    I'm not sure what the message was but it was not an LE distro/OS update notification. Until 20 mins ago there were no Slice/Slice2 project files on our releases server and those files are not indexed and will not result in notifications yet. Later today when v7.90.009 is made available you can perform a normal manual update from within the LE settings add-on.

    Feedback is negative because we consider good sales and technical support service, long-term firmware updates and good technical engagement from the vendor to be key elements of "value" in a product. If you take the "cheap" route there is no profit in the device and the things we care about most are the first things to be cut to avoid a $loss.

    The reason most of the staff on this project like WeTek/HK is they understand this and are prepared to make a more expensive product that delivers better value to their (very different audiences) of consumers. We have no commercial or sponsorship relationship with either vendor. They simply care about the things we care about.

    This provider is selling access to BBC content that is not legally available outside of the BBC's official streaming service so they are a pirate IPTV stream provider. As such I have removed the URLs from posts and this thread is locked.

    Discussion on pirate IPTV streaming is not welcome in this forum.

    It will be possible in Kodi v18 if/when the ADSP add-ons are finished and supported. If you run LE 7.90.001-008 you'll find them in the add-on repo. If you run 7.90.009 (next alpha) they have been removed from our repo due to the upstream decision to bump them to v18.

    If you do the changes we promise Hyper-V will be neglected equally to vmware and vbox. Virtual is an internal testing tool not a "supported" project for broad public consumption. We have no objections to a few people using it as long as the support status is clearly understood. Some in the wider community would like Virtual to be taken seriously and supported, but as none of them want to step forward and act as its maintainer it's current status is unlikely to change anytime soon.


    I am running Raspbian Jessie LITE with KODI Jarvis V16 updated by doing a "apt-get" from pipplware.pplware.pt. I was under the impression that the people who wrote LibreElec were also involved in the KODI / Raspberry Jessie Lite project. Please correct me if I am wrong. Is this an issue that should be reviewed by the Raspberry Jessie LITE or KODI project developers?

    There are a small number of people who are members of both project teams. However you are in the LibreELEC forum where we discuss and take interest in "Kodi on LibreELEC" issues. If you want support for "Kodi on something else" the questions belong in the Kodi or the other distros' support forum (Kodi's would be my recommendation). It's not that we're trying to be difficult .. I'm one of the 3-4 people who sits in both teams and I've never booted anything but LibreELEC on pi hardware or installed Debian on anything else, so I'd suck at guessing what your Jessie Light problem is.

    I'm still building official things on 16.04 which works fine as I created a 7.0.2-ish image yesterday. We're not really interested in trying to solve custom build issues on the 7.0 branch as Jarvis is basically a closed book now, but if you create a Krypton build (master branch) it will use gcc 6.2 which might sidestep the version issue. Despite the 'Alpha' working label Raspberry Pi builds are extremely stable.

    A note for anyone self-building things from my slice-8.0 branch on GitHub:

    Gordon figured out how to make Kodi correctly detect an IEC958 device which allows the S/PDIF output to send lovely 5.1 output to an AVR *BUT* you must ensure the "Sync playback to display" option in System > Playback is disabled for multi-channel audio to work. If you have SP2D enabled *all* audio is resampled to 2.0 PCM. In older Isengaard/Jarvis Kodi builds it's possible to have SP2D enabled and still get multi-channel output (sort of a bug that's fixed in Krypton) so if you update to these builds this might catch you out.

    NB: The snd_slice.conf to enable 5.1 output will be in v7.90.009 which is sort of ready but waiting for Kodi 17-beta 6 which is taking an age to be released due to some unresolved addon update/crash bugs affecting Windows Kodi builds.
