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

[codesnake]

I tried this but no luck.

This is in my autostart.sh:

amremote_config /storage/.config/remote.conf

I copied both this file and the remote.conf to the .conf directory. rebooted the M8 but the remote does not work properly.

Did I miss something maybe?

Are you sure you use correct remote.conf? Anyway I'll post an updated build shortly, which loads remote.conf from /storage./config if it is there.

Testing

Okay... I am testing the rom my remote on the S802 M8 works fine. The issue I have is that I have a 32 gb sd card in the port and when I go to the system storage file it does not read the sd or usb on this rom. I have tried a factory reset and it still does not read my sd card or usb stick. Anyone else notice this and if so is there some tweaking I can do to fix this. I like this ROM>

Yes, there's a problem with sdcard auto-mounting, but usb sticks should work. At least all usb sticks I tried work without problems.
I'll post an updated build shortly that has the sdcard problem fixed.

Is it possible to have both of these in the next build?

Awesome. Can't wait

Thanks for the sd issue reply code snake. As I said great rom and looking forward to the next update. On this note when the sd card issue is fixed can someone let us know how to cache from the sd card on Openelec it would be great to use the external memory for this instead of the internal. A guide would be helpful.

The internal should be fine. Even with a zero buffer set. You have 5gb to play with.
There is no need to cache to external storage.

Do you have a section on the openelec dev update tool?

The addon by Leopold. Let's you install openelec updates. http://openelec.tv/forum/110-update-...lds-dev-update
I used to use it to get rasp pi nightlies.

No, I don't have.

Hi all,

Concerning the IR remote, on my side, I have some news.
It's near to work ... partially in facts.

I've began to launch Putty and go in SSH on the box and type :

echo "#!/bin/sh" > /storage/.config/autostart.sh && chmod +x /storage/.config/autostart.sh

This line will create an autostart.sh file with a first line filled with "#!/bin/sh", and then perform a chmod on the file in order to render it executable.

From this moment, you can continue with Vi or Nano, but on my side, I has gone throught windows ON my Openelec box by typing \\192.168.1.xx\ in Execute prompt of the Start Menu, and then go to the folder "ConfigFiles".
You see your autostart.sh file and others.
Edit this file with notepad for exemple and add the following line :

amremote_config /storage/.config/remote.conf

Then copy in this same directory your correct remote.conf ...

From your putty session you could type "amremote_config /storage/.config/remote.conf" to load this new remote config (Or you can reboot your box, it's the same thing ... longer. ;-))

For my CSM8, i take the remote.conf file used with the Finless 2.0 ROM, but it's not fully operationnal.

The remote is this one, and from top left to bottom right I have the following buttons that are OK.



- Power button shut the box, but it's impossible to wake up after that.
- Mute is OK.
- Vol-/+ are OK.
- up/down/left/right are OK.
- [4] acts as "small_backward" (7 sec backward)
- and the last key (looks like "backspace"), act as BACKSPACE on a 105 keys keyboard, but on Finless this function was on the "Return" button.

As this keymapping was for a Full Android, I suppose I have to totally remap the remote.
For info, this is my putty output when I've launched "amremote_config ..."

But now, before doing this correct file, I'll try Finless on this box to see if the video quality is improved or not.
