    Oh ok. I am staying at the previous image because my mxq is indeed all black.

    I will try to update the Realtek WiFi drivers later, but now unfortunately I am struggling with the Widevine CDM issue.

    I successfully migrated version 9.2.7 (officially released exclusively for RPi devices) to 32-bit only S8X2 devices, but for some reason it doesn't really want to work on the 64-bit S905 branch. ;(

    I already have a working (and configured) installation of le 9.2.6 on my (s805) mxq from your images here.

    Index of /S805/

    Is it worth doing a fresh install from the images you made today? I assume I can back up my current configuration and restore it when the new image is installed. I am interested to see if it solves the the wifi connection issues I have (message 74).

    This image is not made for the MXQ "all black" boxes (HD18Q/m201d), it is for the MXQ-S85 (which has a red "MX" stripe and a button on the top) and the MK808B+ only.

    Otherwise, this image only affects Broadcom wifi/bluetooth drivers, so unfortunately this may not solve the signal strength issues with Realtek chips.

    Thanks for looking into this, dtech!

    If you need a hint, kszaq's MXQ 8.2.3.1 build has bluetooth working for the MK808B+. See RE: [8.2.3.1] LibreELEC 8.0 for S805

    I made a new image that already has the correct remote control config.

    I restored the original wifi/bluetooth stack so this version should be checked to see if it works:

    Hi dtech - the dmesg log - Untitled in plain_text (s35bms77qe) - PasteCode.io

    Please notice and remote control, because I have problem with remote too, I try to make own remote.conf but when I press a key nothing is logged with "dmesg –c"

    Unfortunately, dmesg doesn’t tell us anything about the wlan interface.

    Please try this under LE 8.2.3:

    Code
    lshw -C network

    ... and this:

    Code
    cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/vendor
    cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/device

    However, dmesg revealed the configuration of your remote control. ;)

    You need this: remote.conf

    Thank you dtech i tried with this tree, the box starts, but have only wired /lan/ network, wifi and remote control don't work. I copied remote.conf from http://remote.conf/4040-m8s and paste into storage/.config folder, but the remote doesn't work.

    When I use build 8.2.3 of Libreelec with the same device three have not problems with wifi and remote control.

    Can you give me advice or help me. Thank you in advance.

    If you still have LE 8.2.3, I would need a dmesg.

    Somehow I should identify the wifi because it could easily be that you have a wifi chip that is missing from the image.

    Just to confirm, I rename this file to dtb.img and copy it to my SD card right?

    If so, when I go to "LibreELEC - Bluetooth" - it says "No bluetooth adapter found." So it didn't work for me on my MK808B Plus. Let me know if you want me to try again with another dtb file.

    Okay, I'm investigating this because I don't know which wifi/bluetooth chip is in the MK808B+ device.

    Dtech = thank you for answer, but for the older build of Libreelec I used device tree gxbb_p200_2G_100M_RealtekWiFi because the lan of my Mini M8S is 100 mbit, if I use S905-LE-9.2.6/MXQ-Pro-4K_1G may be I will have problems with network, if it is possible can you tell me where I can download device tree gxbb_p200_2G_100M_RealtekWiFi for this new release.

    gxbb_p200_2G_100M_RealtekWiFi.dtb

    Sorry for the late reply, I'm pretty busy lately. I will try to answer the questions raised.

    I try to install this build on Mini m8s, but the network and remote control doesn't work, can you give me an advice which build to use for my tv box ? Chipset is s905

    You need to try this one: Index of /3rdParty/S905-LE-9.2.6/MXQ-Pro-4K_1G/

    If you find your own remote control among these, you can install it according to the description:

    Index of /remote.conf/

    TIL that this command returns the device tree for used by each device.

    Code
    cat /proc/device-tree/amlogic-dt-id

    ...

    Are they correct?

    This command reads the ID from the header of the loaded DTB, so if a bad DTB is loaded, it will also read the wrong ID.

    So unfortunately it does not tell you exactly the type of device.

    If the H18Q build doesn't support bluetooth, then perhaps dtech can make a build that supports MXQ, I read an older LE8 MXQ build has bluetooth working: RE: [8.2.3.1] LibreELEC 8.0 for S805

    I didn’t say Bluetooth isn’t supported, just that the HD18Q doesn’t have a Bluetooth chip. You should test to see if it works because Bluetooth support is present in the build.

