For those coming to this thread via search,
I experienced similar problems with internet radio and was able to address them by reducing the readfactor down to 4 (default), or you could try a lower factor eg. 3
It appears that some sources are unable to fill the buffer fast enough (?)
I wanted to run Zerotier on a Pi running Libreelec so a remote device (the Pi) could access content stored in another city
The Zerotier network is "private" ie. every node must be authorised to access the network.
I found a docker image which delivers Zerotier functionality on a Raspberry Pi --> bltavares zerotier docker image
After installing the Docker addon and the above docker image, Zerotier is running BUT it will issue a new zerotier address each time Librelec reboots and this is not useable for a private Zerotier network because the new address will have to be authorised (on each reboot) ... not much use for a remote device
It turns out that -
1. There are 3 key files in the docker container which need to be "preserved" between boot sessions
- /var/lib/zerotier-one/identity.public
- /var/lib/zerotier-one/identity.secret
- /var/lib/zerotier-one/authtoken.secret
2. The container needs to "connect" to the network anew on each boot, once the above files are restored and the container has been restarted
With that understanding we can retain the same ZeroTier node address and authorisation
Additionally I have a need to mount some directories from a remote host ... so we do that after reconnecting the container to ZT
The steps are
* install the docker addon in Libreelec using the menu system
o From addons/install from repository/libreelec addons/services/docker
* log in via ssh and install the docker container
> docker pull bltavares/zerotier
then install the ZeroTier container
docker run --device=/dev/net/tun \
--net=host \
--cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
--cap-add=SYS_ADMIN \
-v /var/lib/zerotier-one:/var/lib/zerotier-one \
--restart always \
--name zerotier-one \
-d bltavares/zerotier * Now check and record the ZT node id (referred to as <node-id> later
> docker exec zerotier-one zerotier-cli info
* Join your network - and authorise this node using the tools at ZeroTier Central
> docker exec zerotier-one join <your network id>
* Then copy the 3 key files off to a new directory
> mkdir /storage/.kodi/userdata/<your_dir>
> mkdir /storage/.kodi/userdata/<your_dir>/zerotier
> TEMP=$(docker exec zerotier-one cat /var/lib/zerotier-one/identity.public);echo $TEMP > /storage/.kodi/userdata/<your_dir>/zerotier/identity.public
> TEMP=$(docker exec zerotier-one cat /var/lib/zerotier-one/identity.secret);echo $TEMP > /storage/.kodi/userdata/<your_dir>/zerotier/identity.secret
> TEMP=$(docker exec zerotier-one cat /var/lib/zerotier-one/authtoken.secret);echo $TEMP > /storage/.kodi/userdata/<your_dir>/zerotier/authtoken.secret
* Now we need to create/update the Libreelec autostart.sh
> nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh
Paste the following after existing code (add "#!/bin/sh" at the first line if this is a new file and execute chown ug+x /storage/.config/autostart.sh after saving it).
You may wish to improve this code ... I hacked this together with my limited understanding of shell scripts and I left everything really basic and simple to aid understanding (and debugging). The main thing is that it seems to work and was reasonably easy to debug
You will also need to replace the <node-id> and <network-id> values with your ids and <your-dir> with the name of the directory you created above

You can run the above code from the command line to check that it "compiles" and runs ok .... and that it doesn't make a mess. Then try a reboot to prove that ZT will automagically connect again on reboot.
* Reboot and check that we are connected back to the ZeroTier network
> reboot
Then ssh back into the machine (reboot will have logged you out of the previous session)
* Check we have the expected node id
docker exec zerotier-one zerotier-cli info
* Check there is a "ztb....." adapter listed ... and an appropriate IP address for it
ifconfig
If you have the wrong node id or there's no zt adapter you'll need to start debugging to see what's wrong

aha ... an hour or so later there's a new release ..
LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-devel-20180218031232-r28165-gb635550.tar
I've installed the new release ... and now the remote works out of the box ie. no other changes
now I see

Help 
I have a mecool M8s pro+ (s905x), which has been flashed with Magendanz firmware (specifically "update_M8S_PRO+-V0928_TVStock-20171216_OTA.zip").
The firmware update was successful.
The remote works fine in Android => both the remote transmitter and receiver are working
The remote was working with previous versions of the Leia Alpha builds (using meson)
I'm using the LE DTB -> gxl_p212_2g.dtb generated on 14-Feb-18. The box seems to boot and behave fine in all respects except the IR Remote
Now I'm trying to set the remote up using ir-keytable, but the utility cannot find a useable remote receiver

#so tried using that by setting a keytable directly eg.
ir-keytable --clear --device=/dev/input/event0 --protocol=nec --write /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps/libreelec_multi_amlogicBut this just results in a stalled process and a machine that can only be rebooted by removing the power ie. unplugging
Any advice will be gratefully received 
PS I attempted to generate & paste a log file from within LE without success ... the process kept failing, so I've manually compressed dmesg and kodi.log together and attached themlog-2018-02-18-13.25.00.zip
I have an M8S+ with a built in network adapter running kszaq's build 8.0.1b
The built in adapter works.
In my case I wish to use a USB adapter instead, so I can add an external high gain aerial.
I have a TP-Link WN722N adapter (USB) which appears to work ok
- no errors in dmesg
- the appropriate drivers are loaded).

