Possible for someone to objectively enumerate the difference between this and coreelec so that users can make an informed decision?

Will the arm version of the java addon work with the Amlogic 912 boxes?
-
I've been trying to install squeezelite on libreelec krypton on an amlogic s905/912 box with the sole objective of being able to use the same box for kodi as well as a client for LMS. try as hard as I may I'm unable to get it to work. Any straightforward step by step guide?
There's a squeezebox kodi add on that I'm aware of but I cant get it working.
Highly appreciate any pointers, thanks!

Because of the nature of these community releases and both myself and afl1 wanting to give you the latest version of Kodi and the related binary-addons...
Which addons are you referring to in this?

Thanks. Worked
Btw the Blu-ray menu for uhd blurays work great
By Blu Ray menu you mean you are playing a blu ray disc or rip? Does it work for UHD as well as regular BDs? And in case you mean discs, what are you using, an external blu ray drive?

Please check the motherboard specification what is supported on the HDMI port. The xrandr output let me the assume there is an internal DP-HDMI converter.
Does your external DP-HDMI converter support 4k60p?
This MB - ASRock > J3455-ITX
Spec says - "Supports HDMI with max. resolution up to 4K x 2K (4096x2160) @ 60Hz"
DVI spec however says only max 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz. There is no DP (display port) on this board. I meant DVI and wrote DP. Sorry!
However I am able to manually select 3840x2160p @ 30 Hz on DVI port despite spec saying otherwise?!?? And even 59.94 after sending out the command as above.

Are you sure using a HDMI 2.0 port on the TV and have it configured for HDMI 2.0?
I also had to make sure "full uhd color" was turned on on the input on my tv for this to work.
My TV is a Sony 43X8300D. All inputs are supposed to be 4k60p. With an Amlogic box I get 4k60p too.
First things first - am I supposed to get 4k60p output with the DP port using a DP-HDMI cable? Or can I get it right out of the HDMI port on the 3455?
I tried using the commands by connecting the HDMI port, I can see the new 59.94 option in the list but there is no display if I select it.
With the display port I am able to select the 59.94 Hz option, but like I said, I can't sustain it after a reboot.
Following is what I get when using the HDMI port

When I manually issue the 3 commands, it takes a very long time but finally the resolution in settings shows as 3840x2160 and 59.94 Hz.
Now I have added the 3 lines to autostart but the system starts and acquires 3840x2160 and 30 Hz and the 59.94 is no longer in the list to choose from.
What could be wrong?

Amazon prime video works, no 'wrong' (incompatible) updates are shown, no crashes, perfect.
How does one install amazon prime? I get a dependencies error when trying to install. Do I need to install java separately or something?

@ChimeyJimmey As above, a new build will be pushed later tonight that will auto update itself in the future and include Gendos patch for inputstream.adaptive, I also don't own an S912 device so I don't really wan't to put something out there that I can't personally debug and test, sorry.
Thanks for the great work! Let me know if you want me to send you a 912 box.

Just curious... Why are you using manual NFS mounts, when you can also use Kodi's internal GUI for selecting NFS sources?
I make several changes to my server and my various LE boxes. After that, sometimes I have to start back from scratch adding all the numerous shares to each of the boxes. Quite a pain. Here I just connect from my PC and change the IP address in the autostart file and I'm done. Plus all boxes download back to the server too. So I thought might as well have all shares mounted rather than manually adding each and every time.
Attached the full log. It was too large, hence the snippet. Have zipped it. kodi.zip

My content sits on an unraid server. The LE box mounts these shares on startup using an autostart file (NFS, not SMB) The command syntax is as below
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.100:/mnt/user/Movies /storage/movies -o nolock; \
When I click on a movie in my library the box just freezes and then plays the movie after nearly a minute. I can go into file manager, browse to the location of the movie and play it from there, it plays in an instant.
Anything changed with the way shares are mounted or why would this be?

No one can help?

Yup, thats what I meant. I dont mind that logo, I just wanted a custom pic in place of the LE one. That worked, thanks!
Btw would you know where to put in a boot parameter like quiet/ morequiet to hide the version info on the wallpaper at boot?
I used the custom image while I was booting from my SD card. But ever since I did an 'installtointernal' it has reverted back to the stock libreelec wallpaper. Anyway to reverse this?
EDIT: Never mind, figured it out. Looks like the installtointernal does not copy all the files from system.

Hi, I'm rather new to compiling from source but it seems very interesting in terms of the customizations possible. I was able to download the packages from github and make a small mod, compile and have successful working update files. But I had very precise instructions about the mod to be performed.
So I looked around but could not get answers to some specific questions that I have in my mind:
1. How do I compile LE so that it installs an addon? Where do I place the addon? Any other files to modify?
2. How do I preset some files and settings, for eg. I want guisettings.xml to be custom and also lets say I want to set HDMI video output and HDMI audio output and not any other.
3. How do I try and install drivers, lets say for an unsupported wifi chip? And maybe remove for those I do not care about?
Appreciate any help!

Can I just install the addon and expect working blu ray?

How do I tell if HDR is working? I have a S905X box connected to a HDR Sony TV, played a HDR test clip (Life of Pi) and the picture seems ok.
So also brings me to ask - what happens if you try and play a HDR clip and the box is not able to render HDR? How would I know?
-
Sometimes when LE starts, the screen goes blank for a second and then the main page reloads (kodi crashes and restarts?) Its not always, but I think it happens either after I disconnect power to the box (Amlogic 905X) or after I connect to another location. Previously I was running similar configuration on a generic build and it used to happen at that time also. If there is some rogue addon or configuration issue, please help me identify! Thanks in advance.
