You can also buy a $6 USB Gigabit LAN dongle.

Mine works great. 300M down, 180M up.

Great! Thanks for the help testing it.

The USB icon lights up when you connect USB storage, like a USB drive or USB HDD, it will not respond to things like game controllers or mice.

Some decoders may handle bad rips better than others.

Use Rufus to "burn" the LibreELEC image to your USB drive. (just select the gz image file, and don't change anything)

Turn box off, plug in USB.

Press reset, turn box on.

Wait a few seconds, "un-press" reset.

Box should start booting and partition the USB drive.

If this doesn't work, try a different USB drive.

Thanks. This helped me fix the icon order. I attached a DTB with the correct configuration for everything, please try it out.

There must be some other place that rounds 7 back to 0. I attached a new M82 DTB, which should have all the correct configuration, so you shouldn't need the advanced settings in the add-on.

Ok, I had a bit of a brainfart, sorry. These controllers only have 7 words, that means an index from 0 - 6.

Please SSH into the box, and run the following command, see if some of the icons get lit up during the test loop, especially at the beginning, when everything is lit and the display is going from dark to bright.

sh test_led.sh -dt 0x00010000 -t

If you could get a video, like I and force9da posted, that would be even better.

This is not a remote.conf thread.

michael123

That is my bad. I updated the add-on to allow an index of 7.

Please replace the settings.xml (or just overwrite the whole folder) and try again.

A new driver will be ready soon, which doesn't require per-device DTBs, only a simple configuration file with all that's needed.

But with the current driver, I think that DTBs have not changed since 8.90.4.

Hey coolest,

That gives me a display, the last digit is upside down and flipped, the usb icon is displayed but no network/wifi icon i can live without that how do i flip the last digit so its the right way up and flipped.

Cheers

Please use the driver/service/add-on from this post: LED (VFD) Displays in LibreELEC

It will allow you to make configuration changes on the fly. The correct config for your box should be:

Display Type = 0
Common Anode = unchecked.
Index 0 is 4
Index 1 is 0
Index 2 is 1
Index 3 is 2
Index 4 is 3

Please post the settings that gives you a correct display.

Regarding the icons:

I understand that you can live without them, but for us to keep this project/feature alive, we need the correct configuration for each box we add support for.

You'd have to run the service in 'test mode', it'll show the order in which each segment is lit up.

I'll need a video of it running (a single loop is about 90 seconds).

To start the test mode, SSH into box, where the new driver is extracted. Run "sh test_led.sh -t"

A video like this one:

Device Tree Files: fd628_dev.zip DTB: T95UPro_Clone_gxm-q201-2g.dtb.zip

Hi The Coolest,

I have No Display on Mine I have the addon installed, My Box is a 2g T95U Pro Sunvell Clone the chip on the back of the vfd is FD62052 I have attatched my current dtb i use to boot LibreElec which was extracted from my original rom and also the files required from the device-tree folder.

Cool, thanks.

Here's the DTB. I know it should work, but not 100% sure if the icons will be displayed correctly, please let me know how that goes.

I think Kszaq's build has it built in, but on his old LE7 builds I had to run the following command to fix some live channels. (I have it in autostart.sh on that box).

echo 4 > /sys/module/amvdec_h264/parameters/dec_control

I can't really help with the ethernet issue.

Try what was suggested in an earlier post:

echo 'ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full' >> /storage/.config/autostart.sh

Run the above command in SSH and then reboot.

1. Common Anode should be on. As you can see digits that way, albeit they're upside down.

2. To turn digits right way up, change the display type to something else. (0, 2, 3 have the same orientation, 1 is 'up-side down').

3. What remains is to play with the indexes to find the correct index for each digit (and icons). The numbers in the linked post are a mere suggestion.

Index 0 represents the icons.

Index 1 Hours x10.

Index 2 Hours.

Index 3 Minutes x10.

Index 4 Minutes.

Perhaps values above 4 are valid, try them out.

Edit: I suspect that an index setting of 7, 3, 4, 5, 6 might work.

I bought a TAPI or TAP1 S905X 1G. I've booted to android and I'm trying to extract its DTB, but is impossible because I don't have the /dev/dtb folder. Is this normal?

Please see this thread: LED (VFD) Displays in LibreELEC

I'm of the opinion that there's no real way to properly tone map HDR content to SDR.

Perhaps if you use a PC with MadVR, but even then the results aren't that great. It also depends a lot on your TV, and the ability to configure the tone mapping to suit your TV correctly. (which is non-existent, AFAIK, on these boxes)

If you want to play HDR content, you'd better get a HDR display and a player that supports HDR.

Here you go.

Hi, could you please reply to my previous post?

I'm having a hard time figuring out which kernel your build uses. Is it based on kszaq's builds?

The automatic REC.709 and BT.2020 switching, does it normally run in 422,8bit and only switch to 422,10bit when HDR content is started?

That would be perfect, because my TV switches into BT.2020 SDR mode when I run it at 444,10bit, which oversaturates everything.

Also, can we expect a S905X build?

michael123

Make sure that Common Anode = checked.

Please post a picture with it both checked and unchecked.
