Is there a way to have libre elec reflect changes in vdf.conf without having to reboot?
I'm assuming you can do something with /usr/sbin/FD628Service
Yes, type in
Code
systemctl restart fd628Posts by The Coolest

I have mxv + s905, what should I do?
I sent you a pm, read it please.

I'm not sure why it auto updates to the wrong version. The driver is still very much a work in progress, and there was a big change made to it after 8.90.6, which prevents the older addon from working.
You can keep updates disabled for now, there won't be any more updates to it on the official LE repo.

Well the drive seems to be just fine. I don't really know why it's not playing smoothly as it should.
Have you check the temperature of the SoC? (run 'cputemp' in ssh or check from kodi)
-
Try the addon from the attached zip file on page #8.
-
Make sure that you install the FD628 Service addon in Kodi.

I suggest you get a tool like DiskMark or similar and simply run a performance test on the HDDs. Perhaps it's not the box but the drives.
4-8MB/s is a far cry from being enough for 120mbps video. Remember there are 8 bits in a byte. So for 120mbps video, you need your drive to be able to transfer at the very least 15MB/s.
But I don't really see why the drives are so slow, USB 3.0 HDDs today should be able to copy over large files at close or even over 100MB/s.
On the box they'll be limited by the USB 2.0 interface, but around 30MB/s should not be a problem, and is plenty fast. -
Sounds more like a problem with your particular box than with LE.
Which minix model? Have you checked how the same content works from Android?

The Odroid C2 uses the older S905 SoC, which doesn't support HDR. But that should not result in a black screen.
Without information on the TV model, how it's connected (do you have an AVR?) and configured, (is HDMI 2.0 enabled? what resolution is Kodi GUI set at? do you have an HDMI cable capable of 4K resolutions?) it's hard to give an accurate estimation of what's wrong.

That doesn't mean anything. What matters is the type of LCD (or OLED) panel used.
All TVs that support DV have 12 bit pathways. I think some high-end Sony TVs are even 14 bit in that respect. I have one that supports DV, but the panel is 8bit + dithering, which helps a bit with banding, but it's still a 8bit+ TV. As long as the panel itself is limited to 10 bits, all that is pretty negligible.
-
2re I'd like to see a source for that.
I normally keep tabs with new display tech, and I have heard nothing about 12 bit TV panels (be it 10+dithering or 12 bit native), especially from Samsung.
-
Bits are also reportet by AVR - but I never saw 12 bits
But do you see it switching from 8 bits in SDR to 10 bits in HDR?
HDR10 is just 10 bits, also all TVs are only 10 bits.
Only Dolby Vision currently is 12 bits, but since displays are physically still 10 bits, there's no real benefit to it.

According to that thread it's a USB 1.1 adapter. It'll be useless for pretty much anything these days.
Unless you're streaming something that's really low bitrate, I suggest you get a different adapter.
I have this: 112541143662 and it works wonderfully in LE.

I'm looking for someone with the following boxes: "MXV+ S905" / "M9 Pro" / "CSA93" to test whether the driver will work with i2c based display drivers. Please reply or PM me if you have one of these and can help with testing.
Support was added for the FD650 (actually for TM1650) and for the HBS658 chips.
-
True, I'm not sure why it isn't working, that version should've been fine right out of the box.
-
What version have you installed? You gave no indication.
Latest adamg builds have a firewall that is on by default (in LE settings), try turning it off.
-
Has anyone successfully installed LibreElec on the Mecool M8S PRO W (S905X)?
Despite various versions (8.90.6 or earlier) I always get a connection error when choosing my Wi-Fi network.
In this case, we need to know the wifi chip your box uses too.

I had a completely corrupted display on a Tanix Tx3 and finally found that if I configured FD628 service by changing
"- Select which icon is to be used as the access indicator"
to the power option in my case I got a properly functioning display.
I have forgotten what the default entry was.
Dunno if this might be relevant or not.
I just tried to reproduce this, but failed. It's much more likely that one of the advanced display options was the one that caused the problem.
The access indicator lets you chose an icon to be used as a rudimentary "HDD" led, to show you when the box reads from/writes to its storage.
