Probably not as it requires Qt5 which is quite large. You can run it in Docker.

Sounds like you haven't updated properly, 20170824 is fixed I have tested here and confirmed by BlaBla1973

Let me know if you get it working with a BD player. I don't have one so I haven't actually tested it.

1. Yes.

2. Create a shortcut that runs /usr/bin/emulationstation.sh

3. Yes, but you'll need to configure Emulationstation manually. Install RetroArch cores into /tmp/cores.

Thanks for notifying me, a fixed build 20170824 is uploaded

You need to follow the naming convention in the roms folder.

No, it's not possible either as Chrome does not exist for ARM. You can however run Chromium or other open source browsers through Docker.

Growing up with it didn't make it any easier. It just meant laziness was not an option These days I notice people give up quickly unless there's a youtube-video showing where to click, which really does not teach you anything. End of CLI rant

Install the docker addon.

All the information you need and more: Docker Documentation | Docker Documentation

The method you are talking about is included in the package I linked to above:

LibreELEC.tv/makemkv.profile at le82 · escalade/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

It sets up some environment variables that makes use of MakeMKV instead of libaacs/libbdplus. I don't have a BD drive myself but I had some feedback previously that it worked.

NOTICE TO GENERIC USERS

I previously switched to XZ compression for the squashfs to fit everything, but during testing on my Tronsmart I noticed that it's extremely slow (11 seconds vs 1 minute on creating a tar of /usr) compared to gzip. I've now switched to ZSTD compression which is nearly as fast as LZO (faster than gzip) while compressing better than gzip (the default). Regular LE does not have support for ZSTD and thus will not be able to upgrade to it either. You can only upgrade to it from a previous build of mine, or by doing a clean install.

After reinstalling, did you try suspending before the "downgrade" to legacy? Could be just an addon that had a broken shutdown/suspend script that got wiped out when you reinstalled.

I don't see how a kernel upgrade fixes a bug in glibc (although won't exclude it). More likely, the bug was fixed by Ubuntu and the patched glibc version was installed when you upgraded your kernel.

And yes, comparing 4.4 and 4.12 is very far from a good test.

Uhm, glibc is the C library which is entirely separate from the kernel. I can't say that I know much about the patches Ubuntu include in their kernel package today, but I'd be very surprised if there's anything that would cause such a difference in 3D performance. There's certainly nothing in this "xanmod" that would give you +25fps, I'd like to see proof of this. There are no optimizations in the LE kernel either, it's standard Linux with a few patches to fix certain functionality.

Any improvement is good improvement indeed, but xanmod seems more like snake 0il to me. Looking through their commits and changes it seems like they are just switching around schedulers and tuning these. Looking at an older benchmark, it actually performs worse than the standard kernel. There is no proper documentation or reasoning on their mods either.

From a quick glance, I can't see anything in the xanmod kernel that would be relevant for LE. "Huge perf gain", do you have any benchmarks to back up that claim?

Should be possible to get it working with HDMI as well like this:

Intel NUC, kodi on 4K is limited to 30FPS

I've seen talk that the USB-C converter method actually works with HD audio as well.

8.2.0 includes Samba 4 which is very different from the Samba 3 in 8.0.2, and ANY customised samba.conf will not be compatible.

Indeed, you can add the necessary blu-ray key database like this: mkdir -p /storage/.config/aacs && curl -L -O /storage/.config/aacs/KEYDB.cfg http://www.labdv.com/aacs/KEYDB.cfg
