[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B+ and MXQ

[minoccio]

karl0ss You can add keycodes in remote.conf file to make additional buttons work.


treyparker You may edit keycodes assigned to keys by modifying remote.conf file, I think you may be able to bind a command to a keycode.


pigbait You need to login over SSH, issue a cat /proc/kmsg command, press a button that doesn't work and note down anything that appeared in the kernel log. That way you can see what keycodes are not mapped or mapped improperly. If you note down a "key name"->"kernel log message" table, I may be able to help you correct the mappings.


mickr It is true if your box does not detect your TV's EDID. In that situation, you won't be allowed to change resolution and OpenELEC will use resolution reported by uBoot.


mebaali Yes to all questions. You can find instructions on GitHub page. The only thing that is modified when you install SD version is uboot which can be easily reverted to stock when you re-flash Android.



minoccio citizenjc I would need a working Android firmware for that box to look whether the device trees for MXQ and UBox are the same or different.

kszaq I didn't find any firmware for Ubox . Asked gearbest if they can help me... waiting for an answer. Thank You !!!

[minoccio]

Do you have a link for that box? I wish they would change the names of the devices, it gets very confusing.

There is a review on this forum. Here is the link: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...x-amlogic-s805

Hi, where can I find a Chromium browser for OpenElec? I tried to install it on my mk808b plus with openelec but can't find a browser...

There is no cromium bulid for ARM.

Anyone know where is the file that contains the wifi settings? ( wifi name & password).

I am on the road a lot and take my box with me. I usually have a hard time connecting to a new wifi. Every time I am in a new location and try to connect to a new wifi I click on the wifi name and then click connect.... but nothing happens. I do not get the option to enter password. It just goes back to the list of connections. I have to do many refresh, reboot, wired on/off and more reboots until finally it gives me the option to enter password on new wifi.

Thanks.

When I set Enable Zero Caching in Advancedsettings.xml it isn't writing over the previous cached video, so my flash memory fills up and then videos won't play.

Is anyone else having this issue. I have several other AML boxes that I have enabled zero caching and they write over the previous cached video.

Is it possible to flash a rom via the reboot recovery SSH method?

I can boot to recovery but I will get mount errors with the SDCARD, I have full access to my mk808b+ (apart from flash) but would like a method of flashing android without the need to connect to a PC.

Do you mean the <cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize> setting? I don't see the point in using this on openELEC since you have plenty of free RAM to cache to. Contrary to RAM memory, the amount of times a sector in flash memory can be overwritten is limited. So always caching to NAND (or SD Card) will slowly destroy your memory. If you have buffering problems, try increasing the amount it caches to RAM. e.g. <cachemembuffersize>83886080</cachemembuffersize> will use 4 times the amount of cache (80mb instead of 20mb).

http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache This is what i built mine from. Ill post mine later. This might be the exact one that i use. Example 4 below

I think during my testing i had to change the membuffer size down. I think i did 100 meg.

<advancedsettings>
<network>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<cachemembuffersize>157286400</cachemembuffersize>
<readbufferfactor>20</readbufferfactor>
</network>
</advancedsettings>

I realy like this rom and use my MK808B+ in combination with my HTPC and a mysql shared library.
Yesterday I made the mistake of updating kodi to 15.0 on my HTPC which brakes shared library support in my case...
I tried a lot, but I can't seem to roll back the update on my HTPC back to kodi 14.2...
I did however found out that OE 6.0 beta 3 is released with kodi 15.0, so I wonder if it would be possible to release OE beta 3 for the MK808b+ as well?

[kszaq]

Spekkie I hope to post 5.95.3 build this week. If you are using NAND installation, you can try using 5.95.1 in the meantime.

[Spekkie]

kszaq Are you sure the 5.95.1 build is equipped with kodi 15? As far as I could find is OE 6.0 beta 3 (5.95.3) the first build that ships kodi 15:

The most visible change is the update from Kodi-14.2 Helix to Kodi-15.0 Isengard (rc 2).

However an OE 5.95.3 release for our MK808B+ would be really great

[kszaq]

Spekkie 5.95.1 is with Kodi 15.0-beta1.

[pigbait]

Might as well all wait till OE 6.0 is officially out

1-2 day I think final OE6 coming
