^ this avoids editing cache files that aren't supposed to be edited.

It should just work. USB2 vs USB3 shouldn't be an issue.

The Generic image installer has a single partition which boots and runs a graphical installer where you select the target device to install to. Other images have two partitions and the installer script auto-expands the second partition to fill the available space on first boot. In all cases the second partition is ext4 so it cannot be seen or mounted by Windows or macOS. It should visible from "diskutil list" in Terminal.

If there are no modifications to the images we would prefer that users visit the LE website and click our links to get our software. If you have decent bandwidth and hosting infrastructure for your server and would like to provide an official mirror server to improve the download experience for Turkish LE users; we publish our mirror master on rsync://http://releases.libreelec.tv/releases. PM me with technical details and if the spec is good we can add your mirror to our pool. I can geo-lock to Turkey only if required, although regional download use for the region is quite low so it's probably not worth the effort.

^ as long as this gets merged tonight it will appear in the repo sometime tomorrow

ozkaradag What has been changed in the LE images on your site? .. and where are the published sources of the modifications?

Nope. The information on what's supported is technically in GitHub, but not as a nicely sorted list. I hope you like reading kernel config

To clarify.. VideoPlayer changes in Krypton left Amlogic support completely broken, but we backported work from Leia that solves most of the main problems. Unfortunately the "vpudate" branch changes in Leia quickly diverged beyond a point where we could sensibly backport anything more so Krypton remains in limbo. Your next challenge will be an Amlogic mainline kernel. This will only support S9xx chipsets and maybe S8xx, but not the 8726MX in the WP1. If a viable mainline kernel arrives in advance of Leia we will drop WP1 support and focus on a modern codebase. At the moment it doesn't look like the timing will align, so WP1 will get 9.0, probably..

MAINTAINERS lists a few @hisilicon.com names and the repo here: GitHub - hisilicon/linux-hisi appears to have a fairly recent kernel .. although it's not possible to look at that and easily see what state things are in. It still doesn't change the fact that we have nobody on team in contact with them or a willing volunteer - which means nothing will change in the near future.

NB: On the topic of dead things .. wetek türkiye | wetek depo türkiye could use an update (or better, replace with a blank index.html file)

ahh, the module is called "8192cu" not rtl8192cu" .. rinse/repeat

Please share a link to the PR/fix for Leia and we can ask the Kodi developer who did the fix if it will backport for 17.5 ..

Samba 3.x /storage/.config/samba.conf configurations must be updated to use the new Samba 4.x template (samba.conf.sample) as some Samba 3.x configuration is incompatible. The embedded Samba server may fail to start until this is done. If the reason for older changes was workgroup name please delete the file and use the new in-GUI configuration method.

^ text from the release notes that you didn't read before updating

Report the bug to Kodi via their forums. Kodi bugs are Kodi bugs, not LE bugs.

The usual problem is a new variant of an existing sensor that is not explicitly supported by the Linux kernel. This results in the new sensor using the incorrect maths for an older sensor and our cputemp/gputemp scripts correctly read the incorrect values reported by the kernel. As it is a cosmetic problem we generally do nothing and eventually the kernel gets updated and the issue resolves itself.

Kodi Helix and Krypton are quite different and it is never realistic to update Kodi and expect all configuration options to remain the same. Krypton has major changes to VideoPlayer and amcodec - and our objective for Krypton was removing all the ugly high-level Kodi hacking to solve low-level kernel problems and create a sustainable codebase that allows forward progress. If we didn't do that Kodi would have dropped amcodec support completely (as part of the Android move to mediacodec/audiotrack) and there would be no Krypton releases for Amlogic devices. The end result is not perfect or complete although most people find the overall stability and performance with a broad range of media to be improved. Kodi Leia contains the next wave of VideoPlayer and amcodec changes.

I wasn't aware of that one (or the other upstream fork). It looks like development stalled around the time we forked and is long-dead. Those devices are obsolete now and the kernel's used are ancient. Not something to rush into

Support for HQ scalers at 4k resolutions has been patched out because the upstream Kodi developers got fed-up with seeing bug reports of things not working .. due to a lack of GPU performance. The patch is not very democratic because higher-end Intel hardware can sometimes cope, but that hardware is only present with a tiny minority of users.
