shutdown/susped working on amlogic?

It depends on the factory uboot bootloader, which one is supported. Under Core, only shutdown is supported, suspend does not work, so it has been disabled.

Quote from power_g

Hello to everyone. I have install the new update of LibreELEC 9.2.8.8 to my mxiii-g s812 tv box. Lately I notice that many adds updates can't installed. A message says that "The dependency on xbmc.python version 3.0.0 could not be satisfied". Does anyone can help ?

This is completely independent of the last update. If an add-on requires Python3, Leia is probably no longer supported by it.

Quote from krisux

wetek hub: can i add to internal storage and do update later?

This image can be installed on the eMMC in the legacy way:

Quote from dtech

WeTek NAND Installation Guide: Download the NAND installation zip file, extract it, and copy the contents of the file to the root folder of an FAT32-formatted SD card. Disconnect the power cord from the WeTek device, insert the prepared SD card, and plug in the power jack while pressing the reset button through the toothpick-sized hole in the bottom panel. You need to hold the button about 8-10 seconds until the LibreELEC installation begins.

However, keep in mind that you will not be able to directly update from 9.x images to 11.x or later.

Does the all black mxq with s805 have bluetooth capablities? If so, how easy is it co connect a bt headset to it?

We found out earlier that there is a USB-based RTL8188ETV in your S805 MXQ box, which is just an 802.11n wifi chip without Bluetooth support. So, unfortunately, the answer is that there is no Bluetooth support in your box.

Quote from Zuma

what about for S905D ?

is LE11 ok with it?

The situation is the same because the image is also the same. The AMLGX image supports GXBB/GXL/GXM chips.
