    MxMax S905 2G/16G (with OTG)
    Rare Box but i will report as it is an S905 Chip.

    LE SD Card 7.0.3.012g Temp Sensor Enabled Version

    No Freezes at all. Reboots Power On/Off

    That's it i have no more s905 boxes to test.

    Apart from the Nexbox A95x S905 1g/8g which i mention above,
    The rest of my s905 boxes all work with Temp Sensor ENABLED.

    So, I would really like to help/test, too, but when I install one
    of the newer versions with temp enabled and it fails again ...
    how do I access the box and get it running again or do I have
    to do a complete new installation?

    Use SD Card Versions. Make a fresh g version.

    Nexbox A95X S905 1gb/8gb
    LE Internal 7.0.3.012g Temp Enabled Version

    Random Freezes on Reboot.
    Because these boxes power off but don't power back on from remote with LE,
    i could only test with reboot.
    Powering on cold boot seems to not freeze.
    I've only tried 8 times with no freezes on cold boot.
    So i am staying on Temp Enabled Versions from here on to see what changes.


    7.0.3.012f had no changes that could cause fixing temperature sensor, not does 7.0.3.012g. It's a pure coincidence that suddenly it started to work for you.

    MiniMx 2g/16g S905 Non Branded Beelink
    LE Internal 7.0.3.012g Non Temp Disabled

    No Freezes 20 re boots.
    Update: Re Boots , Backups, Hard resets , Power on/off .
    Cannot get a Freeze. 2 days over 50 power offs.

    Thanks kszaq. I will keep testing with non temp disabled with my s905 boxes and keep it in this thread.
    See what others report here as well. :)


    with the "g" build, the boot issues have returned. Reverted back to"f" for now.

    The below changelog to version "g" causing bootup freeze again ???
    Just commenting to keep track on what this accidental fix of boot freeze in version "f" is contributed to.

    • 7.0.3.012g:
    • more fixes to non-working Broadcom BT
    • added a patch from meijjaa to fix non-working AP6212A BT
    • media_build drivers updated to latest upstream version (2017-01-22)
    • added an udev rule for QCA WiFi to solve non-working WiFi on boot and not break it for others
    • last try of Kodi vq patch amendment

    7.0.3.012f Internal Install
    gxl_p212_2g.dtb

    TX5 Pro with Qualcomm QCA9377

    Sorry to report this Update has caused 100% Toggle required to start Wifi.
    Whilst 7.0.3.012e required toggle only 1 out of 5 reboots to hook up.
    Bluetooth works.
    Log:

    7.0.3.012g

    TX5 Pro S905x with Qualcomm QCA9377

    Fixed issues from above "f" Version.

    I get Simultaneous Ethernet/Wifi on my Network But i don't get freezes or Hangs doing SpeedTest Check as others with Aigale might get.
    Fing App on my Phone sees box has 2 IP addresses on my network.
    Kodi system info only shows Ethernet IP address when wifi is also connected simultantaneously.
    Don't waste your time on this kszaq because turning off Wifi when using Ethernet is not too hard to remember. ;)
    Bluetooth Works.

    LE Internal 7.0.3.012f

    kszaq I updated to f version NOT THE VERSION WITH TEMP DISABLED.
    Because i was reading #670 wkchick
    I have working Bluetooth and instant wifi hook up no toggling.

    I am not sure but i have done 35 Re-Boots and Power off/on with this Temp Sensor ENABLED Version and
    I cannot get a Freeze.

    It would be great for other members with s905 Chip boxes to try the standard "F" version in comparing results.

    Edit: Please report all version 12 alphabet releases that work or do not work on s905 chip boxes. I don't want to start another thread.

    Luckily H.264 10bit is rare. It's also clear that this is a hardware limitation.

    Have seen H.265 10bit Never come across H264 10bit
    [hr]


    The problem is, although Hi10p has always been in the H264 specs, since no one uses it in the commercial space, hardware manufacturers never implemented it.
    Why would they build hardware specs no one uses?

    H264 Hi10p is to my understanding mostly used for anime. Or at least some subbing groupe used it.
    Why? because it reduces encoding banding , and anime encoding is very prone to banding.

    But since these applications are not commercial ones or are even labeled as illegal ones, why would they now create hardware decoding for that purpose?

    Well done. :)


    kostaman Thank you for the log. Can you also paste a result of systemctl status brcmfmac_sdio-firmware-aml | paste


    Not my strong point. I presume paste is what i do in SSH . Anyway i give you both.

    I believe the update channel is pertains to the mainstream LibreElec builds, not this port specifically for Amlogic devices (for which there is no update channel available). This section should be left at it's defaults, since it is not intended for these builds

    :huh: ;)
