mpeg2video but the one that only has audio and flickering video is SD

I checked your video. To play in EGL mode + OSD menu, simply disable hardware decoding (the line in the settings above the OSD.using EGL\DRM). Video of this format is easily processed in SW mode (the performance of the chip is quite enough for Full HD).

The question about the emmc install was about the stability. Each of your builds has a new OS and new Kodi which is fine. In the past I have had trouble with the bootloader changing so I couldn't just put the current tar file in .update. Is that now possible? I am reluctant to do this because the emmc stops works and I have to then flash Armbian to SD, write to emmc then load LE then copy LE to emmc.

The problem is not the update, it's a problem with the latest kernel (does not work with eMMC).

Is mpeg2 video supposed to play in EGL mode?

Menu overlay on video works only in EGL mode. I don't understand the question about mpeg-2, show a link to a video of this format for testing.

Quote from emveepee

Also is there going to be a static OS build allowing easier LE installs to emmc?

Describe it in more detail, I don't understand the question.

I checked with myself, the installation and updating of eMMC work without problems. Show the UART output when the system does not start after the update.

Is there a special version of Armbian I need to install before running this? I can get Armbian booting off emmc fine but when I install LE to this same emmc it will not boot. It seems to be looking fro uefi?

I did a full test. Downloaded the latest version of Armbian

, recorded it on an SD card and installed it on eMMC. Downloaded the latest version of LE

and recorded it on a USB flash drive, run and installed LE on eMMC. I started LE with eMMC and performed the setup, everything works without problems.

Which eMMC module and power supply do you use ? How do you install Armbian ?

Version 20220906 kernel 6.0-rc4.

Fixed installation\update in eMMC for kernel 6.0 and added the function of installing mac via extlinux.conf

Version 20220831 using kernel 6.0-rc3.

Quote from emveepee

I do have the mac=... showing in /proc/cmdline

Try the latest version, the mac= installation function should work in it via the command line in extlinux.conf

Quote from bluetako

I have a few rk3188 boxes (cs918) that I'd like to run LE on, but LE kernel panics about 1 sec after starting kernel.

I have suspended work with rk3188\rk3288 for now, there is not enough time, so I can't help you with anything.

Quote from chewitt

force a persistent MAC address:

it is enough to add to these steps "from_cmdline" a check for the presence of mac= in the command line, this will work for all platforms.

I can't get it to save a fixed IP address via LibreElec settings and can't set the mac (or ethaddr) in extlinux.conf

Try creating file /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/99-fix-mac.rules with the following content

SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="eth0", RUN+="/sbin/ip link set dev %k address 00:14:22:c8:c8:37"

Quote from emveepee

Yes those are what I have been using use but they just say Armbian not ArmbianTV on the filenames. Maybe you use the term interchangeably?

Are you sure you have a Quartz64 model ? Which eMMC module do you use ? Run Armbian and show the output of the "fdisk -l" command. Try to completely erase eMMC from Armbian (with the dd command) and perform the entire installation procedure from the beginning (installing Armbian, and then installing LE).

Quote from emveepee

I see the release notes some say Armbian and some say ArmbianTV but I couldn't find an image with ArmbianTV.

I am not sure what you mean by ArmbianTV

Armbian and LibreELEC and AltLinux for Quartz64

Quote from emveepee

It has U-Boot SPL 2022.04-armbian (Jul 07 2022 - 08:50:57 +0300) and log is here

Judging by the log, u-boot does not see extlinux.conf on eMMC. Write ArmbianTV to a USB flash drive, connect to Quartz64a (only eMMC and USB flash drive should be connected, SD card should be disconnected). Run ArmbianTV from a USB flash drive and check the contents of the eMMC, there should be two partitions and on the first file /extlinux/extlinux.conf. Try writing LE to a USB flash drive and repeat the installation procedure. My installation on eMMC runs without problems on all devices (Qurtz64a , Station P2\M2, Banana PI R2 pro).

Quote from emveepee

I get this on the screen and it stops

Version 20220824. fixed installation on eMMC for rk356x models. Important. the order of installation on eMMC for rk356x. Before installing LE, you must install ArmbianTV, this is necessary to update u-boot in eMMC (without updating u-boot, there are no guarantees that the system will start from eMMC). After installing Armbian, we run and install LE. To install LE, open the LE settings -> eMMC menu and select the eMMC installation mode in it. The automatic procedure for installing LE on eMMC will be started, after the installation is completed, the system automatically shuts down, disconnect the media and start the system. Please note, after updating u-boot in eMMC, you can run any Armbian\LE\AltLinux system from any media (SD card or USB media).

When I say no MAC address, I need to use a fixed IP since every time LE boots it has an new MAC and my DHCP server gives a new IP address.

Judging by the log, the system is running eMMC. What is the problem ? Show the startup log with the remote option in extlinux.conf "quiet".

To fix the address, you can use several options.

Set a static IP address in the LE settings. Either add the variable "mac=" to extlinux.conf or register fixed settings via LE settings.

emmc installs complain that LIBRELEC is not mounted. SD card installs work fine.

I have not checked the installation mode on eMMC. How do you perform the installation on eMMC ? Can you show the UART startup log from eMMC ?

Quote from emveepee

there is no OSD over video.

For the menu to work properly, you must change the player settings. Open settings, switch to expert mode, open player settings, video, change rendering mode from DRM to EGL.

no MAC address

sorry, I don't understand what it's about, write in more detail.
