Updated 9.2.3 to 9.2.4 on Beelink GT1 Ultimate (S912). I noticed 2 things.
The adjust display refresh rate was set to On Start / Stop (I think it was the default option, to get correct video playback, where the length of every frame is equal), but with the update it is set to Off. Is this change made on purpose?
When I’m using the remote control in the menu, it seems like I can see the action first and then the sound. It’s not a big delay, but I think I could hear the sound first in the previous versions.
I’m a bit confused. My S905X box is on .ng nightly (4.9 Kernel), but for upgrade to stable 9.2.4 version there is a warning that I have to use NON .ng version.
Does this mean that I have to back to 3.14 Kernel ?
OK not warning but suggestion on the download page:
Please use the “Amlogic” update file for all S905/S912 devices.
The “Amlogic-ng” update file is only compatible for S905X2/S905X3/S922X/A311D devices currently.
And on listed changes it says: GXL devices supported with 4.9 kernel Amlogic-NG builds.
Since my S905X is a GXL device, which file do I download to update?
I thought you needed the USB power on in order to wake it up? Because as of right now either it’s not going into suspend mode or it’s not being woke up with the remote. Yes I do have the suspend selected in the options.
I don’t understand what that means… I thought NG was a chip and builds with NG in the name would refer to that chip. Can you please state in plain words if S905x could/should use NG builds as well?
You can now use NG builds for gxl devices which are using 4.9 kernel.
GXL(S905X,S905D,S905W,S805X)
Fresh Install recommended.
Or
Current system: Amlogic.arm
Update system: Amlogic-ng.arm
Create /storage/.update/.nocompat to disable compatibility checks and risk a non-booting system.
(Meaning you create an empty file and name it .nocompat and it must be in the .update directory with the .tar you are about to update to)
You may also update to 9.2.4 with the GXL devices and stay on the old Kernel.
I just installed CoreElec on my s912 box this past week, and did the update to 9.2.4. It looks good so far. I’m also using the Netflix (720p), Youtube, and Librespot addons, all still working. It’s a 3/32 mecool m8s pro L.
After new installation of 9.2.4 (old kernel) on x96 mini (s905w, 2g), my WiFi is not working anymore. Not connecting after reach association.
After new installation of 9.2.4 (new kernel ng) on x96 mini, my WiFi is working but issue of green and slow boot up detected.
Sorry for bad English.
Hello
I successfully fresh installed generic version of CoreELEC 9.2.4 on my GTC Freesat with Amlogic 905D android device. I used gxl_p231_2g_dvb.dtb file and the system started OK. My worries are that when I check the system info, the kernel version is still 3.14.Is it true or…just show wrong information. I hope that it will be the new kernel
I thought that default download section is for 9.2
4-ng generic stable build…but is not. Where can I find 9.2.4-ng stable version for my device? I just want to try the new kernel
If I want to update, I have a choice for NG or regular build tar file. But for new installation…no choice, only old kernel build
Thanks in advance.
But then the instruction line on the download page:
“The “Amlogic-ng” update file is only compatible for S905X2/S905X3/S922X/A311D devices currently”
should also list S905X with already running an -ng image, shouldn’t it?
