Been trying this out the last few days and cant get it to work, not sure if it's the box i have or the addon itself.
First tried to through terminal

Then by using the addon in kodi, the screen just goes black and kodi restarts. Here's the debug log NPeKE

EDIT: If this should be in the AMlogic sub forum instead of here can someone move it, thanks.

I tried out the moonlight addon yesterday but everytime i click on steam or a game i just a black screen then a reboot. Is it the addon that's busted or does it just not work on S905X boxes, does anyone know?

Same issue with LiveTV, here's a log

I tuned into BBC One HD then waited a few seconds then tried to change channel to BBC Two HD, the picture just froze on what was on BBC One HD for about 2 minutes until i press stop. The line "18:32:55.458 T:3400049568 DEBUG: PVRManager - OpenLiveStream - opening live stream on channel 'BBC One HD" is where is starts from

One question: does anybody else noticed that sometimes after resuming a movie there is no sound for 4-5 seconds and then everything is all ok again?
First noticed in 8.0.1b using Minix U1 and passthrough.

I think this is a Kodi issue, i remember it happening on windows for a while so i don't think it's just a LibreElec issue

8.0.1a build in OP.

Thank you. Just updated and quickly tested twitch and it seems to fixed the A/V sync issues, i'll have a proper test later

I've read the Q&A and found:
Q: A few seconds are missing at the beginning of the video.
A: Enable Expert settings, go to Settings > Video > Playback and set "Pause during refresh rate change" to the amount that is missing

But I can't see this option (not even on expert).
It looks I have a delay of 5/6 seconds. Also when I close a video. Anyone has any ideas how to fix it?

System > Display > "Delay after change of refresh rate"

Here's a debug log where the A/V sync issue happen with twitch streams cSYgL If i bring up the PlayerDebug while the streams is playing i can see the vq% is around 40ish while the aq% is 99

I can do the same test from windows to show the difference in it if you need it

Anyone else getting really bad A/V sync issues with twitch streams with the last couple of updates?

Sorry about my dumb question!
How to get on screen informations, like in your picture?

The top one is PlayerDebug and the bottom one is PlayerProcessInfo both can be set to a key in the remote.xm mine looks like this

Also rather oddly, bringing up the Info screen it shows the stream as 23.976 when it's actually 25fps (which normally shows as 50 due to interlacing I guess).

I get that on twitch streams

Never noticed it on pvr channels.

With the new update i don't see any difference in channel switching using mediaportal, maybe others see it as they are using tvheadend on the box they are using

Is it possible to raise the buffer size?

4k is playing fine on my 2GB S905X box but the playback pauses sometimes while playing high bitrate MKV files and starts with filling up the buffer again.
I'll guess the 100 Mbit LAN is a bottleneck but at least the 2GB RAM boxes should have enough space to bridge this bitrate peaks.

You could try something like this in the advancedsettings.xml
[code=php]
<cache>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<memorysize>278921216</memorysize>
<readfactor>20</readfactor>
</cache>
[/php]
And see if that helps

Your mediaportal pvr addon is still out of date GitHub - kodi-pvr/pvr.mediaportal.tvserver at Krypton should be v2.4.14 not the v2.4.12 that is in the LibreElec repo

A good example is LibeELEC generic advancedsettings file (which is not used for Amlogic projects!):
LibreELEC.tv/advancedsettings.xml at libreelec-7.0 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

So even though i see this being loaded in the log file
[code=php]
NOTICE: Contents of special://xbmc/system/advancedsettings.xml are...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<advancedsettings>
<showexitbutton>false</showexitbutton>
<cputempcommand>cputemp</cputempcommand>
<gputempcommand>gputemp</gputempcommand>
<video>
<latency>
<delay>0</delay>
<refresh>
<min>23</min>
<max>24</max>
<delay>175</delay>
</refresh>
</latency>
<busydialogdelayms>750</busydialogdelayms>
</video>
<samba>
<clienttimeout>30</clienttimeout>
</samba>
</advancedsettings>
[/php]

It doesn't actually do anything?

EDIT: Ok after assuming that the above was working and was the reason for my audio issue for a while now, i add this to my own advancedsettings.xml
[code=php]
<video>
<latency>
<delay>0</delay>
<refresh>
<min>23</min>
<max>24</max>
<delay>0</delay>
</refresh>
</latency>
</video>
[/php]

And suddenly no more audio issues, so the default advancedsettings.xml in /usr/share/kodi/system was causing the problem lol

EDIT again: also the "<busydialogdelayms>" in that default advancedsettings.xml was removed in v12 Frodo advancedsettings.xml - Official Kodi Wiki

It's only about 6 or 7 feet away from the hub, i get the same when it's right next to it

Will a USB 802.11ac wifi adapter be better than this, because it's awful right now

5Ghz AC wifi

2Ghz

And the 10/100 wired

Finaly same 5Ghz as above this time i used my phone

No wonder i couldn't even manage to watch a channel being sent from mediaportal

My Beelink Mini MXIII II has a Gigabyte RJ45 port but it's recognize like a 100Mb :

That picture is of a MiniMXIII not a MiniMXIII-II which is 10/100

How well would a USB 802.11ac wifi adapter work tho? The wifi on my MiniIII-II is awful (doubt it's LibreElec think it's the chip itself) i wonder if getting a USB adapter would be any better

I've used this in the past GitHub - Zomboided/service.vpn.manager: VPN plugin for Kodi
