Could anyone with an Slice3 sanity check Index of /test/slice/ LE 9.2.8 ?

Running fine for me. I'm not sure how to test widevine, since I'm not really sure if I use that or not .

Cheers

Even if I didn't get the change right it shouldn't result in major issues but better keep an eye on the RTC and report back if something's off there (will probably only be noticable if the Slice isn't connected to a network, otherwise time is synced with NTP).

9.2.0 working OK on my CM3. I'm ignorant on RTC and NTPs: In my network settings, NTP servers are blank but so far the time has been OK.

LE 9.2 Beta 1, would be nice if we could get some Slice 1/3 feedback

All appears good on CM3.

Thanks

For me, too: the testing was OK with everything I tested.

is to removed the power plug from the Slice or the 'wall wart' from the wall. If it does not work first time, power down again and remove power.

Thanks - on a hunch, I had actually tried that before installing the respin ...and that cured the green LED.

Quote from CvH

Sadly we had to respin our images due a bug upstream, so pls test again (sry)

Installed respin and it is working OK. Thanks again.

Cheers!

Actually on LE 9.0.2 I have noticed a "bug": there is a single green LED light on the left side that is on all of the time. LEDs function as expected (like pause, fast forward, etc) but after about one second the green LED comes back on.

Cheers

LE9.0.2 builds (Kodi18.2) are ready for testing, could you pls test if it starts/works (we are sadly low at slice hw so we can't properly test it)

No problems found on the CM3+ Slice.

Thank you so much.

okichatan · CM3+ Support for Slice Boxes okichatan March 21, 2019 at 11:16 AM

OK - I finally got my CM3+! (8GB was all that was in stock at the retailer I used) Installed easily and was able to follow instructions to install the CM3 slice version on the eMMC. I probably could have backed up my settings, libraries, add-ons, etc. but in my case it was easy enough to just start from scratch.

Now for the heatsink: Locally, I found a small, fairly lightweight, copper heat sink (20x20x6 mm). With just that guy, the max temp (gputemp / cputemp) I’ve reached by just playing videos is about 52°C. While playing video AND updating a large library over the LAN, the temp leveled out at 60°C.

From what I read at the pi site: “...the CM3+ has better thermal behaviour under load. It has more thermal mass and can draw heat away from the processor faster than CM3. … longer sustained operation under heavy load before the processor hits 80°C and begins to reduce its clock speed.”

My 52-60°C seems like a reasonable enough range?

okichatan · CM3+ Support for Slice Boxes okichatan February 9, 2019 at 6:00 AM

Two questions before I take a plunge from someone who still has the CM1:

1) CM3+ eMMC Flash size: Which one is needed or best?

2) Heat Sink ? I remember lots of discussions and trials on the now-defunct slice forum and in this forum. How hard will this be to figure out or is there a good, safe solution ?

Thanks!

Working on my Slice (CM1).

okichatan · Kodi 18.0 Update for Slice. okichatan December 27, 2018 at 11:48 AM

Updated my Slice (CM1) from 8.90.008 and everything seems to be working great.

Happy New Year!

okichatan · Kodi 18.0 Update for Slice. okichatan November 27, 2018 at 10:52 AM

Installed 8.90.008 (upgrade from V17) and most everything seems OK.

My problems FYI:

1) My Harmony 650 Remote “guide” button now causes a PVR error, not the “Context Menu” like before. I'll need to research this more. (EDIT: installed/used Keymap app to fix the button)

2) Because I upgraded from V17 (or I goofed something else up) my library didn't get retained. So I just rescanned my library.

Thanks for keep this old Slice (CM1) up and running!
