Unable to install XBMC.phyton 3.06 dependency (I think).

Python3 is only available from Kodi v19 (Matrix), only Python2 is available under Leia.

Please look for Leia (v18) compatible addons, because only those will run.

I jsut tried your s905 generic image on my mxqpro4k. It does not boot with any of the 3 relevant dtb files (gxbb_p200_1G_100M.dtb, gxbb_p200_1G_100M_RealtekWiFi.dtb and gxbb_p200_1G_mxq_pro_4k.dtb).

Did you use the toothpick method again? I saw that you tried an LE11 image before, but the new (mainline) and the old (3.14) aml_autoscript are not compatible with each other.

A simple question. What firmware should I download for an MXQ box (m201c) with S805, 1 GB and 10/100 networking?

Obs.: My Thanks to Google Translate.

If by firmware you mean an Android ROM image (either stock or custom), then you are in the wrong forum. If you mean the LibreELEC image, it's not a firmware, just an operating system.

So, If you're looking for the second one, you'll probably need the HD18Q LibreELEC image.

The problem is that no low-level USB functions seem to work at the moment.

Have you tried connecting a different type of USB device (e.g. flash drive) to the OTG cable? Because if that doesn't work either, then we have to check the problem elsewhere.

The interesting thing is that lsusb should also show the USB host chip (or the root hub).

If you unplug the OTG-cable and boot without that (empty first port), is the output still null?

Quote from alrama

my setup

Unfortunately, I don't have such a device, but are you sure this USB Y-cable with OTG-adapter is suitable for this purpose?

Maybe the middle two USB wires (DATA+/DATA-) are not shared in this Y-splitter (or I don't know, what is this), so I think this will not work.

I think the tuner only gets the power and that's it.

You should try adding a dedicated power supply to the 2nd micro USB port (I mean a real power supply, not a phone charger) and connecting the tuner to the first via OTG.

Hello good afternoon,

I would like to know what is the latest oscam compliancy compatible with K1 Pro S905D, with LibreELEC v9.2.8.7.

and the latest version of Tvheadend for LibreELEC v9.2.8.7.

I have oscam and Tvheadend installed but I can not access via web.

Everything in the repository runs without problems. Are you sure you are trying to access your box on the right IP address and port?

Tvheadend 4.2 and 4.3: http://<IP-of-your-box>:9981

OScam: http://<IP-of-your-box>:8888

Unfortunately, there are problems with the recently published image, so I do not recommend using it for now.

I have sent you a message about how to resolve these issues, please read them.

I have installed this build on mx-iii g and everything works fine. But I have tried to install some docker addons and does not work. Is there something that I have to enable to make it work?

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to make it work.

Quote from dtech

IMPORTANT NOTES - Please read them carefully before asking:

...

• Docker only works under 64-bit SoCs (S905/S905X/S905D), it is not available on 32-bit systems (S802/S805/S812)!

Quote from power_g

I have the default skin (i dont remember the name i think estuary) The option of power menu that is missing i think its "Reboot from eMMC/NAND"

I modified the affected menu file, please try it:

Index of /misc/shutdown-menu-mod/

Quote from power_g

So it depends on which theme I will use? But which theme to use so I can add

boot option in power menu ?

In principle, the power menu of each skin can be edited. Mine is also edited, for example:

Which skin are you using?

Quote from power_g

Hello to everyone. Could you please add a dual boot (or reboot to Android) option to power menu ? There are only power off reboot and exit options

Each Kodi skin uses its own powermenu config, so there's not much point in adding it to Estuary by default, not to mention that this menu item will appear in English on non-English languages as well, which is quite confusing for some users. I don't think you're using the Estuary skin either, because there's no Exit menu item under LE.

It would be nice to see a dmesg under LE as well. By the way, does lsusb show your tuner?

Quote from jim_p

Do you really own so many devices? :O

• 4 pcs of WeTek: 1 x Play, 1 x Play 2, 2 x Core,
• 4 pcs of Mecool/Videostrong: 2 x KI Pro (GXL), 1 x KI Plus (GXBB), 1 x KII Pro (GXBB),
• 2 pcs of OTT M8S+: 1 x w/AP6330, 1 x w/BCM4335B0,
• 2 pcs of MXQ (1 x HD18Q and 1 x m201d).
• 1 pc of Odroid C1+.

*Although my Play 2 is half-dead and my KI Plus is unfortunately completely dead at the moment.

Quote from jim_p

I assume that the first one is the correct dtb.

If the wifi doesn't work, you need the second one. It differs only in that.

Quote from jim_p

I want to try it on an mxq pro 4k with 1g of ram, which means I have never used that image before.

Thus, is the right image the one with "k_series" in its name (from the releases page in github)?

I only upload images to GitHub that made for those devices which I have. I define all of them precisely in the first post linked above.

The other images are in the 3rdParty category, which are only available from my own server. The links are also in the first post.

In short, you need exactly the Generic_S905 image. Regarding dtb, I'm just guessing:

gxbb_p200_1G_100M.dtb or gxbb_p200_1G_100M_RealtekWiFi.dtb.

Quote from jim_p

May I ask what is the new image for s905?

It is essentially the same as the previous MXQ-4K-Pro_2G image, but it contains all the GXBB/GXL dtbs in the device_trees directory. So, you no longer need to download the right dtb separately, just overwrite the dtb.img with the right one.

Quote from jim_p

Also, that automatic update notice at the end. Does it mean that the user can now use libreelec's built in function to update it, i.e. from 9.2.8.6 to 9.2.8.7?

I need to quote myself from the #1 post:

Quote from dtech

NOTICE: If the auto update is enabled, but the installed version is not the latest, then the listed devices will automatically download and install it after restarting.

Sometimes it's worth looking back at the first post, because I usually write the bigger changes there.

As I see it, the problem here will be different. First, loading dhd is unnecessary if your device has Realtek wifi. The error also applies to this, the 8188eu module seems to be loaded, but cfg80211 is required for the wifi to work, but it crashes due to the incorrect dhd-config. The dhd is only required for Broadcom-based chips.

Question #1: Did you use my Wetek Play project directory as a base? Because then you have to delete this file:

LibreELEC-AML/projects/<YOURPROJECTNAME>/filesystem/usr/lib/modules-load.d/wireless.conf

This will force load dhd even if it is not needed. And that might be the problem for you.

Question #2: Which dtd file did you use in your project?

  # Kernel extra targets to build
    KERNEL_UBOOT_EXTRA_TARGET="<filename>.dtd"

Quote from qUE_ARM

I've got Libreelec-AML 9.2.8.7 to build and boot on the MX box, but I'm having an issue with the Realtek 8188ETV wireless.

Libreelec doesn't allow me to enable the 'wireless active' option. I've SSH'd and lsusb, the device is present so I assume the drivers are working.

Various places have mentioned Realtek wireless support is a bit of an issue of contention for the libreelec team, so I'm expecting some pain getting this working.

Unfortunately, this is my first outing in compiling the linux kernel so I'm really a n00b when it comes to this. Is there any recommendations in tackling this issue?

I can post dmesg dump if that would be any help.

The Realtek 8188* is a general USB chip, I also have an external one (TP-Link TL-WN722 v2).

I use an external module for this in my builds, instead of the integrated module of the kernel.

First, you need to check if it is enabled in your kernel configuration, because if it is, it should be disabled:

# CONFIG_RTL8188EU is not set

Next, add RTL8188EU-aml to the ADDITIONAL_DRIVERS variable in the options file in your project directory.

If that doesn't help either, then please send me a log file: journalctl | paste
