Does amcodec work for video addons in 8.90.2? I think my reported and hardly believed buffering issue is gone. Could be related with the fact that amcodec is not working?

I still have to test to verify, at least the buffering circle does what it should do again...going until 100 percent.

It was down to the advancedsettings.xml, I did tell you about 10 pages ago, this wasn't a bug, streaming settings are now set to Kodi defaults.

8.90.2 has been reuploaded with the dvb issue corrected however I'm just waiting for the addons to compile and upload before making it available to prevent a re-occurrence of previous issues.

I guess you will get more valuable information after releasing the source, but maybe you can find something interesting here:

Sorry, it is 4AM here in China and I am at home, so this is all what I have right now. Also, as I said, I do not use to go too deep on the systems (sadly).

Nah... my story with Mali was time ago, maybe S812... I do not remember now.

Thanks for this Javi

Unfortunately that file only gives us 2 of the 3 needed parts for the display driver, we can not bundle the precompiled kernel module, any change to the kernel config immediately taints the module so it is unusable, we really require the source for aml_linux_fd628.ko

rosenrot How did you enable boot messages showing on the screen?

Boot message only displays if there is an error

have to wait for reuploaded version there was an issue with dvb driver because of an option kszaq disabled upstream

anybody else who downloaded should be fine

It will be available later on tonight

Hi GDPR-2 thanks for your reply.

Oranth and Tanix are same thing, "Tanix" is an Oranth's registered brand. Here you can see the trademark details

Said that, I am a member of Oranth (or Tanix) from not a long time ago. Until now I had time to do some things like design the case for TX3 Mini and Max or the UI and main fuctions for ALICE UX (of course, always supported by the engineers). Also I am building the community for Tanix, something really hard as we need more people clearly, and as last, I have requested our engineers to port LibreELEC and, when possible, Ubuntu or maybe Armbian (all this trying to fill users requests).

Even I have a good general knowledge about all the areas related to TV BOX, I am not engineer and I am not specialized in a certain area, so it is probably I can not go too deep when talking about some details like a driver source code. I know about how difficult has always been getting certain sources. Even I can give you an example:

Few years ago I have been working (as one of the directors board) for a big chinese company (product: AliYun TV Box). They can sell in the (huge) Chinese market even more than Xiaomi. As I always put an eye on geeks, developers... then I wanted to release a source from Mali (GPU) that I knew developers always required. What about the result? Well, even our (BIG) company did not have access to those sources. My work-mates (directors too) asked directly face to face to the SoC manufacturer and even to Mali. "It is needed a very big reason to release that...". That's the story, some things maybe even we can't have. I can add that I also heard some of those "we can compile for you" or "we can do the changes you need", but coming from higher level than we are.

I will not say your requests are also so "protected" like mine before, I even do not know what you asked for. Just want to say, even you want to be open, sometimes you just can't. I guess some of these providers are trying to protect "their things" from their competitors, so they just do not accept.

Can I try to help? Sure, I can.

Can I help finally? No idea... many things involved.

I can totally understand the mentality of the vendors not wanting to release certain things because it could potentially give other vendors an advantage.

I think it's great your looking to build the community for Tanix as I for 1 have always preferred the design of Tanix products over some of the others on the market.

Some of the things we are asking for are not really things that Oranth or Tanix should be worried about other vendors copying.

WiFi drivers are generally all open source with the exception of 2 very specific models in use within Tanix products, xs9028 comes to mind and these are absolutely critical for some of our users.

The LCD display driver again is already partly available on Github already but we require the changes that Tanix have made to it.

If Tanix could be encouraged to be more like Khadas who have open sourced everything and work with the community rather than against them then you could guarantee that Tanix would sell a lot more products and developers here would certainly be less hostile.

I assume you are referring the the T820MP3 fbdev Mali binaries that we require for S912 devices earlier in your post as well, if these can be provided then many of us here would be extremely grateful.

