Downloaded your dtb, copied it to libreelec partition, named it dtb.img ... tried to boot... still stuck at mxqpro logo

Maybe you need to use another dtb.

Seems that tv_grab_file can't parse the settings.xml file. Can someone confirm?

I would suggest to change from:

Code

ADDON_HOME="$HOME/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.tvheadend42"
ADDON_SETTINGS="$ADDON_HOME/settings.xml"
XMLTV_TYPE=`grep XMLTV_TYPE $ADDON_SETTINGS | awk '{print $3 }' | sed -e "s,value=,," -e "s,\",,g"`
XMLTV_LOCATION_FILE=`grep XMLTV_LOCATION_FILE $ADDON_SETTINGS | awk '{print $3 }' | sed -e "s,value=,," -e "s,\",,g"`
XMLTV_LOCATION_WEB=`grep XMLTV_LOCATION_WEB $ADDON_SETTINGS | awk '{print $3 }' | sed -e "s,value=,," -e "s,\",,g"`
XMLTV_LOCATION_SCRIPT=`grep XMLTV_LOCATION_SCRIPT $ADDON_SETTINGS | awk '{print $3 }' | sed -e "s,value=,," -e "s,\",,g"`

TO

Code

ADDON_HOME="$HOME/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.tvheadend42"
ADDON_SETTINGS="$ADDON_HOME/settings.xml"
XMLTV_TYPE=`xml sel -t -v '//settings/setting[@id="XMLTV_TYPE"]' -nl $ADDON_SETTINGS`
XMLTV_LOCATION_FILE=`xml sel -t -v '//settings/setting[@id="XMLTV_LOCATION_FILE"]' -nl $ADDON_SETTINGS`
XMLTV_LOCATION_WEB=`xml sel -t -v '//settings/setting[@id="XMLTV_LOCATION_WEB"]' -nl $ADDON_SETTINGS`
XMLTV_LOCATION_SCRIPT=`xml sel -t -v '//settings/setting[@id="XMLTV_LOCATION_SCRIPT"]' -nl $ADDON_SETTINGS`

There was already a fix for this merged with LE recently, I just need to update the addon on the server.

-edit

Addon has been updated, you will need to refresh your addons for it to download

Hey GDPR-2 , I updated to your latest build on my two Minix U1s the other day. Since then I'm having some issues. I dont think its necessarily your build but as its what I have installed... I didnt have these issues on the previous build (8.90.1)

First, I have my library on a MySQL server (and share the xml files, advanced, sources etc on the two boxes). Now when I start up, more often than not it will not load the library. If I reboot then sometimes it will load the library.

Second, sometimes when I click to start playing a video it will jump back to the "main menu".

Also, just wanted to say I love your build, keep up the good work!

Have you checked 'wait for network' is enabled in LE-settings?

Quote from kmarci

(Sorry for the late answer...)

I am currently on the previous version, 8,90.1

You should be having no issues then, I checked before I made the release that it would upgrade from .1 to .2, the only thing I can suggest is to turn automatic updates off or do a clean install.

Quote from alex0801

Sorry, it was not clear to me that i have to mount the newer version. And it still makes somehow no sense to me:

If I try to run the newer version (the version I'm trying to install/update?), and it does not work: why should I try to extract the DTB from it?

I guess you referenced a "working new version", but I don't have one. --> still confused a bit.

Thanks, I will try this.

But to understand it completely: From which version did you extract this?

I didn't extract it from any version, it's direct from the source, please don't get confused I only asked you to do that because I didn't have access to a computer to send you the file yesterday.

alex0801 try the following DTB

Quote from thomaz

enabled or disabled doesnt make a real difference on my device.

in both cases audio speeds up and slows down like a broken turntable when using the gui (scrolling through menus, entering text in textboxes, etc) at the same time.

sometimes more, sometimes less.

when i dont touch anything audio and video play fine, mostly.

every couple days it happens all the time and i have to reboot the machine.

if it is part of amcodec why doesnt it "sync" 24p video to 50hz?

when "sync playback to display" is disabled i get the normal 24p 1 seconds stutter on 24p video files.

with the test build i had much more problems.

e.g. mpeg 2 channels had no sound and playback freezed after some seconds.

