I can't find the option to boost the central audio channel. Where is it?

Latest builds (h & g for sure) on tx5 pro: sometimes, after at least 40 mins of playback it stops for buffering and audio goes out of sync. Is there a log for this?

Tx5 pro: refresh library at startup doesn't work.

The 32 bit version is limited as international settings. I see english only. Is it normal?

32-bit/
Just copy img.gz into update folder and re boot box
Note on 32-bit build: If you want to switch to 32-bit build, you need to clean your addon cache first:

Code

rm -rf /storage/.kodi/addons/packages/*

, after updating force refresh every repository you have and reinstall all binary addons. If you don't know what it is, you probably don't want to switch or shouldn't do it - make a clean install instead. The same note applies to restoring backup from 64-bit to 32-bit build and vice versa.

By the way, do you find this box is really slow loading thumbnails & fanart using LE SD Card version?
I've installed to internal because this box had the slowest loading of the above i have ever seen on any box I've tested.

I don't know how to do that. So I would make a clean install. Can I do it as I wrote above?

I usually don't use the thumbnails views, but I found the box a little bit slow when it created video library the first time. I can try to test if you tell me what to do.

I'm using the 64-bit version on my TX5 PRO 905X by running it from sd card.
If I clean my SD card and setup it to install the 32-bit version, can I skip the toothpick step? Is now my box already set to boot from SD first?

My first S905X Chip box arrived today and here is the drama i had to get LE on SD Card to work.

TX5 PRO Amlogic S905X 2GB+16GB

1. Toothpick method: disconnect the power supply, insert card/drive, use a toothpick to push reset button and connect the power while holding the button. Wait until LibreELEC logo appears and release the button. Used With and Without Device tree.
Failed with just the boot animation and no further.

2. Recovery method: boot into Android, insert card/thumb drive and choose Reboot to recovery.(Had to use an APP)
Your box should boot into LibreELEC.
Failed same result as above.

3. Factory recovery method : Tried to boot into recovery without any SD Card inserted.
This box just displays the boot animation and stays there. Failed same result as above.
It is a bit of a worry this box does not go into recovery using the toothpick method.
I haven’t tried TWRP Recovery as this box has a working OTA (Shock Horror)

4. Recovery method (take 2nd variant): if you have "Update" app pre-installed open it, insert SD card with LE/connect USB drive, and choose any ZIP file in the app for update. Your box should reboot to LE.
This method "Worked"

Please be aware that you cannot just put the Fake ZIP on the SD Card that has LE on it and UPDATE via the Update App.
Something is not right regarding update using normal recovery methods i have used in the past with S905 Chip.

EDIT: UPDATED TO LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0-devel-20161202213923-r23473-g8a53869.img , No issue updating.

I have the same box. The toothpick method works (it worked for me) if you downgrade your android firmware to 05/08/2016 version (I had the October version before).
Can you explain better the fake.zip method? I didn't understand it.

Hi,
you're right, DaVu.
Sorry, I've been away a few days and I couldn't answer.

I solved by making a backup with OE and restoring it after a clean Libreelec installation.
Bye

Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade my RPi 1 from OE 6.0.3 by downloading .tar file and putting it into update folder but after rebooting I receive the "check size failed" error.
What should I do?
Thanks
