I'd boot up an Ubuntu VM and install ddcutil, then copy the binary over to LE. Depending on how standalone and portable the binaries are compiled it may work .. or it may not

^ Gatekeeper will complain about it not being signed correctly etc. but this should work. Signing is the next bit we need to fix.

About 85% of the info that we might be interested in has been removed from the log. Paste the whole log.

I have tested the whole thing three times. Now i am on version 9.x
You may have tested it three times but we see debug log output for zero times and we suck at diagnosing issues via ESP or guesswork. You are welcome to run a fourth test and provide some technical evidence of the problem

Is possible to do something and get dvb-T2/s2 tuner works?
Unless you are volunteering to write the missing V4L2 demux driver, no, someone needs to write the driver.

HDR is mind-bendingly complicated. Some bits should work. Other bits are not implemented. Other bits are .. go test and tell us

There's no need to post more messages (or test nightlies) until we actually merge a fix.

All nightly Generic images are GBM: https://test.libreelec.tv/

Just run "alsamixer" .. then use arrow keys to select the toacodec output and tweak the volume levels.
-
If you install the multimedia-tools add-on to get alsamixer (accessed via SSH) is the analogue output (toacodec) set to 100%? - If yes, do the pops stop if output is reduced to 80%?

HEVC support is still experimental (not upstream) and how frames are queued/buffered to feed the hardware decoder needs work to avoid stalls. The pink line is known - I'd like to understand whether it is codec (MPEG2?) or media size (under 1080p?) related. I haven't heard audio pops for a long time, but I'd generally recommend using pass-through for multi-channel audio as PCM has an unresolved issue with speaker placement (FC is RL position, SUB in RR, etc.).

The WP1 may also be too weak (CPU) to cope with the newer LE/Kodi versions.
It's not about the weak CPU (although it is indeed not great). It's about the general lack of upstream kernel support for Meson6 hardware. It's just too old and nobody is working on that generation of devices. The little support that does exist upstream is mostly trickle down support for things in-common with Meson8, which is slowly making progress.

Is possible play full quality MQA on CoreELEC (S905x3)?
Best to ask the CE devs in their forum. It's not really anything to do with LE.
-
We think the issue has been identified but we are still testing. Once the fix is confirmed, then it will be merged and nightlies will pick up the fix.

It may need more than a straight swap of the SD card, i.e. You may need to force recovery boot mode again else the boot scripts we use to hook vendor u-boot (which are different to the ones used in legacy images and CE) may not be read and used. Unfortunately the only real way to see what's going on is hooking up a UART (serial console) cable to the board, but that requires you to have one, and opening the case, and sometimes soldering is needed. See if forcing recovery boot again works?
NB: Hardware decode is working again in https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/ images and current nightlies.

Hi, I Am on 10.85 / S912 i can see strange behavior but on Play screen only. Menu like information, bookmarks etc. looks duplicated (with small offset). External subtitles are also affected.
Known problem where something in the OSD plane isn't calculated correctly. If you, e.g. put the debug overlay on/off/on/off .. each time you make it visible it will shift by 1px. It's may be related to the pink line (also 1px suggesting something is misaligned) but figuring out that kind of thing in code needs someone that can read the code better than me. It's in the list.

Any plans for getting the LE 10.x ported to these old Amlogic devices?
No plans for LE10 because we are working on LE11, see: Official LE Test Images for Amlogic (Kodi-20)
NB: Currently for S905 and newere and will extend to Meson 8 devices in the future hopefully. No plans for Meson6 (WP1).
