Hi, any news on the external subtitles bug via smb share on Minix U9?

This Bug exists on any of mine boxes (H96, Beelink GT1,...) ...thinks its a bug in the build at the moment ... i made a workaround til its solved. Change the path for Subtitles from "with video" to a folder on your SD Card on "storage" e.g. "SUBS". Then its works again. Its not the final solution, but i can watch my tv-series from the US with subtitles again.

Take a look in the directory where the .mkv or witchever format the movie is. Is there a folder with subtitles?! Or is there a file with .srt? Cause i had this in 2-3 movies to, with freezes and reboot of kodi. If you delete the srt or the subs folder, you must have a go. As you know there is a bug with subtitles if they are stored within the movie or tv-series folder. If you must download subs, change the path within kodi from "with video" to a folder on your SD-Card, then it works find.

Greetz,

wrxtasy any chance for a fix to the external subtitles over SMB that make LE crash?

Try to set the downloads folder for subs from "with video" to a folder on your sd card. I made a folder "subs" and set this on in settings as standard save point for the subs. This workaround works for me, since a solution is coming.

Did anyone find a dtb.img file for the Beelink GT1 Ultimate which allows the full 3Gb RAM to be seen without anything else going bust?

I mean mine is working fine with 2Gb, but I would increase the buffer sizes if I had 3Gb available.

dtb.img.zip This works for me with the latest Builds from kzaq.

Thks for your clean compile.

Do you think that a S912 box (like Beelink GT1ult...or other) can,or could play 3D mkv files ? Or this is a final limit of hardware...?

I'v read your nice post about all "Choosing a S905 / S905X / S905D / S905W / S912 box guide" and " START HERE - Pick the Right Kodi Box (updated February 2018)" and your post "All about - > 3D"....

Thks for your expertise.

Best regards

Hi,

Cheers,

No problem on my Beelink GT1 3GB with the latest build.

Did you try to make a fresh install ?

Jep ... make a totally fresh install... will look for the error log tomorrow, if there is something suspicious

Hi,

I installed your build and everything works fine besides the subtitles. If i wan to load them, i takes ca. 1 minute before they appear (bsplayer, opensubtitlrs, subscene) and if i load them screen freezes ca 1 minute, than go back to main menu. If i change the folder for the subs to the local SD card, instead „with the video on my server“ its been loading and displayed. If a tvshow still has subs saved on my server, it shows the same freeze behavior. On my S905 and the „normal“ S912 Kzaq build everything is loaded fine and displayed. I have a beelink ultimate 3 gig.

Sorry it took this long to reply.

you have to log in to SSH and type

Code

reicast-joyconfig.py 

and follow the instructions, after all of that you get the results and you have to copy them to a .cfg file.

e.g. /storage/.config/reicast/pad.cfg

and then modify the /storage/.config/reicast/emu.cfg to point to this configuration and the device id.

An easier way if you have an Xbox pad is to just notice the device ID and change it in /storage/.config/reicast/emu.cfg

Code

evdev_device_id_1 = x 

(where x is the device id you got from running reicast-joyconfig.py)

thank you for workaround. Will test it tomorrow. After Easter Holiday

UPDATE: Work like charm, after changing the ID in emu.cfg - THANKS!!!!!!

Hi niabi or someone who had the same issue. I have the 1.8.4 running on my s905x. Everything works like charm, except the Dreamcast Emu. I've the bios and all as .cdi files games. But when I start a game, only the screen where you can change the date/time appears and I can do anything. Nothing is responding to my controller inputs (xbox360). Do I miss something? Thx for help.

What box are you using ?

can you SSH to the box and do :

Code

dmesg | paste
cat /storage/.emulationstation/es_log.txt | paste
systemctl status emustation | paste
journalctl -r | paste

and send me the links

i would ssh to the box, but don’t know the ip Adress... but nevertheless, i installed a extNFS Filesystem Tool from Paragon on my MAC and could now read/write the ext Partition of the SD Card and put a rom in NES Folder and bootet the card in my 905x 2GB new and than everything worked fine.

