Latest Libreelec master + kodi master + inputstream.adaptive master based on John Galts tree. Let me know if you need compiled pvr addons..

Dropbox - LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-Nougat-testing8.tar

Quote from Crucial

Maybe I didn't read enough documentation, but I'm wondering if there's a sweet SSH command I can use to push the updates, rather than re-format and flash a fresh copy on my sd card. I'm completely fine re-formatting and restoring each update, but I'd be punching myself if there was an easier solution.

I thank ANYONE in advance who replies

My thread comment inspired more reading, I no longer need assistance.

copy update onto update share \\boxip\update from windows and reboot box.. or ssh to box

cd /storage/.update
wget LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-8.0.0c.img.gz
sync
reboot

this command seems to improve PQ

echo 1 > /sys/module/di/parameters/bypass_all

but then i get no de-interlacing on livetv so livetv looks bad..

jd17 does this command fix pq issues on this test #4723768 for you? i.e. is it like Jarvis now?

@ kszaq may i suggest you add following patch to kodi based on work by  juramusger thread-4068.html to avoid dark screen on bootup...

Has anyone managed to make PVR.Filmon work? When I enable it my box freezes and on reboot, I get a message that it failed to load PVR.Filmon addon.

The log doesn't show anything to my untrained eye: T4NZQB2p

login and password correct?

kszaq Thanks for your work.. I'm trying to compile from source but buildscript is failing to download you kernel source it seems linux-amlogic-le is not up to date..

Quote from Pitou

ok, thanks kszaq for the explanation,

Could you tell me how to compile your branch?

I tried:

Code

PROJECT=Generic ARCH=arm make image

But it doesn't work. I'm getting this error message:

Code

manager@linuxmint ~/LE/kszaq/LibreELEC.tv $ PROJECT=Generic ARCH=arm make -j8 image
./scripts/image mkimage

Real solution: LibreELEC

thanks.

I've been doing some tests and I can confirm that there is a slight pixel shift. Unfortunately it can't be easily fixed - in fact I wasn't able to fix it using sysfs parameters. This looks like HW decoder bug and I'll put it on my (long) todo list of things to look at.

I'm using your source built with kodi master. It seems that the pixel shift increases evrytime I play a video I.e. first video has no shift at all and subtitles are perfect then next video has slight shift and this keeps on increasing..

Thank you kostaman.

Tests result: the reason behind freezing is outdated BL30 blob (a part of u-boot) that causes freezing during saradc initialization (S905 temperature sensor).

I guess I now have 3 ways to go:

• tell users to update their Android firmware - that would leave boxes with outdated/no-newer-version-available firmware frozen
• disable temperature sensor in my builds
• provide additional system image with temperature sensor disabled

I would suggest option 3 but still recommend users to update their android firmware. I know I is extra hassle for you to compile.. if you wish I can help with that.

Thanks. Please also get udevadm info /sys/bus/sdio/devices/sdio*.

Not really helpful until you post a full zip log - what is the reason why RTL8189FS drivers is loaded in the first place?

here it is

Don't know if this is helpful.. I have an m8sII mini 1/8gb when i compile SX05-bringup i always end up with a blank screen and the following in dmesg

If i change the following from linux.arm.conf
CONFIG_RTL8189FS=m
to
CONFIG_RTL8189FS=n

box works fine !

when upgrading i get the following error

error opening lock file /var/lock/fw_printenv.lock

what can i do to fix it? or is it safe to ignore?

I'm on ubuntu 16.10 64-bit.. I may be wrong but if i recall correctly this used to work fine before, however i now re-built everything..

populatefs builds within toolchain and if i executed it works but fails on command in build script.. these might help it seems like they are different versions and different sizes..

When building image from source PROJECT=WeTek_Play ARCH=arm make image it fails at the end with

image: creating filesystem on part2...
image: populating filesystem on part2...
image: error happen...

Error: [Filesystem error] /tmp/tmp.JEExJmHhPb/part2.ext4 cannot be opened.

There is some bug when building populatefs (i get a 152k binary) built it on ubuntu I get only 42k binary - replaced the one in toolchain with one built on ubuntu host (outside of LE build environment) and build now completes successfully..

Can someone help I'm trying to compile kszaq build from source (to try some modifications later) I can only build release by using PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make release this creates a tar file but when i use it to upgrade from kszaq 23rd dec build i end up with a blank screen (i can ssh to box) I i try to build using PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make image it fails at the end with
image: creating part2...
image: creating filesystem on part1...
image: creating bootloader configuration...
image: installing u-boot bootloader...
image: copying files to part1...

Error: [Filesystem error] /tmp/tmp.JEExJmHhPb/part2.ext4 cannot be opened.

Any pointers?

Update: ok there is some bug when building populatefs (i get a 152k binary) built it on ubuntu get only 42k binary - replaced the one in toolchain with one built on ubuntu host (outside of LE build environment) and build no completes successfully.. however after it installs i still get a blank screen. what am i doing wrong? ps my build is a00+ k bigger that kszaqa'

Gendo I have been testing this PR in almost every revision and while I admit that Peak3d has done a great job and many of my samples play smoothly, there are still some issues with this PR, e.g. some TV recordings not playing at all. Peak3d is in touch with both Amlogic and LE developers and I hope at some point these issues can be resolved. When this happens, I will upload a build with the patch included.

Thanks for the explanation.. If i can help in anyway do let me know.
