There are some points regarding Mac Addresses.

Very handy in getting info on the devices on your network.

You may have to open a new thread if you still have issues outside of the ones in link.

I'm on auto settings on router 80MHz / Channel 149 which works.

I will open a new thread if / when I get time. My AP is a Ubiquiti UAP-AC-LR with latest stable firmware, 5GHz channel 42 (36,+1) VHT80. My wireless NIC MAC is persistent between reboots and Android. Verified by static DHCP address correct no matter what is booted and when.

Info given simply to help others seeing the same issue. Any troubleshooting beyond this, we should open another thread. Thanks!

It's pretty hard today to cover all BCM chips with one driver and that's what I should aim to do. Recent changes are only regarding regulatory and I only switched to the one that covers most of 5GHz channels. I have not faced any issues using 4 BCM chips in boxes I have although I haven't tested them for a very long time. If the issue persists, perhaps you need to open a new thread where I would be able to post some test builds for you.

If the issue persists, or annoys me enough, I will definitely open another thread and see if we can figure it out. Thanks kszaq! Everything else is working great BTW...

I've powered off , Rebooted a total of 10 times to make sure.

No connection losses. It connects to 5ghz every time.

My TX7 has 5.8GHZ ac protocol which my router transmits.

Not sure of your hardware or router settings?

My box has an 802.11n 5GHz radio. It is using N to connect to an AC capable AP. Here is the info for the wireless chip in my box:

[Chipset Quick Info]

Vendor: AMPAK AP6330

WiFi: BCM4330

Bluetooth: BCM40183

8.2.2.2 Fixed 5GHZ on my TX7

I noticed on my box, I had to do a full shutdown -> power pull -> power re-plug -> power on, before it would see my 5GHz SSID's again. Might be helpful to others.

Scratch that. With the changes to the Broadcom driver, WiFi intermittently connects. Have my box pointed at a 5GHz only SSID. No such issue on 8.2.1.1.

Box boots with no connection, change no settings, reboot, has WiFi connection again. Not the worst thing to deal with (if the clock doesn't update, reboot), thought it worth mentioning though.

Quote from estimadarocha

you are right sorry!

No problem. Thank you sir!

Quote from estimadarocha

is it possible to do the same with ac module?

Quote from estimadarocha

the problem is find one thats compatible with board!

These are questions for a hardware related thread. It has nothing to do with this build, let alone software, unless you are asking about driver support, which is easily found in OP. Please post elsewhere.

Will not work because it requires attention

Lols, well, one can dream...

PS: Perhaps this would be a good time to add Etcher (etcher.io) to the HowTo here: [HOWTO + FAQ] Install community builds on S905/S905X/S912 device

It works extremely well, is extremely easy to use, and is extremely cross platform. This may cut down quite a bit on questions about how to initially write the image to flash media from Windows, possibly even Linux and MacOS as well.

Yes, this is a request

Perhaps we should all make a better effort (myself included) to make the first reply to an issue more pointed, when it does not belong in this thread. Some do. More need to.

Some users just don't know any better, and need some simple guidance.

Some users just don't care, and need repeated, but patient, guidance.

For every post, there should be few options for initial replies in this thread. Feel free to adlib the sh*t out of this list and repost, as needed. It's merely an example:

- Already answered

Easily found (no direct links, they just encourage more not looking before posting)

Obscure to find (direct link and request to add to OP if important and obscure enough to take time to direct link)

- Doesn't belong here (advise to pursue other new, or existing thread)

- Actually applies directly to kszaq build (proceed normally, in this thread)

Above all, be patient. Most people, even knowledgeable ones at times, aren't sure if an issue is related to this build or not. Often, this is the only build they run on any device they own, and don't have the means to try anything using another build first. So, patiently, reply to these posts, with an "I don't have this issue with this build" or "I know this issue is LibreELEC / Kodi / add-on related" type of answer.

Please, for the developers sanity...

My network seems fine... I get 90 Mbps download and 11up

Do you have buffering issues with YouTube?

Quote from lama0900

On my KI Pro I have to push the button in the little hole on every boot, otherwise it won't boot up.

I'm booting from mSD card. Anything I can do against this behavior ?

Do you have to do this to boot anything (Android, etc.), or just LibreELEC?

Quote from EngineerOfLife

My LAN RJ45 wired network just stop to work when I was using libreelec 8.1.10. I dont know what happening but neither Android TV original firmware is the wired network working.

I'm sure that I used the right DTB file (I have a K1 PRO)

What should I do?

I try to reflash with all original android recovery firmware using usb to usb cable and didnt work. Also tried old libreelec firmware.

I saw a bunch of people here complain about this dtb file. So what happened? Would be the newer k1 pro have some different hardware?

If the wired interface is not working on stock Android, nor LibreELEC, it may be dead. Shutdown + unplug the box for a few minutes, plug it back in and try it. Cross your fingers...

Unfortunately Hardkernel is out of stock

Currently says dispatch in 7 days, direct from HC. That is well worth the wait for one of these. Not to mention, a whole list of official C2 distributors on HC's website to stock check...

7 days is well worth years of stability, options, and support.

Quote from BeeMan

I have the 8.1.10 build installed and see the Kodi 17.3 splash screen at boot. Is this normal?

Edit: I disabled the Kodi splash screen in advancedsettings.xml, but still wonder if the Kodi splash screen version is updated with corresponding LE builds?

You may want to reinstall the latest update. Just drop it into the .update folder again along with the dtb you normally use, and reboot.

My box definitely has the correct (17.4) splash screen, and that is part of the system image.

Quote from dexx

Which of the current S905/S905X boxes have quality of components and ease of use with LE comparable with the Minix U1/U9?

For S905 I don't think it gets much better / more consistent than the Odroid-C2 right now.

Quote from lama0900

Is it possible to use a 64gb microSD card for LibreELEC and tvheadend recordings?

So is the LibreELEC partition size resized to match all the 64gb?

Thanks

Yes, on first boot the 2nd partition (the one you care about) is resized to fill the rest of the storage device.

Quote from jd17

That is the first time I am hearing/reading this.

I still always rename the current device trees to dtb.img and it always worked just fine.
Did kszaq ever recommend to not rename them anymore? Again, first time I read this...

Yes, it was recommended at some point to not rename the dtb in the .update folder. Don't remember by whom.

It sounds like this may no longer matter though, given above feedback.

Quote from kazonuk

yeah i tried that too, took the file 'dtb.img' (that's right?) into update, (this is off the USB pendrive off an install that I know definitely works), its really odd, like the upgrade appears to work, I don't see any errors but once the reboot occurs there is nothing

I will recheck that device tree file is correct

No, that's not right. Download correct current device tree from OP, place in .update folder, do not rename it.
