    For such a script s805_autoscript necessary, that would be the content platform_ini had such a form
    Variables in the script and the file platform_ini interrelated.

  • img for booting from SD

    This is a known problem of poor compatibility, SD card slot and built-in card reader. I know of only one way to solve is to find a working SD card (which would normally work with a particular instance of TV box).
    You can try to patch the kernel to improve the drivers for the SD card.

    Balbes,

    the DVD works OK with your 'standard kernel'. I could pair bluetooth devices also, that's OK to.

    I saw on your github account you made a branch for the ****** Vim is it still WIP or can it be compiled?

    This is a test version for a specific model.

    Balbes, I have installed LibreELEC-S812.LAN1000.arm-7.0.3.3_20170208 on my MXIII G. I couldn't get past the Google TV boot loop until I put the sd card into a usb reader, which then booted into LE. After that, I could use the sd card slot to boot into LE. When I do so I can briefly see the top half of an LE logo before LE boots into the Confluence skin. I cannot add any other skin. LE appears to work apart from an audio problem. I cannot get analog audio when playing videos. I can hear analog audio using the Confluence menu, just no sound on videos apart from a squeaky distorted sound during conversation.

    Can you suggest another image that may work? Thank you very much for your work on the 812 models.

    Try to write the image to a USB flash drive and run from it. Usually this behavior LE is associated with bad media.

    1) I tried different DVD's. They worked previously. Strang thing is: I don't get the 'play dvd' on the menu, but it mounts in videos -> files. You know with the video_ts dir.
    2) 7.0.3 lan 1000 with your modified kernel.
    3) Did run it from SD, maybe the SD is to slow to handle that? I used a 8gig sandisk extreme pro UHS-1

    Try to test run the DVD version without modifications to the core. Maybe when I changed the kernel configuration, I changed the support. To start the system to check with any carrier, it does not matter.

    Therefore, my questions are:
    - Is this possible to add support for the AP62X2 chipset (wifi/bluetooth)?
    - How the 4k resolution problem can be fixed?
    - Is there a way to enable the HDMI input of this device in LibreELEC (chipset Silicon Image SIL9293)?
    - Do you plan to release an updated LibreELEC 8 (Krypton) firmware soon?

    1. Add support for WiFi - maybe, but is sorely lacking time, so when this happens, I don't know.
    2. I don't have 4K, so I can't check what the problem is. If i find ready-made patches - I will try to add.
    3. Version Krypton - may be updated, but I don't know when I'll find time for this.

    Has anyone had issues playing HVEC videos? I get some serious white pixelation when playing them. I have an M8S with S812 2G/16G.

    RC is the remote control ?Hi everybody,
    I upgraded my M8S+ box: Yandex.Disk
    All works fine except the RC.
    What do I have to do to get my RC working again?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    RC is the remote control ?

    Balbes,

    I tested your build with new kernel configuration and everything on my Eny M8S seems to work. I also can see bleutooth devices altough I didn't try to pair them.
    What I noticed is that it doesn't play dvd from my external dvd-rom. It mounts the DVD but if I try to play them it says "working" and the system hangs until you remove the dvd from the tray.


    1. DVD previously worked ?
    2. What version of LE you are trying to play a DVD ?
    3. What media runs LE (SD or USB or eMMC) ?

    Collected updated version (20170208). Changed the settings the WiFi and BT. On Tronsmart MIII Plus (v 2.2) everything works. Please to those who have the opportunity to check the work WiFi and BT. And write the result on what models work or no WiFi and BT.

    ADD
    Added another version of the image for testing, with a modified kernel configuration. If there is a wish to search the directory 20170206/TEST_KERNEL

    You need to copy the dtb from a directory in the root of FAT partition file "meson8m2_n200_2G.dtb" and rename it to "dtb.img". If You have not yet activated multiboot, it will need to be activated.

  • [S812] MIII Plus 2Gb\16Gb eMMC

    A question to the owners S812 and S802 in which the activated multiboot. Can anyone help me in initial testing Linux\Ubuntu platform s802\s812 ? The task is simple - download the image, burn to USB stick or card you need to copy the dtb and try to start the system. I am interested in overall health (presence of images on the monitor have different models).