I have no clue about your first issue, without a way to reproduce what your experiencing then there is very little that can be done.

24p video is supposed to play at 24hz that is why it doesn't sync to 50hz... 24p - Wikipedia

I have just tested all of the MPEG2 samples @ Samples - Official Kodi Wiki and can not reproduce your last issue either, I think you may have a faulty box.

Quote from alex0801

If I boot my backedup old version, I can of course access /usr/share/bootloader. But then I can only access the old dtb, which will not match the new kernel and whatnot of new LE 9.0 alpha version.

I already tried using this dtb, but issue is still there GDPR-2 ...

No idea where I can get a version that works...

Anyone out there using an MXQPro4k with LE9.0 alpha with success?

You have just stated the obvious. You need to mount the newer version to get the file, I already told you this, I would upload it but I have no access to a computer, the DTBs are all different on major Kodi versions due to changes in the kernel if you do not use the correct DTB it will not boot!

Quote from alex0801

Which one? My SD-card i just prepared? Please be more precise where i can "pull out the latest version".

I was already very precise, you can't mount the internal NAND on a computer can you? You will have to mount the sdcard on Linux or use some windows program and then if you browse to the folder I specified then my instructions will become more clear.

Quote from alex0801

Rebooting to android still works, yes.

Then yes it's most probably the dtb at fault, you can try and mount your external card/drive and browse to /usr/share/bootloader to pull out the latest version, I would upload it for you but I'm away from a machine right now.

Quote from alex0801

I have a MXQ Pro 4k box with S905 (1GB RAM, 8GB flash).

Currently it is running kszaq's 8.0.1k version with "gxbb_p200_1G_mxq_pro_4k.dtb". Runs fine.

But I want to update to be able to use Amazon VOD Plugin:

I downloaded LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.90.2.img.gz

as well as the device-tree gxbb_p200_1G_mxq_pro_4k.dtb

I put the image onto SD with help of LE USB creator. I copied the dtp file as "dtb.img" to libreelec-partition. Unmount SD card, put into box, powered up and ... Boot stucks at MXQPRO logo ... forever.

I tried also device-tree from 9.0 folder: gxbb_p200_1G_mxq_pro_4k.dtb

Same issue. Thank god I created a dd-image from my previos, working version.

Any suggestion how to overcome this boot-issue? Is there anything I can do to find out what's going wrong?

if you can't get past the mxq logo then this would most probably be a dtb issue, can you still boot to android?

Thanks for your response. To be frank, I'm running LE7 on the T95M.

So my 'goal' was a bit more difficult, but after some massaging, this is the result (this is a build I forked from kszaq's LE 7.0.12l)

That's awesome, congratulations, which driver did you use?

Quote from Shoog

os.libreelec.tv is a missing dependency with the 8.90 build, this is essential for correct functioning of TVheadend. How would I go about finding the appropriate addons and adding them to my build. If I understand correctly this is a bundle of essential base addons for a correctly functioning Libreelec build.

Shoog

This is incorrect tvh and every other add-on works fine, it's a bug in the dependency system just click ok to continue.

Quote from kmarci

Hello to all! I have a Beelink mini mx III II box, with installed LE 9. My problem is that my system won't update to 8.90.2 version. After I turn my box on, the system reminds me, that there's an update, but when I restart it, the pdate process doesen't start. I checked the update folder, there I can find the downloaded image file. I tried to copy to that folder the image manually, but that didn't help. Do you have an idea what to do?

What version are you trying to upgrade from?

Quote from The Coolest

Thanks for replying.

Well I'll be damned! The above didn't actually work, but what I decided to do was:

Boot up android, go to the device tree folder, grab those files and just look at them with a hex editor.

