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...

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).

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.

Should you create an update package so I can use the function "Apply update from EXT"?

Here is the zip that can be used by the Android recovery, but the warranty is ABSOLUTELY 0%:

I removed the link because I didn't get any feedback about its functionality.

What's certain is that your original Android will be overwritten, which you can only restore if you have the original image, so use this at your own risk!

I'm not sure about the S905D cause the bootscreen says S905X (don't know if X is simple a wildcard).

Without a built-in tuner, the S905D doesn't make much sense. Based on the photos and the description above, it has an S905X SoC (this X is not a wildcard character, it is a real X.), so I recommend the MXQ-4K-Pro_2G image for testing, without any dtb replacement.

Since I'm also having issues with my Odroid box and I've got 2 more Xoros hooked up to various TVs in the house, I would like to use a tool to generate an edid.dat file to make sure the proper video settings are used on boot. How do I do that? Thx!

Quote from hiep.ton

Do you have any estimation when you could release a build for it?

Please write the img.gz to the flash drive, then download this file, extract it and overwrite the original aml_autoscript.

Unfortunately it didn't work for me, but since your box doesn't have an SD slot, it might work for you.

A feedback would be appreciated.

OMG! Sorry, but what is this (blacklisted) repo orgy? chewitt is several times right.

Suggested reading:

Official:Forum rules/Banned add-ons - Official Kodi Wiki

By the way, the Youtube addon has 9 dependencies, if any of them is not a good version, or if its configuration has been overwritten by an unsupported version, then there is no subsequent miracle cure, you can start the entire installation and configuration from scratch.

Quote from gthebest

Hello dtech. Lately I have some problems with many addons, unfortunally they not working anymore (for example the promice, elementum, youtube).

I only have Youtube installed, but with M8S+ everything is fine with playback.

Is there any way to install a Kodi 19 version of Libreelec ?

It cannot work with kernel 3.10. Amcodec support was dropped from version 19 by the Kodi development team.

Quote from gthebest

I think the problem is that many addons they are not anymore compatible with the Kody 18

If you installed from Kodi 18 repo, this is simply not possible. My opinion is that you have some repo installed that is not compatible with Leia.

Please check the add-on properties:

If you don't see the same thing as in my second screenshot in the update menu, then it is not installed from Kodi's own repository. If that's really the case, I think you should delete the other repo, because it's 100% incompatible with Leia.

Honestly, I don't think I've ever tried USB booting on any of my devices before, but I did it now.

Well, neither on the S805 nor the S812 devices work. Has anyone had any success at all from USB on Meson8*?

I have an Amlogic m201 (S68) with its detail information below (I ran CPU Z app to get this information):

Kernel architecture: armv7l

Java VM: Dalvik 1.6.0

Android version 4.4.2

API Level 19

I think you need the HD18Q image, not the m201d. The problem is that I still have no idea what kind of device you have, because booting from external devices requires the toothpick method. However, I have no idea where the reset button is on an unknown box.

Can I ask for some photos of the box, including the bottom and the back?

Hi Dtech,

Could you help:

1. Create an update package for MXQ m201d (512M/8G) a.k.a. "all black" versions with 512 MB RAM only? Because my Android box has only 512 MB.

2. Create an installation package from USB for MXQ m201d (512M/8G) a.k.a. "all black" versions with 512 MB RAM only? Because my android box has only USB ports, no SD cards. Or could you show me the link, commands to boot libreelec from USB?

Thank you very much in advance!

May I know what device you have?

Quote from jim_p

Is this correct? If so, how can I add some boot parameters to it?

The cmdline parameters are hardcoded into the kernel, namely by the kernel config:

LibreELEC-AML/linux.arm.conf at master · dtechsrv/LibreELEC-AML

'Just enough OS' for Kodi for some Amlogic TV boxes - LibreELEC-AML/linux.arm.conf at master · dtechsrv/LibreELEC-AML

github.com

But kernel also loads the initargs variable into the cmdline, so if you add what you need, it might work.

Read initargs variable:

fw_printenv | grep initargs

You can change it with this command:

fw_setenv initargs "... variable=value"

The ... means the original value, the whole string returned by fw_printenv | grep initargs.

I think what comes next is quite clear: variable=value.

Quote from jim_p

Can this run, and return the right result, on android too?

I have no idea, I don't even know the time, when was the last time I ran Android on a box.

mgear

Please log in to your box via SSH and try this:

REMOVED CODE

After that you need to reboot and check if there is any change.

Update: The new v9.2.8.5 image includes an updated tz package (2022a).
