[7.0.3.3d] LibreELEC 7.0 for S805

Quote from rev6

Just a clean install of the latest LibreELEC. I noticed he's been working a lot on the CEC implementation, now we can change settings related to it in input devices. I guess since then it hasn't worked properly (here anyway). I was content on Helix for a while.
How do you go about using Kszqa's LibCEC Daemon?

1. Install the new addon (tools.libcec-daemon-7.0.2.zip)

2. Put this line in autostart.sh :

(
libcec-daemon;
) &

3. Turn "off" the CEC control in System\Peripherals

4. Reboot

anyone know how to get retroarch running on this firmware?

I've tried downloading several different zip files from various sites, but i can't get retroarch to boot. It will install and the pop up displays to say that it's enabled, but when you go to launch the program, nothing happens. One of the guides I read said that it takes a while on first boot for anyhing to happen, but I left it for about an hour and still nothing. It's not frozen, the box is stil working and after leaving it an hour I tried navigating the menu's and kodi is still working fine, but the retroarch program just doesn't boot.

any ideas?

Take a look at this link:

I've done this thanks. CEC still stops functioning not long after startup. Unless I did something wrong.

That means your TV's implementation of CEC is not 100% up to spec. Look to see if there is a firmware update for your TV. Other than that you will have to wait for a fix for the Amlogic kernel...(Not going to happen )

Hello my friends, I was having trouble loading mxq but the God himself kszaq DM maybe I should try m201d and that came out to be the problem. I was thinking the file was for a whole different box. But now I got it to load but my remotes won't work. Where can I get get the android remote file??

I think you better start reading from link:

LibreELEC

I've been hoping to get the Front LED working on my sumvision cyclone x4. I ended up with the LED almost working. I had installed EXTRACTME_MXQ_M12_S805_revert-ember-to-android.rar and noticed that the Front LED works fine, I then installed Libreelec 7.0.2.4, the front LED now goes from red to blue, slight problem when I do a power off system, the LED goes from blue to red, but only stays red for about a second, then goes to blue. Same behaviour for OpenElec "6.95", so not sure if LED mods have any bearing for Sumvision x 4. But the point is the LED works fine with android mentioned in rar file above. The Front LED also works with a google tv andoid image (s85_106k4_0912.img) I flashed with "Amlogi usb burning tool (setup_v2.0.3_x86.exe)".
Hope this helps.

Ive been trying to get the sumvision cyclone x4 remote to work, I copied the remote.conf (/etc/) file from my original sumvision cyclone x4 factory installed andoid. Copied it to /etc/ and /storage/.config. Not all the buttons work, which is odd, because i've used this remote.conf on all the andoid builds I've tried (wetek gift, google TV, etc) and it always works fine. You can use TWRP version "2.7" for amlogic by "Abdul" to copy from SD card to /etc/, under advanced -> file manager. I also use TWRP for all my SD card installs. In linux You Just open a terminal and do "ssh root@ip_address", ie "ssh root:192.168.0.12", if You andoid box's ip address is 192.168.0.12. Then You just "reboot recovery", a lot easier than pressing reset at power up. Anyway, off to see if I can sort the remote conf out.

It worked fine with Helix. Thanks for the help.

Still no luck getting retroactively running properly

I've updated the binary and the assets and database folders so it does run and roms boot ok with sound etc.

But the only way to boot to it is by shh and using the following:

/storage/.kodi/addons/emulator.tools.retroarch/bin/retroarch.sh fceumm --menu

All other commands fail. So I can't boot a rom directly from ssh anymore (which I could before updating the binary), and no matter what I try, I can not get the menu to boot from kodi using the favourites method.

So I basically have a working retroarch, but I can't boot into it without my laptop and ssh.

::EDIT::

also, I feel like with all the swapping files around to get this all working this far, my system has become a little messy. ....so once I figure out all the kinks I plan on resetting my box and setting things up clean from scratch. Is there a quick and easy way to factory reset on libreelec?

::EDIT2::

after moving some of the files around again I am now at a stage where the latest binary is updated and running. I can boot roms direct via ssh, or I can boot to the xmb menu via ssh.....so everything is working fine.....but i still can not boot into retroarch in any way shape or form directly from the kodi box itself. the only way to launch retroarch is via ssh using my laptop.

the problem seems to be that if you set up the new retroarch2.sh and .start files, they are not recognised properly, so when you create a favourite to them, nothing launches because it can'[t find the files.

is there any other way to copy files to the system storage other than using kodi file manager? i am pretty sure that this is what's cuasing the problem...because even if i jsut replace the original .start and .sh files with the new ones, i then can't boot anything from ssh, it just says retroarch.sh not found

chmod +x /storage/.config/*

Your .start and .sh files lack the proper permissions if they are not loading from Kodi.

I just recently was able to flash my mxq with m201d but now remote don't work. I've been trying to research to get the remote to work. I don't have no knowledge of coding what's so ever. I place the remote.conf.txt in configfiles but remote still don't work. Am I suppose to copy it in hosts.conf? That where I'm think I need to put it in there's a picture of it in the bottom.

And that remote.conf.txt was all ready in there.

I think You need to name the file remote.conf and not remote.conf.txt.

ok with 512 gig ram if i constantly clear cache, thumbnail and purge packages will that keep it from freezing?

So yeah, if your box only boots up the m201d version then chances are it's a 512meg device even thou it was probably advertised as a 1 gig unit. We have been over this with kszaq and if I understood him correctly in android these boxes use a 512meg swap to provide 1 gig ram. Cunning and totally inaccurate. I don't have any major problems with my 512 device. Only thing I've noticed is buffering but that could be due to sources or my Internet speed more than the box not having enough ram to buffer. It seems to be manly live streaming services I have that issue with thou

Please make a signature with details of your box. It really helps people identify problems that people are having with the same box.
Even though the s805 is very good at managing ram, it wont help much purging packages, thumbnails and cache clearing.
From the 512mb you will be getting down to 100mb or less when videos are played and then you will have issues.
