[ROM] OpenELEC for Amlogic-based TV boxes (M8, MXQ, TV110, MX2/G18)

[codesnake]

Many thanks. Are there any other improvements in the updates or just the things you've mentioned in this thread? None of it applies to my setup that's all.

The only update is the support for HDMI CEC.

Okay, thanks again.

Last question: do you foresee any performance increases on your M8 ROM in the future? Works perfectly for me aside from the sleep/wake problem, just wondering.

No I don't foresee any significant performance increases.

Is spidf audio option there ?

[Krankie]

As selecting any setting above 24 hz via my amp using hdmi gives me black screen for a few seconds so would like to connect to TV direct but set audio via optical out to amp

[codesnake]

It should work out of the box.

No I don't foresee any significant performance increases.

No worries, thank you for your help. This is easily the most accomplished ROM I've tried to date, keep up the good work.

Will reflash and try again but I'm sure I coudnt change to spdif

You don't need to change anything. It outputs to HDMI and SPDIF at the same time.

WIFI Dongle.

If anyone has a wifi dongle they can try out, please let me know if it works and what brand model it is.

Codesnake added support for some but at least with my Edimax wifi dongle I get nothing.

Maybe I am doing something wrong and maybe the Edimax is not one of those supported with the driver update.

Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, why use the Edimax wifi dongle instead of the wifi embedded in the M8?

For me, wifi on m8 is not the best it can be. Other reports have also shown this. I am just wanting to make my m8 as best possible.

Works decent when close range to router but after that it drops too much and not good.

thanks.

Excellent...

Sony Remote working well thru the M8 to control TV and XBMC
Thanks

Today I have a little surprise for the community. Finally I have made the HDMI CEC working on M8 boxes! Now you can use the remote from your TV to control the XBMC.
