This is just great, thanks so much. A new lease of life for my senile old M8 box.

Only one problem here, all 3 shutdown options just reboot so have to pull the power to switch off. Otherwise perfect. (Eny M8 Square box)

Yes, I had the same issue on the newer ones. If you connect to the box though ssh and run `top` you most probably would see a process called brcmpatch using 100% of one of the cores. To get rid of the issue I had to do a reset config in LE settings. a reboot after that, it was all fine. You will lose all your settings though including any kodi addons that you may have installed.

Thanks very much for the reply.

Didn't work for my box, maybe time to finally bin my M8 and get a second s905 or s912 box.

8.2.3 is the latest version and even that is from almost a year ago. Why are you using 8.0RC4?

Because it's the only one that works properly on my M8 box. All the more recent versions have very high CPU usage at all times which affects interface speed, playback etc.

Thanks very much for all your work for these boxes.

Just confirming there is a problem in recent builds for the M8 box, regarding CPU usage.

8.0.RC4 gives idle CPU usage around 3%.

More recent versions idle CPU usage is around 30-40%.

These figures are with wifi and bluetooth both disabled.

Thanks very much for the quick and friendly responses.

I do have an airmouse/kb controller which works and I love, but my wife hates it!!

Anyway all is working now, I had an error on line 1 of my config file (total n00b!!)

Thanks again!!

The following post I mentioned above was also from this thread and this forum, and is also regarding CoreElec...

LE9.0 remote configs ir-keytable Amlogic devices

His question, unlike mine, was answered politely and in a non-twattish manner.

Thank you so much for your assistance.

I really hope someone can help me as this is driving me mad..

I have a Tronsmart Vega S95 Telos.
CoreElec 8.95.7 Fresh install with correct DTB file.

I follow the steps on Page 1 and get the "14 commands written successfully to driver" message, but the remote still does nothing.

Much the same problem as

LE9.0 remote configs ir-keytable Amlogic devices

I also copied the line

0x100 KEY_FAVORITES

to my config file as suggested here..
LE9.0 remote configs ir-keytable Amlogic devices

But still nothing. Can someone save me please?
