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%.

Jeffers,

you can download Boot.src on his github page: LibreELEC.tv/projects/S812/install at Amlogic-Krypton · 150balbes/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

Then you did everything OK. Use your usb-stick with libreelec now to boot from. Just put it in the usb port and start your box normally (no reset button or toothpick necessary).

Works on the k-vim.

I installed your latest 20170830 build on my M8S. Everything works as expected, but I noticed the UI was so much more responsive. I thought it had something to do with changes in the kernel, but yesterday I noticed cpu2 is constantly on 100%. So probably a bug?

Now I'm in fear when upgrading cause lost all my customizations and configuration.

Any solution for backup and restore entire sd card after a broken upgrade?

I installed TWRP on my M8S. Probably it's available for MXIII also. Search on freaktab. With TWRP you can take a backup. If the libreelec update fails, you can put the backup back with TWRP.

Indeed on the 2 latest builds (also MXIII-plus) the libreelec splash screen is gone. I get a "no signal" message on the screen. But libreelec works. Wait a little bit and suddenly the kodi screen appears. I had the same issue yesterday and downgraded again to the 14/06 build.

Yeah, these M8S devices are funny things. On mine the LibreElec-S812.M8S version does work but no lan and no wifi. The lan.100 version gets stuck on boot. The lan.1000 version did work, with lan and wifi, but now I have the corrupted filesystem error. So I tried the MXIII_PLUS image and this one boots fine and everything works, theonly thing I had to do is add my remote.config to the LIBREELEC partition on the sd-card.

When you try to boot from usb, do you put your stick in the usb port closest to hdmi port? You are sure you used the toothpick method with balbes images and not the one from Demetris? Although it shouldn't be a problem, cause the image from Demetris searches for a kernel.img and the one from Balbes searches for a S805_autoscript. So Balbes images should work on a 'Demetris-system'.

I checked you picture. It isn't the same board, mine is labeled M9&M8_V1.0 2014/07/07, it's almost 3 years old, time fly.

Could you boot your ENY M8S box and install LE to an SDcard or USB stick ?

Can you give more details about the exact image you have used and the boot/install procedure ?

I booted from SD. It was the image LibreELEC-S812.MXIII_Plus.arm-17.3_20170614.img.gz

I burned the image to SD with etcher.

My m8s is multiboot enabled. So I just put in the sd-card and power on the device. Since the last lan1000 images I had the "filesystem corruption" error, but with the MXIII-plus image everything works fine. Didn't test it very well though, but remote, wifi and lan works OK.

Have you tried to use the image MXIII_Plus ?

Balbes tested yesterday your latest MXIII_Plus image on my ENY M8S and it works like a charm (never thought to try de MXIII-plus version). No corrupted filesystem message, LAN and WIFI works great and it's fast also. So for the moment, nothing to complain.

Hello,

is it possible to configure pulseaudio to support network streaming without avahi/zeroconf? I want to stream the sound from pulseaudio to my widora neo (openwrt). As the pulseaudio package from openwrt doesn't support avahi/zeroconf I want to do it by editing default.pa. I tried to copy the default.pa to /storage/.config pulse-daemon.conf.d. Maybe it soes work like that, but i'm not able to select this sound output in settings->system->audio.

Maybe somebody already managed to do it?

it will not boot from SD card says filesystem corruption has been detected

Same problem here with Balbes latest builds for LAN1000. Since the builds after 20170418 they don't boot anymore from SD-card. Even if you do a upgrade with a tar file you get the error mesage after the update. Very strange. I use a real samsung sd-card and it boot's the old images just fine.

Is there something changed in the compilation of your versions since your 20170414 builds. Those I can write happily to sd-card and boot from is. With the newer versions 20170418 and 20170513 I get the corrupted file system error. I thought to be smart and update the 20170414 build wit the update tar of 20170513, but guess what ... when rebooting i got the corrupted file ssytem error again. Didn't try form usb, but as it worked with the older versions I wonder why not with the newer versions.

Thanks a lot Balbes, I really appreciate your work. As your LibreElec runs fine on my Eny M8S, I don't really need the testing, but I definitely will try you armbian version.

My M8S seems ENY's M8S 2GB/8GB. I try Libreelec 8.0 I could install and works. But remote couldn't work only I can use for power off.
And problem with reboot, I had to re plug always. I think it's dtb problem where can I found my device tree?

6330 ap+2GB/8GB+10/100 Fastethernet version

Thank you so much your great job! balbes150

I'm running Balbes latest lan1000 version on my ENY M8S just fine. No problems with the remote or power on/off. I will post my remote.conf this evening.
