    Cant seem to find the Update folder in the File Manager, and I even connected with Putty and i dont find the Update folder, what is the exact location? and maybe i need to make a new folder name it Update and then put it? if so where

    Weird.
    Do a hard reset from LE Settings.
    Then look for it. It should be there . /storage/.update
    You should see .smb then .ssh followed by .update


    Yep, Nexbox A95x has two variants, s905 and s905x - both principally have the same model name, but there is not so readily advertised model name extension B7N for the s905x variant...


    Okay ! S905X and 1gb ram.
    When he tried without a device tree you said the box went into factory recovery ?
    Now he puts the device tree and it gets stuck Nexbox Boot animation ?
    I am a little worried about the image not been burned properly to SD Card.
    As far as i can tell he used the right device tree.
    And the fact box boots to recovery without a device tree has lost me.
    Sorry i can't help further as i don't have this box or any S905X


    Tried to use the LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator.Win32 with the LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0.2.009
    Has been done with the toothpick method but currently no LE logo just the recovery menu
    I have tried with a 2gb microSd card


    I am a Mac OS user so i cannot help you with the LE Creator Windows.
    I hope that you succeeded with the burning image to the SD Card
    Re trace your steps.


    Are you noticing that ram is being released? Like after browsing the library and playing a few videos ram is released when idle?

    On the Pi even after a few weeks my usage would be at 20% when idle, with 008 after 30 days i had used up 70% ram on my 2gb box.

    Ram is definitely being released. Not so much in idle. I don't quite know exactly when it is released but it is definitely after playing videos
    and flicking around the GUI.
    As an example during previous versions i would browse my library and that caused over 200mb of ram to be used and it would never be released.
    Now i would use barely 20mb and it will recover in stages.
    It is nowhere near as good as the s805 but definitely the only version that has truly been an improvement for the s905 .
    I don't leave my boxes on after i use them so others will have to report on their experience.
    I've got it down to 250mb available and now back up to 330mb available and it has been on all day.
    This is on an A95X S905 1GB / 8gb


    The reason i posted here is because 009 did that error from day 1, while 008 was fine for about 2 weeks until the error came.
    Just afraid now the update will ruin it all again, Also to update will I have to clean install it? because thats just not worth it lol spent all day recovering all the addons for my parants
    Where is that Update folder btw? how can I put the files there If im using libre from SD card

    Can i do it in the file manager? one side have a USB drive with the img and on right side find that Update folder?

    Too bad it cant update like OpenELEC could by just clicking a button in kodi lol

    Do a Backup of your LE. From LE Settings create a system backup. Onto a USB.
    Now just put the .009 into Update folder (Yes you can use File Manager) and reboot.
    It will update to .009

    So i got a kingstone 8gb microsd HC and bought an adapter, 008 with the dtb.img and it works perfectly fine, rebooted like 15 times just to see if it will come with that error and nothing.
    MY only issue now is that the remote that came with the box, the Return button doesnt work, I have a T3 remote that i bought and it does work just fine. is there a way to fix the original remote tho?
    LibreELEC boots extremely fast now compared to the USB drive, so i guess putting it on the eMMc will boot even faster?
    How can i access the folders on the box with LibreELEC? the Android/data folder for example

    Can you please update to #1  
    Report back.


    I cant try it with sdcard because i have no way to connect it to my pc.
    I have no idea what else to try, Only thing left is to install it on the eMMc

    Invest in a USB SD card reader so as to use it on your PC.
    Don't install to internal memory until you have a working SD Card version of LE with a working device tree.
    It is only my advice and my opinion. :)


    Can you please try a next build, I no longer have no video on my side: 2016-11-14


    Cheers kszaq
    This Dev Build has improved results except for the Grand Budapest file.
    It seems that there is a failure to seek and find the 10 minutes forward. I noticed 2 minutes sometimes 3 minutes or 5 minutes then eventually a freeze of video and audio. I stop the movie and start it again and it plays fine without having to re boot as before. Again i jump forward and same issues for this particular movie. I then played other movies from my library and they play fine without having to reboot.
    Log attached.

    For those who love testing new builds I have uploaded one with the following changes:


    Download from: 2016-11-13
    You have to use device tree from 7.0.2.009 bulid if you update from 7.0.2.008 or older.

    Updated on my A95X S905 1gb/8gb previously on .009
    I have playback issues with movie files on my network which were not present before. (SMB Network ethernet into box)
    I activated debug logging and re booted box to get logs.
    I had trouble opening movies with timeouts movie not found but eventually i was able to open files.
    I played files and after i hit seek/forward on remote control wheel i started having playback issues.
    Only a reboot allowed me to play movies properly again but the same issue if i jump seek on remote.
    Frozen picture with audio still progressing. I then stopped the grand budapest hotel (see logs) and opened another movie on my network
    which played with video slow jumping frames and audio was good. Stopped that movie and played another with the same issues.
    See log from A95x s905. (Same issues with MiniMx S905 2gb/16gb) .009 device tree used to update again but that did not fix.

    EDIT :Went back to .009 on my MiniMx 2gb/16gb with no issues playing same files and using seek/forward jump.
