No, it's something that needs to be disabled in the kernel. Hopefully linux: disable UAS on pi kernels by chewitt · Pull Request #607 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub shows no problems in milhouse builds over the next couple of days and we can merge this for v.next and backport for v7.0.3.

Sounds like a power draw issue. Powered hub is the way to go, especially if you have multiple drives.

Kodi debug log .. or there is no problem

A S905X box for the LE team.
Gerald

If the S905X manufacturers reading this thread want to make their name; some high-value technical contribution to the project and Kodi is more welcome than a few cheap box samples. Sample hardware is always welcome, but if people ever wonder why WeTek appear to get special treatment from the team it has nothing to do with money (we have no commercial relationship by mutual agreement) and everything to do with direct participartion in LE and Kodi development.

I also switched from open- to libre some weeks ago and so happy about it (stable, fast performing, memory saving) that i installed the 7.90.003 image. Here the real surprise started. My RPi3 run fast like an eagle and stable like a rock:-) Im using Israellive for TV and mostly Xstream for other Movie and Series Stuff and its real fun to use the new GUI of Kodi....all seems to work perfectly together, LibreELEC and the new Kodi Krypton. Thanks a lot for that perfect work, you made my life a bit brighter! Ill keep on reporting:-)

matze54. Thanks for the kind words, but xStream is a pirate add-on. Please be aware we refuse all support to users of pirate add-ons.

There are video "node" editing tools in the Kodi repo for doing this although none are particularly user friendly; at least I never figured it out

debug log .. or there is no problem

Unless someone wants to confess what wireless chipset(s) is/are being used (which informs us which crappy wireless driver is involved) and provide both dmesg and Kodi debug logs, none of the developers will take any interest.

The OP wants an animated splash which is supported for RPi2. Current milhouse builds use the LE "unboxing" animation instead of a static image. I forget what's required; but you are looking for "animated splash" it is not really anything to do with the bootloader.

debug log.. or there's no problem

Update to v7.90.004 when it's released (soon ish) and retest. If there are still issues submit a fresh debug log that clearly shows a system with no pirate crapware installed.

we reported the auto-repeat issue (and problem commit that caused them) to upstream Kernel devs and a fix was provided a week or so ago, so this should be resolved in v7.90.004 which is due soon-ish

Not to totally dog you or chwett but this process has to be made a lil easier if you want more people involved. I get the sense that you and chewett dont want any new devs. I hope my feeling is way off. Making some scripts up and posting them may help a lot of people get into this. I have always learned by looking at the answer and working backwards, maybe that is why scripting is something I get.

Oh, we would love more developers, but proper developers typically take a quick look at our very logical buildsystem and crack on with the thing they wanted to do. People who are not developers are the ones who struggle with the process. To be brutally honest, if people haven't got developer skills they are not the developers we want to attract.

First thing to do is create a completely stock version of LE with no changes following the instructions in the wiki. This proves the build-system works (which it does, I build images using it every day). Once you have a working stock image, there are two one-line changes to make (kernel things) and maybe one patch to find (for 304.131 on 4.7 kernel) and the work is done. No need for scripts.

I'd recommend experimenting with the current alpha builds for two reasons: a) there are significant changes that affect Intel since Helix (OE 6.0.x) and there's a chance the issue is already resolved, and b) Kodi devs moved all development to Krypton now, so if something is broken on Jarvis it will never be fixed, but on Krypton it can be reported and Kodi devs will investigate (and hopefully fix) the problem.

I can see evidence of at least 3-4 different wireless devices in dmesg output so please run those commands so we can see proper hardware details of what's on the boards. Also, which OE version is working?
