You can look at the package.mk in https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…rmed/package.mk in our master branch this will tell you the current status of the package. We make periodic updates to add-ons and build them when upstream things are bumped (and we notice, there is no automation) but they are not built "nightly" like core images.

Add "video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60D" to boot params in cmdline.txt and see if that helps?

deinterlace support was merged into LE11 nightlies a week or so ago, it is not in the LE10 codebase at this time.
-
The LE 11 images in https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/ are updated with some experimental fixes for seeking in ffmpeg. H264 media seems to work quite well now. HEVC generally seems to work but still fails occasionally for me. Enjoy

https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/ <= use the "box" image and edit the dtb name to use in uEnv.ini, you will need to experiment with dtb files but S912 boxes are often much the same (try some of the box devices, not SBC boards).

Hello, I have bought a 2gb and 16gb x96 max plus tv box, with s905x3, and I cannot find the dtb for this box model; How can I install coreelec or libreelec on the internal nand?
Hardware decode with SM1 devices is also a little broken in the LE mainline codebase right now, and I also don't support internal installs on box devices.so you're better off with CE, and that means you're in the wrong forum for advice - CE is someone else's problem

What is the difference between 10.8 and 11 nightly images? THX.
The 11.0 nightly images are made from LE master. The 10.8 images are my experimental builds which are a little ahead of master. I hard-code the version number because I have scripts for pulling/distributing updates to test boxes which don't work when the filename is randomised with date/time info like the nightlies. My images are currently more functional, but you can crossgrade between them as you see fit.

The three missing things (holy trinity?) are/were:
- Hardware deinterlace
- 3D support
- Optimised software HEVC support
Deinterlace is done. 3D is possible and not on the Foundations to-do list, but one of their developers is likes 3D so it will probably happen from personal interest at some point. Software optimisation for HEVC is not likely to be redone because it's a large effort and requires a level of hackery in ffmpeg that will never be accepted upstream, which is the design requirement for all code now. Tests show the non-optimised HEVC support in LE11 images is sufficient for SD media, but not 720p/1080p. So if you really need HD media, either stick with LE9.2 or bump up to an RPi4 with native HEVC hardware decode.
-
The deinterlace changes need to be backported onto the kernel and ffmpeg branches that are being used in LE10 releases, and then we can think about spinning a new version. The lack of HEVC support, which is not on the Pi Foundation to-do list, means we are still 50/50 on what the user reaction will be like. It probably means we will choose timing; i.e. avoid Christmas and New Year periods when we'd like a break and some downtime with families. It's not the time to invite lots of user demand for something that can't be fixed.

Just copy the binary you compiled on RaspiOS over to LE along with the systemd .service files. You will probably need to fiddle with paths in the service files to get it working.
-
You can use a currently nightly image from https://test.libreelec.tv/ .. it's K20 not K19 but at this point in the dev cycle the the DB versions are still compatible.
-
Use the "box" image if the vendor u-boot (factory image) is still installed on eMMC and set the dtb name in uEnv.ini. The "wetek-play2" image requires the box to be boot using upstream/mainline u-boot on an SD card.
-
Forum rules prevent anyone from sharing links/sites where file-sets can be downloaded in bulk. Have a look at the Internet Archive Game Launcher (IAGL) in the Kodi repo. This plays files direct from the archive. SNES files are small so no big need to download them.
-
Most issues that result in random crashes and resets (that trigger safe-mode) are caused by add-ons.
-
kodiuser1 I've deleted all the LE10 images from my share now (as no intention to maintain them) so all images are pre-Alpha Nexus (K20) but at this point in the Kodi cycle the DB versions haven't changed and I'm not aware of any Kodi bugs that break anything. Use the 'box' image and set the dtb name in uEnv.ini to something suitable for whatever the box is (S912 devices are all very simliar).
-
LE 9.0 image is on the downloads page: https://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-Odro…rm-9.0.2.img.gz
Nexus testing imiage is here: https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE…droid-c2.img.gz
You can use Etcher or any other SD card writing app to write the image to the card.

LE images for Amlogic are using the upstream kernel. H264 is fine. HEVC works great in older SoC generations like S905X, but needs work with the newer devices like S922X. However, if you only need 1080p, you can always disable hardware decoding completely and use software which is no problem for the CPU on N2+ .. and while it will run warmer the N2/N2+ boards are basically a huge heatsink with a small board attached so it's no drama. The VDEC stuff is being poked, slowly. You also have the option to run CE with Amlogic legacy kernels.
