  • ProjectM for LibreELEC (Nexus) 11 Beta2 (Generic) ?

    Quote from chewitt

    Have you removed the previously downloaded .zip from /storage/.kodi/addons/packages? .. because Kodi will reinstall using the already downloaded zip instead of redownloading if the file exists (deleting the add-on and settings via the GUI is not enough). The log snippet looks like it's trying to use something built for Xorg (needs OpenGL) wheras the GBM version would use GLES libs.

    You sir are a life-saver!

    I thought removing it from GUI was enough, I searched how to remove addon cache but could not find anything.
    Removed projectm from GUI, removed zip file from packages folder and now it's working!

    Thanks ever so much!

  • ProjectM for LibreELEC (Nexus) 11 Beta2 (Generic) ?

    Hey all, just updated my Libreelec to 12 nighty (LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-12.0-nightly-20231218-865d980.img.gz).

    I see projectm and installed it, however it does not run.

    Running latest nightly on a X64 machine, with a Radeon 6900XT graphics card.

    Using the legacy nightlies it's working.
    Deleted the addon and settings, went to non-legacy, installed projectm 20.2.0.1, but it's not working.

    Log says this:

  • NFS issue with share from Debian kernel 6.x

    Good to hear your issues are solved.

    Mine are not, but to be honest I'm not that capable to dig in the kernel stuff.

    My box is connected wired, playing from SMB works flawless.

    So for now I moved from NFS to SMB.

  • NFS issue with share from Debian kernel 6.x

    Hey everyone,

    Having strange issues with playback recently.

    I have a HTPC (Generic), with latest stable LibreElec (LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-11.0.1.img.gz), running fine and all.

    Using legacy since I do not care about HDR and I love projectM for visualization :)

    Running a NAS with OpenMediaVault 6 and last week updated kernel from 5.`19 to 6.0.

    Now after this, playback issues occurred on LibrElec.

    My shares are NFS and this has been working flawless.

    But now, browsing is ok, playback seems fine, but when skipping in a movie, the video starts to stutter and hangs.

    I have my shares on the NAS mounted like this:

    Client: 192.168.1.0/24
    args: no_subtree_check, rw, secure, sync

    Tried both NFS v3 and v4, by setting this in Libreelec settings.

    Going back to kernel 5.19 did erase the issue, but of course I'd like to know what causes it and if this can be debugged/fixed.

    Any help please? Or what logs to share?

    Thanks!

  • No screen after GPU upgrade

    Quote from heitbaum

    Fietspomp - the LE11 Generic has moved to using GBM - aligning with the other LibreELEC images so Hyperion does not work.

    The X11 LE11 can be compiled:

    PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 DEVICE=Generic-legacy make image

    *Note: I have not tested Hyperion with this.

    I was aware that x11 was not there anymore, I'll try later to compile LE11 myself but I'm not a big hero with that stuff to be honest.

    However I see in the docs that it can be build using some simple docker commands, I'll try this during the weekend.

    Thanks!


    However, is there no option to make the gpu work with LE10?

  • No screen after GPU upgrade

    Quote from mglae

    You did not provide the output of dmesg/journalctl.

    I honestly thought the Xorg logfile would be enough, seems to me this is causing the issue.

    Attached the journalctl output.

    If anything else is required, let me know.

    I'll go and try the latest LE11 nightly now.

    See if I get an image with that.

    Edit:

    Using the latest le11 nightly it works. However it breaks my Hyperion so that's not an option.. is there any solution to make this gpu work under LE10?

  • No screen after GPU upgrade

    Quote from CvH

    can you try a nightly build ? likewise the drivers are too old at LE10

    Hi, just tried build LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-10.0-nightly-20220925-2ec353e.img.gz, same story unfortunately!

    No I don't want to update to LE11 just yet, since it's not stable.

    Also I believe Hyperion.ng doesn't work (yet?) under LE11....

    Any other options?

