The reason for skipping 1080 @ 25/29.97/30 is interlaced content which needs the "double" refresh rates to render (Kodi always outputs progressive) but there is no interlaced broadcast 4K media so you don't need to do the same thing. So whitelist whatver 4K modes are visible.

First thing to do is retest with a current LE10 nightly to validate the problem still exists, because basically everything in the OS is updated (including connman) and there will be no more 9.2 releses. FYI, LE does not use the DNS proxy feature in connman.

belaid38 It sounds like the box booted from the SD card then? (install completed). You need to put settings into expert mode and set the PCM audio output to "fixed" with 41KHz bitrate. I haven't figured out why this is required on WP2 yet. It is not needed on GXL and newer devices or an Odroid C2 (also a GXBB device) .. definitely something odd.

If you remove all SD cards and USBs and attach the UART cable (which WeTek shipped with the box) you'll see the box fail to boot .. as there is no longer a bootloader. Now if you write the SD card using my wp2 image it should boot (from the SD card) and you'll see UART output. NB: I didn't test the WP2 for a few weeks (as moved back to RPi4 for a bit) but i'm not aware of anyhing that changed enough to break boot.

It's possibly/probably related to the incomplete BT rework in our settings add-on, but can't really say since you expect us to blindly guess things instead of sharing logs.

I will switch to OE 10 once it is stable.

Good luck with that. OE is a dead project since 2017.

You'll need to find someone who knows and cares about Realtek USB wifi devices. That person is not me.

Just try other SM1 box devices. NB: there will be no DVB support, and wireless is a lottery unless the boxes have broadcom SDIO modules.

LE includes a Samba (SMB) server, which is on by default unless you turned it off during the first-run wizard.

It maps to /storage/.kodi/addons .. it's failing to write the zip to disk. Check the /storage partition size?

Awfully impossible to do any research on your problems without you sharing system logs that show what the actual errors are. If absence of factual info please Google "bluetooth error linux" and see how you get on

C4 is supported in the upstream kernel (and LE nightlies which are based on my branch) for ages. The builds I publish are more usable than the nightly images though, due to some experimental changes to ffmpeg to improve on H264 seeking that I include.

See: Index of /testing/9.80/ .. write to SD card or emmc module and boot.

add "systemd.debug_shell=ttyS0" to the APPEND line

dd on macOS uses =1m, on Linux it's =1M .. I always forget. Note that /dev/device does not exist, you need to swap that for the /dev/mmcblk? device that corresponds to the emmc. If you're booted from one of my images the output of "emmctool" will tell you what the /dev/device is.

Boot an LE image. Connect a 16GB (or larger) USB stick, formatted EXT4. Run "dd if=/dev/device of=/var/mount/USB/backup.img bs=1m" to clone the contents of emmc to a file on the USB drive. The /dev/device will be something like /dev/mmcblk0 .. whatever the internal emmc is, and where USB is the disk label for the USB drive. You'll have to figure out what these are. Once the backup is complete (it will take time) .. "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/device bs=1m" will erase the emmc. Once emmc is erased (and vendor u-boot is gone) the WP2 will find mainline u-boot on the SD card and use it.

It prevents spam posts from bots advertising miracle tablets that claim to help you lose <banned word> .. and we value the blocking (and resulting admin time saving) over the ocasional user inconvenience.

Official:Forum rules/Banned add-ons - Official Kodi Wiki <= no further support while you have banned add-ons installed. You will need to provide logs showing a clean system before anything else happens.

There is no further development on LE 9.2 so best thing would be to switch to LE10 nightly images. They are quite stable for RPi4 now. The video driver stack is completely different so you might find new and exciting issues, but if you do, they may be fixed (unlike LE9.2 where they won't be).
