**chewitt** · [service.libreelec.settings] Skinning **chewitt** April 21, 2016 at 6:11 AM

Bumpaneer: now that 6.95.2 is done I can pull the settings changes in and build you a private version with them included so you can crack on with the skinning if that would help. What build do you use for testing?

**chewitt** · Older versions? **chewitt** April 21, 2016 at 5:45 AM

DarrenHill .. sounds like the video bug that was fixed in 6.95.2 which has now been posted for download (or wait for auto-update which will be turned on in ~24 hours)

Bumpaneer .. sorry the changes were missed from the official 6.95.2 images but will go into final (now that I know something needs to be done!)

**chewitt** · Tvheadend 4.2 in repository? **chewitt** April 19, 2016 at 7:54 PM

FYI.. Tvheadend 4.2 now appears in the repo

Some variant of automount - Disable mount for internal HDDs - Ask Ubuntu should work. In LE you can't edit the embedded rules but if you create a new rule in /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/99-no-internal-drives.rules it will run last and should cancel out the earlier embedded rule as all udev rules in all udev rule files are loaded in sequence and evaluated cumulatively.

All the fun commits for retrogaming will come with LibreELEC 8.0 (Krypton) builds; alphas will start soon.

**chewitt** · How do I update to beta ? **chewitt** April 18, 2016 at 3:57 AM

Beta Plan B – LibreELEC is the reason why hitting the button doesn't work

**chewitt** · blackscreen on video playback. **chewitt** April 17, 2016 at 2:10 PM

Apparently we are missing squash: initialise error term to zero · popcornmix/xbmc@7367c17 · GitHub so this will be resolved in the next (probably final) release.

**chewitt** · Openelec user want to migrate **chewitt** April 17, 2016 at 1:54 PM

The Amlogic hardware scene is fragmented with a ton of different devices and there is patchy upstream Linux support from Amlogic (who focuses on Android) so "it boots and can run Kodi" is not always an indication of "will run Kodi really well" and we care deeply about doing things well. There is also the piracy problem. There are "MX" boxes and there are 100+ knock-offs of MX boxes and I'd guess about 99% of the MX boxes in circulation have not paid licensing fees to Dolby etc. and the Chinese manufacturers churning clones out in volume are the same folk who will helpfully pre-install OpenELEC with 100+ "free streaming" plugins and sell them in bulk to the eBay sellers. It's really a shame as we work closely with Alex on many other things; but the piracy issues around a general purpose Amlogic project are a barrier to moving things forwards. LibreELEC will be happy to work with reputable box manufacturers with properly licensed and supported Amlogic-based products, but those are a minority..

Credit goes to kszaq for submitting the changes to build these properly

**chewitt** · Chromium? **chewitt** April 17, 2016 at 8:00 AM

Nailig: If you looked in settings you'd have found options to load flash and widevine, but I guess this just proves a conversation I had in team chat the other night about users not noticing the options available. In future versions we'll probably remove the options and pre-embed everything.

Quote from ute

Just curious why no Rpi ? it was the same for OE as well

Chromium requires Xorg so it's only available on Generic.

**chewitt** · LibreELEC 7.0 (Jarvis) release **chewitt** April 15, 2016 at 3:08 AM

I stopped work on a Jarvis build due to lack of time but I will pick things up again once we have a final release out. At the moment Jarvis is the end of the road for AppleTV as Krypton contains major video changes that mean we can't just patch CrystalHD support back into Kodi. There are plans for Sam (OSMC) and myself to jointly look at what's required for Krypton, but it will be a lot of work, so no promises.

NB: The OE 6.0.1 build here: OpenELEC (unofficial) Kodi Isengard builds for AppleTV has Isengard code and plays about 500% better than the old 4.2.1 image.

nickr .. Chromium (for Generic builds) was pushed to the repo last night

**chewitt** · WeTek Play NanD-Installation **chewitt** April 13, 2016 at 10:12 AM

Changes were committed to build nand-install images in the past couple of days so this should be 'solved' when 6.95.1 ships, soon.

**chewitt** · HTPC Wifi not working **chewitt** April 13, 2016 at 10:11 AM

Can you run "lspci -nn | paste" and share the URL so we can see the PCI device ID's. The bcma driver in the kernel needs patching to remove the ID so that it becomes unsupported and thus defaults to using wl. It might not make the next build (first beta) but should be included fairly soon.

Acestream is frequently found in banned repos but the add-on itself is not on the banned list.

**chewitt** · PIA not working **chewitt** April 10, 2016 at 4:38 AM

The issue with the addon looks like it's not packed (zipped) correctly .. but this really isn't the forum for figuring out which one of 300+ untested commits added to the OE beta 24-hours before release broke support for something.

Create one thread per issue in future please.
