    balbes150,

    Didn't test the remote yet, but I don't expect problems with it.

    Seems there are some problems. I kill kodi and eventlircd and when I want to activate my own remote.conf, I get this message:

    LibreELEC-M8S:~/.config # ir-keytable -a /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg -s rc0

    /sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory

    No devices found

    Maybe it is indeed missing module meson-ir as stated in the error message of systemd.

    This is the output from cat /proc/bus/input/devices:

    It seems also the inputstream-adaptive addon is not installed. I wanted to install it from the libreelec add-ons repository but I get following message: Could not connetct to repository.

    balbes150,

    I tested all you images for 100Mb network. For your knowledge, I have a Eny M8S with a AP6330 wifi chip. Recently I had some problems with it, but I flashed the android firmware again and now everything is fine again. Seems doiing the toothpick method to much for different AML_AUTOSCRIPTS corrupts uboot after a while...

    So I tested all images to boot from sdcard and from usbstick.

    The 100M image boots, I had to do a manual resizing of the storage partition because it stuck in the boot on the resizing. It can be it had something to do with my old uboot because after reflashing the android firmware the other firmwares didn't have that problem anymore. Same for the freezing as mentioned in post 737.

    Conclusion: this image works OK, including network, wifi and bluetooth.

    The image in folder 1: boots but no wifi and bluetooth

    The image in folder 2: didn't boot at all, the M8S stuck at the S812 boot logo

    The image for the mxIII-plus: Works without glitches on the M8S. Network OK, Wifi OK, Bluetooth OK

    The only thing I noticed is that the option in the shutdown menu to install the image to nand doesn't work, and also some systemd message during boot about systemd-modules-load.service:

    I will continue with the MXIII-plus image. Didn't test the remote yet, but I don't expect problems with it.

    It's as I already told balbes in post 737: the .please_resize_me file could not be deleted. It's easy to fix if you have a linux pc. Just put the usb stick or sdcard in your linux pc. Go to the storage partition of your usb stick or sdcard and remove the file .please_resize_me as root (or with sudo in the terminal). After you done this, You can use gparted to expand the storage partition.

    I don't think it is possible on a windows pc as windows doesnt support the ext4 filesystem. But actualy, I don't know as I'm not a windows user.

    If you don't understand the above howto, wait for a next image of Balbes150 where he fixed the permissions of the storage partition. -> just noticed it could be a uboot problem also, as a reflashed my android firmware and started again with the toothpick method to activate multiboot. After I did this the resize problem was gone.

    balbes150

    I tried your Leia version for the 100Mb network. Following things I noticed:

    1) It keeps on rebooting because it can't delete the file .please_resize_me, after manualy deleting this file as root and expanding the filesystem myself I was able to boot.

    2) When in Kodi after a few seconds it freezes, sometimes kodi restarts itself another time I had to pull the plug.

    3) The script "install to internal" doesn't seem to work, or there is something wrong with uboot of my M8S.

    I see on the download page there is a folder for the 100Mb network with two folders, both with an image. What is the difference between all the 100Mb images. I used the one from the front page.

    I'd like to add that from Coreelec 8.90.1 onwards "longpress" is supported but you have to switch from remote.xml to keyboard.xml for it to work.

    Do you mean you have to create a different file for keyboard buttons? I thought it was specified in the format of the file for example <keymap><global><keyboard> and for remote it is for example <keymap><global><remote>. As I understood, with the ir-keytable method all button presses where interpreted as keyboard inputs. Or am I wrong?

    The good news is Martin is gradually adding support for the s812 to the kernel mainline. Now you can use s812 as a server (there is no HDMI output yet).

    Nice to hear the mainline kernel for the S812 is also getting shape. Your armbian build made me dust of my M8S. Now I have to find the proper DTB. Hopefully HDMI will be functional soon.

    I tried it on coreelec, but when I want to launch a game, the systems freezes and after a while it goes back to the kodi home screen. Did only try with snes games and beetle-snes.( -> from de corelec games addons not the ones from raybuntu)

    What I think is strange is that You can't choose which emulator to use, for example f you installed 2 snes emulators.

    Balbes,

    your 21/12 build works OK, does even boot from sd. No corrupted file system error.

    Regarding the systemd errors on startup, according me these are modules that systemd wants to load, but probably, you integrated them in the kernel and didn't compile them as modules.

    You can see which error it is when ssh'ing into the box an run following command: systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service

    On my box this is the result:

    My issue is that I can power the box off from the remote but not back on. The only way I can power back on is by pulling the power cord from the back of the the box and reinserting to reset the box. I can then press the power button on the box to power it back on.

    Same problem here, I have to pull out the power and back in before it starts. Didn't had this problem before.

    Nice work. I only have a small problem since I updated to krypton. I have a dvd/hdd combo like this one -> USB Portable DVD/CD Writer and HDD All-In-One Combo

    But when there is a cd in the tray, the hdd doesn't mount anymore. Strange as it wasn't a problem on Jarvis. I got to investigate it further, maybe it's a hardware problem that occured on the same time I upgraded to Krypton.

    As I had to much issues with the 30/08 build, I tried the latest build of Demetris (just burn it to sd and added Balbes S805_autoscript). Boots fine and everything works, even my dvd/hdd combo. So something should probably be wrong in Balbes150 image.

    Regarding the cpu, in Demetris image I have also constantely 1 cpu at 100%.
