Great news.
Do us testers just wait for Update Zip or do we have to do a fresh install on top of Dev Build already installed.
For people wanting to test 4K H265 Video files and more , I use an addon called Video Test Files which is in
Mafarricos Repo. Link: Google URL Shortener
So far everything works from test videos i have tried. They all play. (Beware the streams are large and buffering due to the source)
Tested on MiniMX 1GB / 8gb
Sharp Quatron Aquos 70 inch 180p TV
It must have been lost during my latest OP update. It's back now.
Thank you for considering a donation!
Drink sent and one from me as well.
Dont drive afterwards. 
kszaq what happened to Your Drink link ?
My 70 year old friend i flashed your build on has left a drink for you.
System partition readable, should be safe to flash on internal.
Great work. 
Really fast box with this Version. Sandisk Extreme SD card 16gb used for this box.
I cant tell it is running off the card speedwise. Quite amazing.
You have to exectute commands I posted in Code bracket if you want to make sure that internal memory is visible to LE kernel.

I installed SD card Version. Toothpick method it went into factory recovery screen. Chose reboot and the box booted into
LibreELEC after that.
All working really fast.
Pressing power button on remote does a clean full power off.
Choosing Suspend from my skin menu Does a clean power off as well.
Choosing reboot works.
No Suspend.
I SSH into box and issued system command and received the above.
I'm not sure if system is the command after logging in is what you meant. If so something is not right.

Just had a friend drop off an all black MXQ s805 for me to show him how to flash
LibreELEC.
I am not going to do it as i am not sure about the 8GB eMMC FLASH instead
of NAND in this box. I haven't seen this before in All Black MXQ's
Is it safe to flash. I'm not sure eMMC is supported in your builds ??
I will wait before doing it.
Cheers.
I do understand the frustration, I know how many clones I personally encountered with MXq boxes and its rediculas. I really have not seen anyone get an Android box LCD to work, that is why I wondered if anyone had on anthing. I know its a ton of work and I would never actually expect it or even ask the developers to do it. If anyone ever gets any displays working let me know. I know one person that got it all working on the M10 but will not share as he is in sales - *** URL Removed *** he has it all working on Openelec but would not share the info, I thought about just buying another box to figure it all out for the community, that is the last resort I guess as I already have a wack load of boxes. Thank you again
Try below links from people who know lcd control and they are opensource people.
I cant help you with this but do let everyone know how you went.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, I was not being rude asking for help, thanks for showing what post number I posted before, that helps. I was asking for advice from anyone that knew anything about lcd, in my original post I did not ask for possibly a generic lcd.conf I was not sure if anyone had a working LCD.conf for any sort of android box I could look at. Ill look into the Android firmware again as I did before asking to see if I missed anything. Once I figure it out I will post in so it can help others. Just like I posted all my custom roms over at MBox forums.... Thanks again for the help
Not a problem. Sorry if i sounded a bit hard. It is just that the s805 chip is ending up in so many casings , boards and now with LED screens versions it is another variable to get working that is frankly not worth spending time on.
"Development Time" spent on getting the box stable and quality playback is what what it's all about.
You might want to head over to the MXQ s805 clone forum where most of us have come from to see what we have been through.

