"journalctl | paste" and share the URL

Put the file in /storage/.kodi/media/splash.png and restart Kodi (or reboot).

Run "dmesg | paste" and look for errors when the automount attempts to mount the drive. If the mount state is 'dirty' you may need to fsck the drive first to clear the flag before automount can succeed.

Just change the screensaver to "Black" then the GUI is only visible when you're actually navigating the GUI which is an overall small(er) percentage of total on-screen time (movies and TV will be visible for a lot longer). If you're in high paranoia mode .. reduce the wait time from 3 mins. I have mine set to 2 mins. I found 1 mins got a little annoying..

LE is focussed on simple client access to Kodi. However we are open-source and our build-system is pretty simple to figure out so you're welcome to build a customer image where the kernel has additional modules enabled for Docker swarms support. If the resulting increase in KERNEL image size is small .. tell us how much and we may consider a pull-request on GitHub to add support to the core distro. If no pull-request comes and/or the file-size increase is large then we're happy your custom image works for you, but this is a niche requirement and it's not needed for the other 99.9999% of our userbase. Does that sound fair?

LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-9.80.9-wetek-play2.img.gz <= now boots u-boot 2021.01 from SD card .. the only weird thing is I need to configure Kodi audio fixed 44.1KHz output else there is no audio. The image needs vendor u-boot to be erased from emmc first (else it always boots from emmc). If anyone wants to experiment you should back-up emmc first so it can be restored later if you'd prefer.

Cable connected to the wrong port? .. must use the port nearest the power connector.

You can see how you get on with LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-9.80.9-box.img.gz .. If you stick to 1080p content it should be quite usable, but 4K is still a bit hit/miss and no HDR or HEVC support (S905X3 can s/w decode HEVC to 1080p). You need to edit the dtb name in extlinux.conf to match the device-tree file you choose, there is an experimental one for X96-Air 2G/4G devices.

spinecho Anything with Kodi Krypton will not support S905X3 devices. You can go forwards (Matrix) but not back.

Let's see after the team call

Sounds like we need a team call then .. because previous/current plan is to not release formal images

This is how to fake the HDMI connection: EDID - LibreELEC.wiki

I'd guess the IPTV source changed something (as nothing changed on your end). Most IPTV services are pirate services so the operation may have been taken down .. in which case we don't care much for your problem. In the unlikely event it was a non-pirate service sharing a proper debug log via pastebin might be more revealing than the few lines you posted.

Squeezebox is not a LibreELEC add-on so best to post in the add-on support thread in Kodi forums.

NB: La langue de la forum est Anglais, postez en deux langues (originale et traduction) SVP.

The canupdate file must be at /usr/share/bootloader/canupdate.sh within the SYSTEM file either by embedding it directly into the filesystem or being picked from a "bootloader" folder at project or device level. If you put it anywhere else it will not be seen or used.

[ "$1" = "iMX6.arm" ] && exit 0 || exit 1

Your current script passes imx6.arm as $1 (the $PROJECT.$ARCH of the current image) to the script which evaluates true (exit 0) so the upgrade continues. In the PR I've changed it to ^ this which will evaluate false (exit 1) and fail .. but as you point out, if the older image doesn't support zstd it will also fail.

Test images are on Index of / .. there will be no "official" alpha images for LE10 because too many people don't read release notes and will blindly update and then whinge when it's not a) exactly the same, or b) perfect. Better to field user Q's about why there is no official image (which didn't break anything) than deal with proper support issues.

HEVC has been working for months (H264 is/was the hold-up). 4K is working now (not 4K60, but that's will be along eventually). HDR is complicated but will come. Upstreaming will take time.. but getting it all working comes first. We aren't going to do a formal Pi release for LE10 out of an abundance of caution (we have hundreds of thousands of Pi users) but things are moving along nicely..
