[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B+ and MXQ

[kostaman]

OK, think I'll try a clean install. Yes all the refresh rate switching is working fine so it must be something to do with the addons. Can you confirm which version you;re on .1 or .3? Even better is there a specific repo you use for you addons as I would obviously like to put some addons on my box?

kszaq Hi, I am currently using the latest 6.95.1.3 on my MK808B Plus, which works very well for me, but I have a few minor observations:

1) Since a few releases ago, if I do a 'power off' via the menu the system hangs, and I have to cycle the power. Suspend always works fine though. I have also set it to suspend after 30 mins of inactivity (rather than power off), as it sometimes gets switched on by mistake via CEC (from my Panasonic TV) when I switch on my HDD recorder.
2) In some releases I seem to lose the default button assignments for my Panasonic TV remote. This is not a problem, as I can set them up again but it happened again in the latest release, and I wondered if it may be due to the new CEC implementation?
3) When playing a video file, I very occasionally get no sound. If I play another file this sometimes fixes it, then it works again in the original file. I can also fix it by toggling 'Stereo upmix' or 'Enable passthrough' (regardless of whether it is currently on or off), but that's not a permanent fix either.
4) The RSS ticker no longer displays anything, even though I have it enabled.

Thanks very much for everything that you do, and I am also looking forward to your LibreElec releases to see what they are like!

nigelg Thanks for sharing your observations.

1) I admit that "power off" may be unreliable in a few latest releases, I decided to bring back the old behaviour for my next builds. You'd still be able to force the box to "power off" via command line. This would also fix blue screen bug after powering off.
2) Yes, different button assignments are due to new CEC driver. Actually there are in line with OE builds for other devices.
3) That I never experienced. If I can't reproduce, I'm unlikely to fix, sorry.
4) Will look at that and fix.

kostaman Couldn't get the backup to install but 6.95.1.1 was still juddering occasionally even without addons and a clean install so I thought I'd try 6.95.1.2, which was actually a test build, and for me it works the best so I'm going to stick with it for a while.

kszaq As I've said above the video playback is, overall, actually worse on 6.95.1.3. 6.95.1.1 was better but the test build you did, version 6.95.1.2 is the one that currently works best for me as far as video playback is concerned. It's still not perfect but it's the best build so far as far as I can tell (only limited testing for about an hour). Slightly strange as I thought the playback improvements were the same in version 6.95.1.2 (test build) and version 6.95.1.3? I figure there must be something about 6.95.1.3 that is causing playback issues as it's actually worse than any of the previous builds, at least for me!

Hey 6.95.1.2 test build seems to be working really well so I'm not being negative just thought i'd flag up a possible issue that some other users may be experiencing even if they don't realise it, if you know what I mean.

EDIT: and that last comment is not aimed at costaman as I believe that he does have perfect playback.

Notes: Reverted to 6.95.1.2-test-build from 6.95.1.3 because of judder on video playback.

PatrickJB The only reason I can think of why playback on 6.95.1.2 is smoother for your than on 6.96.1.3 is that 6.95.1.2 contains some experimental patches for better CPU load balancing. That's actually the only difference between these two builds. Maybe when you have so many addons installed that thing matters.

[topher67]

PatrickJB are you talking about stuttering on stored media or streaming media?
I'm on 6.95.1.3 and dont experience any stuttering at all. Have a ton of addons too. Lol.
Just my experienc.…

Mxq I have tried everything, blue light black screen tried uboot tried image files and nothing seems to work. Can somebody help please. Also It stays in boot loop.

[kszaq]

Warth7 Do you mean you are not able to boot my OE builds but Android works? Your photos have very low resoultion (freaktab forum bug) but your board looks very similar to kiwi_man82's. Try running 6.0.3.1 build. If you are not able to run Android, look at this post.

kszaq topher67

I've made a breakthrough, hopefully! I made a few changes to my Kodi settings the main one that I think may be responsible for the judder it switching from 'Best Match' to 'Optimized" in the audio settings. I did change a few other things but I'm chilling out at the mo so will report back tomorrow.

I will try 6.95.1.3 tomorrow on my backup box to see if it is simply the audio settings. Perhaps there's a bit of a bottle neck there that becomes apparent depending on which setting the user chooses.

i am using cyx_MXQ_8189etv_8g1g_kodi_addons_160126_SD升级 right now and it boots up but when i install update it flashes android off and black screen over and over

[Warth7]

yes i have the same board as @kiwi_man82's

[Warth7]

is there a uboot for the OE builds, i use tooth pick and nothing just black screen

[kiwi_man82]

Good. Can you collect logs for me right after booting? Instructions in first post.

You want me to collect logs for 6.0.3.1 is that correct? Even thou it is booting and running good? Or did you want me to try another build and collect logs on that?
