[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B+ and MXQ

[kszaq]

Thanks. I knew about that version, but this is better(because it's got t230 tuner driver & led coloring works).

You should know that T230 tuner support is experimental and may not work as it hasn't been tested by me.

Thanks for this, now I am getting cold feet and not sure I want to try it. My mk808b+ is running so good with your 5.0.3 version, I hate to mess with it.

If you want stability, stay with 5.0.x for now. The 5.95.1 beta is not thoroughly tested (I just confirmed that it boots and play videos) and it comes with Kodi 15 beta which might break some of your plugins etc.

If you want me to help you have to provide meaningful logs. Tell me if you did a clean install or an upgrade. And please also describe "problems with wired ethernet".

[kszaq]

envagyok I have found a reason why the factory remote may have not worked - this was due to changes in amremote package. I have compiled an updated version, please try it: 5.95.1-20150515.

I don't know why, sometimes working ethernet, sometimes not. Not get ip address. It cannot make before at 5.0.8. When I restart router then give it address. Must located for me the reason of problem, maybe router..

You are right. I've tested it: the tuner works, but streams are unwatchable, because video and audio breaks up(also some part of video is green).

I will also need to setup a web server as a single release in now almost 1GB having 4 devices.

kszaq the problem with the tuner may not be a problem with drivers, I've tryed to stream from my wetek and on my other devices I've never had problems, in my mk808b plus it just doesn't stream, can it be the player used in live tv ?

Thank you for the link but I have already purchased hosting for one year. I may consider az.pl's offer next year.

I also have compiled a test TV110 firmware for you - I took dtb from factory image. Please test if it fixes issues you are experiencing: http://s805.eu/releases/5.0.8-20150511/test/

I think the problem lies in drivers and not the box's hardware. I will be able to test the MK808B+ with an IT9135-based tuner tomorrow and I will be able to answer your question.

Thanks, now working everything...
The network problem I think never existed I think it was bad plug error.

[csgabe]

Tested TV110 version, sound still didn't work(maybe it's because my box doesn't recognize edid of TV ), but this autostart.sh script fixed that( only had to change to 720p then back to 1080p) .

echo 720p > /sys/class/display/mode
echo 1080p > /sys/class/display/mode

The changing of MAC address and ip address of LAN I fixed it with adding 99-mac-address.rules in /storage/.config/udev.rules.d (replace xx characters with actual mac):

SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="eth0", RUN+="/sbin/ip link set dev %k address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"

The led is now red all the time(the beelink mxq version was behaving correctly: green when box was running; it must be something in the kernel I think ).

I had to change dvfs table in the device tree file, because my box needs higher voltages(probably have older board which required higher voltages) or otherwise it would freeze:

 dvfs_table  = <
            /* NOTE: frequent in this table must be ascending order */
                  96000        1020000     1020000
                 192000        1020000     1020000
                 312000        1020000     1020000
                 408000        1020000     1020000
                 504000        1020000     1020000
                 600000        1020000     1020000
                 720000        1020000     1020000
                 816000        1020000     1020000
                1008000        1140000     1140000
                1200000        1140000     1140000
                1320000        1140000     1140000
                1488000        1140000     1140000
                1536000         1140000     1140000      
            >;

I've tested T230, I got "Continuity counter error" type errors in tvheadend & picture & sound was breaking up(DVB-C tested only).
Thanks for building for TV110 too.
And the remote(my box came with a white remote) didn't work properly, but copying this remote.conf(I modified it a little bit) to /storage/.config fixed it:
https://my.powerfolder.com/dl/fiQ1vY...p6/remote.conf

Wifi doesn't show on network(openelec configuration), here is the dmesg:

https://my.powerfolder.com/dl/fiHVb155WHPzU6BxiywTXkfq/dmesgtv110.txt

TV110 wifi chip is AP6210.

cesarpt I think you may be correct that the problem with DVB-T tuners may not be in DVB drivers. I have tested my IT9135 tuner today and got the same results. I have read somewhere that the problem may be in USB drivers. I'll try to look at it but can't promise anything.

csgabe can you provide me a link to a working Android firmware, preferably in USB Burning Tool format? I used the one you posted some time ago from http://chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.ro and maybe parameters extracted from it are wrong.

[csgabe]

This was the last version:
https://mega.co.nz/#!xQhiXTaB!llJAOs...-3MkaciTmaMt10
You probably know, but if you don't you can use the CustomizationTool from Amlogic to unpack this firmware.
Wifi worked with Beelink MXQ version of OpenElec.

Guys, I ordered a mxq, the box on the site where I ordered satys OTT on it and the brand is Vensmile or Vsmart. Is this a HD18Q mxq? Will this firmware work with it? It looks like the em6q-mxq however the remote is newer one, more slimmer. Are these good boxes? I'm planning on ordering more as the price is really good, only 40 bucks u.s. Does anyone know if this new version has a heatsink on the cpu like the em6q-mxq? I know the beelink version of mxq s85 doesn't have a heatsink but a thick foil type paper.

[anemeth]

kszaq,

I just installed your 5.08 on my MXQ and working nicely. Only problem if I switch on hardware acceleration and pay a file, any file, one part of the screen turns to Openelec screen with garbage. Here is the picture how it looks like. If I switch off hardware acceleration, everything OK, but of course in this case 720p x265 does not play properly. Otherwise everything looks OK, Dolby Digital sound works through HDMI cable too.

I tried to switch the video resolution, it does not help. My TV is a 2008 Panasonic plasma with 1280x720p resolution.

Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks,

[csgabe]

Try creating a file called autorun.sh, add the command below, copy it to /storage/.config or Configfiles through SMB, make the file executable with chmod & restart.

echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb1/blank