The boxes built-in adapter always seem to be wlan1 and the usb adapter is wlan0
I have a valid connection file at /storage/.cache/connman/xxxxxxx which does indeed successfully connect to the wifi network
I have tried -
- Blacklisting the wlan1 adapter in connman setup at /storage/.cache/connman/settings with
....[global]
....NetworkInterfaceBlacklist=vmnet,vboxnet,virbr,ifb,ve-,vb-,wlan1
- Using ifconfig to turn the interfaces off and on again with
....ifconfig wlan1 off
....ifconfig wlan0 off
- Disable and re-enabling wifi via connman
....connmanctl disable wifi
....connmanctl enable wifi
If I use the Kodi skin interface (Libreelec settings) to enable the adapter i sometimes see connections for the built in adapter (wlan1) and sometimes not
No matter what i do -
- connman will never successfully enable the USB adapter (wlan0)
- connman will always choose the built-in adapter (wlan1) and enable it
I don't see any errors in dmesg (I can post it if that will help)
It seems like I'm missing something ... but I don't know what. Extensive web searches haven't turned up anything helpful
Please can someone advise either (a) how I might achieve this or (b) where to look
thanks
======================================================
EDIT
======================================================
oops, it turns out that
- the process of blacklisting the inbuilt adapter has (mostly) worked.
- I had set a channel on the router which the USB adapter could not access on this machine ... which is odd since the same channel worked fine with the same adapter on a raspberry pi
- I periodically see stations for the inbuilt adapter (wlan1) in the list of available connections. I had to edit the originally created wlan1 connection and set it to manual so it would not automagically associate
Now working. Sorry for wasting time of those who looked at this
Updated my earlier zip file with multiple remotes and added comments to denote content (easier to find)

Note that the mini m8s ii files are commented/documented, the others are "raw"
Go to -
- System
- LibreELEC
- Connections
- Wired (say)
Click on the "Wired" connection (or a specific Wireless connection if that's what you want to set)
Then "Edit" and go to
- IPv4 (say ... few people use IPv6)
- IP Address method ... and change to "manual"
Set fixed IP address if you wish (I do because I want a stable address for VNC, Samba etc)
- Click save
- DNS servers
- Nameserver #1 and click
Set DNS server address
- Save
You will now have set the DNS server
You can accomplish the same outcome at initial setup if you click on the IP addressing info and change it as required
Have you tried "manual" IP addressing ?
I have successfully set DNS, no problem, just needs manual IP address (which will be copied from the DHCP address initially allocated, then you modify it)
Where do you disable de-interlacing? Can't seem to find it anywhere in the settings or in the vide OSD..
From memory - When the video is playing, press <m> for menu, go to the video icon, select and then select deinterlacing and set off. At the bottom of the list, click on "set as default for all videos"
Mini M8s II 2Gb/8GB
Just installed the 32 bit v11 build from scratch (not an upgrade)
all working smoothly. Experienced some audio synch issues (passthrough audio) until de-interlacing turned OFF ... then all synch's ok
No need for echo 1 > /sys/module/amvdec_h264/parameters/error_recovery_mode any more

hi again kszaq ...
any thoughts on the 720p/50 problem (looks like it might be a pull down issue, brief stutter every second) ?
I have managed to work around it ....
The video is still arriving at the tv as deinterlaced, presumably the hardware is deinterlacing it by default. Quality is good and the hardware is able to decode 1080i/50 in software at about 30% cpu across each of the 4 cores.
Please try entering this command over SSH and then play your video: echo 1 > /sys/module/amvdec_h264/parameters/error_recovery_mode.
woohoo ... yes ! Thanks, that fixed the 1080i/50 synch problem. The video quickly recovers from the source error and continues to play "normally".
I've now added that command to /storage/.config/autostart.sh
Great Thanks 
thanks kszaq, I really appreciate your work

They mess up the timings.
thanks, confirms it's not just me 
There seem to be 2 different problems (h264 vs. mpeg2). The h264 stream seems "unrecoverable" for a period of time whereas the mpeg stream recovers ok
Interestingly the h264 clips play ok in version 7 (minor glitch - "instantly" recoverable), but not versions 9 or 10 ... whereas the mpeg stream has a problem in all the releases I've tested so far
For the H264 file In my log file I found a whole lot of this (50-100 lines) at about the time the problem starts and no obvious indication of teletext problems
