[+] Getting Hexstring... May take some time...

Another new string maybe? I'm not sure how I would find that..

This is on a pi0 but I had the same error on a pi2 as well.

Looking at the two line numbers mentioned it must be the HS_MODE check that is failing.

if [ $HS_MODE -eq 3 ]
elif [ $HS_MODE -eq 4 ]

Added a little echo check (echo "HS_MODE is $HS_MODE") just before those lines and got:

[*] set up patch now () ...
HS_MODE is

HTH!

Hi,
first: which command did you run? and which OS did you use for running my script?

Can you please offer the output from:

xxd $START_ELF | grep -Ei "47 *E9 *3(3|4) *36 *32 *48 *(3C|1D) *(18|1F)"

Replace here $START_ELF with your start.elf

I wrote a big long reply that for some reason is not here.

Short version - bootloader has been updated. String is not found on any of my updated systems. I have OSMC and raspbian but OSMC worked until the update from this month. I was working on raspbian when it threw the error.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/suuhm/raspi_mpeg_license_patch.sh/main/raspi_mpeg_license_patch.sh -qO- | sudo bash -s -- --patch-now --os=raspbian

Thanks to cyberkeiler for the string I did a similar find and replace using ghex and now have a pi0 running raspbian and a pi3 running osmc both happily reporting..

$ vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2
MPG2=enabled

Thanks!
