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

[IMFan]

This issue is hard to fix for me, because I cannot reproduce it. Works just fine on my LG TV.

It could be a Panasonic specific issue.
I have read about this exact issue. I believe it had something to do with the way the Panasonic handles the hdmi handshake and i know of one case where Panasonic had offered to replace the TV...

[IMFan]

Trying to update from 4.21 to the 5.03
tried putting the tar in the update folder and toothpick method
both time update appears to work,
but on first normal boot stops on the openelec logo centre screen
and a text message top left

starting debugging shell... type exit to quit#
cant access tty; job controlled turned off

any hints
thanks in advance

Yes, this issue is widely known.
Look two posts above your original post and try that method.

If possible can someone post the contents of the asound.conf located in /ect folder for the m8 build.
Thanks.

It works a bit different:
On one side, browse to the files or dirs you want to copy.
The other side will be your destination.
Press menu, then copy or move.

do anybody use dvb tuner with tvheadend on openelec. can you watch any problem h264 HD channels with openelec. I have problem h264 mpeg4 hd channels on openelec.
I have any problem 0-6 mb/s hd amc-h264 channels but 6-20mb/s channels stutter every 20 second. that may be based amcodech or usb tuner connect host speed or cpu?

I found Why HD h264 channles stutter . that is inside (ERROR check in pts error!)

It's strange because it was not on the version before. So I don't know what is changed?

Hi code,first congratulations and thanks for your work


Only I have a problem with the server allmyvideos.net and vidspot, I have video but no sound. Is it normal? Is there a solution?
Thanks and sorry for my english

[JinKim]

@ Codesnake : Thank you for your nice work

Thank you for this great software for my M8 Box.. so far most things working fine.. but i have one little problem..
For some reason i cannot get the audio from the 3.5mm jack plug.. the reason i need this is because i use a small pc speaker system..
The box does send audio over hdmi to the tv but this sound is not nice so i want to send it to my speaker system..
My bad luck is my tv has no audio output..
So is there a way to enable the audio out on the 3.5mm jack??

I also found out when play music the screensaver OpenGL Spectum is running fast and slow.. so not running stable..

Regards Osdieman

Same as me as well. I have no sound with A/V output. My box is M8 S802 k200a called OTT TV BOX.I flashed OpenELEC for Amlogic 5.0 with Kodi 14.1 Helix on M8.
Working on my box is well via HDMI, but when I connect a monitor without speaker, I have any sound via a/v analogue output(3.5 mm).
This is the log of aplay -l

However, didn't work. Would anyone give me information related this issue?
Once the a/v analogue output works properly, after just flashing the firmware with SD card and edit /storage/.config/asound.conf as device 1 -> device 0 . It can be working well unless power off(not reboot).
I think the sound control by ALSA is only available in warm-booting(reboot via ssh or xbmc reboot) without kernel load. Once the system is powered off then on, device 0 ( a/v analogue output ) won't work.

Yes, the one case i heard of was an on and off thing between specific builds as well.
Does the problem exist on another brand TV..?

Best I have gotten so far by messing with asound.conf is buzzing from the av port when sound should be playing. Has the av port produced sound on any of these builds?
