Is there a way through SSH to determine what WiFi chip I have or do I have to crack open the box?

Thanks

I have not yet opened the box but did find a community 9.8.0 build with which WiFi works. The driver module details are as follows:

LibreELEC:~ # modinfo xradio_wlan
filename:       /lib/modules/5.7.0/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/xradio/xradio_wlan.ko
alias:          xradio_core

There is, but you would have to power up wifi first via DT (overlay or editing). It's easier to crack it open. However, if you don't feel like doing it, that's ok.

Let me see if I can find out something from Android forums though I suppose the risk is that the posters may not have the identical units as mine.

BTW, which wifi chip is on your board? There are many variants of this board and 3 different wifi chips are known. I'm working on mainline driver support for all 3, so I would like to find people with all variants for testing.

Thanks for clarifying as a lot of Hoo Ha previously with this source code business made me cautious.

tX3Mini_dtb.img.zip

I have 8.2.3.1 running with the device tree from the original 8.2 thread. Would I have to do a complete reinstall if I wanted to use this device tree instead?

And what functionality would then exist for the front display of the tx3mini?

Thanks.

See is you can change settings to fix your issue.

I tried disabling it but that didn't help. Then I saw the HDMI port was set to 1 and I remembered that the problem resulted in the TV switching to HDMI port 1. I changed it to the port that the LE is actually connected to and the problem has not reappeared!

Thanks.

I haven't had this problem before, or at least haven't noticed this, but my 4K LG TV will occasionally lose signal over HDMI from my S905W box running 8.2.3.1 and switch to a different HDMI port. When I use the TV remote to switch back to the port, everything is fine.

This definitely happens while in the GUI may be related to when the screensaver kicks in. I'm not a 100% sure but if a video was playing when this happened, it continued to play even while offscreen; the video was not paused via the GUI.

Other video sources connected to the same video port such as a DVD player do not show this behavior. Switching the LE box to a different LE port does not help either.

Has anyone seen this? Any suggestions for a remedy or even further debug?

Thanks.

Ever since I figured out how to get my TV to show the signal it is getting at a HDMI port, I haven't been able to get LE to pass through 720p content without upscaling it to 1080p. I've made the GUI resolution 720p, and tried various combinations of "Adjust display rate" and "Sync playback to display" in Player Settings.

Have I missed something? I'd like to compare the TV's upscaling to that of my S905W box running 8.2.1.2

Thanks.

Search on the play store for Reboot to Libreelec

I can soft reboot in both directions.

Thanks again!

If you have installed Libreelec to usb or sd card, then by using the default estuary skin, you can reboot to internal nand (android)

If you are in android, you can install an android app reboot to Libreelec

I do have LE installed on USB and will try the reboot from LE to Android tonight.

What is the Android app I should install to reboot in the other direction?

Thanks.

P.S.: Still need to deal with the balky remote Maybe the Xiaomi bluetooth remote control that's been talked about

I bought a Tanix TX3 Mini to get a feel for both Android TV and LE on a box with an Ethernet port and have realized that I want to dual-boot between Android and LE. The remote receiver in this box is very finicky and I have to use a toothpick to dual boot.

Are there boxes that are easier to dual-boot (say with a reset switch) and that have remotes that have a large capture range? It will be hooked up to a 1080p TV for the near future and I am OK to buy another box when I upgrade the TV to 4K.

Thanks.

tangoxray or others,

What method worked for you to boot from an external storage device? If a USB stick, which USB slot that did you have to put it into?

Thanks.
