Where would I find the latest LibreELEC Kodi 17.X version to download for Minix X8H plus?

I measure it in Celsius.
My S905X runs without turning it off and right now it's 54 C.
I should have stated it, my cheap as chips box temp is in degrees C, just checked again and at idle mine is now 75 degrees C,
Maybe your box has a better heat sink/cooler processor.
-
Definitely not all, because mine stays at fifty something in iddle and sixty something when playing a movie.
And this is the CPU temperature, the plastic box stays below hand warm.
My idling S905X temperature is 71

Some of the S912 (if not all?) boxes can get quite hot. I feel much more comfortable turning mine off when I don't use it since it stays at a constant 78°C when not using it.
Ahh, I don't have a 912 box, so I guess it's a question of pulling out the power cable and putting it back in.
I wonder if you had a remote powered plug if that would work?
-
Why switch it off? Really?
Uses very very little power I just leave my boxes on.
DO you have a PVR and switch that off?
I leave my PVR on as well

Thanks HEYYO And who will be responsible for turning on H96 ? I can't find it , just see reboot, shutdown etc
Why would you want to switch it off?

Is it possible to make the remote controller that came with my box (see attached pic) to work in this build?
Have a look in here, should be one that matches what you are looking for, look for MXQ Pro 4K as remotes may look identical yet be different.
If you don't find a ready made one in above, enjoy making your own, or if you wish to modify the one you find, see here:-

LibreElec=Operating System=Linux (Not Android, Not Windows)
OpenVPN=Application (to connect to and use VPNs)
Jaaxx,
Am I correct in thinking that OpenVPN allows me to connect my LibreELC (Kodi) to a VPN of my choice, currently I use Avira.
If yes, would you point me in the right direction to read up on how to install/use OpenVPN
-
Is there any guide that you can recommend for programming the remotes keys to functions?
Hope this helps:-

So you can see...
Yes, but can't make any sense of it, which is why I will give looking at it anymore a miss

Jeffers DTB is a binary file, if you want to read its contents you need to convert it to DTS first. "dtc" is the tool you need. I don't know if it exists for Windows, to sure you can use Cygwin to run it.
Thanks for response, it's getting a bit technical for me, I'll leave it to you experts
-
Yes.
Yes.Any text editor/viewer.
Thanks for response, I had tried notepad++, what was displayed was not very readable see small extract below, which is why I thought there must be something better.

The default dtb contains the following dtbs: gxb_p200_1g, gxb_p200_2g, gxl_p212_1g, gxl_p212_2g, gxl_p230_2g
Is that five DTB configurations in one file and the correct configuration is chosen depending on the box configuration?
Do you know what is in the default S912 DTB file?
I tried to open a DTB file but did not have the appropriate app, what is the best app to use?

This will vary from skin to skin. I use Titan for krypton beta
Skin Settings, Configure shortcuts, Customize power menu, Add, Change Action, Custom item, then type in System.ExecWait("/usr/sbin/rebootfromnand")
Then set label, call it whatever, reboot to nand, reboot to internal, Reboot to Android.
Set Thumbnail, & select an icon or whatever you want.
Hopefully that is correct, I did find it was slow to reboot. So give it time
bubblegum,
Worked perfectly for me in AeonNox 5, set up a submenu item as you described, just need to be a little patient (few seconds) while rebook starts.
Now I can boot to either Android or LibreELEC using remote via AeonNox 5 submenu options

Why would boxes get hotter running a less demanding LibreELEC OS, rather than a demanding Android OS?
I have noticed my CPU usage is a lot less running LibreELEC than Android.
-
It's getting too off-topic. It's neither S912 nor even LibreELEC related any more. You'd be much better off discussing these matters in the Kodi forums.
Hi Forage,
I asked here because it was highlighted as a solution.
I will ask the question in Kodi, if I ask 'How do you make a button' will it make sense over in the Kodi forum?
What kind of button am I asking about?
-
Yes, that worked for me, thanks
How do you 'make a button'?

Just please read the forum posts regarding remote.conf file to get your remtoe wroking to your box. There is a specioal forum sectiopn regarding remotes and it is really quite easy to make your own remote conf file to work with your device. Please go read the remote configurtation section of this forum by going to this thread called Create remote.conf from scratch Just checked and it is easy to find by lookign in the list of this forum's threads but hey you can just click on that name as it is also a link of course.
I made my own for my Beelink MXIII II S905x box and it is spot on and does all I wanted and even more fucntions too that I mapped into it like a remote button for play/pause for example. Must get around to posting my Beelink remote.conf file in there as should be useful to many with this same box running LE8.
Ray,
I have read the forums and I am half way creating the remote.conf I want, thanks to help from Poida.
The reason for my post was I remember reading that if I didn't need/use LIRC that my remote may work without a remote.conf, I could be misunderstanding the post?
The issue I have at the moment is finding a complete list of key action codes. I eventually found an incomplete list, it only goes up to code 2XX, when I know that there are codes in the 3XX range.
Do you have a list you can share, or can point me in the right direction for a complete list including the 3XX codes?
