[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B+ and MXQ

[ididmytime]

What exactly do you mean by this? Is this "non bootable" risk only for v5.0.8? Release note doesn't tell me much

Thanks

It would mean that if worse comes to worse you would have to use the pin method to restore your device, instead of doing it via the .tar method via SSH or FTP.

Ok, I see what you are referring to now. Since I am running OpenELEC, the OTA does not concern me. The USB to RJ45 does not make sense to me, both sticks have the same inputs and with my MK808B+ I am using a gigabit USB Ethernet Adapter. Perhaps they mean under Android, the firmware accepts different USB Ethernet adapters with the Tronsmart? I really have no idea. So I think what your question really is, does the added functionality for the Tronsmart stick justify the higher price?

I have come to realize this must be an Android thing. Sorry to everyone for off topic issue. I do feel the Mk808b Plus is one of the best values in hardware today considering it comes with a case, power supply, 8gigs Nand Flash and cables. I am going to order one for testing.

With an HDHomeRun tuner, it makes a great, inexpensive stand alone DVR. No computer or NAS needed for the DVR.

jellywobbles: ididmytime is right, by flashing a test release you might end up in a non-bootable device, although losing data is unlikely if you follow instructions from my post when reverting: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...144#post503144

csgabe sorry for that. I thought that what we needed was not including new NAND driver but I can now see that MK808B+ and TV110 need the new driver. After further testing, I realized that the only change we need to properly set MAC address is turning off a kernel feature named AML_NAND_KEY.
I posted a new test build:
https://github.com/kszaq/OpenELEC.tv...s/tag/5.0.8p12

Sorry for the lots of non working test builds recently but you have to realize that it's hard to make a build that would work for everyone with so many different devices.

Testing https://github.com/kszaq/OpenELEC.tv...s/tag/5.0.8p12 on MXQ so far no issuses WIFI working and booting ok.
after reboots MAC address changes.

hey kszaq sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
you can download the copy of the etc folder and the kmsg log from the 111k4 firmware build on my MK808B Plus from http://dropjar.com/#1z68p88w

btw I tried your newest 5.0.8p12 version and that blue screen issue is now gone so that is awesome its working just like before except without wifi support hence the above files lol.
thanks for all your help.

It's good value, however, why not go with the HD18Q? It's only a couple of dollars more, comes with a remote and more usb ports plus the option to use av output on older televisions. I got a few of these from aliexpress.com for 35 bucks U.S. These are the OTT MxQ. The cheapest I could find a MK808B Plus for was around 32-33 bucks U.S.D. OpenElec works wonderful and fast with these and the remote works fine as well, after you place the remote.cofig file in the config folder.

Thanks for that information. The ones I found on Aliexpress were over $80 US.

You can get the latest M8S for less than that.

That is a very good buy.

what firmware do you use for this? is there an openelec version that someone has made and continuously updates?

Actually, I don't have that particular model. I use these mostly for Kodi/Xbmc, so the MxQ HD18Q serves my purposes pretty nicely, and I can get those for about 35 U.S.D.

Thank you for the files. I have bad news: there is currently no support for the AP6212 in source code from Amlogic. I have reached out to Nexteon with a request to share the source code, maybe they will be able to help.

mike808 can you share a link to MXQ HD18Q for $35?

Here it is, but you have to get 20, still a good deal though, and they work perfect with your firmware after you put in the remote.conf file. Free DHL shipping too.
