Hello and Thanks again KOPRajs. I gave the command above a try, unfortunately it did not fully work. When booting while the AV out was connected to the old TV before I got a brief white bar that would come on screen for a mere moment but after that nothing but black. I ran the command and went to test it out but now after the flash of the white bar there was a rolling white bar sort of "TV static" -like. I remembered that when we first got the box I had to switch from PAL to NTSC due to a similar output being observed. I searched around here and found that 480cvbs would be NTSC so I edited the disp_cap to that. Still no luck. I then searched these forums for other mentions of 480cvbs and LE 9, tried this as well

echo 480cvbs > /sys/class/display/mode

with both files matching regarding 480 or 576 values inside them. still no joy.

thanks again in advance. if you need me to post any logs to assist simply give me the path to find them and I'll gladly upload.

KOPRajs, Thanks for your reply. That's unfortunate about the AV Port. I'm assuming by "no way to get it to work" you mean it's literally impossible? Not something I could hope gets addressed someday?

Also, I followed the directions you provided to get the device booting on the internal NAND and it does work now. I still can't seem to see the box via samba...after the device got to booting from internal the IP it was getting changed but I figured that out. I'd like to update the box fully before I consider purchasing any additional harware to convert hdmi down to analog

I am able to connect via ssh at the IP I found. the ls command there does not show an update directory, could I somehow mount that and transfer the .tar file a page or so back to the box that way?

UPDATE: Ok so rather than fight with the Samba through windows explorer i downloaded winscp and have successfully connected to the box and can view the entire file system, move items back and forth between my windows system and the box...BUT, i can't find /storage/.update ..../storage is visible off the root but inside are just the photo, movies, backup etc. directories.

Update again....got it have to manually type in .update in winscp ui. Updated n running like a dream. thx so much for all the hard work....if someone with skills greater than mine ever gets the AV out (where the reset button is hiding) operational as an output too pls let me know how!!

hello. Despite my very noobness with android boxes and linux I recently successfully flashed and setup with the add-ons I need the 8.0.2 build and was wondering a few things. First. I have to connect this box to an older TV using the AV output. Is there a way to activate this as it seems to only work with hdmi currently. I found reference to editing a config.txt file for a Pi build to turn on the port but it doesnt seem to exist in my box or the usb...again super noob here. Also, when I flashed in that image from recovery the box would not boot all the way into kodi unless the ext3 formatted USB labeled libreelec_data was still connected...not huge issue there really but the USB I used has an annoying red light that never turns off so the internal storage option would be better...I can't seem to figure that out though. I do have Ubuntu booting for trial on another USB and Im a longtime windows user so any directions provided could go either way but do need to be very step by step for my noobNess to follow...directions such as mount such n such without the actual command are going to cause more head scratching. Thanks in advance for any help and your patience while I learn.

UPDATE. So I was reading backwards through this thread late last night and came across the \\boxip connection through windows explorer. I attempted this to see if I could locate that config.txt file I mentioned...sadly I get an error stain windows can't find \\192.168.0.28...and yes I confirmed that is the ip both from the router and the LE settings in the box. Further confusion. I assumed this connection is via the samba svc in LE and verified it is enabled according to that same LE settings section in the kodi ui.
