Read post #6 .. the link you keep posting is not our wiki.

8.95.3 is stable, and 9.0.0 will be along imminently..

SD card image and burning tool images are different formats.

LE uses syslinux for 64-bit systems and GRUB for 32-bit .. specifically for dealing with these Atom devices. They can run a 64-bit OS, but they require a 32-bit bootloader.

Go read the instructions in the LE wiki that do not require LIRC - it's really not required for 99% of the remotes out there.

As long as you're using the current LE 9.0 release the version of the add-on in our repo will be the latest one available. If there's an issue with the add-on running on K18 then it should be reported to the add-on creator via the Kodi forum support thread.

H.264 is an 8-bit video standard and RPi has full support for hardware decoding it. Your video is 10-bit, which is not in-spec for the standard, so your RPi can only software decode it (even at 720p resolution) and as you've discovered that's beyond the CPU capabilities of an RPi device. You'll need to upgrade to something with more CPU grunt (Intel CPU, not ARM) or re-encode the video to 8-bit.

Put the eMMC module in the USB adaptor and write the image direct to eMMC same as an SD card.

I found the VU+ git repo with some OpenEmbedded recipes. I stopped looking when I saw "3.14.28" kernel being used. It's probably possible to make an LE image for that hardware but "backwards" is never a good technical direction.

So, definitely not supported.

S912 is now working on mainline linux kernels using the "panfrost" open-source alternative to the non-existent ARM mali blob and balbes150 has a testing image available via his K18 release thread for the curious to look at. Panfrost is still under fluid development and it's not stable enough for real-world use yet; there are memory leaks so you can play video but navigating around in the GUI eventually triggers OOM crashes. It's making rapid progress though, and is attracting lots of known names from the Linux graphics community who are helping to move things forwards (even ARM's open-source group are engaged) so in the next couple of months we should reach a point where issues are resolved or reduced enough for proper public testing to start.

Fusion repo = piracy = The only push you will get, is a push out of this forum.

NB: Our Kodi add-on repo will not work on other distros.

No, because Kodi has no HDMI video input capabilities.

tekno LE is a fixed function mediacentre client-oriented distro. If you want to develop php apps and run web services .. you are using the wrong distro. Use Ubuntu or Armbian etc. which has all the package management features you need.

What are you asking for? (use more words)

LE can be built in a Docker container (various flavours of Ubuntu OS inside the container) and an LE install can host Docker containers, but LE cannot itself run in a container and there are no plans to change that. If you need to run a virtual instance of LE there's a vmware OVA that can be imported into workstation/fusion/esxi but that's the only options (no other Hypervisors are supported) and be aware that we have never officially supported the VM image - it's a development tool used for functional testing only. To download it get the URL for the Generic image and change .img.gz to .ova

If you have an S905/X/D/W device and a spare SD card balbes150 testing images are available

If it's not listed here: http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_main_page

It's not supported.

The installer for the linuxserver.io repo is in our repo.
