@Monica (and other shill accounts for Khadas VIM). If you wanted to build a positive reputation for your products and brand with our project all you had to do was participate openly and honestly with our community of users. Instead you see us as a marketing opportunity and have registered multiple forum accounts to post URL links that promote your product and boost Google page rank scores. This is not welcome, and as you have ignored previous warnings your account is now banned from the forum.

@Monica We have no problem with commercial parties providing assistance and support to their users who posting queries/issues in our forum. We have a big problem if you persist in posting "advertorial" content full of links to reviews of your products etc. to boost your Google page ranking. We are not a marketing opportunity and I have binned other threads with unacceptable content - and posts above are edited. Final warning. Thanks.

Has anyone tried these builds yet with the Xiaomi Mi Box yet? It looks to me like the perfect S905X box, available in the US, well supported, 4k and HDR... etc.

AFAIK nobody on staff has one (or at best maybe one person has) and I doubt Xiaomi can spell Linux. You might want to adjust your definition of well supported.

Retest using MMAL only pls.

Are you using OMXplayer or MMAL on the RPi?

No logs .. no problem.

MikeBuzz, how?

Same URL .. change Slice3 to Slice.

We compiled it, and for playback everything works very nice after recent changes, but if you scroll about in a Library view (as users do) it eventually goes OOM and a power pull is needed to restart the box. Rinse/repeat until something corrupts and you need to reinstall. That's not acceptable in our definition of beta so we chose not to release it.

If you want to self-build just clone or checkout the libreelec-8.0 branch and crack on.

The add-on you've installed from it (ITV) is harmless, but you can get/install the add-on from one of their mirrors without installing the repo.

Fiddling with cache settings is almost always bad and unnecessary. Unless your network or NAS/server are rubbish (in which case; fix the media source before blaming the playback device) there is no need to change something.

If you want to cheat installation and the SD card is a decent size you can just stop kodi and rename .kodi to .kodi-old and restart. I'm mostly interested in a clean system because a known state eliminates variables, and because anything we showcase upstream to Kodi or PVR add-on developers will only start with them asking for the same thing.

I had a brief look at the logs but won't look further because your install looks very messy. There are remnants of an older OE install present. There are some unusual (and I suspect detrimental) changes to advancedsettings.xml. There is also a pirate add-on repo installed which breaches this forum's conditions for providing support.

Take a backup so you can selectively restore anything of particular importance (DB files etc.) at a later date, then do a clean installation using 7.95.1, and then if there is still a problem with DVBLink, post some clean debug log files.

please share the entire debug log file, not just the bits you think are important.

If you follow instructions on the Raspberry Pi Foundation website to mount the CM3's eMMC device to Windows our USB-SD creator app can be used to write the "Slice (CM3)" image directly to the eMMC volume. I've no idea how eMMC mounting is done via Mac or Linux, but assuming there is a process the native USB-SD creator apps for Mac/Linux should work fine too. Then just boot the Slice and it will format/prep things as required - it's exactly the same installer routine as an RPi3 for those that have done it. From chat with Gordon some other funky things like booting Slice (CM3) directly from the internal HDD should be possible, as it's connected via USB so Slice (CM3) has the same "can boot from USB" capabilities as RPi3, but until I have some time to fiddle around and experiment there are no written instructions with pretty screenshots.

debug Kodi and kernel logs pls

7.95.1 reverts to DRI2 as the default, so should resolve this

32-bit OS support was dropped after OE 5.x, so there are no official builds you can install.

I can tell you how it's done, but not how to do it. Kodi can be configured to map a remote button to execute a script, to control whatever you need on the GPIO side .. see List of built-in functions - Official Kodi Wiki. You can install the Raspberry Pi Tools add-on to gain python tools for GPIO etc.

AV things on Amlogic <7.95.1 aren't in great shape. Test again with 7.95.1