V1.8.5 Released!

Release 1.8.5 with Sx05RE settings in ES · shantigilbert/Sx05RE · GitHub

I was donated a S905x box by ts-911 , and I can continue working on Sx05RE! THANK YOU!

This version now includes a simple settings menu inside ES where you can select the core of many of the emulators, but note that some cores are not installed by default (like Mame2010) so if you choose a core that is not installed nothing will happen.

You can now also choose what starts at boot, ES, Retroarch or Kodi! no more messing with SSH!

It also includes a way to completely reset the system in case you run into some problems, but please be careful! this will reset all configurations to default.

All the libretro cores have been updated to the latest version as well as Advance mame

Anyways as always, enjoy!

Hi there,

wrote the image on a SD-Card, but after the controller installation it hangs on the ES Screen loading. Goes shortly black and then comes the ES Screen with loading (like a boot loop), where normally comes "Cant found no images". So I can't do a ssh on the box. Is there a quick workaround to fix it?!

Greetz,

J.

Quote from niabi

Yes the update only Kernel and System, storage is basically all created at runtime/user created stuff

Ah ok, then my manually copying your new files from 1.8.4 works. Thanks for this important info. So i can do updates without putting in .update folder, if the "flash" space is too low.

Quote from niabi

I am not sure if this can be done

what version where you running before? 8.3?

Another option is to do a backup of Kodi and then restore it when you re install? you can also copy the whole /storage directory and restore it.

hi,

i was on your last think 1.8.2. I made a test yesterday. Cloned my sd card and wrote your img on another empty card. After that i take the whole files on "Flash" from the new sd card and copied all files (system, kernel, img)to the "Flash" on my old sd card. And it worked. The old sd card bootet normaly and in kodi it says 1.8.4. I am right that the UPDATES are only in files KERNEL and SYSTEM?!?! And these are the only NEW files? Cause if i updated the right way and put the update file in .updates, on the screen always comes the message that he is copying KERNEL AND SYSTEM.

Greetings,

J

Just place the img.gz, but please make a backup of your SD before you update I am not 100% this will go without a problem. it shouldn't as not many things on LE have changed from 8.2 to 8.3 but you never know.

Hello niabi,

this seems to work BUT I ran into another problem, that the "flash" partition is to small for update. The installer says that there is no place, to end the update. If I look I see that Flash ist 100% full. Is there a chance to resize it OR can I only manual install the system and kernel file via copy?

Greetz,

J.

Quote from DarzLir

hmmm etc/fstab?

editing says that

Code

Read 0 lines (Warning: No write permission) ]

So is impossible to edit via ssh at least

This is what i meant, there are parts you have write rights to change things and on some you havent ... so you can only test the code i send you by ssh your box and copy it into the shell, but if you reboot your box, you must do it again,

Just installed this on a Minix U9, everything's working except audio passthrough.

Since my receiver don't support HDR I have to connect the Minix directly to my TV, and then I'm using an optical cable to my receiver.

And the sound is working in Kodis GUI. I have three audio devices to choose from in "Audio output device" See below.

But down in passthrough, the audio device is greyed out, and I can't choose, HDMI is pre-chosen and I get no sound at all.

Just for the hell of it, I booted the Minix into Android and launched Kodi from there, and the only audio track available was "android audiotrack" on both regular audio device and passthrough device, and from there 5.1 passthrough is working!

I've also made sure not to enable Sync to display, since I know that disables the passthrough.

How can I get 5.1 passthrough working in Libreelec using an optical cable, since it working in Android on the same hardware it should work in Libreelec as well? Any ideas?

Thanks!

Have you reboot your box after changing these settings?! Sometimes i´ve to do it. Try select on picture 1 the HDMI output.

Hi,

to the mounting problem i found these. But i ve not tested yet. But i will, cause i have my roms also on a linux Network Server. This is a string for the FSTAB - so its stays connected after a reboot. Hope this helps IF cifs is installad on libreelec :o

Quote from niabi
