[slack] <CvH> thats not really what we need, we have currently a webserver that redirects the downloads to the nearest location by geoip and additional does round-robin
<LEBot>
[slack] <CvH> the trick is that the current approach checks if a file is avaible at the mirror and just delivers the files that are really avaible at these mirrors
<LEBot>
[slack] <CvH> additionally if a mirror drops out for some reason it gets blacklisted and checked later if it works again
<LEBot>
[slack] <CvH> partly doable with nginx/haproxy afaik but the logic that it checks for the availability of the files is missing
<LEBot>
[slack] <CvH> maybe I am wrong 🙂 but didn't found a good howto either
<LEBot>
[slack] <CvH> not really a google friendly subject

[slack] <chewitt> we use mirrorbits, but similar concept
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> as does Kodi, OSMC, and many others
<oblikoamorale>
I was under the impression CvH isn't happy with mirrorbits and is looking at alternatives
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> it’s still better than the woefully out of date mirrorbrain
<oblikoamorale>
so uh seeing as mirrorbits is not updated either, I wonder if big users are maintaining their own forks

[slack] <chewitt> we used mirrorbrain in the past, but it required an Apache2 module compatible with an ancient version and Ubuntu 14.04
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> so eventually we binned that and switched to mirrorbits which was newer
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> there is knowledge on it among ‘friends’ which is always useful

[slack] <CvH> mirrorbrain is long dead, mirrorbits is also dead but works better for now 🙂 but still its a pain in the butt
<LEBot>
[slack] <CvH> I am just interested to migrate to something else that is actually maintained and does not require the current workarounds and nightly prayers that it behaves nicely.
<LEBot>
[slack] <CvH> would be nice if nginx or haproxy could do it, but tbh didn't found anything yet
<oblikoamorale>
captain obvious here: I've done cursory search on the subject, and it looks like there's either fixing mirrorbits to suit your needs better, or writing new solution from the scratch. breathing some new life into mirrorbits feels "easier" :)
<LEBot>
[slack] <CvH> it works okay`ish, its just I would rather aboned it for some "proper" solution - if there is one
<LEBot>
[slack] <CvH> even reimplementing the functions into a bashscript is likely doable, but then Its just excahning the source of the pain instead of fixing it :D

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/21845 so now I found out that switching to correct color space actually matters for HDR content :) I'm wondering why similar patch is included for RPi, but is a firm no-go for Generic

chewitt: I just _almost_ got your LibreELEC-AMLMX.arm-10.88.0-box.img to work on a Minix X8-H Plus. Is that device supported? If not, do you want to support that device in the future? And if so, do you need help?

[slack] <chewitt> Everything in that image is experimental and largely the work of @xdarklight who pokes Meson8* kernel topics
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> All I’ve done is some packaging to stuff his kernel into an LE image
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> The build process is fine but vendor uboot from 2011 is an archeology expedition so the boot process is still to be explored
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> Any improvements to boot or packaging are welcomed.. fork me branch, make changes and flag them to me so I can pick or refine them
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> Any improvements to kernel bits, eg dts changes should go via pull-request to @xdarklight kernel repo so he can merge them .. or flag to me and I can help that
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> NB: right now AMLMX is way to rough to think about releases/support.. but the more folks who play with it and contribute something the better it will get :)

Is there some overview of what features are still missing for it to be considered "not rough"? Since my board doesn't boot properly, I've no clue what the state of it would be if it did.

On the device itself is a LE9.0 legacy image by @datrh (thread #12155) which seems to work completely fine.
<tsegers>
The AMLMX image boots all the way into LE from USB, systemd reports all services going up fine, it's just that HDMI output is stuck on a distorted green version of the LE splash screen. Distorted and green isn't great, but it's better than black nothingness.
<tsegers>
It's either a DTB issue, which I should be able to fix since I have an old DTB that works, or something completely different, in which case I wouldn't know where to start (missing driver? kernel params? something else?)
<LEBot>
[slack] <chewitt> It’s a code issue, and known

CvH: the patch you're suggesting applies Colorspace connector tuning for DRM Prime renderer only. after rebasing I managed to run it, but DRM Prime renderer just doesn't work on Generic build. lrusak's recent patch touches GBM, so I expect more luck with it tomorrow :)
