Make sure your HTPC has the correct datetime else the SSL certificate can be seen as invalid.

8.2.3 files are restored to the server

That's set somewhere in Kodi code, it's not 'configured' so it would need to be patched out. I'm not sure that's feasible.

It's attempting to mount boot=UUID=<string> and disk=UUID=<string> (as specified in extlinux.conf but can't find the disk= partition to mount the SYSTEM file, so you're dumpted into the limited initramfs shell environment.

What kind of storage device is it?

RockPro64 and Renegade Elite are both from vendors with a long-term proven commitment to Linux support. Khadas are getting better but still seem to focus on Android and simple stuff like designing a case and heatsink that can be paired together seems to escape their design team. Radxa are an unknown quantity at this point in time.

Ahh... I know the issue now. Slice stopped at 8.2.3 because 8.2.4 caused an issue and 8.2.5 didn't solve it, and all 8.2.3 files were removed from the server during a recent cleanup. I'll copy them back to the server from archive.libreelec.tv later, but you might as well install the current beta not the previous version - it's stable. NB: I'd recommend making a backup and flashing the eMMC - it's not hard and you'll get more storage and a clean system. These days there's no advantage to the NOOBs based stuff that Five Ninjas originally put on the system.

I'm not sure who you're messaging. There is nobody called Jack Ma on LE staff, and adding his address here doesn't magically send email. And that git repo is nothing to do with us. Very confusing

The download area lists full releases only. Hence Slice (and Generic, and RPi, etc.) show LibreELEC 8.2.5 which is still the latest full release.

Once LibreELEC 9.0 moves out of beta to full release .. links will be updated.

An Intel Core i7 with 4x cores and SSD takes around 3.5 hours. First time compile will be significantly longer as sources for the 380+ packages used need to be downloaded. If your Internet connection isn't quick..

As promised several months ago .. these changes should make using OpenVFD easier openvfd: reimplement openvfd support by chewitt · Pull Request #3227 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

Long-term goal is to add a conf pick-list in the settings add-on, but that depends on my Python skills which are a bit rubbish

The log shows that it's connecting to ipv6 servers (only) for NTP and all requests fail. So did you (as asked) manually configure a single ipv4 address as NTP1 server and reboot to force the change? .. that's the log I want to see. Also remove the autostart.sh script.

Try using the "wait for network" delay (which is just a dumb countdown timer) in LE settings to delay start by 10 seconds. It sounds like a starting driver timing or sequencing issue and that might resolve it.

echo "blacklist ssv6051" > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
reboot

^ should do it - and that driver is a complete POS, it should be removed (and it will be in the mainline kernel switch).

@Da_Flex please stop offering bogus "use Etcher" advice to users. The tool used to create the USB/SD media cannot result in different permissions for the /storage/.kodi folder because this folder does not exist in the .img file - it is created by scripts during first run.

Projector supports HDMI 1.4 (up to 4K30) not HDMI 2.0 (up to 4K60)?

Honestly.. no idea. Copy the "before" dtb.img and experiment. You can't break anything

OpenELEC has *never* released an S912 image.

fdtput -t s /flash/dtb.img /i2c@c1108500/pcf8563@51 status "okay"
echo "aml_i2c" > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/rtc.conf
echo "rtc_pcf8563" >> /storage/.config/modprobe.d/rtc.conf

^ run than and reboot and it should be all that's needed to make it work (famous last words). It updates the device tree with the node required and then sets the modules to be loaded on boot. The dtb.img change should persist until something replaces the file (e.g. an OS update).
