![]() ![]() If you choose to run AMLGX images on newer hardware expect 1080p maximum output, and minimum interest from developers if you post known issues in the forums.ĪMLGX has a different boot and SD card preparation process, i.e. To avoid negative feedback and user frustration if you have newer Amlogic hardware our recommendation is to run Kodi on the Android install that shipped with the box. As a result, the current drivers work well on older hardware, but bugs prevent 10-bit and 4K output on newer hardware, and users with newer and (on paper) more capable hardware generally have higher expectations and more demanding media. The current upstream driver code attempts to mix both drivers in a common codebase with partial success and does not support multi firmware blobs. Amlogic hardware video decoding requires the “VDEC” driver for older GXBB/GXL/GXM hardware and “HEVC” driver (driver, not codec) for newer G12A/G12B/SM1 hardware, and both generations prefer a later iteration of “multi” decoder firmware. The reason for not formally supporting newer hardware generations is all about hardware decode drivers and user expectations. No formal support for newer S905X2/D2/Y2, S905X3, S922X, A311D devices (read below).No support for SSV6501 and S908CS WiFi chips.No support for internal eMMC install except WeTek Hub/Play2 and SBC boards.No support for updates from older LE releases (clean install is mandatory).To set expectations, here’s the ‘No’ list: There’s also an increased chance of people contributing improvements to smooth the rough edges that exist. If we resume support (with caveats) fewer old boxes end up in landfill. To be crystal clear: the AMLGX image is not perfect, but cost-of-living is high and $0 updates to old hardware are more appealing to users than $150+ purchases of new hardware. With typical 1080p oriented media collections the AMLGX image is quite usable and provides access to the latest Kodi release and compatible add-ons. Multi-Channel PCM and Pass-Through audio works on HDMI up to 7.1 channels. HDR works with HEVC/VP9 media on S905X/D and S912 devices. HEVC playback is okay and seeking recently improved from 2/10 to maybe 7/10. Support for Amlogic S905, S905X/D, and S912 devices resumes. Support for the Orange Pi 3 LTS board is still “work in progress” and there are known problems. We still recommend users avoid investing in nVidia GPUs. Drivers are now mesa/GBM compatible but still have dependencies on Wayland which we do not use, and Kodi has no plan to support proprietary NVDEC decoding (but VDPAU remains). NB: In the last year nVidia has made progress in their support for modern graphics standards. You see graphical glitches on older hardware, e.g.You need support for the Chrome Browser add-on.You can update between the GBM and X11 images without issues. We have added a Generic-Legacy image that runs the older X11 graphics stack used in LE v7-v10. It now supports HDR with recent AMD and Intel GPUs. The Generic image now runs the same GBM/V4L2 graphics stack we have long used with ARM platforms. Configure Kodi as described at the wiki and optionally add hdmi_enable_ekp60=1 to config.txt and enable HDMI UltraHD Deep Color in your TV’s HDMI port configuration to get 4kp60 modes Kodi at RPi4 runs in 4096x2160 instead of 3840x2160 on 4k TVs after fresh installation.50/60fps b64 HW decoding may need force_turbo=1 or core_freq_min=500 in config.txt to avoid AV-sync-issues/skipping.Older LibreELEC installs must make a clean install due to the Python 3 changes since Kodi v19. LibreELEC 10.0 installs will not automatically update, but you can manually update. If you use them make sure to read the paragraphs below. We also reintroduce support for older Amlogic devices (S905, S905X/D, S912). With the new release cycle we add a Generic-Legacy image supporting nVidia cards, Chrome Browser add-on, and older hardware. De release notes voor deze uitgave kunnen hieronder worden gevonden. Verder worden enkele oudere Amlogic-modellen, waarvoor de ondersteuning eerder was komen te vervallen, weer ondersteund. In LibreELEC versie 11 wordt onder meer de overstap naar Kodi versie 20 gemaakt en is er ondersteuning voor add-ons in de Google Chrome browser. Ook kan het op een Raspberry Pi of een aparte mediaspeler worden geïnstalleerd. Deze Linux-distributie is gebaseerd op Kodi en kan een computer tot een volwaardige htpc omtoveren. LibreELEC is ontstaan nadat een groot aantal ontwikkelaars bij OpenELEC wegens onenigheid vertrokken zijn en voor zichzelf zijn begonnen. De ontwikkelaars achter het Libre Embedded Linux Entertainment Center hebben de eerste bètarelease van versie 11 uitgebracht. ![]()
