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 vbox driver support for Virtual

Update Samba configuration to improve performance and interoperability

Update main nVidia driver to 367.57

Update Linux kernel to 4.8.4

Update Kodi to v17-beta5

Update Raspberry Pi support patches for Linux/Kodi

Update (align) Linux kernel configurations of various S905 devices

In this build lcdproc configuration has been moved from LibreELEC settings to an installable add-on which can be found in the LibreELEC 8.0 add-on repo.

** REMINDER **

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 Krypton users can update manually using the LibreELEC settings add-on. Jarvis users can update using the older .tar file method.
