The reason the TB image is not listed in the USB/SD Creator app is we need to modify the app to not crash when RK images with suffixes are listed in the JSON data. Fixing that is somewhere on our to-do list, but not yet at the top of the list.

NB: All of our RK images are currently in a persistent 'alpha' state while we finish reworking the codebase around the mainline kernel .. the alpha's use the older RK 4.4 kernel. That work is approaching the point where we can switch and then start the journey towards LE10 which is when things should be officially official.

Sorry I missed that. We have an (unsupported) OVA for vmware that we use for development work but Virtual PC, VirtualBox, Parallels, HyperV, KVM etc. all require drivers that we don't have in the distro images. There's no plan to change that.

Kodi will remove nVidia support sometime soon, but that only impacts development for v19 and the release date for that is still a long way off. So have a play with LE (using the nVidia card that works with v18) and worry about the upgrade when the time comes, by which time there will be updated and new hardware available to choose from.

We all need to take a deep breath and recite "fcuk off Adam" a few times (genuflecting optional) and hope that Smurfette can find something more productive to do with "her" time.

^ BR playback is possible-ish, but not the "put disc in and it always works" solution that everyone looks for

I rarely use Desktop Linux so have no suggestions. You'll have to research that yourself.

rgmii (10/100/1000) and rmii (10/100) are different realtek PHY drivers .. the PHY is responsible for the physical connection to the network and Amlogic chips support "internal" rmii for free (it's part of the core SoC). Cost-engineered devices often skip the optional "external" PHY chip (usually rgmii but there are other options) to shave cents on the manufacturing costs. I'm not sure rmii is a good designation so the dts name might change, i've asked the kernel maintainers for their suggestions and preference.

^ this is an (incomplete) experiment in solving the problem on mainline Amlogic kernels. It won't work exactly the same as the CPU serial number is not exposed the same way on legacy kernels, as but you should be able to tweak the cpumac-config script and change the system.d service to ExecStart the modified script from a /storage/ location to make something work. Once you stop the MAC address changing on each boot by overwriting with a known value, the IP address you set via static config (via connman, or DHCP reservation in the router) won't change.

An OVA for vmware (workstation, player, vSphere) exists to support development work, but we have never formally supported it and have zero plans to change that or delve further into virtual hardware usage (KVM etc.) as it's very niche. YMMV.

Images are built and being tested.. it will come soon.

Kodi v17 and v18 are different with different features. Settings that exist in both will "migrate" to the newer version. Settings that never existed before the new version will need to be set. This has been true of all Kodi releases since I've run in the last decade. In most cases add-ons should self-update on first run of the newer version, but there may be reasons why that didn't happen and resulted in things being disabled. The main reasons are that you have old versions of Kodi binary add-ons are installed that are no longer API compatible and nothing newer is available. If all the add-ons were disabled you had a corrupted add-on DB leading to migration failure. In this case the problem add-on DB is cleared and automatically regenerated, but all the add-ons are disabled to prevent issues.

This thread is for balbes150 testing LE releases which are now focussed on the mainline kernel. If you want to run CE releases and discuss CE topics please take the chatter to their forum. If you want to experiment with mainline kernel images and LE things feel free to hang around here.

You will need to include user/password details as mount options because Win10 requires authenticated connections.

I've boot tested a C2 running the AMLGX (mainline kernel) image and from tonight or whenever the next balbes150 image gets pushed the HK remote works OOTB including power on/off (i've added device-tree keymap configuration and a kernel driver for the HK remote this morning). I have no idea about Harmony compatibility but it's a standard NEC protocol device so it probably isn't a big challenge for a learning remote.

I'm not implying anything, and I don't know what your MX3 variant is .. you were talking about C2 before.

It's been broken for a long time. I'm honestly not sure why it's still not marked as such in the Kodi repo.

What is hosting/providing the SMB server?

KyleS at this point there is no technical solution for S905X2 wifi on the mainline kernel. If that changes, then we can negotiate the project decision on how ugly the patch is and what to support.
