Thanks for the update

Nothing changed for my boxes, bootloop again. In text mode it working, but if I try start Kodi it reboot instantly.

Still working great with X96 Mini (S905W), thanks for the update. I think this thread should be made sticky, I don’t think it’s getting the proper attention. Cheers!

Thanks for the update everything loks fine here on an s905x and an s905w!

I’ve updated, but still no multichannel LPCM playback on my S905X. I’ve tried the trick of setting the channels to 2.0 and permitting AC3 transcoding to my AV amp, but no output from 5.1 FLAC sources. FLAC sources in 2.0 at varying bitrates from 44.1kHz to 192kHz are all played back fine in PCM passthrough to my amp. I get this notice on the kodi log when I try to play 5.1 audio sources:

Same with Z69

k1 pro working (kernel 4.9) , but don’t recognize internal tuners, only usb ISDB-T. TBS 5520se same problem old kernel (stuck on boot sometimes)

internal tuner k1

@frankviana

My K1 Pro S905D 2GB DDR4 Ram Version Gigbit Ethernet is working fine.

Have you tried changing the drivers? under coreelec tools?

Yes it works well! @kostaman
Our problem is because of the usb in use of the TBS5520SE.
It is certainly the USB port that is causing the problems.
I have the same problems as @frankviana

I don’t understand about “working fine”… internal dvb?

Do you have screenshots?

Yes, but no dvb internal too. TBS 5520se now and old kernel (stuck on boot/crash) - sometimes recognize, sometimes no…

I don’t know how… only don’t appear after tvheadend steps. I did same steps always…

addons program addons drivers (coreelec dvb module drivers) then choose one of the options one at a time, reboot after each change.
you should then see the adapter, not just the folder

After plug 5520se and TBS drivers, the system rebooting (loop)

The blue led (5520se) blinking when reboot.

Using external hub (only rx and tx cable to connect to k1pro), appear tuner and now all working

But If I put TBS 5520se cable directly, the system loop and crash on boot.

No problem except video freezes.
