  • [x86-64] Realtek 8832BU WiFi Issue

    Hi all, I'm currently running LE 12.0.1 Generic-legacy.x86_64 build. Everything is running well except for 2 minor issues I'd like to resolve with the help of this forum that I think are related to 'drivers'. I come from a windows background though so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot them for LE?

    [topic moved to another thread by admin]

    The second issue is that my internal wifi is working, but I can't get my newer USB WiFi adaptor to be recognised (newer WiFi6 compatible device). It is a Simplecom NW812 adaptor which appears to be using a Realtek 8832BU chipset.

    If someone could advise me how I can get my system to recognise these devices properly it would be much appreciated!

  • [x86-64] MCE Remote Not Stable

    Hi all, I'm currently running LE 12.0.1 Generic-legacy.x86_64 build. Everything is running well except for 2 minor issues I'd like to resolve with the help of this forum that I think are related to 'drivers'. I come from a windows background though so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot them for LE?

    The first issue is that I'm using an MCE remote. Most of the functions of the remote work (navigation, volume, play button etc), however some functions (OK, pause, stop) don't respond. The receiver flashes red when I press those keys, but nothing happens on screen. Strangely, maybe once out of every 10 reboots all those functions work, but after it reboots I get limited function again. I can't quite figure out a pattern to this, but the fact everything works some of the time hopefully means there's a possible permanent fix?

  • MCE remote no longer working

    Hi All,

    I recently installed the latest LE beta 11.95.1. On first boot my HP MCE remote was working fine. However, after rebooting it no longer works. I have tried rebooting a few times but cannot get it to work. The receiver is flashing red on button presses, however LE does not respond. Although, if I press the power button on the remote it tries to put the system to sleep, so there is some kind of communication happening.

    I have tried the Keymap Editor add-on but it does not recognise button presses and times out waiting for a signal when editing buttons.

    I have entered "ir-keytable" and "ir-ctrl -r" which seem to show that there is communication between the hardware, just no response in LE (see attached image)

    Any other suggestions on getting the remote working again? I find it strange that it worked intially and now it won't. I have had a similar issue in the past, but it worked again after rebooting, that hasn't helped this time.

  • Issue updating video library in latest nightly

    I just reinstalled the latest nightly (version 12) to give my system a clean start, but I'm having an issue with library updates. Every time I run a library update, it only adds 2 movies at a time then stops. If I run library update manually it adds another 2 movies, but never more.

    I've not seen this issue before, I do realise I'm on a nightly build but thought I'd see if anyone else had the same problem or any suggestions to fix? I've tried removing and re-adding my sources but get the same problem.

  • Strobe lighting effect on videos played through Netflix addon

    I'm having issues with videos playing through the Netflix Add On. There is a 'flickering' light effect on all videos played through Netflix. This problem only appears to happen with videos streamed through the Netflix app, it doesn't happen with local media or other streaming apps (that I'm aware of). I have tried disabling VP9 and looking at inputstream advance settings where I changed the resolution to match my screen, but not sure what else could be causing the issue? I'm running Libreelec 11.0.1 (latest).

    Here is a short video demonstrating the issue - https://emalm.com/?v=-H2Zt

  • WiFi issues after replacing wifi card

    Quote from VLouis

    Hi,

    First... before any upgrade... BACKUP! It's took a few minutes, but sometimes save for you hours of reinstalling everything.

    About LE11 beta, if you already upgraded to LE11, try the latest LE11 nightly, that first LE11 beta (the 10.95.0, the 10.95.1 what is in the chewitt's post, I think isn't released yet) have some issues with live TV.

    And about the wifi card, you didn't mention your hardware, perhaps you can try to run an live-linux from usb (Ubuntu iso written to USB-stick) to verify if the suspected card is working or not.

    Thanks for the advice. When I go to nightly downloads, do I want the 10.0 nightlies or the 11.0 nightlies to update my version from 10.95.0? I'm a little confused about the naming sstructure and which I'm currently on!

    If the issue was firmware I would expect to see errors when the hardware probes and fails to find/load the right firmware. However I don't see any mention of anything related to WiFi/BT at all which suggests the hardware isn't probed/detected at all. I'd go (re)check the card is seated correctly - is it detected/shown anywhere in the BIOS (if the BIOS is sophisticated, often they are dumb). Or perhaps the card is bad? / can you test it in anything else?

    I've since installed the original card and have wifi again, however libreelec keeps restarting randomly and I'm not getting picture on some live TV channels (audio works) that used to work. I'm thinking it could be related to the upgrade from 10.0.4 to 10.95.0? Is there any clues in the log file of what might be causing the restarts? http://ix.io/4nBR

    Thanks for the help. I'll put the old card back in for now and test this one somewhere else another time.

  • WiFi issues after replacing wifi card

    Hi all, I am running libreelec generic 10.0.4. I just replaced my Intel 3165NGW WiFi/BT card with an Intel AX201NGW (or could be 9560NGW). Now I don't have WiFi or BT available. I suspect it's a firmware issue, but not sure which firmware to use or how to apply it, I tried adding some ucode files from an AX200 card with no luck. Any step by step instructions on how I can get it working? Thanks!

  • LibreELEC-RR [ Brave | Spotify | Moonlight | Emulationstation | Retroarch | Pegasus ]

    Quote from heitbaum

    Looking at the spec sheet - I believe it is one of these. Please share a dmesg and lspci to confirm what wireless is/is not detected.

    Realtek RTL8723DE, RTL8821CE, RTL8822BE, RTL8822CE wireless LAN Controller

    Looks like it's a RTL8822BE according to the dmesg and lspci commands run from the latest nightly generic build (see link).

    Any suggestions how can I get this WiFi working on the RR build?

  • LibreELEC-RR [ Brave | Spotify | Moonlight | Emulationstation | Retroarch | Pegasus ]

    I just installed this build on a HP 24" All-In-One, but can't get wifi working, no connections are showing and no options for wifi in the libreelec settings addon. Below is a link to the specs, I can't seem to find the wifi chipset though. It appears to be a shared BT/WiFi, and BT is working. The wifi is working in Ubuntu and Windows. Any help getting wifi working would be appreciated!
