You have not added the desired file to the media or incorrectly specified it in the settings. reading /dtb/mxiii.dtb ** Unable to read "/dtb/mxiii.dtb" from mmc 0:1 **

The results of using a media script on Khadas EDGE to enable full-screen video playback in different modes. The overall conclusion - the script adds all required and allows for Khadas EDGE to fully complete solution for working in Armbian.

Update 5.71 . Please note that there are no big changes in these images, for those who already have the system running do not need to update.

I have not yet done such DEB, the process is constantly being finalized (changed and improved) and soon promise official support for decoding v4l-2m2 immediately in the main kernel (and I hope to release the official FFMPEG with such support).

To all. Pay attention. In the new images, the dtb that is specified by default in the image has changed. This is now a file for MX10. Since the MVR9 model is very good, but it is difficult to buy it (now the price has increased dramatically), so I decided to set the default more common variant of dtb. Such an image Armbian for S9xxx yet. There are ready-made images with Libreelec with kernel 4.19 and HW for S905 (used by LIMA) and S912 (used by PANFROST). If you're interested, I can give you a link. I think MPV takes up a bit of space and include all image. KODI Yes, it is possible to take out in a separate package (deb + all dependens) and to put it at will.

If there is an option with Lightdm - it will also be useful. I meant something like that. That is, after installation on the SERVER, you can run the command "service kodi enable" and at subsequent starts OS of the KODI system automatically started. https://github.com/150balbes/LibreELEC.tv/blob/Amlogic-Leia-4.x/packages/mediacenter/kodi/system.d/kodi.service All components remain, we only assign the desired option as the default player (when the user clicks on the video file, the default option is launched).

I tested the rest of the components. Gstreamer-runs and works with all videos, allows you to scale the video on the desktop (I think this mode, zoom capabilities, determines that this player can be used by default in images with DE). The performance of both variants (Gstreamer and MPV) seemed to me the same, but the usability (mouse, scaling, working on the X11 desktop) is clearly in favor of Gstreamer. Play youtube to brouser videos-shows everything in any way. One restriction-Internet channel. But until I found one oddity in the browser when playing video (I think it is associated with errors in dtb), on the model MX10 the browser did not switch to the acceleration mode, I will understand what the reason is. Checked KODI-everything works. I needed to run it properly. By the way, a proposal to finalize the script. It is desirable to add to the installer, the formation of data to create the KODI startup service, that it was possible after installation on the server images, activate the KODI service and get a fully working KODI system. I know that there is a LE (by the way a very good specialized system), but LE has one drawback, it is a closed binary system, in which you can not use standard approaches to install additional packages (deb). Sometimes it is necessary to have KODI and be able to extend the system by conventional means. The overall performance of Armbian in desktop mode, and without HW, is quite good. If you install the system in eMMC, the speed of the system is comparable to a normal home PC. What was missing was the full-screen video capabilities. With the release of your script, this problem is almost solved. By the way, I have long wanted to open a thread for the discussion of universal devices TV box, which can act as a replacement for conventional PCs\laptops and a media centre on the big TV. ie MiniPC + media box = TV box.

Add your version of DTS sources to the source code of the main kernel and build your version of dtb there.

Ver 5.71 (20190115) add module WiFi

Congratulations, great job. Quick check on MVR9 the browser now shows videos in full screen all up to 4K, the only limitation is the channel in the Internet. MPV-also shows everything in full screen KODI - not yet started up, complains that it is impossible to create the GUI (this is not critical, KODI is LE, everything works) I haven't checked the rest yet.

If you give a link and an indication that you need to check, I will try to check it on my models of TV boxes with rk3328 (2\16 and 4\32). By the way , I added a link to this topic in the section where we discuss TV boxes rk3328, there are users with different models. If you need help with different tests, feel free to write instructions on what to do.

Of course everything is erased on the media (SD and USB), if you write a new image to it.

We will test

Update the NEXT 20190114 image . Fixed working with SD card.

What kernel files to use is described in the file " /extlinux/extlinux.conf"

New version 5.69 20190113. Expanded the list of WiFi modules (but I don't know if it will work or not). There is a model ssv6051. It loads fine, but WiFi didn't show up on the MX10. You can try to find the reason yourself. Most likely you need to change the DTB (take the necessary data from the native dtb from Android firmware).

I was very pleased with Gstreamer. ON 4K TV, you can scale any video to any size on your desktop. (now can use any player or write your own). Now I test different videos in MPV Gstreamer KODI and browser on TV 4K (4096х2160), impressive performance RK3399 .

PS it Remains to build the same script for rk3328 and the entire main line of products will have the necessary support.

Installed the script on the system with DE XFCE. The screen resolution is 1920x1080 (1080p), this is the maximum that the current test monitor supports. Test video from MPV-works immediately in full screen without brakes, but there is no possibility to control it (perhaps there are buttons on the keyboard to control ?). Web browser. Tried all the options from 720 to 4K-everything works in full screen without brakes. For 4K-not enough of my channel on the Internet, is buffering, but it has nothing to do with HW video. When trying to start KODI from under XFCE (x11), issued a warning about closing X11, switched to the console, but did not start (with a message about not being able to create a GUI). I'm probably running KODI wrong to x11 ?

Congratulations, good job. I ran the script on Khadas EDGE on the latest SERVER image (5.69 20190111). Installed all components. Launched KODI, it works with HW and plays all my test files (including 4K). In the near future I will check the script in the environment x11 (DE XFCE).

Update LibreELEC ver 20190111 add repo addons aarch64 (link download Yandex and MEGA) https://forum.khadas.com/t/libreelec-for-khadas-edge/3419 Armbian ver 5.69 20190111 kernel 4.4 kernel 5.0.0 (link download Yandex and MEGA) https://forum.khadas.com/t/armbian-for-khadas-edge/3168

Try to run the utility ddbr and create a full backup of the eMMC. If the utility can not read eMMC you need to deal with the parameters of DTB (which are responsible for eMMC). no It is similar, but different manufacturers can change the content (components) themselves.

New image Armbian 5.68 20190110 5.0.0 (NEXT) The version with kernel 5 works only when launched from USB media.

Added images SERVER with kernel 5.0.0 NEXT 20190110. Monitor output (HDMI) does not work yet. On the model MVR9 working wired LAN and UART, it is possible through them to operate the system.
