LibreELEC (Krypton) 8.0 preview builds continue with v7.90.004 which is now available for all build projects. Krypton support for imx6, WeTek Play/Core and various Amlogic devices is still being refined so do not expect perfection: we need our supporting community builders and code contributors to refocus their efforts from improving Jarvis to improving Krypton. The changes in v7.90.004 include:

PASSTHROUGH AUDIO
In Kodi Krypton passthrough audio requires VideoPlayer to use the audio clock of the source material as its time reference. If you enable “sync playback to display†Kodi is forced to use the connected panel frequency for its clock reference so passthrough audio is automatically disabled. Older versions of Kodi had a mode that duplicates (or drops) source audio to keep the audio clock in sync with the panel but this hack has been removed in Krypton. This is mentioned because we see reports of “passthrough does not work in Alpha builds!†and legacy “sync playback to display†configuration is the main cause.
AUTO UPDATE
LibreELEC v7.90.xxx Alpha builds will update automatically to future Alpha, Beta, and the Final 8.0 release if auto-update is enabled. In a clean installation auto-update is defaulted to off. LibreELEC operates a 24-hour ‘canary’ period between release files being posted to the download page and the release being available via auto-update.
MANUAL UPDATE
If you are running LibreELEC v7.90.002 or v7.90.003 manual update can be performed from within the settings application. Click “check for updates†and the v7.90.004 update is listed. There is no need to download and copy the update file over to the box.
** CAUTION **
Alpha builds exist for hands-on testing not a hands-off experience. If you run Alpha builds you must be willing to report issues via the forums and engage LibreELEC and Kodi developers in hunting bugs. If you have no idea what a debug log is or “wife acceptance factor†is critical, these builds are not for you.
If you would like to participate in Alpha testing please make a backup and store it somewhere safe (off-box) before updating. Your failure to make a backup is not our problem.
LibreELEC (Krypton) 8.0 preview builds continue with v7.90.005 which is now available for all build projects except iMX6 which is expected in the next 2-3 days. It contains Kodi v17.0-beta1 code, so yes, upstream Kodi has entered Beta while we remain in Alpha. Krypton for Generic x86-64 and Raspberry Pi devices is solid, while iMX6 and Amlogic device support has progressed but fallsx 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

** CAUTION **
Preview builds exist for hands-on testing not a hands-off experience. If you run preview builds you must be willing to report issues via the forums and engage LibreELEC and Kodi developers in hunting bugs. If you have no idea what a debug log is or “wife acceptance factor†is critical, these builds are not for you.
If you would like to participate in preview testing please make a backup and store it somewhere safe (off-box) before updating. Your failure to make a backup is not our problem.

LibreELEC (Krypton) 8.0 preview release continues with v7.95.1 release available for all build projects except Amlogic aarch64 devices. We have now forked and frozen the release branch on GitHub; which means from this point we allow updates to add-ons but will refuse any new feature additions, major build-system changes, and all software package bumps to the release branch unless changes resolve a known problem or critical security issue. This approach assures stability in the 8.0 release branch and continuity of Alpha testing. LibreELEC v7.95.1 is based on Kodi Krypton 17.0-RC3.
Amlogic aarch64 projects (WeTek Hub, WeTek Play 2, and Odroid C2) are excluded due to a memory leak issue we are still diagnosing. Although the problem is also present in recent Alpha builds we felt it was inappropriate to release until this is resolved as a Beta release attracts many more user-upgrades from Jarvis installs. Our investigation continues and we hope to start Beta soon.
Changes in v7.95.1 include:
Fix atvclient IR sensor support in Krypton
Fix issues in ATi/Intel drivers (build with DRI3 support but default to DRI2)
Fix window manager (fluxbox) so apps start maximised
Fix numerous sync/timing issues on Amlogic ‘arm’ devices
Fix audio passthrough for JustBoom DAC devices for RPi
Fix use of colour highlighting in systemd log messages
Update pulse-eight CEC adapter support (libCEC 4.0.1)
Update to Raspberry Pi firmware to resolve minor CEC issues
Update to Linux 4.9.3 kernel
Update to Linux support patches for Raspberry Pi
Update to Kodi v17.0-RC3
Update to LibreELEC settings 0.8.7
Add media_build DVB driver support to Generic/RPi/RPi2 projects
Add UDL driver support to RPi/RPi2 projects
Add skin.estouchy package to the LibreELEC add-on repo
LibreELEC (Krypton) 8.0 preview releases continue with v7.95.2 available for all build projects except Amlogic aarch64 devices. LibreELEC v7.95.2 is based upon Kodi Krypton 17.0 final. If no major issues are identified we expect 8.0.0 to be the next release.
Changes in v7.95.2 include:
Fix media_build issues with some IR drivers
Fix an issue with taglib and mp3 streams
Fix TT-S2-3600 DVB device
Update to DVB firmware

AARCH64 MEMLEAK
Amlogic aarch64 projects (WeTek Hub, WeTek Play 2, and Odroid C2) are still excluded from Beta due to a memory leak issue. Although we have not identified the root cause, we have eliminated a number of areas from suspicion and are now focussed on the integration between Kodi and ffmpeg. We have also identified several issues with kernel memory management are are now testing changes to resolve them. If the memleak is fixed before 8.0.0 release we will provide a 7.95.2 build. If it is not fixed before 8.0.0 there will be an Alpha release for aarch64 approx. ~48 hours after 8.0.0 with a Beta for aarch64 once the issue is resolved. The team thanks our aarch64 users for being patient while we work the problem and follow a proper testing and release process.
BOOT PARTITION SIZE
The LibreELEC (Krypton) 7.95.2 image for Generic x86_64 hardware is 216MB so it fits in the 230MB boot partition size limit of older OpenELEC installations without resizing the boot partition or forcing a complete reinstallation.
** CANARY PERIOD **
LibreELEC operates a 24-hour ‘canary’ period between release files being posted for download and the release being available via auto-update. During this time our LibreELEC 8.0 Alpha or Beta preview and LibreELEC 7.0.3 users can use the LibreELEC settings add-on to update manually from within the Kodi GUI. To update from older LibreELEC 7.0 releases (e.g. 7.0.2) or OpenELEC use the .tar file below.
