Greetings,

Sorry, Iā€™ll investigate and get back to you.

Yours trulyā€¦

I have 19 nightly, will it automatically switch to 19 stable? Or it will stay on nightly tree, and if I want stable I have to specifically download that?

AFAIK it will switch to stable and will stay stable

no, you need to update by stable manually.

like by SSH:

cd .update
wget https://github.com/CoreELEC/CoreELEC/releases/download/19.0-Matrix/CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-19.0-Matrix.tar
sync
reboot

Just tested the final release on a MECOOL KII Pro (S905D) . Everything I tested worked well. Even DVB-S2 with tvheadend.

Notes:

  • Download the generic .img.gz, do not chose your device at dtb, it will take you to 9.2.6
  • Get the dtb.img from the post linked below, do not use the included one, it will result in a black screen
  • For DVB to work install the crazycat drivers from the ā€œservicesā€ addons (did not try media build)

On my X96 Air box on startup the display is being forced into 3D mode (projector) unlike with 9.2.6 which was fine. Can this be disabled?

I guess I know what Iā€™m doing when I get home.

Thanks for getting this going. :grinning:

Can I update from 9.2.6 or must I do a clean install (because its a major version release)? Might be worth adding to the announcement to avoid a flood of questions.

[I see from previous replies here that I can update. Updated my Odroid N2 with no issues!]

Both methods are possible, clean install is preferred.
Kodi Leia addons arenā€™t compatible with Kodi Matrix.

Sorry, can you tell what versions you have? In my case, both YouTube and Netflix donā€™t work anymore

You need the matrix netflix repo and for youtube you may have to use the devel repo (for youtube you can check the kodi forum). Both work here.

Ok, Netflix works, but YouTube does not, it even throws error when I click Search

Iā€™m confused by the release notes. Does the update support an x96 mini / S905W box? If not, do I need to disable auto updates?

Just confirmed that stable youtube is already in 6.8.10+matrix and itā€™s working. Please confirm this is the version you have

This version works fine here.
Had to create my own api key but after that, good to go.

6.8.10+matrix.1 from Kodi addons repisitory. Ok I will look at logs

Youtube throws error:

Search works here. What language you have set? English or something else?

Language is Polish. I removed .sqlite files from /kodion directory and it works. Something messed with search history stored in sqlite, error says something about encoding
