Khadas Edge - LibreELEC

Edge
#8

DRIVER_ADDONS_SUPPORT=“yes” in my build
I just didn’t add crazycat since it couldn’t build.
This is based on the older 4.4 kernel, not LibreELEC master based on the 5.x kernel where most things aren’t working yet.

@mo123 Perfect I thought you were using the master branch!
I tried to activate manually and I get construction errors.
Thank you.

Hi
I used Libreelec image from Libreelec web, it works only from SD and i have noticied audio delay in all videos (local an online), and very low SD speed.

Does this build has same problem?

#11

hello, everything is stable in this sense, I personally checked :slightly_smiling_face:
all Libreelec assemblies boot from sd, fact

#12

New LibreELEC build
https://mega.nz/file/AmpBgbyR#eR1fISfGG9sbr-C7yhkp1bq5RpJ3eGo697cuqIdnHUo

Please check if it boots correctly and if audio works correctly since there are new ALSA audio patches.

RC control not works

#14

To be honest, the stock remote is not the best solution for TV boxes, but maybe someone else needs an IR remote.
the radio-controlled remote control is much more convenient!

It looks cheerful on eMMC, of ​​course, the most important thing is whether Rockchip can handle 4K / 60fps, is it very finicky in this sense… I’ll let you know! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

See you later

#18

Well, 4k60 works, but otherwise the same issues as always:

  • wired ethernet not working (what is the problem?)
  • fan not working (never mind, it’s noisy anyway)
  • terrible audio issues with Dolby Digital pass-through

So, back to the RPi4 as a working Kodi device (at least at FullHD). And back to the drawer with the Edge… :frowning:

#19

may be only for u :wink: ?

for me wired etherned works

terrible audio issues with Dolby Digital pass-through

yes something broken - your right
but same not really needed :wink:

#20

Maybe. I don’t know. It does not get configured by DHCP and I have not tested manual configuration. Other distributions “just work”. (And some other LibreELEC images too.)

Unfortunately, the sound is the crucial factor for me. I do not insist on 4k at the moment, but I do insist on surround sound. That is what I need now.

#21

Hi, what assembly are you referring to? There are three of them))

I suggest leaving the assembly from mo123 and implementing it for all RK3399 configurations from Khadas!

:slightly_smiling_face:

#22

With “assembly”, you mean the available LibreELEC builds? I have tested and reported in the other thread (LibreELEC for Khadas EDGE (RK3399)). The images from @balbes150 worked (mostly) well with wired ethernet and some also with the (rather noisy) Khadas fan, but there was no support for 4k. The sound (and video) issues varied a lot. I had probably best experience with the January build as I have reported: no issues with scrambled noise and seemingly smooth playback even with the most problematic videos, but still occasional audio drop-outs. But I am afraid the dropouts may have lead to lost audio/video synchronization too, after some time - I have not tested everything thoroughly.

#23

LibreElec is using mainline kernel so currently you won’t be able to get 4k support on it yet.

@balbes150 used to maintain it but he doesn’t maintain it anymore so the only person who maintains it is @mo123 unless khadas team plans to maintain it themself

#24

Your information is not entirely correct, the LE project is working, you can verify this on the official website, there is also a stable version for Edge on Kodi 18.9 with the old kernel, it is quite working, in parallel, LE Nightly is working on the new kernel, Kodi19 (Beta).
