[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B+ and MXQ

[pikomule]

Reinstall android? I have no recovery

I tried to install firmware Stock, finless, etc with the method of RESET, but does nothing, just start OpenELEC?
How can I restore RECOVERY?
Neither works by connecting the PC to use USB Burning Tool
Thanks

Hey kszaq amazing work have at my mk808b plus your latest stable openelec working 95% great! Only two small annoyances: the use of the iOS remote control results in small interface sound lag (turned it off) and AirPlay is very buggy, working only sometimes and every time I turn on the box I need to switch off and then switch on the AirPlay in settings in order for it to start working... :/ so perhaps some quick fix would be to do some script....

Great find! I thought it was IOS updates 9.0 + that caused it. Turning off the GUI sounds made the Remote app lag free

Thanks!

Yes this version still needs a bit of ironing... But good job nonetheless... Anyone knows any fix to the AirPlay, besides turn off turn on fix? I wanted something reliable and permanent...

I think that you can put together a simple .conf file that will do this action for you on boot so you won't really notice it. I forget what you have to name the file...

Thanks to whoever made this It's a lifesaver.
I have a problem though. This version of kodi doesn't have brazillian Portuguese as an option for the Subtitle language. Is there a way I can some how add it?

I know that in the computer version one has to add the following code to advancedsettings.xml

<advancedsettings>
<languagecodes>
<code>
<short>ptbr</short>
<long>Portuguese (Brazil)</long>
</code>
</languagecodes>
</advancedsettings>

but where is this file?

You have to create it yourself.
/storage/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

Does this build support UVC web cams? I am trying to do an h.264 encoding either using ffmpeg or gstreamer. But my webcam is not showing in /dev/video0. It works in all other linux normally.

Can I create the file in my computer and transfer it to the right folder? will I have access to it?

Thank you for all the trouble. But I would please appreciate some help if possible.

I have a MXQ HD18q box. If I try to instal openelec to NAND by preparing an SD card it wont instal, giving me a E:/ unable to mount error.

So then I tried by preparing the SD-card with the bootloader from the android firmware and using the recovery.img from the android firmware. Then it will install, but after that the box wont boot (light keeps flashing red and blue). If I then shortcirciut the NAND it wil boot to openelec and work, even if I shut it down and start it up again.

But if I plug-off the power and then plug it back in, it will again not boot (light flashing red and blue).

So please some help on how to fix it would be much appreciated, as I know that it can run on my box, only problem is the booting!

I have a (quite noob) question regarding recompilation of the sources.

I'm trying to change the GPIO pin to make the LED work properly in my box. So far I have cloned the github repository and edited the power_led.patch file to change the GPIO pin. I compiled it using

make ARCH="arm" PROJECT="Amlogic" DEVICE="HD18Q"

to compile it only for my device. It seems to compile correctly and I get the .tar update file.

I want to test both setting the pin high and low. However, when I edit again the patch file to set it to low and recompile, the .tar is successfuly generated, but I don't get any output message saying that some code is being compiled (it seems that it just "repacks" what has been compiled previously), so I'm not sure if the changes made in the patch file have been actually applied or not.

Do I need to manually apply the patch before compile or it is done automatically?

Sorry if it is a too obvious question, but I have zero experience with this.

Thank you and best regards.

About the problem with Avahi (Zeroconf) related to airplay not working properly i figured by reading the Openelec logs that the Avahi Server Process being was shunted down by the Power Save Mode present in my Wifi adapter using the Realtek 8192cu chip. That said this fix should work for those using adapters like mine (and perhaps others who might use the same chip).

Ssh into openelec using terminal or other program using the username: root and password: openelec as well the IP of your own device:

ssh [email protected].1.x

once inside type these commands:

cat /sys/module/8192cu/parameters/rtw_power_mgnt

A value of 0 means disabled, 1 means min. power management, 2 means max. power management. To disable this, you need to create a new file:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf

and add the following:

# Disable power management
options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0

Once you save the file and reboot your openelec installation, the Airplay should stay on indefinitely.
