The Docker add-on exists in the LE repo but you might need to force refresh it before LE12 add-ons are available.

It should work with the Generic Legacy (X11) image. It will not work with the non-Legacy (GBM) image.

I can see there are wlan0 and wlan1 interfaces now. Disable onboard WiFi by adding "dtoverlay=disable-wifi" to config.txt on the SD card and then see if you can configure a network.

Oleg stopped work on Amlogic boards some time ago and deleted old files.

If you are running dtech releases for M8X2 this is already the latest/last available version, there is nothing newer.

The USB device ID's aren't present in the downstream driver we are still using (sadly).

Update to this image and see if it works: https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE…h64-11.95.2.tar

Run "journalctl | paste" after boot and share the URL

I've no idea if NTP is the cause here, but I would leave nothing set so the OS defaults to pool.ntp.org servers. There's really no need to set custom NTP servers unless ntp.org is blocked for some reason.

It's possible to change latency for video content (to align with audio) but I think that mechanism assumes Kodi is playing both and that won't be the case with an audio-only stream being played.

NB: At one point it was possible to 'cast' YouTube URLs from a smartphone to Kodi so they played (audio and video) on Kodi; which would be played together (in-sync) and somewhat avoid the problems.

You are running the latest available LE release for Meson 8 hardware. There is a long-term effort to add support for Meson 8 devices into the upstream kernel (which would permit Docker support) but this is a rather slow burning effort and there's no timeline for an LE release.

Not supported because the 3.10 kernel is too old to support Docker.

Here's a quick update on the "xz" issues that are being widely reported at the moment (CVE-2024-3094).

- LE12-beta1 and LE12 nightly images since January 27 2024 contain problem xz versions (5.6.0 and 5.6.1)

- We have already reverted to an older non-problem version (5.4.6) in our master branch

- We are investigating complete removal of xz binaries (reverting to xz from busybox)

- We have tested the LE12-beta1 release using exploit signatures. These show WE ARE NOT VULNERABLE.

Staff are working on a beta2 release and this will ship soon, but as we are not vulnerable we are not going to rush the release. If the situation changes due to new information we will (re)evaluate our response and adapt as necessary.

Please go back to enjoying your weekend

I will have a chat with chewitt and ascertain what hardware he has and what to send him and see what is available. I know that he was responsible for upstreaming DTS support for Vero 4K + to the kernel.

I don't have any Vero boxes in my collection. Existing support for 4K+ (upstream) and 4K (not-yet-upstream) was developed through educated guesswork from me and testing from frakkin64

Older Apple hardware often pays lip-service to EFI specs and might refuse to work with syslinux. Unless you fancy experimenting with tools like "rEFInd" (a great tool but sometimes hard to understand) the easiest option will be to experiment with a recent Ubuntu LiveUSB to see if that boots. If it does; the version of grub Ubuntu is using on the LiveUSB can can be installed to our boot USB (replacing/overwriting syslinux). You may need to create grub boot config/menu files.

Two further comments:

a) Laptops are not and never have been target hardware for LE, and Apple laptops full of quirks are no exception.

b) LE isn't going to magically add capabilities or performance improvements over the native macOS Kodi app.

rm -rf /storage/.kodi/addons/inputstream.*
rm -rf /storage/.kodi/addons/packages/inputstream.*
rm -rf /storage/.kodi/cdm

M-Reimer Those commands ^ should remove all traces of inputstream and related widevine files. You should be able to reinstall inputstream add-ons from the LE repo and then let the widevine files be downloaded/unpacked again.

Also note that we have a virtual image (OVA) that runs in vmware Workstation/Fusion or Oracle VirtualBox; which can make running LE on something fast(er) and more local/portable easier than using a real board/box device.

There must be a better way.

Clone the skin files to /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.myskin and edit the addon.xml to define a new/different skin name so there is no name clash. Restart Kodi for it to see the 'new' skin as something installed but disabled. Enable the skin. You can now edit the files in-situ using nano. You can reload the skin using a keyboard command (if one is attached) or use a kodi-send command to reload if editing 'remotely' over SSH (can't remember the command, Google will find it for you).

systemctl stop/disable/mask the pulseaudio service

On what LE version? - Logs? - Sample file?

Quote from Tahurel

It seems like that the Host i.e Host = 185.210.30.121 in the example tutoral, cannot be a DDNS name. How come?

You're configurating a network interface not an application. NICs route traffic based on IP data and you're basically defining a static IP route to the other end of the tunnel. If you want to handle DDNS hostnames you need something at application level to resolve the hostname to an IP and update the WireGuard config. ConnMan watches the config files; I'm not sure if it can adjust the tunnel routing while the connection is active or it needs to stop/restart the connection first (should be simple to test though).
