Nexbox A95X (GXL) SSH not Working

Hi,

So, LE 11.0.1 works perfectly fine as far as I’ve tested (the specific DTB has no sound but the generic works), even the remote works with the meson files that I’m using on CE. Bought a new fast MicroSD and it’s nearly as fast as I remember it was on emmc. It is a clean installation.

Today, due to a malfunctioning addon, the creator has asked me to test a couple of things through SSH, but to my surprise I’ve not been able to make my iPad, iPhone, MacOS nor W11 to connect to it with u:“root” & p:”libreelec”, also tried without password. Tested also in a friends house to discard the router. Doing a “ping” to the box works.

I’ve searched for the problem without luck. Am I missing something?? Is there anything in my hand to make it work??

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Have you enabled "disable password auth" in SSH options? - this will not stop the box for prompting for a password if you connect, but it will stop passwords from ever being accepted.

Are you using the original remote for the box? .. If yes, can you share the files? - I can see the issue with audio; the required sound-card nodes are missing from meson-gxl-s905-nexbox-a95x.dts. This is simple to fix and I would like to add audio/remote and have you test.

Hey! Thanks for replying. I tried the “disable password auth” too, that is what I meant with “tried without password”, sorry for the wrong explanation.

In my house it is not working, but I have tried at a friends house with a better router and both LE (and CE) work over SSH!! There must be something going on with my OEM router. I’m so sorry for wasting your time BTW, I’m using “Termius” on the iPad.

About the remote, yes, I’m using the original remote. I’m using the meson-ir files from here: https://github.com/CoreELEC/remot…R/NexBox%20A95X

I paste “a95x” on “.config/rc_keymaps/” folder and “rc_maps.cfg” on “.config/“

About the DTB, I will be happy to test it. Are there important differences between the generic and the specific A95X one??

Regards.

Is the box connected via Ethernet or WiFi? .. some wireless routers isolate devices on the wireless network so e.g. WLAN connected iPad will not be able to reach WLAN connected LE device. Connecting the box to Ethernet would fix that. Or it might be the app having an issue with the SSH certificate algorithm being used (although unlikely I think).

Pls create an SD from https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE….0.2-box.img.gz and set meson-gxl-s905x-nexbox-a95x.dtb in uEnv.ini. I doubt it will help the SSH issue but hopefully HDMI audio and the IR remote should work out-of-box now? If you're able to access the box via SSH please run "pastekodi" and share the log file URL. The dtb could use some other cleanup/changes but one step at a time.

The box has been connected always through ethernet, in my house and at my friends house. At my friends house works with LibreELEC (and CoreELEC) using the iPad, so I guess that the problem is with my router.

I only have a couple of MicroSDs (one for CE and the other for LE), so as soon I can I will try it, give feedback and upload the log. Thank you!!

Regards.

Uh oh, while playing a video I’ve experienced freezes every ~30min, as if someone has pressed the “Pause” button. I have to exit the movie and then resume it until it stop again ~30min later. Nothing special, a mkv 720p x264 file. I’ve got the change refresh rate on “start/stop”. I’ve done a search and found out that this is a thing with LE, but I’ve never experienced this with Kodi before.

Is this a known issue???

Regards.

Hi chewitt I have installed your 11.0.2 version with the modded DTB for the A95X. The sound seems to be working. The oem IR remote has not worked from the start, I have needed to connect a mouse.

The box gives avahi and cron errors until the second boot. It also did it on 11.0.1 oficial.

I will try to upload a log tomorrow.

Regards

Sorry for the long delay. Here you have the “pastekodi” return url, I’ve run it after the first boot with your version, just after the pop-up screen setup: http://ix.io/4tSf

I will now try the remote thing.

EDIT: Done the remote thing, and found out nearly the same that the CoreElec meson-ir keymap says, except the “KODI”, world symbol and backspace buttons, these last two at the bottom corners. The protocol is also “NEC”

EDIT 2: My (a little) tuned remote keymap. I cannot find a use for the “world symbol”:

# table a95x, type: nec
0xdf54 KEY_1
0xdf16 KEY_2
0xdf15 KEY_3
0xdf50 KEY_4
0xdf12 KEY_5

0xdf4b KEY_PREVIOUS
0xdf4f KEY_NEXT
0xdf1c KEY_POWER
0xdf01 KEY_PLAYPAUSE
0xdf10 KEY_BACKSPACE

I see no reply from anybody. Has my log and test helped??

Thanks and regards.

No problem, I am just interested in helping if it is needed.
