Dont know if it helps, but the ethernet port definitely used to work properly when I used to use the box with Coreelec and the gxm_q200_2g.dtb or 201 dtb (one of the 2)

Hello! Can someone pls help

Oops, sorry about that. Please see the new log as below.

Also, there is no playback post seeking in 4K HDR video. Not solved yet?

I am using a Tanix T95 ZMax S912 with the latest nightly. Everything works except the ethernet. I am using the qxm 201 dtb.

If I use the qxm 200 then I get a Failed to start ethmactool-config.service at the bootsplash screen and I cant even start the Wired Networks option in LE settings.

Any suggestions? Would have liked to have gbit lan connection.

Going quite crazy with this. I have set music playback to crossfade tracks with an overlap of 8 seconds. But there is an audio drop out randomly, just before the 8 sec crossover point, so maybe at around 10-11 sec before the first track is set to end. This is also not very predictable. Happens sometimes and doesnt on some other ocassions.

In the debug log attached, the audio drop out did indeed occur towards the end of the session when the track changed.

Please help

Hi I installed libreelec on the T95Z max S912 box but cant get remote to work. Anyone has a working remote.conf file for this? And it has to be placed in the configuration directory, right?

Dont know if it matters, but I have another box with coreelec installed on it and also the remote.conf file for it. While that works on Coreelec, I tried copying it on the LE system but that doesnt work.

I used this command to create the swap file, and set the swap size to 2000, which is 2 gigs I suppose

cp /etc/swap.conf /storage/.config

and then merely deleted the swap.conf from .config to disable swap file

Hi, I created the swap file. And then deleted the file. But my sd card is still smaller in size as much as the swap size chosen, how do I reclaim the space now that swap file is deleted?

extremeaudio what happens if you force ethernet to 100-BaseT speeds?

how do I do that ?

btw: on your image , HEVC 4k video stutters like crazy on my box.

Code

[ 8.232771] meson8b-dwmac c9410000.ethernet eth0: no phy at addr -1
[ 8.232799] meson8b-dwmac c9410000.ethernet eth0: stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19)

Can you repeat the Q201 test with LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-9.80.0-box.img.gz

Also check the Q200 device-tree, and see if any other GXM dtb files get further (VIM2, etc.). The same AP trick should work if no Ethernet.

Q200 gives no mac address error and Vim2 didnt work too well either.

With 201 now I cant connect hotspot, but wifi connects however still no ethernet but now I dont get the no mac address error.

dmesg output = hastebin

Can see the wifi networks but cant connect over wifi either. It gives a message Network Error: Input/output error

EDIT: Never mind, of all the things that worked and never did seem to have been inverted Used wireless tethering to ssh into the box.

output of dmesg here - hastebin

The dtb files from Amlogic legacy/vendor kernels are not compatible with the mainline kernel (there are 3-5 years of evolution between them and many different drivers) .. but if you name the specific dtb that works we can see if anything stands out.

I used to boot using kszaq's builds and the dtb used to be gxm201_1g_2GB

The network used to work fine back in the day when i used to install the old versions of libreelec and the same box boots with current coreelec dtb also. Any way to use the same dtb rather than reinvent the wheel ? Those didn't/ dont have a uenv file obviously. They just involve placing the dtb file in the system partition. Any hacks possible ?

Nothing on the above issue?? Can someone help please.

Add TimeoutSec= parameter to your mount unit, see end of systemd.mount man page.

I want to delay the start of docker. Not the mounting. You seem to be suggesting the opposite

Edit: oh sorry, you mean about the delay in boot. Cool, let me check that. Thanks

It's either going to wait until remote paths are mounted, or it's going to start without them (as it does now). Can't have it both ways.

Well the autostart route does the job of ignoring any unavailable remote mounts a lot faster than systemd and proceeds to boot kodi, thats what I meant. The systemd holds up the boot process for nearly a minute.

Anyway, what I need is to figure out some way for the portainer service to start up a little after kodi starts. Thats about it.

I share your pain I have tried several times, using diff images, followed the steps as prescribed in this forum, yet am not able to install the latest in USB or SD Card, to the point that I have bricked two boxes in the process, but I was able to recovered them through manufacturer firmware, If you are able to get this working please share your experience and how. Presently I am on Coreelec but my preference is Libreelec

I managed S912 T95 Zmax to boot with toothpick method and dtb qxm 201 using 9.8 armv8 aarch64

But now I get the message

FAILED TO START Configure eth0 mac address.

Ethernet doesnt work.
