[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B+ and MXQ

[JoeyDaPhish]

New Version works great on my all black MXQ, Fixed WIFI issue, but If I hit the power button on the remote it goes to sleep but no buttons on remote will wake it. No big deal as I don't mind leaving powered at all times or just replugging it if its not being used for a while. Just wanted to chime in, Thanks again for all your hard work.

OK, I've just ordered one of these: http://www.****.co.uk/itm/MXQ-Quad-C...wAAOSwJb9WsBjM

I mean £16!!! With an air-mouse!! That's bonkers! Anyway the proof of the pudding and all that. Might take a while to arrive, probably coming from China, but I'll let you know if it was a bargain. Of course hoping one of K's MXQ builds works on it. ;0)

I've just intalled new version 6.0.1.1 and now tvheadend doesn't work. Regarding the logs, I see this message:

################################################## ##############################
# ... output of cat /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.multimedia.tvheadend/service.log

tvheadend: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.27: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In the previous version it was working OK. Any help will be apreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for getting LG Simplink (CEC) working! My stock LG TV remote now can control my HD18Q box.

Well I don't think we should yap-on too much about this as it's off-topic, but i don't see 24p/23p support for the Tronfy Box on the **** page specs, it probably does 24p but most of us move to OpenE because we can't live we the judder caused by the 23.976 fps problem, which many media boxes haven't dealt with!

I can confirm the problem on my MK808B and MXQ. Reverted to the older version...

Thanks a lot kszaq for your continuous effort on this!

Gonna try the latest OE6 release on my MXQ!

I installed this 6.0.1.1 build on my original MK808B Plus and tvheadend server still working as before. HTS Tvheadend 4.0.8 ~ OpenELEC Tvh-addon v6.0.3. I only use my "stick" as a PVR backend.

Seems to be a known issue: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...696#post553696

Video playback using a Samba (SMB) share is very slow (a lot of buffering) on 6.0.1.1 via Ethernet on the MXQ for me.

I tried to use custom cache settings, but buffering is taking forever.
Downloading something via wget on the MXQ and saving it to /dev/null gives me full speed, so Ethernet seems to be fine.


//Edit

When mounting manually, via:
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/data /var/media/data/ -o username=freezer,password='xxx'

and adding that location to Videos from Local files, playback is working perfectly. It also uses the new cache settings.

The power options were a bit iffy when I first installed the new version so I reinstalled and it seemed to cure the problem. Might be worth trying to reinstall.

By the the way, TVHeadend backend is working well for me @ 6.0.1.1
