Maybe you didnt understand. Let me rephrase for you.
Coreelec is a fork of libreelec. Which means that it want to add features which libreelec developers wont add or are currently low priority to add.
So instead of asking here of anything new, why dont you ask Coreelec team, what features they want to add so bad that they fork libreelec and gone to a hell of a lot of trouble. Also, this is libreelec for khadas vim fork by balbes150 and not libreelec forum. Why would anyone want to discuss libreelec here.
If Coreelec is so great and all powerful, why did you seek other builds?
In open source world, nothing is perfect. You just have to find the best and make use of it? Didnt like it? Want more features? Fix it or wait for a fix.
The Coreelec team forked because the Libreelec team were making decisions which made the AMLogic chips underperform and they refused to accept fixes to those issues. It seems that any Libreelec build will face those issues with the VIM’s and so it will involve reinventing the wheel to fix them. That seems like a hell of a lot of wasted effort when contributing to that project would be productive.
The self same question was asked on the Libreelec forum by another user to a similar response.
There is no preaching going on here - just genuine questions about what is on offer and why. I know that bables150 has done great work on the VIM1 Libreelec builds in the past - but things have moved along and like it or not Coreelec is currently where it is at with regard to running Kodi on AMLogic box.
If there is a genuinely better option on offer from Bables150’s Libreelec then thats great, but if it hasn’t got the latest optimizations for the Khadas dTV board rolled by afl1 then its a none runner. Bables150 couldn’t answer my question on that.
The only attitude seems to be coming my way. Shame.
I can’t understand the tone here?! Coreelec is a good idea, but doing fork of the fork … and to argu the guy who did almost everything different from the official Khadas images is not helping! balbes150’s alpha build of Leia is more reliable than last build of “official” Coreelec! What the f**k - coreelec official?! Are you guys serious? I spend this Sunday to play with Coreelec only because of your dispute here and i completely lost my time for nothing! One suggestion from my side: use some know how from balbes150 for the next coreelec release!
Coreelec 8.90.1 on VIM2 is working as reliably as the mature Jarvis and Krypton builds running on my other boxes. It runs the dTV almost flawlessly. As it is at the moment I would accept it as a finished build for day to day use.
This is just noise at this stage since its not contributing to anything productive. there seems a tendency among users and developers to fly off the handle at the slightest provocation and its ugly and offputting.
Stefan as to your vspecific problem I told you that you would have to run the InstalltoInternal twice to get it to work and you seem to have ignored that advice, but also that if it failed it was up to you because the developers specifically advise against using it and will not offer support for those who run into problems. It is intended to run off USB or SD card and it is a favour to people such as myself that they reintroduced it - at my own risk to use.
I wish that I could have used a mature Krypton build from the start and avoid all of this shit - but the lack of support for the dTV card forced me to go Alpha Leia. I am more than grateful to the Coreelec team who were the only ones to grasp the nettle and get this dTV card fully supported outside of Android - they deserve respect for their hard work.
Choose whatever build works for you and live with your choice with gratitude to the developer that worked for you.
The Libreelec settings addon works for me and is preinstalled. Sometimes it can crash the system if it is called when there is media playing. It is a good idea to only run the Libreelec addon with no media playing at the same time. The latest Coreelec 8.90.1 no longer suffers from this problem on my system.
On all firmware above “Libreelec_KVIM_KODI-18_20180417” can not install “pvr iptv simple client”.
I had to return to “Libreelec_KVIM_KODI-18_20180417”.
Channels open and switch instantly and on top of the playlist.
On the firmware below “Libreelec_KVIM_KODI-18_20180417” channels open behind the playlist.
If these are close versions (arm->arm), you can use the standard upgrade procedure, through the file.“tar.” It is described in the WIKI on the LE website.
In the new version, sometimes the audio have problem making it loading media forever. When I try reboot, it shuts down, instead of reboot. I tried reboot through telnet when that happens, same result, shutdown instead of reboot.
