    Howdy All,,

    I have uploaded the latest beta build of Openelec 7.0 (6.95.2a) HERE

    This build uses kszaq 's kernel, so we get the new experimental CEC drivers ( configurable under System->Settings->System->Input Devices->Peripherals )

    CEC is still a little quirky (The basics work fine on my Samsung TV), & there are a lot more configurable options (Whether they actually *work*, YMMV

    There is a known regression in Kodi 16 (including all my test builds) relating mostly to x264/hevc - codesnake is reworking the graphics subsystem, so we should see some pretty big improvements in this area in the not too distant future.

    What has been fixed in this build is Gig-E, along with an end to the "musical mac addresses" we've had with both wlan & ethernet for quite a while now, oh, & of course all the relevant goodness that the new beta brings

    Due to the above problems with OE7/K16, I decided to bite the bullet & backport the only feature from OE7 that I use (BT Headset support - It's still clumsy to use, but appears to work as well as it does in OE7 - Once I'm sure it doesn't break anything, I'll probably include it as standard in my OE6 builds...

    Cheers!

    I have released build 6.0.3d - This build reverts to 6.0.3b's kernel, which fixes lan stability. Apart from the kernel, all the latest OE6/Kodi improvements are incorporated.

    There are still a few issues with my OE7 test builds relating to lan connections, which I have isolated & working on a fix for atm.

    Cheers!

    really really appreciate all your hard work! i'll update to 6.0.3d tonight, even though version c is rock solid on my tronsmart right now.

    wilro for president.

    Perfect timing, thanks Wilro. Will do backup and restore from openelec 7 to this one :P

    Okay I am going to give this a shot on the weekend, So I download OE 6.03c which is stil kodi 15.2 and I downloaded the most recent test build of OE7 dated the march 25 which is Jarvis. So to my understanding all I am going to have to do unzip the files then copy them to a fresh formatted sd card. do this for each build separately. Then insert card, insert toothpick hold power and once it begins to load just sit back and wait till it completes right and this will give me straight openelec no dual booting right.

    exactly. grab the toothpick zip file, and unzip it. only takes a couple of mins to update at most. i've done many flashes and never encountered a problem.

    What do you guys think?

    it would be so awesome if I could bring my addons and repo installs over every-time I try new build from Wilro.
    Plug a USB stick into a usb port on your box. Fat 32 format is what my usb's are formatted to. Then open
    OpenELEC Settings/ Scroll to Backup/ Create System and Kodi Backup / Choose the usb you have mounted. As the path where the Backup will be written.
    On the new build you would choose restore from previous backup (instead of create system and kodi backup. Choose the usb you previously wrote the backup to
    and choose the dated backup to restore from.

    If I enable "Wait for network before starting Kodi" with the default 10 seconds it still doesn't work. Increasing the timeout to 30 seconds also makes no difference.
    I have the same issue as well. Also the RSS feed only displays one letter and no other text scrolls by except for one letter.

    Had some time this week to play with OE and I've found the latest build 6.0.3c is causing random reboots and sometimes it freezes booting to the home screen. This is with a toothpick install and no sdcard in the bay. All you can see is the background and mouse curser, I've let it sit frozen for 15min and it doesn't get through it... This doesn't happen with 6.0.3b which I find very stable. I have three boxes my daughters have picked up on this and refuse to watch my "Test" box as they say it doesn't work as well as the other two... (6.0.3b) LOL

    Thanks Again, Frank
    Hi Frank,

    Thanks for the report - This seems to be something related to the new kernel - I'm not seeing this myself, but will try reverting back to my heavily patched 6.0.3b kernel for my next build - The new kernel+backports was the only real major change between builds "b" & "c"

    winny.uk , tjay78 - Sorry, my bad - I haven't been able to heavily test the ethernet side lately (My "test" environment has no ethernet connectivity

    ​ Well, I was trying to get my builds as close to kszaq 's as possible going forward - Unfortunately it appears that a lot of the optimisations he's made for the M8b's are causing a bit of havoc on our 'ol MX3G's, so I'll go back to my cherry picked patched kernel from my 6.0.2b build + the new wifi driver's to see if this resolves these issues.

    I will take this kernel into my test builds for K16 when I'm sure these regressions are resolved

    tjay78 thanks for the advice, I'll give that a try. For what it's worth the wireless connection works every time on dhcp but its not as reliable as ethernet for buffering and throughput.

    I've found no other problems with this build so far. It's allowed me to lift all clients up to the latest version of Kodi using a central library in mysql. Thanks Wilro.

    But use static IP and it works fine..