8.90.2 is being uploaded so it should be available some time later tonight, the updated addons are already available

It could be that the wireless-tools package was upgraded, I would not trust any figures read in there, the only way to monitor power levels accurately is with another device.

Javi putting current issues aside, I actually bought one of these Tanix boxes for my home, I own a number of TX3 boxes so I personally have a vested interest here.

Both myself and another developer have emailed Oranth (the manufacturer) many times pleading for the source to the 2 components that we need and have continually been refused them with just the offer of them compiling the source against any linux kernel/config that we want.

The hostility shown from some of the others is born from this attitude as it is not a problem specific to only Oranth, LibreELEC as a project has no commercial interests so it is rather upsetting to everyone involved when things like this happen, we all just want to help the wider community and small things like this prevent us from doing so.

I know there is NDA's with some of the companies that Oranth works with which is perfectly understandable however the kernel is licenced under GPL and even Amlogic release it publicly in the spirit of co-operation with the license conditions. everybody is just tired of the attitudes of GPL-abusing Chinese companies and unfortunately you seem to have born the brunt of this but it is no way personal, if we could get more co-operation from vendors it would be an extremely positive move.

Javi is there any chance you can supply the source code for the Wifi driver and the LCD/vfd display as support for this device so we can properly support this device upstream.

The device is already supported in community builds with the precompiled binary blobs that have been supplied by Oranth but we really do require the source for these 2 components.

afl1 the Khadas team will usually supply developer samples, it's worth emailing them and asking if they would be happy to provide a KVIM2 and the DTV board for LE support.

Requested file: dtb-dump.zip

I will look at this tonight after I finish work, thanks.

You guys need to follow the instructions set out very clearly by afl1 rather than trying your own methods and adding confusion and delaying a fix to the issues.

Prerequisite for testing is 8.90.1!

8.2 is not supported so stop trying to use it, this could not have been made any more clear.

Quote from boot2k3

Do you mean "original" from LE, not from Android? Correct?
I'll send it 2-3 hours later after arriving at home

no I already have the LE one, I need the original Android one

Quote from boot2k3

GDPR-2, as discussed before please make a modified dtb for test on my S912 device.

I'm ready to test it tonight or when it will be ready

But the link above on dtb doesn't work, because I don't know where is a current S912 dtb placed.

Can you send me your original dtb

dd if=/dev/dtb of=/storage/dtb-dump.img bs=1k count=256

There should be no difference, its using the exact same driver

Quote from tyrol_gangster

is this no longer possible in this release?

It was added back following the bug report.

Quote from thomaz

Is it true that rgb output works again with 8.90 ?

If yes, what must i do to enable it.

thx.

Use the search function.

Quote from estimadarocha

GDPR-2 could you please test if you can run aml-vnc from kszaq on your builds?

i can install and connect to it but no mouse or keyboard movements on remote side!

thanks robert322

That addon was compiled against 8.2 it would need to be recompiled against 9.0. maybe kszaq can help as he is the maintainer of it.

Quote from TheCarlough

Yup. That’d be it.

What I have a hard time wrapping my head around, and no disrespect, but I have the same plugin on two Shield boxes and a Win10 PC all running Leia, and has been running various nightlies for months. I’ve also had it on ksaq’s build. I’ve never seen this.

You don’t think there’s anyway that your build is causing this tag to be missing?

I honestly just see me posting this over at the Plex forums, with the above explanation, and they are going to point toward the only build it hasn’t worked on.

I *thought* I did a fresh install when i migrated from ksaq’s to your’s but maybe I missed something...think I’ll do that again to just rule that out.

If nothing else, I very much appreciate you looking at the log and pointing the error out!

In that case clear out the userdata folder for the addon, simply uninstalling and reinstalling the addon will not remove its configuration data.

Migrating from kszaqs build to this and reinstalling the addon does not make it a fresh install, the only way to do that is by a hard reset in LE settings.

Quote from extremeaudio

Which addons are you referring to in this?

This issue exists with all of them presently
