Hey, just found, this is awesome. Boots on my bad cheap Russian TV box - Iconbit XDS84K (1G, 8G, RK3229). Everything except Wi-Fi works, it seems, with the image: rk3229-a95xr1.img.gz from the first post. Enough for me to just daily drive it. I don't know of any forks and stuff.

However, the UI runs at like 10-20 fps, which isn't all that good. Scrolling is a big pain. The videos work just fine though, and the player UI when playing a video is smooth as butter. Any fix?

Try setting the resolution to 720p.

leds can be easily fixed by editing dtb file

Not a huge deal, but I am guessing this can't be changed once I flashed it to NAND?

Code

My box is MXQPRO4K RK3229. 1g 8g.

I have the same TV Box - MXQPRO4k. I used the mxqpro4kpro image from ilmich last update. Everything runs great with 720p resolution. Still shows a red light when on instead of blue, but whatever.

Thanks again for your work on this. I flashed it to NAND and it works great. Are you planning a libreelec-10 fork?

Quote from Flecky

Hello, I saw this message and I was wondering if you could explain how to install in nand with the DD method.

My device is RK3318 and with the Armbian multitool I can't do it.

With rkdevelop tool I have not tried it yet, but I think it would be easier and more comfortable to do it with DD.

Can you help me? Thank you.

What kind of problem are you having with the Armbian multitool? I just flashed the NAND with this last version on my MXQ Pro using the multi tool... YMMV

Here are some modified instructions from https://www.armbian.com/rk322x-tv-box/ :

• Build or download your preferred Kodi image and a copy of the Multitool;
• Burn the Multitool on an SD card; once done, place the uncompressed (i.e. no .gz extension) Kodi image file in images folder of the SD card FAT partition;
• Plug the SD card in the TV box and plug in the power cord. After some
  seconds the blue led starts blinking and the Multitool appears;
  
• OPTIONAL: you can do a backup of the existing firmware with “Backup flash” menu option; (this takes a while; 1+ hour)
• From main menu select "Burn image to flash"
• Select target device, probably "rknand0"
• Select source image, should be the image that you put in the images folder from step 2
• For the next question "Do you want to skip idbloader sectors?" I selected "Yes"
• Once the flash is complete, remove the sdcard and select "Reboot"
• At this point it should load Kodi disk setup, then reboot again to Kodi setup

Often these boxes are sold as a model, but internally they may be different.

For example mine is an mxq4k, but the board is identical to the one present in v88 mars

My device is branded as a MXQ4k as well, but has a RK3229 chip in it. I want to order another one ($37 on Amazon) since with ilmich last update it is running great, but I am afraid I will get something completely different.

try with this image

and let me known

Runs great! HD streams now stop/close quickly without reboot. Thanks for all of your work on this build! It is much appreciated.

Quote from ilmich

thanks Dave, seems a bug of rkmpp.

I can try to fix, but can you please tell me which image are you using in order to rebuild only that one for testing?!

cheers

Sure thing! That would be great!

I am using: LibreELEC-RK322x.arm-9.2-devel-20220106221405-0df0732-rk3228a-mxq4kpro.img.gz

Thanks!

Hi Dave, can you please share some logs?!

Sure thing, thanks. Here is the crash log from the last crash/reboot. All I did was start a stream from a TVHeadend channel and stop it. Once I hit the stop button, the system hangs for a few seconds and then reboots.

I just wanted to give some feedback on this last version (20220106). I have a MHQ 4k Pro and I use Kodi for Movie/TV Show playback through a Jellyfin backend and also for Live TV using a TVHeadend backend. Everything seems to be working really well. I was able to run it at the full 4k, however, most video playback was affected (stutter, freezing, etc.) at any resolution above 720p. h265 playback worked well. The only issue I really ran into is with the TVHeadend PVR client. Whenever I "stop" or change the channel from a hi-def OTA channel, Kodi freezes and reboots. I am not sure if this is a Kodi problem, a hardware problem, or a TVHeadend PVR add on problem, so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Will that work for the MXQ Pro if I just use the device tree from that version?

Quote from markosc

I just installed the previous version, before the 14 day update and tvheadend works perfect and the plugins are the same version......LibreELEC-RK322x.arm-9.2-devel-20211030071512-eda4ed8-rk3229-v884k.img.gz

Thanks for the info. I'll give this version a try.

Quote from ilmich

I've discovered some trouble with latest rkmpp(hardware decoding library) builted in my images.

In the next few days, I'll release my latest builds of legacy libreelec (I'm working on mainlining) with some nice improvements on WiFi ssv6051p and other small fixes.

thanks for the patience

Awesome. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks for your work on this.

Quote from ilmich

shMatrix try with one of this builds. My experimental build is abandoned for now.

I tried version LibreELEC-RK322x.arm-9.2-devel-20211206125054-c4cb7b6-rk3228a-mxq4kpro.img.gz on my MQX Pro 4k. Everything seemed to work and it goes through the menus pretty smoothly. However, The screen freezes when trying to view HD video through the tvheadend TV client. Any ideas or tweaks I could try?
