[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B+ and MXQ

[kszaq]

Tried everything same on three boxs

Analog output may not work on some boxes with pinout different from that in device tree I supply in my builds. Nonetheless, the option should be available in Kodi settings if you're on 6.0.1.2 or newer build.

I would need to reproduce your conditions. I also tried a password-protected share and no issues with 40Mbps video... There are 2 things you could check:

1. Test a development build I'm using at the moment (it's by no means 6.0.3.2 final - you can switch freely between this and any 6.x build without data wipe by simply putting a tar file with update in Update folder and rebooting): http://s805.eu/test/6.0.3.2-dev20160305/
2. If you have a spare SD card, please also test a clean install of 6.0.3.1.

I am really enjoying 5Ghz connection with the newly added Edimax AC600 usb wifi dongle with RTL8812AU/RTL8821AU drivers. It has really made the stick a solid streamer. Will you be able to keep this driver in your future 6.0+ and 7.0 builds? Thanks again for the support!

This is the best and funnest development project until oculus rift arrives Thanks kszaq!

Hi mate yes I only had 6.0.1.1
I have tried update to latest with. Tz method and my it got stuck on bootloader loop. Managed to reflash 6.0.1.1 but it won't let me flash 6.0.1.2 or 6.3 with hd18q build even with just the update zip like it does with 6.0.1.1 I get invalid footer e: message. Any ideas why I can't flash hdq for new builds but 6.0.1.1 works every time?

Check in OpenELEC settings that you have both Samba and SSH enabled. You should be able to connect over SSH even with a strict firewall. Without logs I can't do much.
.

OK, accessed logs over Samba have sent you a PM with link to zip. Remember this is to do with BluRay drive not mounting when hard-booted and no power off and hit n miss when using reboot.

New builds have multi-dtb support which may not play well with you devices. I'm dropping multi-dtb for next release and add some compatibility tags to device tree and this should hopefully solve some boot related issues. Or not.

Thanks for the logs but I need one collected right after a hard boot to see what's going on.

PM sent with log after hard-boot. Hope this helps.

EDIT: I also PMed you a log after a successful reboot via remote as the BR disc loads from reboot, when it doesn't hang!

6.0.3.1 seems to run fine on my red banner MXQ, thks

[burimek]

thanks but please for another release,as default CEC full on

[kszaq]

thanks but please for another release,as default CEC full on

Please read release notes. Default CEC settings is already full on.

CEC is set to "full on" on a clean install by aml_autoscript in both SD and NAND relesase. It doesn't change on update or if you install to NAND in recovery.

If you have different CEC setting in your bootloader or want to change it, you should use a script linked in release notes. Not everyone wants to have CEC full on and that's why I give a choice.

my (am_mxq_a 20150825) box has been running on the 6.0.3.1 for a few days now, and i must say that it's not running that well, every now and then it simply freeze, nothing works , wont responce to the remote. if i try to acsess it from my pc i can, but that is all.
when i hit run---openelec no responce
if i try to enter by firefox i can but after 1 sec i get "connection to server is lost"
so i have to unpluge it from the power and reconnect and then all is well untill the next time.
any 1 else has the same problem here???
trying 6.0.1.4

I have installed this on four MXQ boxes and it works quite well but I can not seem to get into recovery anymore on any of the boxes.

Hi all

First of all, thanks for creating this great port of OpenElec. I have black MXQ box that i bought for 35 EUR to use for Kodi. However, under android there is annoying audio delay that i can't fix. With your image it just works great.

Unfortunately there is problem with Simple IPTV clieny in kodi 14/15/16, it tkes too long for stream to start playing. With Kodi 17 test build it just works fine!

Sorry for asking, but is there chance to build Kodi 17 image too?

OK thanks mate I will wait for. New version. Much appreciated your hard work.