    Otherwise I can use the on-board HDMI output for LE and the AMD GPU for Windows, but that's a bit of a hassle and the WAF will be lower :cry:

  • No screen after GPU upgrade

    Hi all,

    My HTPC has got a new GPU, I went from a Nvidia 1080 TI to a AMD 6900 XT.

    Using Libreelec latest stable version.

    I have my pc using dual-boot to Windows 10, in there it works perfect.

    But going to Libreelec, I get no image at all.

    Here is my xorg log:

    Is there anybody who can help me with this? Thanks!

  • List of S905/S905X Boxes that work with kszaq's build

    Hi all, this is my box now, a Z69 with 3/32 gig and a S905X chip.

    Code
    Z69 Android 7.1 TV Box Amlogic S905X Cortex A5 3Penta-Core 3GB 32GB Bluetooth Wifi 2.4G Set Top Box 4K HD Smart Media Player


    You can find it on the familiar Chinese sites, I wont post the link :)


    Box is running fine with LE, latest 8.1.10 build, running from internal memory.

    Runs with 3gb dtb.img file from kszaq.

    CEC works fine.


    WIFI not tested, using wired.

    No Giga ethernet unfortunately.

  • [8.0.2e] LibreELEC 8.0 for S905/S905X

    Quote from woodg8

    Thanks, I'll give that a try. I've never done this before so I don't suppose you could PM me with a step by step guide on exactly how its done? I don't want to brick the box! Once I do it once, I'll be able to do it easy any other time

    It's really simple, just do the steps as I said above:

    Download the firmware, burn it to a USB or SD using Rufus (Google for Rufus software)

    Place an empty update.zip on the usb or sd card.

    Place the correct device tree on the usb or sd card ( the 3gig I mentioned)

    Start your z69, go to apps, insert usb or sgo to update/backup.

    Select the update.zip.

    After this press "update"

    Wait a few minutes, box will reboot and Libreelec will be installed!

    Keep the USB or SD inside to the box will boot Libreelec when you restart it!

  • [8.0.2e] LibreELEC 8.0 for S905/S905X

    Quote from woodg8

    I purchased a "3gb ram s905x" from Geekbuying (Z69 Android 6.0 3GB/32GB 4K UHD Smart TV BOX) but its stuttering a lot when I try any video.


    How do I install librelec onto this box? I'm not sure which version to install

    Hi, I've got the same and managed to get it working today!

    I used an SD card to burn the latest 8,2 image to it ( LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2-8.1.5.img.gz )

    And used the new device tree for 3gb ( gxl_p212_3g.dtb )

    Used an empty update.zip in the root of the SD, to update it with the installed update app in the Android software.

    Works like a charm!

    Wifi works as well.

    After this I installed LE to the internal system.

  • [S905] Device trees

    Quote from kszaq

    Fietspomp Please try to use this device tree: gxl_p212_3g.dtb

    You Sir, are a legend!

    I'll try it later today, hopefully it'll work!

    Will it matter which LE file I use? I've got the other box running 8.2

    Or should I use 9.0?


    EDIT:

    Holy sh*t it boots!

    Booted from USB stick using the dummy update,zip file.

    I'm so excited right now!

    Later I'll try to install on the internal, to check if it's fast.

    How can I see in LE if it's really 3g? Because apparently S905X is maximum 2g right?


    EDIT2:

    According LE it's also 3g, see the attachment:

  • [S905] Device trees

    Quote from kszaq

    Fietspomp The DTB you attached contains device trees only for 1GB and 2GB RAM. I guess you have only 2GB of RAM. It also has some unknown (to me) boards: gxl_p211 and gxl_p215. Can you tell me which device tree is used by your box? You can check it running this command in Terminal Emulator in Android: cat /proc/device-tree/amlogic-dt-id

    Hi,

    Executed the command through ADB over network, this was the response:

    Code
    C:\Windows\System32>adb shell

p212:/ $ cat /proc/device-tree/amlogic-dt-id

gxl_p212_3g

    It says 3g there tho..... Strange stuff!

    Will try to boot Armbian this afternoon.

    Tried to install TWRP through ADB, but at boot it just hangs at the S905X logo.
