Differences in boot configuration require you to do a clean install but "backup > clean install > restore" should work fine. You will need to reset the audio config as the device names will change.

AMLGX is for GXBB/GXL/GXM hardware
AMLG12 is for G12A/B hardware

LE official Amlogic mainline images will be "arm" for libwidevine compatibility so I don't build "aarch64" add-ons for the amlgx repo. Anyone who wants to run aarch64 images are welcome to do so, but you will also need to source/provide your own add-ons. If you already installed the "arm" version of the add-on and are flip-flopping between arm/aarch64 for testing.. the arm addon is not going to work in aarch64 userspace. TL/DR; all bug reports of "no access to tvheadend" will be ignored because "PEBKAC" and it's not a bug.

balbes150 revert WIP: drm/meson: fix primary plane disabling · chewitt/linux@076cd72 · GitHub with drm/meson: revert "fix primary plane disabling" · chewitt/linux@8e848fc · GitHub or video only renders when the OSD layer is visible. I flagged the problem to Neil but the commits are still in his branch.

If you want stability/reliability on a connection always use Ethernet. If you use WiFi "all bets are off" because there are so many extra variables added to the process. Pi 3B is also known for being "okay" and not "great" with wireless performance (3B+ is evolutionarily better but not revolutionary). If you are stuck with wireless the best approach is a wireless router/bridge device that provides Ethernet to the Pi. I'm regularly working with devices that don't have working wifi drivers so I have an Apple A1rport Express for that purpose .. small, good reception on the last generations of them, and usually quite cheap on eBay - I go for the ones without a box, no cable, and look filthy - as they clean-up fine, I have cables, and they're the cheapest.

dts = dtb .. but you answered the Q .. thanks

JohnBoyz I'm interested in whether this image: libreelec-amlg12.arm-9.1.0-sdcard.img.gz has working ethernet using the x96max dts (there is no rmii variant in the image). Sound should be working.
NB: Files will be removed in a couple of hours - I'm not about to start releasing images. And do not read anything into the version number, it simply ensures that some scripts I use have a static filename to target.

Regarding S905x2 HDMI audio. It is noted that it only has 2 channel out. Can 5.1 channel work with passthrough?
Nope. I said 2.0 output because it has 2.0 output.

I'm not sure 3D will be on anyone's agenda for the Kodi GBM video pipeline - it's seen as a very niche/dead feature these days. OSMC are using the legacy kernel codebase so any fixes there aren't immediately transferrable.

Intel folks appear to have been on vacation (en masse) so not much activity in the last week.

Just to report that I don't see any improvement in playback of HEVC files compared to the previous builds.
About half of my vids (so far) don't play - just buffers to 100% and gets stuck, and others that do play have issues with ff,rw, skip seek etc causing lockups (as in previous builds).
HEVC has some rough spots but should generally play fine on GX (not G12A/B which has zero support for HEVC at the moment) hardware with 8-bit media. Most streamed HEVC media is 8-bit, but most ripped HEVC media is 10-bit and right now there is no 10-bit support in the HDMI driver. Once 10-bit support lands; then some work can be done to continue development on the HEVC decoder. There's no need for bug reports - we're engaged with the developers doing that work and we have a good and library of bad media for testing with.

hi
kernel 5,2 rc1 is out
When we try lima 450 mali with kernel 5,2
These images have been running lima for Mali-450 (and panfrost for Mali-T820) for some time already. Look in Kodi SysInfo.

TX3 mini should have working 2.0 audio out-of-box - no need for a USB soundcard unless you're chasing multi-channel support. We have a sponsor for that work now, but due to existing commitments with the sponsor and the implementor it will be a while before it happens.
G12A/B hardware now has working 2.0 audio and multi-channel should follow (before we see it on GX). I'm refining the config but it should appear in balbes150 images 'soon' ..
Remotes should work fine as long as you have a keymap configured. Infrared Remotes [LibreELEC.wiki] has all the info needed.

I think the list of what works depends on the version of macOS that you have. I tried Macmini before picking the Xserve icon when making the PR.

datrh please note that we evolved "cpumac" package into "ethmactool" which is now merged into master branch.

I'm no genius with device-trees so there's still a few things to figure out, but VIM3 is up and running
-
WeTek Play 2 is supported in mainline test images (we only dropped the legacy kernel). It's Amlogic though, not Allwinner, so this is the wrong thread.

Yup, those .. and any more that get added. DVB currently requires a large out-of-tree patch series that's best confined to community images until it's reworked and sent upstream (if that ever happens). General advice - on all ARM platforms - is to use USB tuners or stick a Raspberry Pi on the network (in a cupboard) somewhere as the drivers are overall better quality and you're not dependent on the whims of community development.
