I actually have 2 tplink wn722n v1 (v1` is the one with the atheros chipset, v2 and v3 have a realtek one), plus a wn821n which also comes with an atheros chipset.

I got the first wn722n back in early 2017 that I got my rpi zero non-w. And during the first lockdown in 2020 I was given another pi zero non-w, so I looked for the same card. I got it, and I lost it a few days later. It is in my house for sure, but I can not find it. And that is the reason I got the wn821n during the second lockdown.

I know that this is a very reliable card and that is sold very expensive in ebay etc because of its chipset which is very hacking friendly (kali linux + atheros card in monitor mode). All 3 were tested and they work great on my tvboxes (mxq and mxqpro4k).

And because of that rarity, I do not trust them with anyone but me. Imagine 3 excited kids (plus their friends) running around a room and something protuding out of the tvbox. I give it 1 month before they break the adapter and the usb that is plugged in

Anyway. since the family has not called me today, I am trying to reproduce that timeout notification on my rpi3b+ by removing the network and connecting to it again. So far I have failed, but what shall I look for in dmesg or in a similar log whent it happens?

I think I had changed that to my country's domain before gifting the tvbox, but I will ask tomorrow. I have definitely changed it on le 9.2.x on my rpi3b+ and on ce on my mxqpro4k.

I also had that timeout issue on the first days of le 9.x (if not 8.x) on my rpi3b+. I was so upset back then that I wanted to throw my router out of the window, but I kept it because my isp forces its usage for voip telephony.

I do not think it is a reception issue so as to look for repeaters etc.

The router is about 5m (= 15ft) away from the tvbox and has almost visual contact (the router is "hidden" behind a corner). I will make a small sketch to show you if needed, but I do not know how to name various stuff in english.

Also, neither the router, nor the tvbox support 5ghz wireless and the only ethernet cable in the house (the one that connects the router to an old pc) is too short to cover that distance.

Rebooting the router had no effect too. Shall I bite the bullet and delete the forementioned folder?

---edit

I did delete the folder and now le shows all the wireless networks again.

However, it fails to connect to the home's wireless network, poping a notification that something timed out. Any ideas about that?

I have a weird issue with my mxq (s805, 1g/8g, all black version, le 9.2.8 installed on internal rom). While it was at my possession, it had some wifi issues that I mentioned, but things improved after the upgrade to 9.2.8 a few weeks ago to the point that a stable connection was available almost every time.

And a few days ago, I gifted it to a family of 3 kids so as to keep them busy while the parents are at work.

Today is the day that the parents would put it to work. So, with my guidance (go there, select this etc) they tried to connect it to the home's wireless network. They entered the key, pressed finish and since then EVERY wireless network under connections has dissapeared!

Neither rebooting the box helped, nor did disabling and reenabling the wireless connection. Apart from their home's wireless network, there are a couple more from other homes near them.

The 2 cell phones they have can detect the home's wifi (and the ones from the neighborhood) and are connected to it with no issues, so I assume the router is not to blame.

Any ideas about it? One thing that is relatively easy to do is to delete /storage/.cache/connman/ via kodi's file manager, but will it help? The family is not tech savvy and I am miles away so as to visit them and check it myself.

We changed to LE11 and you likely track LE10 nightlies that stopped now.

The LE11 builds are not really usable yet.

I noticed that all the images now have "11" at their names. A few days ago, only the ones for rpi4 did.
The server at up.legg.ga still lists those le 11 updates under the le 10 "branch".

Has the up.legg.ga repository shut down? It was working yesterday, but today its releases.json shows no images for x64. Moreover, there are no images for x64 (and other architectures) in test.libreelec.tv, so I assume there may be some issue with the build system.

Right now I am on 20210809-082c799 since Tuesday.

LibreELEC v9.2.8 has been released for some Amlogic S805/S8X2/S905 devices and WeTek Play.

In order to make the mxq's remote work, I had to "install" some configuration (?) file for it. I can't remember its name or where I found it. Do I have to do it again after the upgrade?

Finally, new images today, for nightly 20210610-f547d15. I hope the build system is back to normal.

I know about releases.json and that it has not been there for weeks now. As flubshi said, I am talking about the images.

I was sooo bored today that I upgraded nightly 20210602-f6b7711 to nightly 20210604-f6b7711, although it is practically the same.

There have been no new builds sice June 4th (last nightly in test.libreelec.tv is 20210604-f6b7711), although the github page has 15-20 newer comments since then. Did something happen in the build system?

---edit

That build is actually from June 2nd, because this is when commit f6b7711 was made.

You are right about everything. I understand.

I would raise my hand, although I have no experience in facebook pages management. But now that I know the issues it faces, I would rather avoid it. How about deleting it completely?

I see... I can't unfollow it anymore due to some facebook ui glitch, but thanks for sharing.

Feel free to remove the facebook button from the main page and lock this thread.

Hahahaha!

I will test them again with those images from kszaq and report back. Currently, all my sd cards are in my rpis.

Can I use that too on my mxqpro 4k (device tree gxb_p200_1g)?

Omg, I feel like Obelix asking for a sip of the magic potion

Goodmorning everyone.

I admit this is something I wanted to ask for ~1 year now, and now that I have a few minutes to spend, I decided to open a thread about it.

So, as a le fan since late 2016/early 2017, I liked and followed libreelec's page on facebook so as to get the latest news in time. But, it has now been a year (more or less) since facebook says that the page is not available and the only thing a search returns is this shady group with the same name.

LibreELEC

What happened? Did you decide to close it? The remaining 5 links on the main page (github, twitter etc) work just fine.

Oh ok. I am staying at the previous image because my mxq is indeed all black.

I already have a working (and configured) installation of le 9.2.6 on my (s805) mxq from your images here.

Index of /S805/

Is it worth doing a fresh install from the images you made today? I assume I can back up my current configuration and restore it when the new image is installed. I am interested to see if it solves the the wifi connection issues I have (message 74).
