S905 builds - general discussion

Can we expect 7.9 build for S905 devices soon ?

So toothpick trick works no problem to boot LE, once in LE reboot to NAND works for booting back to Android.

I wanted to make this a dual boot without toothpick, using remote only, so I downloaded an app "Reboot Recovery". From reading the instruction it says another method to boot LE is to "Reboot into recovery", but when I use app it loads real recovery. How can I use android GUI to reboot into LE?

Also I’m having some read/write response times/speed issues stated in 7.0.2.006 thread, if anyone can help.

When I finish assembling .007, I will start porting S905 to LibreELEC master tree.

I think that 7.9 builds will start appearing this month, but I can't promise anything - life always provides lots of more important things to do.

Waiting for 007, hoping to see Bluetooth, 4K and ram improvements. You have done fantastic work for the s905, great to see it will be added to the LE master tree.

No need to rush for 7.9 release id be really happy to get 7.0.2 to a stable state.

I just updated the dead links

The links weren't dead for me, the zip file just doesn't work with the non Beelink MiniMX 2GB / 16 GB boxes that I have. Thanks anyway

Is it possible to control the power LED through a GPIO type command?
A95N S905 box.

Possibly somewhere in /sys/devices/ like /sys/devices/sysled.44/leds/led-sys?

I'd like to turn it off as it is really bright in a dark room. I've currently got some tape over it.

Edit:
Yes you can control it. Just need to find the off setting
Blue
echo 0 > /sys/devices/sysled.44/leds/led-sys/brightness
Red
echo 1to255 > /sys/devices/sysled.44/leds/led-sys/brightness

So I've bought a Beelink Mini MXiii to replace my Mini-MX (as I couldnt get it to boot from USB with .006 or .007) BUT this new Beelink has a hole for a pin to put into recovery mode (for the AMLScript thing to be able to boot from SD/USB) BUT there is no button under the hole from what I can tell poking around.

So the question is how to put it into recovery mode ? Thanks.

I suspect you havent pushed the paperclip in far enough. Perhaps the thing u are using is not thin enough.

Ahh yes, paperclip was the answer - it needed thicker and more pressure whereas the Mini-MX needed a pin. Thanks.

Just out of interest, is there a "software" way to put say the Beelink Mini MXiii into recovery mode, without holding button in ?

yes, use adb over network if on android or ssh and type reboot recovery. This is only for 005 or earlier 006 and higher you need to press the reset button.

This seems like a basic question but I did a few searches first and didn't find much, maybe I'm just using the wrong terms.

I finally got my library into my Mini MXIII (running from NAND) and I was going to switch over to Aeon Nox because I like to do playlist with custom menu titles.

I'm on expert settings and when I go to Appearance --> Skin --> Skin, the normal "get more" isn't there, just "cancel".

Is LibreELEC for s905 locked to confluence? Is it possible to easily change skins?

Thanks.

First verify your connection.
Second go into settings>add-on>check update.
In this way you force a repository update and then you should be able to download additional skins

I'm sure my connection was working because I had just scraped my entire library successfully. I will do the add-ons, check update and report back. Thanks.

Edit:
That worked! Thanks anthontex!

anybody with MX plus player 8GB storag / 1 GB ram / 1Gbit network?

i have one problem ... every boot device have different mac address so no posible use dhcp for static mac ... it is possible set mac address static via ssh? i tryed search but search in this forum not show complete post just part and not link to post so sory for post if it is there in 57 pages
