It seems strange to me too, basically it synchronizes with NTP immediately after the DHCP lease on my M8S+:

Jan 01 01:00:17 M8S-Plus connmand[2191]: eth0 {add} address 10.60.0.55/24 label eth0 family 2
Jan 01 01:00:17 M8S-Plus connmand[2191]: ntp: adjust (jump): +1666538362.234929 sec
Oct 23 17:19:39 M8S-Plus connmand[2191]: eth0 {add} route 10.60.0.0 gw 0.0.0.0 scope 253 <LINK>
Oct 23 17:19:39 M8S-Plus connmand[2191]: eth0 {add} route 10.60.0.1 gw 0.0.0.0 scope 253 <LINK>
Oct 23 17:19:39 M8S-Plus connmand[2191]: eth0 {add} route 0.0.0.0 gw 10.60.0.1 scope 0 <UNIVERSE>

But this (line 2) is missing from your log. What regional settings are you using?

if possible you can share TVH on your website. Currently, the link is not working

The previous link is no longer live because it was added to the repository in the meantime. If you use my build, you should find it here:

Add-ons -> Install from repository -> LibreELEC Add-ons -> Services -> Tvheadend Server 4.3 (Alpha)

Quote from rockuz

these appear on your site that is currently down

It is now available. There was an error with the ISP again. The simple reason: the "big fish" has acquired the "small fish" and now they are migrating the entire network to their own existing one. There have been problems for months, but they promise that it will finish soon.

I can't find the third party images on the github mirror.

Could you pass me the link to download them or upload them to github?

I didn't plan to upload the 3rdParty images to GitHub, because they need a lot of space together.

If the server is unavailable, I recommend the Wayback Machine.

Quote from rockuz

I wanted to try to see which of them would go well with my tronsmart s89h, since I tried with the M8S PLUS but it does not raise the wifi or bluetooth.

You need to try the Universal k200 image on your box, with this remote.conf.

Quote from pawnthep

Thanks for adding image for Odroid C1+. It boots without any issues.

Is it possible to install transmission client? I understand that these old kernel devices lack docker support but maybe there is another way like entware installation. Or is there still has working add-on for this.

Docker does not work at all on Meson8* boxes with the old 3.10 kernel, so you should find or build a native transmission binary package.

Our long-standing project policy refuses to build and publish bittorrent clients, so unfortunately I cannot help with this request.

there are test builds from chewitt of LE10 for S905 on odroid c2 ...

chewitt is currently releasing LE11 test builds with Kodi 20, not LE10.

Regardless, this topic applies to the legacy kernel, the mainline kernel works quite differently, so /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb probably no longer exists.

Try this topic:

Thread

Official LE11 Test Images for Amlogic (Kodi-20)

Discussion thread for the official testbuild from https://test.libreelec.tv .

These builds are build against https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv , no additional changed included.

i am sorry i have to digg up this old thread but is this somehow also working for libreelec 10.0 as ther is no /amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb

in the class directory ?

is there still any working solution to force rgb with libreelec 10 ?

I don't think you experienced this on an Amlogic box/board, because there is no LE10 support for these devices.

Quote from power_g

Hello everyone. I have a problem with the new version. Each time i start ny tvbox with libreelec the time is wrong. I reboot it in Android firmware (without the sd card) and after that i reboot again in Libreelec. After that the time is correcting. Any idea watch going on?

What does "wrong" mean? Maybe it resets to 0:00? Or can the time be shifted by one or more hours?

The time zone database was updated (2022c) in the last version (v9.2.8.6), so if the error is that only the hours value is incorrect, please check your time zone setting. But, if the error is different, then I would ask for a Kodi log.

Quote from thadrumr

I did find them on your Github though not sure if you are moving everything over there or what.

It couldn't have been that hard to find, just look one post up, there's the link: "Mirror (GitHub)".

Apart from the 3rdParty images, all of them are uploaded there, only the LE repo is not available at this time.

Edit: Now it's working again.

hey dtech , any idea why Airplay isn't working here? It shows up, connects but as soon as I play something it just throws me an error on my PC. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer. Since I have never had any Apple devices, I didn't really deal with this protocol.

We should somehow find out what is causing your boot issues, because we can't move on to the next step.

Try creating a new SD card first. But before that, perform a complete overwrite format on it with this program: SD Card Formatter.

Then use this to write the previous snapshot image to the card: LibreELEC-AML USB-SD Creator.

Also, make sure you only use SDHC cards (max. 64 GB), as these boxes are not really compatible with SDXC.

Can you possibly do the same under version 8.2?

Unfortunately, I didn't get much closer to the wifi, but it seems that there is some kind of SDIO wireless chip on the motherboard.

Quote from appas

edit: Actually, looks like I have no network connectivity on the new install. Could you help me with that, still?

In the System info > Network, it says "Link: Not connected". Under LibreELEC > Connections, nothing is shown. Previously, this is where I connected to my Wifi.

Do I need to do something to enable the Wifi on my device, to get my AP to show here?

I need some log from your box. Please log in to the box via SSH over Ethernet, then put this in the command line:

dmesg | paste

... and post the link you received here. Hopefully, something will be revealed about the state of your wifi, because unfortunately I don't know what kind of wifi chip is in your box.

Ok, I tried that image, both the update route and with a clean image. The update just booted to the old version of LibreELEC, as before (and wiped the Update directory). The SD card made with LibreELEC-AML.USB-SD.Creator did not boot - the box fell back to booting from internal NAND, meaning it started the built-in Android OS when that card was inserted.

Okay, I suggested that you skip the update. It won't work either because neither the device model nor the architecture match.

Did you use the toothpick method when booting from the SD card? If not, please use it, beacuse I suspect that the aml_autoscript of version 8.2 and 9.2 are quite different, and it only runs again if the toothpick method is used.

Quote from appas

My box says S905X 2GB/16GB.

I suggest you try to make a clean install on an sd card with S905/MXQ-4K-Pro_2G image.

You need to copy your old remote.conf to the root directory of the card.

Quote from Greenais

I've got "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" in my Chrome and others, but USB_tool downloaded image successfully (probably it uses IP-address internally).

https://github.com/dtechsrv/usb-s…creator.cpp#L55 <- No, it uses FQDN.

I think only the Chrome cache is showing its usual "stupidity"...

Quote from appas

Hi all. I have a MeCool M8S Pro+ that i am trying to upgrade from LibreELEC 8.2.3.1 to 9.2.8.5 from https://github.com/dtechsrv/LibreELEC-AML .

The github page just says

I have placed the .tar file (LibreELEC-M8S-Plus.arm-9.2.8.5.tar) in the Update folder via SMB and rebooted, but i just get the same old version and no upgrade process starts. Is there a way to manually start the update? Why is it not starting automatically, if that's what should happen?

I might add that after a reboot, the Update folder gets emptied...

Mecool M8S Pro+ and OTT M8S+ are not the same box at all.

In addition, several of Mecool M8S Pro+ models are available, so I need an accurate model number. The plain model (without additional letters) is equipped with the S905X SoC, but the "L" version is built with S912. (The S912 is not even supported by me.)

Moreover, updating from v8.2 to v9.2 is not recommended just because the first use native 64-bit Kodi and with native 64-bit binary add-ons, while the second uses 32-bit Kodi (only the kernel is 64-bit).