Been searching high and low with not a lot of luck. Is there a generic LCD.conf used for android boxes with LibreElec, I Have a T8 Plus, World TiVi s805 like an mxq, and an M10 all with displays, I can not get any to work. Any advice would be great.Thank you
Duplicating the same issue in this forum again and again is not going to solve it for you. #394
Your boxes have LCD displays which are activated via the code written in your Chinese Android Firmware.
What makes the Displays work will be governed by the Firmware. You have 3 different boxes and dont think the Android Firmware
will be the same for all of them.
We have had enough trouble with the Blue Light / Red light (all black MXQ's)coming on staying on etc due to different boards, U-Boot , Device Tree on Factory Android Firmware.
You may just have to live with it.
My advice is dont touch anything with LCD screens unless you can deal with Linux Builds not showing Displays properly.
Good luck with it.
[hr]Be interesting to see your advanced xml code just to see if there's anything in it that might help improve my boxes playback especially web streams. Not a fan of zero cacheing just wondering if cache can be specified? BBC is solid at 720p but others like Sky news at 1080p buffer after 20 seconds or so, might be my crappy ADSL (actually the guys upstairs).
Anyway local files seem to play better with K's code.
EDIT: Found this, which answers a few questions: HOW-TO:Modify the video cache - Official Kodi Wiki
EDIT 2: And this seems to give all the Advanced XML options which is a good refernece: advancedsettings.xml - Official Kodi Wiki
I just tried UpnP instead of SMB and the UpnP is so much faster.
I'm a little confused with your setup. Is your hard drive connected to the router ?
That is how interpreted local files in your network.
Try UpnP and see what happens.
Note i can see about 75mb cached when pressing "o" on keyboard. It stays at that
number. I presume kszaq has that set in this version ? I cant confirm this.
So my cachebuffer file must only work with live streaming. Again i am only guessing.

I use Ares Wizard add-on. Its got a tweak tab which calculates your ram and then you choose suggested mb. then installs it.
I use its maintenance tab as well.
Its not one of those wizards that builds your box.
BUG: I've noticed that local vid files are being buffered which I'm sure never used to happen and I thought this might have helped minimise frame drops although the verdict is out on that. The problem is that after a pause when starting playback the first 10 to 15 seconds of the vid are skipped. On occasion when stopping playback the HDMI connections also drops. I can revive the connection by pressing play or similar.
Not a big bug! But one that is annoying any ideas what is causing this?
I just hooked up my WD Essential HD (Mains Powered) to my router/modem and used "SMB" path to test video playback.
I use Ethernet Over Power Adapter for the box.
I have no such issues at all. I paused and left a 3.9 gb movie paused for 5 minutes and hit play no issue.
I fast forwarded at x32 for 10 minutes hit play no issues.
Tried about 5 different file types as well as containers.
I cannot get it to to drop HDMI connection either.
Please note i have cachemembuffersize set to 170mb. I think kodi is set to 60mb ?
I dont know if this is why i dont have the issues.
kszaq can answer this.
Same here...Had to update my DNS ipv4 to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 but working now.
I have now gone back to my ISP Dns and it now works again.
Looks like a server issue or my ISP issue has now been resolved.
I'm not a fan of using DNS from outside of my country as it slows things down and causes issues DNS caching resolving etc.
Tried 3 different browsers. Definitely not working.
Tried with mobile phone using 3g instead of wifi same result
Not resolving. Server DNS address could not be found.
Above is the address link.
Update: I used openDNS and solved issue.
Never had this issue before with my isp dns.

Hi, i have tried the MXQ image, and all works OK.
Except for CEC to work bad, will disbale it via SSH, have to try that later
But the worst problem is:
When it's flashed and turned on for the first time, the LED is BLUE.
Then we turn OFF, and it stays BLUE.
Then we turn ON and it is RED.
Turn OFF again and it's BLUE.It is so onlogical, then i would prefer power OFF = NO LED
power ON = ANY LED (dont care what color).Not it just causes confusion. Is there any way to fix this?
I can check the motherboard number if u need it?
First Post.
power LED on not officially supported boxes may not work as intended (too many boards to support them with a single build)
Please explain what issues exactly tou are having with CEC.
There are settings for CEC that may help.
See Post. LibreELEC
Yeah i have and on Kodi.
I'm thinking of putting android back on and changing the CEC settings on that then flashing LibreElec back to NAND.
Would that effect LibreElec at all? Cause i know it effects the resolution on bootup from when i was playing around with previous problems.thanks for the assistance also guys
I'm not sure if you have more than 1 HDMI port into the TV ?
I guess you have tried a different one if you had one ?
Sorry if i am asking the obvious.
pigbait i have tried three different ones with no luck.
Have you tried turning CEC off on your TV ?
