I don't think that's possible. But why don't you just install kodi on your laptop?

Thanks for your hard work mate. I've noticed on both 6.0.1.2 and .3 releases the CEC has completely stopped working with my LG screen. You say you're implementing a new one but this hasn't been implemented yet. Is there any reason this has stopped working?Originally posted by kszaq View PostToday I released 6.0.1.3 which is a very minor update over 6.0.1.2 - if you're happy with it, you don't need to upgrade, especially if you're using Beelink MXQ or MK808B+ as there are virtually no changes for these devices. This release attempts to provide more stable boots on all-black MXQs.
Changelog:- updated device trees to fix boot issues
- re-applied pixel clock kernel patch
- backported anti-black screen patch for amcodec
- minor build system patches
My work will now focus on Jarvis betas, this should be pretty straightforward but - as always - I give no timeframe as buiding this ROM is a hobby for me and I have lots of priority personal stuff going on. Nonetheless, I hope to provide you a build before the end of the month.
I also started testing the new CEC driver implementation by gdachs and it looks very promising but for some reason it doesn't always work with my S805 devices and that's why I decided not to include it in 6.0.1.3. I will merge it as soon as it's at least as stable as Amlogic's CEC driver.Comment

I hate to doing this to you, but I upgraded my second MXQ (hd18Q) from 6.0.1.1 to 6.0.1.2 and the wifi has stopped working, its a RTL8188, I tried flashing both MXQ and HD18Q builds and still no wifi. i also did modprobe wifi_dummy and nothing came up. i have also downgrade back to 6.0.1.1 and wifi is still gone. strange.
here is a copy of the original firmware for this box.Last edited by pigbait; 24 February 2016, 00:49.Comment

Hi I have tried do a backup in twrp but I am getting an error.i have the revez firmware in a zip but it won't flash it says corrupted. It is also packed funny.i was hopping a version of oe might sort the box out as it will just boot to the amalogic s805 start screenOriginally posted by kszaq View PostComment

So far box has stayed on for over 10 hours no shut downs or freezes. Led's messed up, I have red on full boot. Remote (OK) button not working and I could swear I used the same remote.conf I used before for 6.0.1.1 and the OK button was fine. Strange stuff
Infact on remote only navigation/power off/on works. Nothing else working like ok, return, context
Many Thanks

Took th plunge and installed the latest HD18Q build on my black box MXQ (the MXQ build didn't recognise the remote) and so far all seems good....wifi, ethernet all sound...
Couldn't for the life of me get any build to run off an SD card, which is what I originally wanted to do, but hey ho, probably user error :P
Anyway, hoping this goes well....thanks for the build....
Peace.Comment

Having the same issue as Hercules Man, 6.0.0.2 flawless on a v1 h18q box. Hard Lockup after a few mins. I have tried using sd card and no luck.Comment

Yes, libcec is still a bit buggy for me - it's OK on WeTek Play but somehow sometimes fails on MXQ - but when it works, it's much superior. Nonetheless, I did not include the new driver and only make some changes to existing one. CEC not working for you may be due to two things:Originally posted by noosk View Post- CEC is turned off in Android/kernel command line. To check if that's the case, connect over SSH and type: cat /proc/cmdline. You should look for hdmitx parameter. If it's empty or cec0, it means you have to turn CEC back on. There are three ways to do this:
- Boot into Android and turn CEC back on. You might have to re-apply uenv patch to boot back to OpenELEC on SD card.
- Download a file for your CEC preference from http://s805.eu/releases/CEC-uenv-modifier/ , unpack it to SD card and install using toothpick method. These ZIPs change uenv variable that determines CEC configuration.
- Add a file named autostart.sh to your Configfiles folder with the following content:
Code:
echo 0xf > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/cec_config
- I included a patch that actually fixed CEC for LG TVs for some users. I have compiled a build with this path reverted, you can try using it: http://s805.eu/test/6.0.1.3-nosimplink/
This may be a silly question but does your WiFi work again when you unplug the power and plug it back? I discovered an issue with USB sometimes not working after a reboot and since RTL8188 is USB-based, it may be affected by it.Originally posted by pigbait View Post
Can you upload this Revez firmware somewhere or give us a link to it, if already on Revez servers?Originally posted by massy086 View Post
I noticed that Android remote.conf files need to be modified for all buttons to work in OpenELEC. If you have a standard remote, one of these files should work:Originally posted by Hercules Man View Post

I'm not at all sure about this but I'll say it anyway. To get my brand new and third beelink mxq to load openelec from SD card, I had to flash the uenv first. The instructions don't say this and only talk about needing uenv when android is updated and I had interpreted them to mean that uenv flashing is part of the SD card installation. I have a shaky theory that it isn't.Originally posted by topher67 View Post
I'm working fine but I thought I'd mention it in case there's a change needed to the instructions.Comment

You all know it, by now, but here it is, a double boot sw in wetek kore :

Uenv update is included in SD build (unless I messed something up).Originally posted by sonofdibnah View Post Yes, to make SD boot work you need to update UENV but as it's included in SD card image, all you need to do is use toothpick method once.
This requires a modification in bootloader and should be quite easy to do but I don't have plans to implement this as flashing bootloaders = bricked boxes unless there's a single board on the market... like WeTek boxes.Originally posted by vn800art View Post

Hi, newbie here
Wanted to make sure I got the right hardware. "Beelink MXQ - with red 'MX' on top" - is that the one?
ThanksComment
