Is there a special version of Armbian I need to install before running this? I can get Armbian booting off emmc fine but when I install LE to this same emmc it will not boot. It seems to be looking fro uefi?

mac= is working from SD

You will need to learn how to build your own. The API and interface lever can change, ie you can't use a Nexus version with Matrix.

Continuing on, since my emmc is no longer usable I installed the new image to SD card but it still doesn't take the mac= parameter The udev rule approach you suggested was working from the emmc.

I copied the update to .update but this broke the emmc installation

I mounted the emmc and noticed there was only a dtb_old folder so I copied dtb folder from the image, but it still doesn't boot. It says could not mount Label=LE_EMMC

How do I install that ethmactool? I do have the mac=... showing in /proc/cmdline

Yes I am sure. I tried several times and it failed, so ended up using another emmc and it boots fine from it now. I can't get it to save a fixed IP address via LibreElec settings and can't set the mac (or ethaddr) in extlinux.conf

Yes those are what I have been using use but they just say Armbian not ArmbianTV on the filenames. Maybe you use the term interchangeably?

I see the release notes some say Armbian and some say ArmbianTV but I couldn't find an image with ArmbianTV.

Martin

I am not sure what you mean by ArmbianTV but I installed one of the Armbian desktops I had made sure it worked ok, then run the LE setup to emmc and I guess it finishes since it goes to black screen. It did something because desktop no longer starts but neither does LE, the boot hangs with the pxeboot.

It has U-Boot SPL 2022.04-armbian (Jul 07 2022 - 08:50:57 +0300) and log is here

Martin

I get this on the screen and it stops

Here is the boot sequence

Turning on EGL rendering gave me the OSD thanks.

When I say no MAC address, I need to use a fixed IP since every time LE boots it has an new MAC and my DHCP server gives a new IP address.

Thanks for the test builds. I installed this Quartz64a build and it easily passes my test of hosting a pvr server and allowing Kodi to play live TV on the host and stream to another box, while recording a third show, with lots to spare (writing to SD)

However some that things continue to be a problem

- emmc installs complain that LIBRELEC is not mounted. SD card installs work fine.

- there is no OSD over video.

- no MAC address

Martin

Yes for python you need to check the Kodi documentation since it is not LE related.

kodi: Python API v20

Martin

Have your USB source on the left showing the files and enter the Profile directory showing its files on the right.

Highlight advancedsettings.xml and hit the c.

Martin

If you insert your USB drive you should be able to go to Settings -> File Manager Add source and then on the right side select Profile Directory for your target and copy it.

Quote from CvH

the new addons get build tonight and pushed tomorrow

Do you know when these will be updated online? 10.80.6 is still May 6. I wanted to get netcore 6.0.5 so that arm will work on this test build. 6.0.6 is out now too. I can do it manually but I'd rather do it using the package you created for NextPVR

Martin

Not sure I understand the question, I've told you I am running LE on the RPi3. That dotnet is simply because the NextPVR server is a netcore app. I could run it in a docker and hide all that, but I figure running the service natively would be more efficient, the RPi3 has only 1GB and the Docker is on SD card. Jellyfin and Emby native would look like that too.

What I was getting at is the RPi3 kodi.bin is running 58% CPU, yours is running 13%. My test RPi3 doesn't get close to that even at ideal.

I don't know if it is much comparison, look at the Kodi difference mine ideals much higher and I don't think it is because of v18. You might use emmc too. I'll try CE on a vim3l or n2 and see.
