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

[Llama]

I tried flashing my m8 box but it wouldn't enter the auto installer, but the menu as mentioned in post #1947 (found later when looking for a solution to my problem). At the time I tried a new sd card and a fresh copy of the rom which installed fine but after reboot it just gets stuck on the amlogic logo. I set a timer for a minute and tried to boot into recovery mode but no luck there. It connects to my router (lan ports lit up) but it doesn't seem to see it as its not giving it an ip address so I cant connect to it via putty

Have I bricked it?

What files did you actually put onto the sdcard. Did you unzip the downloaded zipfile and transfer the files in the folder to your sdcard.

Hello first of all thanks for creating such an awesome image. I have the square remote and have managed to get it working by importing the remote.conf file from this thread. My only problem is I cannot power the box on from the remote I have to research cable. Has a ny one managed to fix it this? Thanks

The M8 version of the Linux is running great on my T8 (v1) from Zoomtak but... the infra red remote only switches on and off. A remote App doesn't do the job because Openelec isn't responding at all. Now I use the Yatse on my Phone.
Maybe after a update this will be fixed? For the rest I am very pleased with the better working of the player.

There's a project for T8 in my GitHub repository. I will post a build later. Meanwhile you can try to build it yourself.

Codesnake,

Good to see you are still around and checking in on your forum page here. Are you planning on releasing an updated new builds of OpenElec 6.0 and Kodi Isengard for the M8 2GB in the future (and maybe the MX2 as well)? I'll be donating to you again when you do.

Sure, I'll continue to release builds for both MX2 and M8.

Codesnake,

Fantastic and great news! We were beginning to think that we lost you. It's good to see you back around again.

I will continue to donate also.

Hey guys, I have had two versions of the MXQ and after installing OpenELEC the remotes stop working. The version that says MXQ when booting up works fine when replacing the remote.conf file with polys from codesnakes thread, but the one that says Amlogic S805 when booting up doesn't work even after swapping the remote.conf files. Here is polys that works on the other MXQs:


# ZAP-A10 NEC remote
factory_code = 0xfe010001
work_mode = 0
repeat_enable = 1
release_delay = 121
debug_enable = 1
reg_control = 0xfbe40

Now here is the new one that I pulled from the boxes that works before OpenELEC is installed but not after:

Any idea on how I can get these new remote files working with OpenELEC? ? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Regards,

Chris

I think you can get the remote config file from the android file and add it to openelec through 192.168.xx.xx

From what android file? Before I put OpenELEC on the new boxes that boot up with the Amlogic logo, that second remote.conf that I posted in my previous post is the one that I took directly from the box while it was on the stock ROM. I threw it into rc_keymaps after flashing OpenELEC and it did nothing, only the power button worked on the remote. Any other ideas??

[Abhorsen]

Okay I'm almost there... This I'd the conf file I am using and I had to put it directly in .config folder for OpenELEC to read it for some reason.

The only thing now is the OK button and the Vol- and Vol+ buttons don't work. The Vol buttons I couldn't care less about right now, I just need the OK button to mainly work. When I click OK the mouse cursor appears in the top left corner of my screen. Can that help anyone give me any ideas on what to map it to so I can get it to work?

Hello,

I bought 10 boxes of M8 and insert SD Card with three files from Post #1946 copy into my SD Card. Two M8 boxes flashed with OpenELEC code fine and works very well. Other box I try to perform same steps but all I get M8 Logo and stuck but OpenELEC flash never begin to flash. I power down M8 and start without SD Card and same M8 Logo appears and start MBOX menu and normal Android screen. I did perform few times to flash with SD Card with 3 OpenELEC three files but same result. Just M8 Logo and stuck but not an Android man lay on the floor message.

Could anyone help what should I do next to flash my M8 with OpenELEC.

Thanks in advance.
JR

I have been using this build on my MX2. It has been running real good.