My conclusion:

On my particular box, which is a Sunvell T95M S905X 2G/8G, the correct configuration is as follows:

Code

fd628_gpio_clk = <&gpio_ao GPIOAO_5 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
fd628_gpio_dat = <&gpio_ao GPIOAO_4 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
fd628_gpio_stb = <&gpio_ao GPIOAO_3 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

It did turn the screen on, but it looks a bit messed up. I guess the LCD is wired differently on this box than it is on the Tanix.

But now that I got it working, I'll fix the mapping tomorrow.

Display More

I had the same problem when trying to use the vfd driver by anpaza so I know what you mean, I would of preferred to use his driver, I did email him/her asking how the mapping is determined as I couldn't understand the document he wrote, it needs explaining in laymans terms but he didn't reply =(.

The problem with the fd628 driver is the LCD mapping is set in the driver files where as with the vfd driver by anpaza it is set in the device tree which is much better for supporting multiple devices and as a bonus he has already provided the settings for the T95M.

The vfd driver is vastly superior as it will scroll the display and let you see things like CPU usage/temperatures/disk space.

I can use both drivers as a work around but it's not been high on my priorities as it's time consuming adding it and then actually getting the code accepted into LibreELEC upstream.

There has been some discussion within LE circles of not supporting Chinese boxes/vendors and only supporting SBC's as the cheap Chinese box makers do not contribute anything to the community or try and help the community, kernel source and driver sources are constantly withheld from us making supporting these devices extremely difficult and troublesome, I'm not sure how kszaq or afl1 feel about this but I for 1 feel this would probably be for the best.

If you look at the Khadas KVIM the whole source code for their product has been published to GitHub and they work with their users on the forums and they are somewhat neglected by a lot of people because a Chinese crapbox can be sourced for half the price.

I know that you will be adding LCD support to T95M and others soon, but I decided to see if I could get mine working myself, and asap.

After some trial and error I think I made some progress, but it still doesn't work.

I built my own device tree like so:

Code

#include "gxl_p212_2g.dts"

/ {
    le-dt-id = "gxl_p212_2g_t95m";
    fd628_dev {
        compatible = "amlogic,fd628_dev";
        status = "okay";
        fd628_gpio_clk = <&gpio 0x58 0x0>;
        fd628_gpio_dat = <&gpio 0x59 0x0>;
        fd628_gpio_stb = <&gpio 0x5a 0x0>;
    };

};

Display More

At first I had conflicts with audio_btpcm_pins, but I removed that section from the DT and the conflicts are now gone. (in dmesg: conflict and now no conflicts)

But sadly the LCD does not light up or display anything. I installed the FD628 Service and it seems to be active.

Do you have any suggestions on what I should try next?

Display More

Try the following

        fd628_gpio_clk = <&gpio GPIODV_22 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
        fd628_gpio_dat = <&gpio GPIODV_23 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
        fd628_gpio_stb = <&gpio GPIODV_21 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

I have already many times installed Netflix and the entire system in the past 3 days. Unfortunately the Netflix does not go.

Thank you

Have you checked inputstream.adaptive add-on is active?

Quote from satel

I did yesterday and I wrote that it did not work unfortunately (#1,311)

I didn't see this, I'm not too sure what you have done because Netflix works out of the box usually, you just have to install the add-on and login, the library downloads automatically.

Quote from satel

Hallo adamg, kszaq, hallo everybody,

Do you have any idea, what should I do for Netflix?

I would like to use my NETFLIX account with my box, but I can not.

I installed a LibreELEC 8.90.2 ver. on the clean box and run it (from SD). Then I used this instruction for the Netflix install.

With PuTTY I made the 2 extra command line, and the result is:

After the restart I started the Netflix using and always this 2 messages appears:

or in the morning in general:

One or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message

What to do to run the Netflix?

A Hungarian forum said the widevine is lacking. This is causing the problem.

If it is true, then do you think it can be repairable in a next release?

Or in my case in my Box the Netflix is completely forgotten

thanks for the suggestions
