You might need to disable EFI secure boot?

cd /storage/.update
wget https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-11.0.2.tar
reboot

^ please update to that image and share the boot log again. The WiFi card appears to be the newer BCM43752 chip (as that's what the BT driver loaded firmware for) but it's odd the kernel doesn't show any attempt to probe SDIO. I can ask the Minix devs for the Android dts and schematics to look at.

Casting and streaming media "to" other devices gets complicated. It's easier to simply setup a central repository of media and then have the respective client devices independently connect and play media from it. In a home this would be a NAS device that can serve files over SMB, and with native Kodi apps for the different client device OS in use. The NAS can connects to a WiFi router, and if possible has an Ethernet connection to the Living Room player device (RPi4) as nothing sucks more than shitty WiFi killing the movie mood. Firesticks can also run Kodi natively, accessing the same content over SMB. If the NAS has options for Plex or Jellyfin you also have other options for native player apps with different features, e.g. Plex can serve content on-the-fly at reduced resolution which can be useful for WiFi connected clients that may have lower bandwidth, and kids don't care whether something is 4K or HD .. they care they're watching a movie with cousins.

As the NAS device is running in an environment with less stable power arrangements I'd use SSDs for storage instead of spinning drives. It won't prevent filesystems getting corrupted by will avoid physical drive damage from sudden power loss. Using a NAS and SSDs is more expensive than trying to frankenstein something with Raspberry Pi's and USB drives, but any trailer that size and with 3x TVs isn't exactly downmarket camping so you can probably afford it

LE has no desktop environment and no login prompt so (reading the first-post again) .. it sounds like you installed Debian not LE?

root/libreelec is the correct credential .. do "ssh -vvv root@<ipaddress>" and pastebin/share the output.

It's an S922X device so perhaps try the Beelink GT-King file, they're both based on the W400 reference design. What WiFi chip is inside?

Kodi is pre-configured for 1080p max as RPi4 (and all the other ARM boards/boxes we support) don't have the CPU grunt + I/O performance + memory bandwidth for handling 4K artwork. If you really must have 4K GUI .. you'll need to switch to a higher-end Intel device with fast RAM and an SSD or NVMe drive. And then you'll discover that most TVs do a better job of scaling 1080p art to 4K than Kodi does.

^ those are shown while playing the first file, but I have no clue what the cause might be. I would suggest that you enable "adjust refresh" with 1080@60/59.94/50/24/23.976 modes whitelisted and "mode doubling" enabled, but I'm not sure that will alter the experience. You need to have DRMPRIME decoding enabled (it should be by default).

You can also try updating to https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE….arm-11.0.2.tar which uses a newer kernel and marginally different patches. Again, I have low expectations of anything changing .. but you never know

Do not rename the dtb file to dtb.img as this 100% guarantees the box will not boot.

The instructions are here: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/hardware/amlogic#box-images

Please share the boot log (dmesg) from the box running LE (can you SSH over WiFi?) and after booting the original Android OS.

Download https://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-AMLG…droid-c2.img.gz and write it to an SD card (or the eMMC module) using another app like Etcher or Win32DiskImager. Not sure why it's not reaching 100% but the USB-SD app isn't doing anything special so it's fine to use something else.

phemmer Ignoring the obvious I/O errors, the one thing that stands out to me is this:

[ 1.557543] meson_uart c11084c0.serial: Failed to create device link (0x180) with wifi32k

Most of the errors are I/O and look like a dying SD card or perhaps bad PSU that causes instability issues for the (known to be problematically sensitive) MMC devices: SD/eMMC/SDIO. The failure of the wifi32k device to probe right means WiFi (SDIO) will not work, but oddly the other UART based device, BT, appears to proble. Most odd. Another possible cause is the MMC clock speed being too high, but it's only 100MHz (default in the upstream kernel is 50MHz) and it's been stable at that rate with other devices (stats show other U9-H users) so I don't think that's the reason. If the device has been booting CE or Android fine that would generally rule out PSU issues; they would likely show up in other OS too.

Please put this on a new/different SD card https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE….0.2-box.img.gz and see if you can grab the boot log again. I'm not seriously expecting anything to be different but it has some additional patches and a newer kernel than the official release so you never know

I deleted the other post on the same topic. Keep to one thread and please stop formatting text with code tags (unless you really do want posts to be ignored)..

Stats show a bunch of active installs using the GT1 device-tree file. Read: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/hardware/amlogic

Create a clean LE11 image (to remove previous configuration attempts). Now edit "config.txt" and change "include distroconfig.txt" to "include distroconfig-composite.txt" and then boot the board. Working?

NB: Kodi only supports progressive output.

You might also want to check-out dtech LE 9.2.8 release for older WeTek boxes.

Nope. Still there.

The mode list ^ shows you haven an older "HD Ready" TV that does 720p max. Kodi only outputs progressive so we ignore the 1080 interlaced modes that are available.

The 2/3/4 plays in the log follow this format; note the unsupported stream warning. The first play doesn't show the warning .. not sure why but all are trying to play 1080@25 media at 720@50 which probably isn't going to work.

In most countries channels are broadcast in 540p (PAL) or 480p (NTSC) "SD" versions and 720p or 1080p "HD" versions. As you don't have a 1080p capable TV you will need to remove/ignore the 1080p HD channels in your channel list.
