Downgrades are not supported.

Thanks for the update.

I'm interested in testing your le9 build but was wondering.. is it trivial to downgrade to le8 or should I use a separate SD/USB drive?

Quote from kszaq

Sorry, a Kodi patch that I'm developing got in. The 30-40 seconds freeze will be fixed in next build.

No worries kszaq happy to have the builds and the ongoing development. Please carry on and thank you so much for all your hard work.

Duke

I can also confirm the above on my Minix Neo U1 (S905).

Also, when the delay is over, the next video in a playlist (when "play next video automatically" is on) freezes on the first frame and the audio carries on for a maybe 10 seconds and then stops. Screen remains frozen for 30-40 seconds then starts up at the beginning of the video as normal.

Duke

Thanks again kszaq. 8.0.1d no longer making static sounds at boot.

Duke

Just did the 8.0.1c upgrade from 8.0.1b and I can report the same findings as morel. Analog audio out is working (though serious static noises during boot).

Thanks for your continued work on this, kszaq. You are the best.

It is working here on my Minix U1. You can provide dmesg | paste so that I can see if you have a proper device tree. Maybe you are using the one I posted a few days back? That one is not correct.

Certainly.. here is the output
WCdc

EDIT: I'm pretty sure I grabbed the neo-U1 device tree dated 03-Mar-2017.. is that not the latest available? kszaq Is there a newer device tree that is not listed in the S905 folder?

Duke

kszaq Any ideas why the analog output is still not working on my U1? Not desperately needed, mostly just curious. Is there anything I can provide to help locate the issue?

Duke

Hmm.. Still not getting audio out from the analog output. Updated to 8.0.0d from 8.0.0c and tried with both gxbb_p200_2G_minix_neo_u1.dtb and gxbb_p200_2G_1Gbit_OTG_Port.dtb device trees and no analog sound either way. Everything else seems to work as normal and expected. Went back into Android and changed the settings for audio output to "auto" instead of HDMI in case that might carry over into LE but still nothing. I did check it while in Android and the port is working so it isn't a hardware failure, AFAIK.

Thanks again for your efforts, kszaq

Thank you guys for testing. I'll have the device with me next week, I will try to make it work then.

Happy to help and to do so in the future. Looking forward to you getting one and any improvements that may come as a result.

And thanks for your efforts again, kszaq.

Hi kszaq.

Thank you for all you hard work thus far. These builds just keep getting better and better.

Neo U1 with LE booting from USB. Tested headphone jack output with both gxbb_p200_2G_minix_neo_u1.dtb and gxbb_p200_2G_minix_neo_u1-variant2.dtb with the LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.0c-es8323codec-test2.tar file and neither would give audio output on the headphone jack using headphones plugged in directly. As well, with the headphones unplugged, no audio would play through my Onkyo AVR via HDMI connection.

Perhaps, of NOTE:

The System Settings -> Audio -> Audio output device options for the gxbb_p200_2G_1Gbit_OTG_Port.dtb with the 8.0.0c image are

ALSA:AML-M8AUDIO,PCM
ALSA:AML-M8AUDIO,HDMI
PULSE: Default, Bluetooth Audio (PULSEAUDIO) - Audio functioning correctly on AVR with both PCM and HDMI. Bluetooth not tested

The System Settings -> Audio -> Audio output device options for the gxbb_p200_2G_minix_neo_u1.dtb and the LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.0c-es8323codec-test2.tar image are

ALSA:AML-M8AUDIO,HDMI
PULSE: Default, Bluetooth Audio (PULSEAUDIO) - Audio not functioning on HDMI or through headphone jack. Bluetooth not tested

The System Settings -> Audio -> Audio output device options for the gxbb_p200_2G_minix_neo_u1-variant2.dtb and the LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.0c-es8323codec-test2.tar image are

PULSE: Default, Bluetooth Audio (PULSEAUDIO) - Audio not functioning on HDMI (of course) or headphone jack. Bluetooth not tested

Hope this helps and again, thanks for all your great work.

Not sure if this is a problem with LE or Kodi but I'm having playback issues with beta4 (both temp_sensor_disabled and normal image) running via USB on Minix Neo U1 (S905). I have two 4K videos I use to stress the OS releases and with one of them the video freezes after about 6 seconds and audio keeps going for about another 10 seconds then it all stops. the U1 still responds to remote presses and hitting stop gets the player back to the menu. Both play perfectly in beta3

Debug log here: DiOK

Media info attached Allegiant Media Info.txt

Please let me know if there's anything more I can provide.

