After fresh install to NAND I just can get black screen - so far made it work including IR-remote (black Terratec NEC remote) as update to v8 after no success via disp_cap/guisettings.xml. Any other proposal?

If it worked from an SD card before, that's a little weird to me.
Did you use the zip package for the installation, or did you upgrade from an earlier version?
(Sorry, I just missed the point again: "After fresh install ...")

Loading alsa-device via module-udev-detect (want to try to utilize networked audio from Linux Laptops) leads to:
pulseaudio[2118]: E: [pulseaudio] ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to open module /usr/lib/pulse/module-alsa-card.so: /usr/lib/pulse/libalsa-util.so: undefined symbol: pa_alsa_ucm_device_update_available
maybe related to https://bugs.gentoo.org/700870 .

I have to look into this, but I ask for your patience because I may not be available for a few days.

is there an s905 build for my MXQ-PRO 4k

The build is in progress, when it's ready I'll copy it to the same directory I linked earlier. (~1.5h)

Quote from Shonk

is there an easy way for me to upgrade the copy on internal nand apart from installtointernal then restore a backup?

If you already have my build installed on the eMMC, then boot from there, and copy the .tar file via Samba to the Update directory. Then you don't have to worry about saving/restoring, you just have to restart the box and the update will run automatically after starting.

Or, if it's easier for you via SSH, do this:

cd ~/.update/
wget https://libreelec.dtech.hu/snapshots/20231231-master-5167113/LibreELEC-Generic_S912.arm-9.2.8.13.tar
reboot

The end result will be the same.

Here it is:

Index of /snapshots/20231231-master-5167113/

Please send me a feedback after you try it. Thanks.

When you start up kodi you get a popup in the top right

Okay, now it's clear to me what you were talking about earlier, this is originally a patch from OSMC.

So far, no one has asked it, and I haven't dealt with it in particular, because I wasn't bothered by that popup message, but I added the patch at your request.

The build is in progress, I will post the download link when it is done.

The answer came sooner than I thought:

In newer Kodi versions, they have been replaced with the following, which no longer has a backport for Leia:
metadata.tvdb.com -> metadata.tvdb.com.python
metadata.themoviedb.org -> metadata.themoviedb.org.python
metadata.tvshows.themoviedb.org -> metadata.tvshows.themoviedb.org.python

Sorry for the late answer...

Quote from Shonk

When scanning TV Shows it scans the folder's and adds the images for the folders but never scans the files in the folders

when you go into the addons there is a typo on the TV Shows addon which is suspect is what's causing the problem

i think maybe people who have updated to this build instead of going straight to this build may not get this problem

See image atached

I have installed metadata.tvdb.com-3.3.0 and that is working fine (What i used on Kazaq 8.2.2.3)

This is not a LibreELEC specific issue, but there might be some confusion in the Kodi repo, I will try to find it and report it on GitHub to the Kodi devs.

Until then, you can access the latest version for Leia here: https://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/leia/metadata.tvdb.com/

I dont know if you do requests but if you do can i request that the cec popup's are suppressed unless its an error

Whilst looking how i can disable it on every boot i ran into coreelec added a patch to suppress them unless there's an error so you could most prob see what they did

I would need a little more detailed information than that, because I don't know exactly what you mean by that.

I have some dvb-t2 android box, see post (unknown s905d dvb-t box), and tried your ROM, but did not work. It wrote DDR init failed...

Any kind of ROMs should not be installed on a box that is not properly identified. Moreover, this is particularly true for boxes with tuners. If you have several pieces of this box, it would be best to make a flashdump from one of the working pieces.

In PRi4, there is no hardware decoding option for AV1 codec, so I am not surprised that these videos are stuttering.

Thank you for your description. However, a small improvement was made in the last version. In the second half of November, I published v9.2.8.12, which includes a new Generic_S805 image.

Although this may cause problems for some older bootloaders, that's why I also published the classic HD18Q and m201d images.

If you are trying the Generic_S805 image and the bootloader of your box supports multi-dtb loading, you do not need to choose which box is yours, the bootloader will do it instead of you. In addition, the configuration of both remote controls can be found in this image.

So, for a new installation, I recommend that trying the Generic_S805 image as the first attempt.

I have another question: I have a S912 box (Generic H96Pro 2GB/16GB) that has a problem with the shutdown process: Basically it doesn't work as the machine simply restarts instead of powering off. In Android there's no such problem.

As I have seen in the first round, this is a common problem with this box:

Remote power trouble

Hi, I am still trying to get my head round why the remote power on / off behaves differently in terms of Android v. LE on my H96 Pro Plus 3/32 4K, no matter what remote.conf file I use. On Android, when on the blue led is on and when off a red led is on. On LE, when on the blue led light is significantly weaker and when off there is no led light at all. Also I am unable to power the box on by the remote. Is there any hope for a fix / workaround to avoid having unplug and plug the power cable…

Of course, I didn't look into it enough, I didn't really have much time for anything yet...

Quote from Zameero

Is there really no hope for the newer dav1d on this legacy build?

I'm not saying it's impossible, it's just extremely time-consuming, and unfortunately I don't have enough of it right now.
In addition, there is also the pitfall that it turns out in the process that it is not feasible. (Just like the HDR with VP9 under 3.14 kernel.)

Quote from Grzesb

I want run LE without any HDMI.

But when cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_cap > /storage/.kodi/userdata/disp_cap

If the HDMI is not plugged in, the source is also empty, so you will create an empty file without any contained resolution.

Instead of this method, try to add a resolution statically, like this:

echo 1080p60hz > /storage/.kodi/userdata/disp_cap

It is also more than enough for simple VNC remote connection.

Unfortunately, I can't help you with other distros, try their own forum.

This is the dtd patch in my release (v9.2.8.12) for the 3.10 kernel:

LibreELEC-AML/projects/S8X2/devices/M8S-Plus/patches/linux/M8S-Plus_KII.patch at master · dtechsrv/LibreELEC-AML

'Just enough OS' for Kodi for some Amlogic TV boxes - dtechsrv/LibreELEC-AML

github.com

But it wasn't so hidden that it couldn't be found.

What is the purpose of searching for this dtd/dts? And which LE version are you trying?

Quote from someoneelse

Can I use LibreELEC-Generic_S805.arm-9.2.8.12.tar for update, or better use LibreELEC-HD18Q.arm-9.2.8.12.tar?

Yes, it can be used as an update from HD18Q, although you won't notice any added extras.

This image is especially beneficial for a new installation because it is created by merging the separate HQ18Q and m201d images.

I originally planned to replace these two images above with the Genecic_S805 image, but it turns out that some bootloaders don't handle multi-dtbs. But, in the case of your box, there is no such problem.

Its kodi leia or up and python 3 ?

This version is still based on Kodi Leia v18.9, with Python 2 support only.
