[le92] tz: update to 2019c by HiassofT · Pull Request #4105 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub is merged and will be picked up in the next Leia bump (although there is no schedule on that).

It's mostly being discussed between Pi Foundation and LE developers in our private chat, with some overspill into the Pi Foundation GitHub repo when bits of plumbing are added there and other external people notice.

It's a simple-sounding idea until you attempt to programattically define what "idle" means in an environment where the OS and Kodi are constantly doing something. It's a non-trivial thing to do.

What's the model name of the MacBook? .. and what GPU does it actually contain?

balbes150 publishes some images that are mostly based on my upstream sources. I don't publish images myself.

From a networking perspective LE is functionally no different to any other Linux OS. You can use the settings add-on (or connmanctl from the console) to give the device a static IP address (switch from auto to manual config and set one). If you need to 'name' things /storage/.config/hosts.conf acts the same as /etc/hosts.

Fixed IP = Static IP .. instead of DHCP

Thank you! I'll try that later today.

Any hints about the compile process? Was my last build command with the "box" u-boot OK? Do I need to dd the u-boot to the disk and copy the u-boot.usb to the fat partition or that should be already included in the image?

"PROJECT=Amlogic DEVICE=AMLG12 ARCH=arm UBOOT_SYSTEM=box make image" should give you something that most boxes will boot via one of the usual reset methods. The X96max dtb is another S905X2 device, although some are 1000-BaseT and others 100-BaseT so it's not exact.

LE master branch is still on Linux 5.3 and I'm not sure what state the nightly images are in .. but doesn't sound good. I'm working on a bump to Linux 5.5 but that still has some unresolved issues on older hardware and some weeks to run before I push a PR to GitHub - the amlogic-master branch in my git repo has current changes if you want to self build something. Once that bump goes in nightlies should be in good again; although pending the ffmpeg and Kodi changes needed for hardware decode (work on that hopefully starts next week).

LE 9.2 is using the MMAL code path in Kodi which will give hardware decoding. LE master is configured for the GBM/V4L2 code path in Kodi and I'm not aware that this supports hardware decoding yet .. which matches your experience.

You need to add the u-boot.ext file to the SD card, then we chainload modern u-boot and avoid the weird colours that appear with Amlogic u-boot. Oleg has the file on his yandex drive. Don't expect all the video stuff to be working in the image .. because Olegs images appear to be based on my work in progress Linux 5.5 bump (which is work in progress, not complete).

Something probably got missed in the 5.4 kernel bump and reconfiguration of things. I've pinged someone..

The kernel init script cannot find the disk= device that's been specified in boot params. This is usually because the kernel cannot see it (missing mmc driver) or your're trying to use disk=GUID=<string> when the kernel only supports LABEL or PARTUUID.

Английский язык пожалуйста!

Once people come back from vacations I'll ask for an update. Nothing to report right now.
