that sucks I bought this device for librelec. superceleron will make a rom for it, then it will at least get better than it is now.

you have to remap all keys to get the remote to work in libreelec.

How did/do you remap the keys?

I await Android Tv rom from superceleron to make this device what advert said.. Lol

Hmmmm I just got it... Doesnt seem all doom and gloom as postings suggest... .works pretty good out of the box. Stock firmware always less then perfect i know few that ship with good running firmware..

Most Doors stops are not Doom and Gloom, Oh you talking about the media player, sorry
Yes its OK has some strange habits, it will improve.

I didn't, I just read that what you have to do on the libreelec forum. but after all it seems that's not possible with this box:

This box is not good for running libreelec it seems.

OK, I found and followed those, didn't have to do much, and have a working remote in LibreELEC. Don't need WiFi, prefer wired so this is a great box for me with LE.

Assume you mean the remote? Turns out all I needed to do was take a copy of the remote.conf from the Android environment. Booted to LibreELEC and copied it to Configfiles share, which is actually /storage/.config. Then I edited the following;

custom_code change to factory_code
Added 0001 to the end of the now factory_code line
Also had to change the 'Linux code' on Menu and Enter entries from 125 to 46 for Menu, and 97 to 28 for Enter.

Did you try it yet? Doesn't appear to be available OTA?

OK I tried it and it failed to install.
