Hello, thanks for new ported OL, but there is no PVR addons, even if i put example: simpleiptvclient.zip it install but on enable i get ''cannot run dll''

[warlock09]

No, that's not normail if the first splash is displayed for 70 seconds. Boot time of the M8 and MX2 should be almost identical.
I prefer to use M8.

Hello ..i have a tv box here called smart tv box i6 with aml8726 soc and rtl8188etv wifi chip..1gb ram 8gb rom..any ideas if the g18 ref .

Since 6.0 you should install the required PVR addons from OpenELEC official repository.

Hi code snake

Been waiting for this release and I must say what a job your doing. Can I please ask if this is the same kernel as 5.0.3 that doesn't support the dvbsky s2 us tuners. Or are they now supported.

not sure if your aware that not all cpu's are working. I'm sure you do.

Once again smashing job.

It seems a bug - incorrect URL of OE addon repository. I'll fix it now.

Ok, just leave a reply thanks alot

It uses same 3.10 kernel. What you mean not all CPUs are working?

[kraigtoft]

I was having a look through the skins and noticed on aeon mq6 that the readout of the cpu was only showing 2 of them working, in the confluence skin I can't see them all so can't check. It only shows so many in the system info

I'm probably wrong and would like a way to check them all if there is such a way.

[kraigtoft]

Will this version be getting a new kernel upgrade or staying on 3.10.

Hope I'm wrong about the cpu comment.
