The “DVB drivers from the latest kernel” option also includes the majority of Hauppage drivers which have been recently upstreamed into the kernel, which is great to see!ĭespite the 8.95.1 release number our Rockchip releases remain in an Alpha state with limited support.

To combat this problem we have added simple firewall configurations for Home/Public networks the Home configuration blocks inbound connections from non-private networks, e.g. More people are using VPN services for privacy without realising this exposes SSH/SMB/Web services. The static password for libreelec is present on most/all password dictionary lists so it’s important we start encouraging users to change it (the first-run wizard will prompt when SSH is enabled). The increase is partly due to simple maths our userbase has grown so the number of users inappropriately exposing their HTPC to the internet has also grown.

Updates are moved to their own menu, other options are cleaned up a little.Default firewall (iptables) with simple configurations for Home/Public networks.a lot more updates and fixes, have a look at the detailed changelog.
