  • A95X F3 Amlogic S905W2

    I have a meson-sm1-a95xf3-air.dtb at hand , the device. I tried the 13 versions of tests and that dtb but it just hangs on the logo.
    The coreelec s905w2 generic dtb works well on coreelec, it is only bluetooth not working.

    If anyone is interested in more info from the hardware and wants me to test stuff, please post here, thank you.

  • [UNOFFICIAL][Le11-10][RK3228/RK3229][box]Libreelec builds

    hi, thank you so much for your awesome work!
    I wanted to report the nightly boots : X96 mini wiht RK3228A - 2 / 16 GB.
    The ethernet works, wifi does not and it does not have bluetooth I think.

    I hope to be able to get time in the coming weeks to help development.
    I see you are running low on time ilmich , let me know how I can help out with that.
    Time I have soon, I know Linux, kernels and have been compiling kernels and hacking all kinds of boxes ( although no expert ).
    I can dumb a dtb from Android if useful ? It's running Android 11.1 I think.

    Thanks again, would be cool to get LibreElec 12 working. If you have stuff to read up upon to get that going, just post some links :). Cheers!

  • How to Enable Bluetooth

    Quote from lintopwan

    This works fine

    But is it possible for it to drop back to a default source when the Bluetooth one can't be found?

    Be nice if I could turn the speaker on to listen to music, but when I turned it off it just dropped back to SDIF/HDMI for tv.

    It is very likely to be possible, but likely needs some scripting if not in standard options.
    Since LibreElec is just Linux, you can SSH into the machine and try if you can find commands to change output.
    If so you can write a script that checks if bluetooth has connections and if not set output and vice versa.
    The Linux desktop on Ubuntu and Fedora does that by itself mostly, would indeed be nice to have it as a standard feature.

  • update from 20240612 to 20240613 no ir

    I found what was missing, it was /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg .

    I added :
    LibreELEChv:~/.config # cat rc_maps.cfg
    meson-ir * tanix_tx5max.toml 

    After that it worked like on the old version.

    I don't understand how things work from the docs, is there no way to load things automatically like on the old version ?
    I am happy it works anyway, thank you

    Am I missing something ? The remote works in 9.2.8 coreelec without modification.
    The device is a Tanix Tx9s ( S912 rev a)
    thank you!

  • dtb file for beelink mini mx

    Quote from openminded

    hi,

    I have the same issue on a mini mx and a Beelink bb2 pro.
    When LibreElec starts, I see some error about Mac configuration, is that it?
    It does work with 2 different dongles I used and Wifi works too.
    Or is this just a dtb issue?

    Thank you!

    I looked a bit more and the dtb that worked with CoreElec 9.2.8 is : https://github.com/CoreELEC/devic…01_3g_1gbit.dts and the dtb can be found here I think : https://mega.nz/folder/C9FghKp…folder/n5VS0ShZ .

    After some searching and trying I thought first that the ethernet entry needed to be added to the dtb somehow, but another user just tried the q200 variant, and that made the ethernet work !

    Bluetooth does not show up.

    So to summarize, I have a Mecool BB2 pro, 3GB, 1000M LAN, Amlogic S912.
    If anyone needs testing, or can help with bluetooth, please let me know.

    Thank you all very much for your hard work and dedication, it is greatly appreciated! And I think it prevents electronics waste being able to use these boxes for much longer.

    I revived 2 boxes stuck on CoreElec 9.2.8 with LibreElec 12 and very happy!
    I read about the script that writes to eMMC, I would still like to find a way to write it to flash ( over CoreElec 9.2.8 which is running on it in internal flash ). Especially the non Mecool one is quite slow from microSD card.

    Thank you!
