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.

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.

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"...

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).

Could you please check?

I can't reach my server either, the problem is with the ISP: TTL expired in transit.

Edit (9:00 CET): The connection seems to be restored now.

Please update LibreELEC Add-ons repository on your box, and check for Game add-ons.

I will try to compile missing game.* (libretro) addons and add to my repo, please be patient. (approx. 1-2 hours)

What box do you have?

Quote from chewitt

Install the older 9.0 image (last official emmc install image for Hub) and then update to 9.2.8

krisux

It is not a bad idea, but if we leave this as a plan B, you can try installing mine. If it doesn't work, you can try the official image, then the update.

Quote from james_librez

hi. is there any possibilty to have Retroplayer on these images?

I haven't really dealt with game-related content, so unfortunately I don't know the answer.

Quote from krisux

Can i install to internal?

In theory, there is no obstacle, the zip is also available. But of course I can't test this either due to the lack of this device.

Quote from krisux

Wow. I will be testing tonight. Thank u

Any news?

Sometime earlier this year I tried the following ASUS Xonar cards with C-Media CMI8788 chips (a.k.a Oxygen HD) under LE10, both analog and S/PDIF outputs worked (including passthrough):

• ASUS Xonar DX (AV100, PCIe),
• ASUS Xonar D1 (AV100, PCI),
• ASUS Xonar DS (AV66, PCI).

However, I also read about these cards that they actually cause sound quality problems with newer generation PCs. But my old i7-3770 had no such problem.

This is my first LE-9.2 legacy snapshot image for WeTek Hub: http://libreelec.dtech.hu/snapshots/20220815/

99% that it will work without errors, but I would like to ask for feedback.

Quote from krisux

any image work with wetek hub?

The Hub is the only WeTek device I don't have, but I'll see what I can do for it. I ask for a little patience...

SupervisedThinking

I tried writing to you on Slack before, but you didn't reply. I have submitted a PR on GitHub to update the makemkv package, please check it.

You're right avl6211. I also have wetek play 1 with tuner based on avl6211. Is it possible to somehow extract drivers from one image and insert them to another?

The dvb drivers of WeTek boxes are not universal, these do not work on other boxes and in many cases conflict with other drivers. So it is no coincidence that dvb driver addons are disabled on WP1 (and also on WP2).

Quote from sarik0000

Actually I have venz k1 or vigica s100 which is based on amlogic s805 with dvb based on aml6211 and tried with HD18Q image, all is ok but in the tvheadend I can not see tv adapters. Enabling dvb drivers does not help.

That's actually avl6211, not aml6211.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any published open source drivers for Availink demodulator chips under the 3.10 kernel.