Thanks.

Hey is Kazaq's website down, it says "Page cannot be displayed? I am trying to download 7.0.3.012e an look at Device trees.

Seems it is down for me as well. Checked from multiple networks, same result.

Can someone with an S905 Chip Box (NOT AN S905x Chip)
using this build insert a USB stick into their box and perform some on off reboots . As many as possible as i am looking whether a Boot Freeze occurs at random. #216

kostaman - Running from USB on a Minix Neo U1 (S905) I just updated from 12-04-2016. After uploading the 12-23-2016 img.gz and 011 device tree and running the command

touch /storage/.update/.nocompat

the first reboot to trigger the update stalled at the Minix boot splash screen. Disconnected power from mains, powered on and update completed successfully. Then:

1. Reboot from the power menu successfully booted to LibreElec
2. Power off System from the power menu, then powered on and the system stalled at Minix boot splash screen. Disconnected from mains and booted to LibreElec successfully.
3. Power off System from the power menu, then powered on and the system stalled at Minix boot splash screen. Disconnected from mains and booted to LibreElec successfully.
4. Reboot from the power menu and the system stalled at Minix boot splash screen. Disconnected from mains and booted to LibreElec succesfully.
5. Power off System from the power menu, then powered on and the system stalled at Minix boot splash screen. Disconnected from mains and booted to LibreElec successfully.
6. Reboot from the power menu and saw error message (too fast for me to capture) booted to LibreElec succesfully.
7. Reboot from the power menu successfully booted to LibreElec.
8. Reboot from the power menu and saw error message (again, too fast for me to capture but was about failure starting RPC bind) booted to LibreElec successfully.
9. Power off System from the power menu, (system went to Standby not full power off) then powered on and booted to LibreElec successfully.
10. Power off System from the power menu, (system went to Standby not full power off) then powered on and booted to LibreElec successfully.
11. Reboot From Internal from the power menu to return to Android then full power off then powered on and booted to LibreElec successfully.
12. Power off System from the power menu, (system went to Standby not full power off) then powered on and booted to LibreElec successfully.
13. Power off System from the power menu, (system went to Standby not full power off) then powered on and booted to LibreElec successfully.

It seems to have settled down, somewhat, now. I have to leave the house for some last minute Xmas errands so I am stopping for now but will be back in short order. I hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need anything else.

Happy Holidays, all.

Looks like I spoke too soon... see post #286

Only had a few moments to test the dev build before my last update post and it seemed the av sync problem had been resolved but now it appears to have returned. Again, I checked the same video files on another machine and confirmed it isn't the file.

I suppose returning to 007 build is the best option for me at this time but I would like to confirm the best way to downgrade. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Duke

I have not yet tried the latest dev build but certainly can give that a go if you think it may help the av sync issue. Will report back when I've had a chance to get it downloaded and installed.

Duke

UPDATE: Thanks kostaman. Installed the dev build and av sync issue seems to be gone. Tested the same files again and no delay adjustments necessary.

Upgraded from 007 on a Minix Neo U1 (S905) and all seems to work except the av sync is off. All audio seems to be ahead by about 200 milliseconds. No sync problems in 007. Minix Neo U1 via HDMI -> Onkyo receiver via HDMI -> Panasonic Plasma. Checked same source files on RaspberryPi 3 running OSMC (same connection scheme) and no sync issues with the files themselves.

Otherwise, really enjoying LibreElec on the U1 and many, many thanks to kszaq for all the hard work.

Duke

P.S. Is downgrading to 007 possible? Is it as simple and putting the 007 image and device tree files in the "Update" folder and rebooting?

Successfully working on a MINIX Neo U1 (S905) SD card method. All seems to work as expected but library scanning is very slow. A single, six episode season took more than a minute to complete. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this simply related to the SD card method or perhaps the card speed itself? Library shares are NFS automounted using system.d from a NAS on my network. I also have RasPis using similar mounting (though using modified fstab) that are scanning normally. I used an older, lower end card after hearing reports of others, using faster newer cards, not having success. I would prefer to use LE for media playback for obvious reasons but want to keep Android as well. Any help would be most appreciated.
