It should be a little better than the previous build

`A little better` must be an English understatement, it is quite an improvement,

3 cheers for popcornmix and john Cox and a chair for Millhouse.

This stream shows some weird distortion in lower part:

http://lb-at5-live.cdn.streamgate.nl/at5...ylist.m3u8

Since a few days the little icon (watched/unwatched/half played) is missing in most file views.

It is showing in the the movie marked content, but not in folders for which content is not set.

Standard Estuary skin. just updated.

Now crazy # 0212 also still

Crashlog this morning: http://pastebin.com/Evrsp7xb

EDIT:

Problem solved, Have official Libreelec 8.0 on it, now all goes perfectly.
I can not do the stress my wife

Have been able to find something about this phenomenon on the Internet.
The issue seems to be the new kernel (more than 4.8.13?) The DVB C / T stick MN88473 (dvb-demod-mn88473-01.fw) does not seem to work properly.
Under this link I had found help -->> https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread-5537.h...ht=MN88473
Now all is well again.

Is that known? If yes, I am reassured.
But if it does not, maybe someone would like to pass it on to the right place?

Thanks for the attention!

FYI DVB-T (RTL2832) and TVHeadend just working fine here with latest builds

DVB-C but not, and I did not necessarily talk about nightbuilds, official 8.0.0 does not seem to work either on RPI2 no RPi3

This is not supported. 1920x1080 is the max supported resolution.

Thx, is it safe to play though? Can't find a lower quality stream for this channel.

build 302, first time I noticed a yellow flash icon top right corner of the screen when booting up.

Also, BeautifulSoup4 and LifeResolver failed to update just now, could be server down for those though.

Something I always notice from each build to build is that the video calibration is slightly changing every single time, sometimes its more and noticeable other times it's just a few pixels. Since the resolution doesn't change, can't we just use saved calibrated settings? Or why do I have to readjust every time I update?

Yes, it's known that 4.9.y and later kernels are causing some issues - @CvH has been producing builds in an effort to narrow down the regression.

The yellow flash icon means your PSU is not providing enough voltage, which might result in instability.

Possibly, please post a debug log if it continues.

Calibration settings should be saved. If the settings are not being saved then you should open a trac ticket. If this is a new issue then identifying when the problem started will help. Do you have this problem if you simply reboot the system without upgrading?

thanks for the quick answer millhouse. re PSU it's rather weird though as I never had any indication in the past, plus it's the pihut certified one, bundled with the rp3. i just rebooted and right after the rainbow screen i get the flash icon for a second then it disappears. as this was not happening before #302 or any other build before that I guess there are 2 options: 1) the readout is faulty or 2) the PSU just decided today to crap out on me. although Kodi is running fine 24/7 without any problems whatsoever (power wise).

reboot didn't change video calibration
shutting off, unplugging and rebooting did, though. had to recalibrate slightly after that.
also seemed to have lost some other settings, related to UI sounds, was silent before now default sounds are back active.

edit: i just checked the psu with my multimeter and the psu is fine (5.2v stable reading). on this second cold reboot then I was expecting to lose settings again but this time only the lower right corner was slightly changed and I had to make it larger again by a few pixel (not that you would notice but still the blue arrow was not at the exact same position as before the cold reboot), upper left and subtitle position (1025) was the same and no other settings were lost. weird.
