Thanks for your report. Why do you need Bluetooth when u have wifi ?
hmm, anyway, i am right now installing this build to NAND .

Do i have to change the Device Tree on K1+ or just prepare USB with this image and using Putty, installtointernal command is sufficient ?

Thanks

I use bluetooth for bt headphone.

After you successfully install to sd card (or usb) and configure everything you want to see if it works best for you, then just ssh to and use "installtointernal" command.

I believe it's original kszaq's script. It also has option to copy userdata from sd card to NAND.

afl1: can you pls fix the download link in the first post pls ? i cannot able to download it. giving me error to load megaupload.

After installed to Kii Pro's NAND and let it running overnight, memory management seems OK. It's still only 13%. Still not tested much though.

As tvheadend server, I can now play live TV, both on Kii itself and on remote TVH clients, without buffering issue. So far so good.

The only issue for now is that built-in bluetooth can't be used when wifi is enabled. (It works very well when I use only Lan and disable wifi.)

Ah. That's why I got streaming error a lot with this T230.

Hope this will get fixed soon.

Look at afl1's OP. There is PVR add-on link to download.

Hi Pawnthep,

Unfortunately the userdata folder is located in the hidden .kodi folder which cannot be selected in 16.1 as location for channel icons.

If I look under /storage I can select the following folders for 'Folder with channel icons':

-lost+found
-music
-pictures
-recordings
-screenshots
-tvshows
-videos

Display More

I thinks you have to set Kodi's setting to "show hidden files and directories."

Look here, afl has clearly stated "Image for KI Plus, SD card Version"

try your luck if you dont bother wasting your time repairing your box once again.

Just did it. It works!

I risk to install to NAND because
- I always notice my live tv keep buffering when using LE from SD card.
- it happens both with previous Jarvis build and this Krypton build from afl1.
- with afl1's Jarvis build on NAND, I can use it as tvheadend server streaming to other clients without issue. But when watching on Kii itself it got buffering on sd channels.
- so I guess it may improve with Krypton build installed on NAND. Hope there'll be no issue about live tv buffering. And now it seems good so far.

-------------------------------

There is a bug about bluetooth and wifi. (found on Kii pro with latest Krypton build)
That is, bluetooth will work only if wifi is disabled.
Can this bug be fixed? (I think there are some mentions about this bug on S905 LibreELEC before.)

Thanks for the new development.
links - pvrs-v17b6.tar.gz doesnt open a page

Try not adding "https://"

I thinks you can just put them in userdata folder. It will definitely get backed up.

Can I install the new build to NAND with ssh command from SD card installation?

Thanks for the new build. Will try it soon.

20161215 (Generic):

Code

- I now optimize for Atom (-march=silvermont) by default, it's only a few more optimizations up from the default x86-64 so should be safe for most
- Linux 4.9.0
- Built with GCC 6.3.0-RC-20161214
- xf86-video-nvidia 375.26/340.101

I've added a drm-next build as well for Cherry Trail / Bay Trail devices. It's exactly the same except for the drm-next kernel with updated HDMI audio patch and without nvidia/amd drivers.

Updated to new drm-next build for Cherry Trail but no picture comes out.

LibreELEC and other services seem running ok. With xrandr I got this

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

HDMI2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1600mm x 900mm

   720x400       70.08  
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

Now I'm back to previous Atom build.

I get some random freezes on boot with Tronsmart Ara X5 plus. When it boots everything is fine though tested video playback and gaming. I think Cherry Trail is simply still not well supported by upstream Linux. The HDMI LPE audio patch is not even in drm-next yet. There's also some issue with power management and CPU frequency scaling.

I do have Tronsmart Ara X5 too (non plus version.) Very disappointing on Windows 10's performance.

Try to make this box more useful with LibreELEC and Linux (Linuxiuam builds).

I've uploaded a custom build 20161214:

Code

- Compiled for Atom X5 or higher (-march=silvermont)
- Uses drm-next kernel with new HDMI audio patch for Cherry Trail / Bay Trail (should work with multi channel PCM now)
- No nvidia/amd drivers
- Updated packages: beetle-psx-libretro, retroarch, mupen64plus-libretro, mesa, glupen64-libretro
- Rebased on latest LE

Thanks for Atom X5 build !!!

Happens to have this one lying around.
(I used to try with your generic builds but it got freeze sometimes. Hope this custom build will do better.)

I'd like to know this how-to too.

Thanks.

Hi,

i've compiled the last pvr.hts plugin on a x86_64 hardware. Unpack and copy in the addons folder. Version number 3.4.10
Public – Google Drive

Thanks for sharing.

This works great.

Thanks for the new build. The updated default skin looks great.

But it seems tvheadend pvr client has broken. I uninstalled and now can't reinstall from repo again.

The problem is that kodi will be holding onto the lirc socket so any keypresses will still happen in kodi.

Otherwise yes, it's possible. We include xdotool in the regular chromium addon.

Thanks for reply.

In that case I think it would be better off to use mini keyboard then.

Hi, just wondering if this can be done within LibreELEC. (In fact, I'm using the Extended build from escalade.)

- I installed LIbreELEC to my mini pc Zotac, which has built-in IR-receiver. Out of the box, I can set Harmony remote to control Kodi.
But on Chrome it does nothing. (And the ir remote still functions within Kodi interface even when Chrome is running full screen.)

- After googling a little bit, I found that in order to use lirc to control Linux applications it involves using lircrc (or maybe xdtool).

- So my question is: would it be possible to configure lircrc within LibreELEC in order to get IR remote to control Chrome?
If this can be done within LibreELEC, I will try to learn more about lircrc how-to.

Thanks.

Probably, but create a separate thread because it's not specific to this build.

Thanks. Will do.

BTW, another question about pulseaudio.
- When running Chrome, I notice sometimes if I switch back to Kodi (by pressing alt+tab) there is an option added to sound output, that is, PUlSE: intelHDMI.
- If I choose this sound output it appears I can get sound both from Kodi and Chrome simultaneously, which I think this is perfect for my use (I don't have to close Chrome in order to get sound from Kodi.)
- So the question is: can I get this sound configure (force Kodi and Chrome to use pulseaudio at the same time) from the start?

I understand that Kodi have to use ALSA for audio pass-through. But this is not necessary for me.

Edited: I just found a way to get sound configuration I wanted.
- I set audio output @Pulse Default, Bluetooth Audio
- When boot to Kodi I just run a script (with keymap): pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,0
- Then I can switch back and forth between Kodi and Chrome (http://Youtube.com/tv) and always get sound output from both.
