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

[Deezel]

I have a MyGica520e wondering if any of these firmware option would work.... hmmmmm

[Deezel]

nope

[moontan6]

Sorry to sound like a broken record as i posted about this before, but does anyone else experience screen tearing when scrolling quickly through menus? I see this with my m8 box so just wondering is it a common issue.

Yes, there's such issue on both M8 and MX2.

Is the screen tearing something can be fixed?

thanks

[nighthawk1975]

Yes, it is possible, but it is significant amount of work.

Ok i understand, but can you do it?
maybe ask openelec for there help?

Possibly will do that in the future.

Currently it cannot be fixed. And I don't think it is huge drawback to make it high priority.

Hi everyone; I am wondering if OpenELEC for M8 with XBMC 13.2 works on the M8 S802 1 gb model. I have it on the 2gb and it works great. Can anyone tell me if they tried this on the M8 S802 1gb. If it does not can someone give me an idea what the best rom would be. I love stone snakes openelec. I can only hope that it works with the 1gb box. Thanks in advance all

You can try version for MX2, but I'm not usre if it will work. Try at your own risk.

@codesnake, could you please include the AVL6211 patches from wetek in the MX2 version?
In Vitaliy S openelec version

http://xbmc.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=4691

the AVL6211 driver is included.

@taki, Try Vitaliy S openelec, use the SDcard version, it is not as new as codesnakes but I think it will work with the hd18s2.

Any news with this device?

[al8782]

I got the latest Kodi build to work on my Q Box. On my Mx2 when I got to connections under OpenELEC Config there's usually a number which I presume was the signal strength. I was always around high 60's to the max of 75.

On this build there is no number at all.

And the Q Box is dual band wifi which is suppose to support AC wireless routers which I do have. Is there a way to know what band I'm running on?

Thanks

If it is dual band it should show you both at the same time.

[al8782]

If it is dual band it should show you both at the same time.

Where would it show me under connections? Because my access point is only shows once wlan0. On my mx2 it shows wlan1 and 0
