LibreELEC (Krypton) 8.0 preview builds continue with v7.90.008 containing Kodi v17.0-beta5 which is focussed on bug fixing (including a major bug in v17b4 which is why we skipped it). This release also uses the Linux 4.8 kernel which is our intended kernel for the lifetime of v8.0 builds. Changes in v7.90.008 include: Fix Amlogic default audio device patch to allow external USB audio devices Fix sshd config and remove user/group permisssion hacks on /storage Fix connman so verbose output does not show buildserver paths Fix Generic build installer visual issues and remove unused menu options Fix ffmpeg issues connecting to TLS 1.2 streams Fix vmware and...

LibreELEC (Krypton) 8.0 preview builds continue with v7.90.007 containing Kodi v17.0-beta3 which is starting to focus less on big changes and more on bug fixing. Amlogic audio also makes a leap forwards thanks to @kwiboo and @longchair from the RasPlex and Plex Inc. teams completing Amlogic kernel changes that allow hardware auto-detection capabilities in Kodi to “just work” without hacks. The LibreELEC settings add-on now has a function to submit essential log files to a paste website and display the URL shortcode.

LibreELEC (Krypton) 8.0 preview builds continue with v7.90.006 containing Kodi v17.0-beta2.

Changes in v7.90.006 include: Fix root ownership of /storage during netboot Fix power-off behaviour on iMX6 (CEC ignore TV off) Fix power-off behaviour on WeTek Hub Fix kmsg text before boot splash on Odroid C2 Fix advancedsettings.xml options on WeTek Hub/Core/Play Update Raspberry Pi Linux and Kodi support patches Update core builds to Linux 4.7.4 Update to...

LibreELEC (Krypton) 8.0 preview builds continue with v7.90.005 which is now available for all build projects. It contains Kodi v17.0-beta1 code, so yes, upstream Kodi has entered Beta while we remain in Alpha. Krypton for Intel/AMD x86 and Raspberry Pi devices is solid while iMX6 and Amlogic device support has progressed, but falls short of where we’d like to be for Beta. The changes in v7.90.005 include: Fix support for 5GHz networks on Realtek 8812au wireless devices Fix inclusion of distro specific config.txt on Raspberry Pi devices Fix installer USB/SD label to ‘LIBREELEC’ instead of random text Update to Kodi v17.0 beta 1 Update...
