Nightly builds (NEW)

btw, I have disabled the new updates notifications on the CE settings but I do still get the popups sometimes.

You can only try with a more powerful power adapter for the box. If that does not work, only powered USB hub will solve the problem.
If possible try to find/borrow any USB 3.0 HDD with it’s own power supply to see how that behaves on your box.

This is a feature, not a bug.
In Nightly Builds You will always get the popups

Thanks.
I had the nighty updates set to manua, and notifications popped-up that overlayed the screensaver. This isn’t optimal to avoid burn-ins. I do use a kodi addon screensaver and not the default one, and it was suggested that’s why it overlayed. To avoid that, I disabled the notifications in settings, but they still seem to pop-up sometimes.

Yes.
You have to accept this developer decision and You can find a lot of posts about this feature in the forum

I’ll do some reading. Thanks.
A setting called “Show Update Notifications” that can be turned on and off seems pretty straight forward to me, but if you say it isn’t meant to disable them, then I’m curious to find out what it does.
FWIW I use nightlies and often update too. But not automatically. I usually look the changelog first to be sure it’s something that seems like it might have some benefit for me. e.g if it’s a bunch of fixes for rPI that I don’t use, I see no reason to need to go through the download/reboot/install process.
I also make sure there aren’t hysterical reports of issues. Unlike some of the people here, I’m not that comfortable with futzing around with linux and SSH.

Reading this bit Update notifications
So I need to have it on Auto in order to switch off notifications? Seems a bit counter intuitive. Or I guess this means it will just download updates automatically without prompt, and tell me to update when ready.
Perhaps an info blob at the bottom could make it more clear.
Was not aware this was a well discussed feature. Thanks again.

hello,

i’m using nightly on KVIM 3, on SD card and when playing a 4K HDR file i got a black screen with below error in log:

Nightly 20200313
1 CEC problem. Turning on TV makes turning on my S905X2 (Ugoos X2 Cube) as well. In LibreELEC (other boxes) switching source on TV made my box on. Can You fix this? Turning off TV without turning off box working well.
2. Sleep/wake issue. Chooseing sleep from power menu makes my TV box sleep. I cannot wake it back. Any advice?
3. Not working 5 GHz wifi. May it not CE issue, but im not sure.

I moved from LE and mostly im glad of working CE. Despite described issues.

Thanx a lot! :slight_smile:

Turn off cec adapter in settings and see if problem persists.

@bazzle
As CEC is off in settings still turning on TV makes turning on box.

I have USB RF dongle for my remote which working well. But while box is turned off, i cannot turn on using power button pn remote. It seams USB is off. As i wrote earlier its impossible to wake up box.

hello all!
I loaded CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.2-nightly_20200313-Generic.img.gz into my thumb drive to install on my tictid tx6 plus box. I used the sm1_s905x3_4g_1gbit.dtb and renamed it dtb.img per the instructions. Upon booting my device, i first got a green screen with thumb drive on 3.0 port. Then I let it boot normally, installed my thumb drive and used an app to “reboot update.” I got
Filesystem corruption has been detected
To prevent an automatic repair attempt continuing"
message but could not see it fully since the resolution was not optimal.
Any suggestions on a fix besides a new thumb drive? thanks!

Can you reload a standard image ie. 9.2.1 and try again instead of nightly?

Just out of curiosity: when will the next stable release be released?

There is no ETA.
Be patient and wait.

Thank you for such a kind answer.

We never give ETA’s but we are exploring releasing a stable but there is still a couple of outstanding issues, mainly the video slowdown with HEVC content is causing the biggest concern.

Most of the devs haven’t been able to reproduce it but we have seen multiple reports of it.

thanks…
