    After about 30 mins of perfect image playback, on-screen faces will turn greyish/greenish and Horizontal Red tearing lines start appearing.

    Pressing Stop and Playing the same FTA TV stream again immediately fixes it for about 30mins.

    same device same problem with 1080i live tv channels.

    Did not install 8.2.4.1 image yet, but all versions of libreelec I have tested had the same problem.

    AS workaround I use Android apps on this device.

    Its not a heating problem - I use active cooling.

    I know we are talking about alpha Versions

    just some feedback

    tested 8.90.5 and the devel Version for Wetek play 2

    Hardware Wetek play 2 and Mecool KI pro

    Dvbviewer Media Server 2.04

    Digibit R1 Satip AXE

    couldn´t get both devices in stable conditions with dvbviewer client.

    It simply stops randomly working saying channel can not be shown.

    Looks like there are network problems. Same channels running without issues on other devices or with last official libreelec Version.

    Tried with tvheadend 4.3 on KI pro then.

    Worked but issues with EPG ( very slow or not there ).

    After Restart this morning TVheadend Server not starting anymore.

    Also some problems with downloading addons like mono.


    On wetek play 2 installed Raybuntus last Version for now

    On Mecool KI pro I will try again.

    Is there a link to 8.90.3 somewhere because as reported as "running fine" ?

    With dvbviewer client live tv is unuseable atm. Librespot has problem also

    randomly channels can´t be opened.

    same livetv backend configuration is fine in spmc and libreelec 8 last offical Version

    I like and use the librespot addon often.

    Recently I changed the libreelec Version on my M8spro+ Android box and installed 8.90.4 (9.0).

    The librespot Version from Libreelec repo is 9.0.1.109

    But this Version does not work anymore. It is seen as available device if I start Spotify on my handy. It tries to connect for some seconds but doesn´t.

    In kodi.log it says that it can not load value="hdmi:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=0"

    WARNING: CAddonSettings[service.librespot]: failed to load value "hdmi:CARD=AMLM8AUDIO,DEV=0" for setting ls_o

    So I went back to version 8.2.110 from backup. This version is still doing the job!

    this is my alsa device :

    Can you fix this please.

    No - I am not shure because that was the Information when I had plugged it in my Win7 laptop.

    lsusb - says :

    no wifi and no bluetooth in libreelec config tool

    a working Combi Wifi/bluetooth dongle would be nice because most of the tv boxes have only 2 USB slots .

    edit : Your are right - it is 8723BU. My fault - Windows laptop info was wrong.. See : Install it on Raspberry Pi

    wrxtasy

    Have a Digibit R1 with Satip Software from Perexg and DVB Recording Service plus standalone Boxes with TvHeadend
    Its running fine, no issues with libreelec and Full HD liveTv Channels. Only the new Mecool M8s pro L has this problem.

    And the strange thing is, even without active cooling the device is doing fine if I use Android and Kodi.

    Don´t think its a hardware fault, because it should have the failure always.

    I tested for days now, with different libreelec versions and different TV Screens, different settings, different Live TV Service..

    I assume a bug in the GPU driver or dtb.img. As I said I went back to android for now with this device.
    I am a retiered IT professional. Its driving me nuts if I can´t find the bug.. But 3 days/nights for a China box are enough..

    techguru

    The challenge is to take a cheap China Box, delete the crap, flashing a Custom ROM and having a lot of fun with it.

    Old Notebooks have to much power consumption, NUC is way too expensive.

    I do not understand why there are no proper GPU drivers for S912 chips.

    May be economic interests and piracy themes have influence (thinking of Minix with S912 boxes and OSMC boxes, they won´t sell their stuff anymore if it will run on a 35 euro device) But thats complete off topic..
