Herman, why don´t You run LE from SD card ?

So much trouble, for what ?

Only to use the SD card slot as a HDD ?

Device tree depends on hardware - SoC seems to be the S905W

Version 1 = [8.2.2.2] LibreELEC 8.2 for S905/S905X

Version 2 = [8.90.0] LibreELEC 9.0 Pre-Alpha for S905/S905X/S912

Just try to install on SD card until it works

see here

[7.0.3.012l] LibreELEC 7.0 for S905/S905X

But it´s better to install Krypton

I see the Video buffering but when the video continues the buffer is gone and loading again. its a bit crazy

First thing to do in this case:

connect external HDD directly at the box and check it out

Quote from Habibie

Damn, mine only shows 1 decoder (see below). How to enable all like shown on your post?

Code

LibreELEC (community): 8.2.2.1 (S905.arm)
LibreELEC:~ # cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/dc_cap
rgb,8bit
LibreELEC:~ # cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/attr


LibreELEC:~ #

It depends on attached device and if it´s switched on or off

At my old FHD TV it shows ->

LibreELEC (community): 8.2.2.2 (S905.arm)

905X-AZ:~ # cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/dc_cap

444,8bit

422,8bit

rgb,8bit

Special case at my Sony TV

If TV is switched off ->

S912:~ # cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/dc_cap

rgb,8bit

If TV is switched on ->

S912:~ # cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/dc_cap

420,10bit

420,8bit

444,10bit

444,8bit

422,10bit

422,8bit

rgb,10bit

Fast ethernet should be ->

Speed: 100Mb/s

Duplex: Full

Gb Network should be ->

Speed: 1000Mb/s

Duplex: Full

100Mb/sec is to slow -> check cable and switchport

Quote from rosenrot

If the source quality is very high and the internet speed is slowed down, the video starts to stutter.

You are sure this caused by LE ?

Type ethtool eth0 via ssh

Quote from dewa

Are there any devices with a good Kodi integrated Netflix/Amazon experience, that don't require switching to Android?

No, it´s not possible without android.

Fast ethernet should look like this:

[ 4] 0.00-1.00 sec 10.7 MBytes 89.5 Mbits/sec 12 24.0 KBytes

[ 4] 1.00-2.00 sec 10.9 MBytes 91.4 Mbits/sec 12 26.9 KBytes

[ 4] 2.00-3.00 sec 11.1 MBytes 92.8 Mbits/sec 14 25.5 KBytes

[ 4] 3.00-4.00 sec 11.1 MBytes 92.9 Mbits/sec 13 22.6 KBytes

[ 4] 4.00-5.00 sec 11.2 MBytes 93.6 Mbits/sec 13 22.6 KBytes

Did You try iperf running on other devices like PC, Notebook, NAS etc. ?

Quote from kmxak

does anybody know how to fix lan speed problem? i used static ip and dhcp both the same.

LAN speed is no problem in LE - check Your network first

A good test is using iperf

Quote from kmxak

i tested network speed .. 2000 kb/s and wlan have only 400 kb/s .. thats so slow and i dont know why its so slow.

Most wlan chips in amlogic boxes are not sooo fast.

The wlan chip in my notebook(killer 1535) costs more than most amlogix boxes.

The Coolest, 'Tim_Taylor':

When i set manuelly set 444 10bit then the outbut show this, but i will see what set the "auto detect"?

Look at info menue of TV or AVR - it will show some information.

My TV and my AVR shows the information and in my case a can use LE without manual settings like 444,10Bit

Quote from isidoros

Should i change any setting?

Yes.

Use a wired network and all videos will play without slowdown or stuttering

Quote from wrxtasy

In fact most 4K is nothing but marketing smoke and mirrors from TV manufacturers .

Yes, I agree.

But ...

If You want a really good TV, You have to buy an expensive 4k TV(not a cheap one)

And ...

If You want cinema feeling - use UHD bluray and AVR

If You watch this forum, most people want to look IPTV, Youtube, netflix or amazon stream, connect old analog TV at amlogic box etc.....

with hope to get a perfect working multimedia box for the price of a McDonalds menue

Just my 2 cents

Quote from heiner59er

it does get an IP address but it does take a while (Sometimes I get a 169.. IP number

gxm_q200_3g.dtb or gxm_q200_k3_pro.dtb and renamed to dtb.img - none seem to work. I've tried gxm_q201_3g.dtb as well (100 ethernet)

169.x.x.x is a default IP if DHCP fails

Try another dtb file, 2Gb version should work

Quote from Daz

what do i have to do to boot back up to LE after the firmware update without having to do a clean install thanks.

1. shutdown box

2. remove sd card

3. power on and install firmware update

4. shutdown box and insert sd card again

5. power on - toothpick or another method to enable reboot from sd car

6. reboot from LE

I don´t know - it´s easy
