Alex (sukovalex/kerber) was creating OE builds for some Amlogic (not Amilog) based boxes in the past (and maybe LE builds in the near-future) and has private access to some reverse engineered DVB driver code that is not currently available in any LE builds, but once the driver code has evolved further the code should be made public (under GPL) and we can maybe include support. There are no guarantees on when that will happen.

Generally LE (and OE before) supports a range of DVB devices; particularly USB devices that could be used on a variety of platforms (not just Amlogic) but there are many DVB devices from many vendors in circulation (more than we can keep track of) so we cannot give a more specific answer on support unless you tell us the specific chipset that's inside a specific box.

NB: There are at least 30+ far-east manufacturers selling interpretations of "mini M8S" boxes (all racing each other to cut-corners and be cheapest) so even if you find people who recently loaded LE on an mM8S box there is no guarantee of how it will perform on yours. Overall it's probably still better than Android but don't expect perfection.

Popt is not currently built/used by anything else in the build-system so you will need to create a popt package and add this as a dependency to the shairport-sync package. We also use LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL, but that's probably a minor difference.

The OpenVPN binary is already embedded, so there is nothing to install.

I'm wondering what LE build you're using? because in a standard LE 7.0 or 8.0 build you would need to download pvr.hts (it is not pre-embedded) and the add-on files would be in /storage/.kodi/addons

OE's 7.x beta and LE's released 7.x builds are technically very similar so all should just work. Take a backup in OE and move it off-box first, to be safe, then update.

This thread is now locked to prevent you from wasting more of the limited personal time we have to expend on user support. We will use the seconds saved on someone else who can follow basic instructions. Good luck.

If we appear rude it's because we find people who ask for help and then refuse to provide information are a waste of our time, which is rude. If you are confident there is nothing in log files with extra debugging enabled, we are confident there is no further help we can provide. Issue closed.

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
