For people who for some reason want to try 64bit 8.0.0f : LE – Google Drive
LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-8.0-devel-20170316170002-r25706-g166816a.img.gz
[built verbatim from kszaq repository]
The addons are not updated (same git hash as 8.0.0e)
DVB-TV (pvr.hts client + tvheadend42 server) zapping and audio sync feel faster. So does GUI.

PS: 8.0.0 user interface responsiveness has very much been improved.

Hi all
When upgrading 8.0.0c -> 8.0.0d, I had put new gxbb_p200_2G_1Gbit.dtb as dtb.img in .update folder.
For some reason, ethernet and USB (e.g. mouse) stop working.
Downgrading to previously working 8.0.0c with previously working old 7.0.3.011 gxbb_p200_2G_1Gbit.dtb does not fix ethernet or USB. Note that remote works so I can configure LE. Also note that Android ethernet and USB still work fine.
Does this ring a bell ? and : is there a fix (perhaps adjust/restore a file)?
Thanks

Oh boy, call me stupid!
I was using dtb's from other device...
That's what you get when you try out several OS-es on several devices.
Everything nice now with 8.0.0d.

Hi,

I 've installed LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.0c-I.img.gz and replaced dtb.img after that added the addon service.tvheadend42-8.1.110c.zip + pvr.hts-3.4.17.zip and disable update and no internet connection, but I got an error on Kodi error at pvr.hts-3.4.17 addon, tvheadend unreachable ( although ip was 127.0.0.1 in Tvheadend) and If I choose watch TV a got pvr is starting 0% and that's all.

Thanks for any suggestion.

not sure if it will help but you may want to try to
stop services
backup Addon DBs (say: suffix _)
start services

systemctl stop kodi.service
systemctl stop service.tvheadend42.service
systemctl stop pulseaudio.service


#backup
mv .kodi/userdata/Database/Addons20.db .kodi/userdata/Database/Addons20.db_
mv .kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db .kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db_


systemctl start pulseaudio.service
systemctl start service.tvheadend42.service
systemctl start kodi.service

if it does not help you can always
stop services
restore Addon DBs (sat: suffix _)
start services

if it does help you can later remove backup

Try replacing addons URL to something like this: options#L129 and use WP2.

I may be missing something but if I define

ADDON_PATH="$ADDON_VERSION/WeTek_Play_2/$TARGET_ARCH"
ADDON_URL="$ADDON_SERVER_URL/$ADDON_PATH"

I still end up in kszaq.libreelec.tv since

ADDON_SERVER_URL="http://kszaq.libreelec.tv/addons"

Unfortunately I do not find an alternative Addon server URL ...

$ pwd
kszaq/LibreELEC.tv
$ find projects/ -type f | xargs grep ADDON_SERVER_URL
projects/S905/options:    ADDON_SERVER_URL="http://kszaq.libreelec.tv/addons"
projects/S905/options:    ADDON_URL="$ADDON_SERVER_URL/$ADDON_PATH"
projects/S805/options:    ADDON_SERVER_URL="http://kszaq.libreelec.tv/addons"
projects/S805/options:    ADDON_URL="$ADDON_SERVER_URL/$ADDON_PATH"
projects/Virtual/options:    ADDON_URL="$ADDON_SERVER_URL/$ADDON_PATH"

How is everyone's GUI smoothness in 8.0.0c? Better or no change than in previous builds?

I believe to feel c is smoother in GUI than a. But I have not much practice to come to statistical thruth. But feeling also counts.

Silly question, if I'm on 7.0.3.012g do i need to upgrade the device tree? I recall reading 8.0 still uses the old 7.0.3.012 device tree

I successfully use old device 7.0.3 trees. In fact I am not sure there are newer ones (for my devices).

Thanks for the hint! I had not spotted this options ADDON_SERVER_URL key.

I like 8.0.0 a lot, but there is one reason I stay with 7.0.3:
The deRedactie.be video TV streaming add-on, for some reason, works in 7.0.3 but not in 8.0.0
I'll contact developer of that add-on.
Thanks kszaq for keeping us all happy.

deRedactie.be developer provided workaround fix for his add-on (to be found in github).
I'll switch from 7.0.3 to 8.0.0 !

For 64bit LE build, in kodi log, I notice LibreELEC Addons repository URL points to aarch64 which, of course, does not exist.
Is there an alternative URL location for LE 8.1 aarch64 addons? And how would I instruct to go look there?
I fear some addons request to install other addons and do not find them.
Thanks for help

The 64bit img for LibreELEC.tv-8.0.0a can be found at
LE – Google Drive
Together with two add-ons (which I use to watch and stream DVB-T2 Radio/TV)
pvr.hts-3.4.18.1
service.tvheadend42-8.1.109
Works for me.
Built from unmodified source.

Updated to 8.0.0c (64bit img only, DVB TV add-on's did not have any update since 8.0.0a)

at last command I receive the error:

modprobe: FATAL: Module /tmp/system/lib/ssv6051.ko not found in directory /lib/modules/3.14.29

....

just guessing, maybe you can try:
insmod /tmp/system/lib/ssv6051.ko
sorry if that did not work either

I will soon build 8.0.0b or perhaps wait for next release.

Device trees from kszaq ?
Just in case new members skip to this from old 64bit.
Well done for this effort.

Not much effort, just build using kszaq's repository using standard recipe, all credits go to kszaq.
my device tree from kszaq works

Quote from kszaq

Don't worry, I make sure that aarch64 is buildable. I will also add the mem leak fix to my 7.0 branch.

Is the mem leak fix already in 7.0.3.012i ? I looked at git log upto tag 7.0.3.012i but I am not sure if I can spot it.
Note: myself I never really suffered from the leak. Thanks for your continuous effort!

people who for some reason want a 64bit 7.0.3.012i can find one here
LE – Google Drive
LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0-devel-20170217162342-r23703-gb2307d8.img.gz
expect no support works for me.

Quote from kszaq

What do you need it for? 32-bit userspace builds are working well.

I don't think we really need 64bit but, on the other hand, maybe one day some LE or addon code may conditionally want to use 64bit if available and perhaps result in better performance for some task that can effectively use 64bit. if nobody makes sure 64bit continues to build, that would be a pity. Also, the high end TV boxes have enough resources to run 64bit. And, somehow, one may believe 64bit software on 64bit hardware is cool :-). Myself I have built (and run) 64bit upto 7.0.3.12g (skipped h) and I would like to be able to continue to do so.

7.95.beta5 still the same tvheadend client livetv playback problems since 7.0.2.007 (recordings playback fine).
Looks like I'm resigned to staying on that build for ever as this bug introduced in 7.02.008 is just never going away.

Reported several times
thread-2156-post-29822.html#pid29822

Some details about tvheadend breaking are welcome.
I never had any back/front client/server issues from 7.0.2.00x to now 7.0.3.012g (sorry no h yet).
In fact it does not even matter on which machine back/front client/server are (e.g. both on same box or not).
it works (for me).

Hi.

I have Android tv box Amlogic S905 3g Ram 32Rom (Docooler m9s pro).

Can I install libreELEC via sd card?

Question is if its device_tree file is already available.
If not, you can consider to provide your DTB in dedicated "[S905] Device trees" thread.
(where you can also check if nobody else already did)