    Hello dtech, thanks for this image to revive my M8s box after so long. I tried it and everything seems to work normal except the remote control which is not one of the most common but I can live without it. I also did not test the ethernet but it probably does not work because my box is a 10/100 and the image is for the M8s + that has 100/1000 but the wifi works correctly. What I am interested in is installing emulators but they are not available when I go to install them for games, the only options that appear to me are Independent games, controller profiles and game providers. Can this be corrected? Sorry about my English, I had to use the translator. Greetings :)

    99% that your Ethernet works, even if it's only 10/100. ;)

    My own set of remote controls can be found here, maybe yours is among them: Index of /remote.conf/

    Unfortunately, the games were not included in the support because they take up a lot of space during code compilation, so I was forced to skip them. If you need games, unfortunately you have to compile it yourself from my GitHub repo.

    Thank you so much for this,

    Revived my first tv box, an Amlogic s805 that I could not find working roms for!

    Thank you for your feedback. ;)

    On the box, when I try to install almost anything, e.g. a skin or an addon from the main repo, I always get the message that downloading failed after a while.

    It was my fault, I forgot to add the device to the list in the repo, so you couldn't even query the file list of the LE's repo. I've fixed this, I'm sorry about that.

    Unfortunately, I have no idea about the instability of wifi yet, but at least it already means something that works at the kernel level.

    Wifi is a major issue for me :P Hdmi cec seems to work on that one, installation on the rom does not (as you mentioned, I have not tested it and I am not willing to) so what else shall I test?

    Ce on the 905 works as it should with no major issues, but I hesitate to install it on the rom.

    So, now I ask the question:

    Are you interested in an LE image that can be installed on NAND on your MXQ Pro 4K (which also has working a wifi driver) or not?

    Because if not, then I'm not going to struggle with the image, and in that regard, I will leave the fight with your stuff and move on.

    However, if you are interested, then I need an "lsusb" output under CE, because we still haven’t clarified exactly what wifi chip is in your S905.

    So I found an sd and tried your build of le 9.2.6 that you mentioned. And as you predicted, wifi was not available at all.

    What can I do? Maybe use a different device tree?

    No, this is not a DTB issue as most Realtek wifi chips are connected via USB, so those are like external wifi interfaces.

    I previously removed support for these from my S8X2 and S905 images to make the disk image smaller, but I didn’t really gain much with it, so I’ll be back on them soon.

    However, did you find any other problem with the image besides the wifi issue that will be fixed soon?

    Code: fw_printenv | grep cecconfig
    cecconfig=cec0

    This "0" in your uboot config for CEC means that is turned off.

    You need to try this:

    Code
    fw_setenv cecconfig cec1f

    ... and then reboot.

    If that doesn't work either, make sure your TV has CEC enabled on the input source you are currently using, or try another HDMI cable.

    After that, a solution may be to go to Settings/System/Input/Peripherals/CEC Adapter -> "Reset above settings to default" and reboot again.

    How can I check that I do not have the same issue with the unsoldered pin? I can open the box, but where is it located?

    Did CEC work under the original Android? If it worked, the pin is soldered so the fault will be elsewhere.

    I would require a dmesg and an fw_setenv output from your S805 device, if possible.

    There is no lspci and lshw -C network reports that rtl8189es is used for it, so I am 99.9% sure it is realtek.

    The Realtek-based wireless chips are always connected to USB:

    Code: M8Q
    M8Q:~ # lsusb
    Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter
    Code: MXQ-m201d
    MXQ:~ # lsusb
    Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:0179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188ETV Wireless LAN 802.11n Network Adapter

    I'm sorry, but it was not clear which device you were asking for help.

    10-bit H.265 hardware playback will not work on the S805.

    Hardware decoding: H.265 1080p [email protected] 60fps, H.264 4K [email protected] 60fps. (Source: Amlogic - Wikipedia)

    I can’t really help with CEC, as there are plenty of clones from the MXQ boxes, and unfortunately the experience is that some works and some don’t. Unfortunately, I already had a device that would have supported CEC, but that pin was not soldered to the HDMI port either.

    I’ve seen your tribulations before with the MXQ Pro 4K, and I tried to respond to this, because the other topic doesn’t really lead anywhere, as I see it.

    Hello jim_p

    Which version did you install? If you use my old S905-based 9.0.2 (from 3rdParty), neither CEC nor amremote will work with it.

    Unfortunately, these do not work in the official LE kernel, which is why I switched to the previous kszaq version later in my own builds.

    You should try the 9.2.6 build for MXQ 4K Pro+ (2G):

    LibreELEC-MXQ-4K-Pro_2G.arm-9.2.6.img.gz

    with this DTB:

    gxbb_p200_1G_mxq_pro_4k.dtb

    IMPORTANT NOTICE:

    If you use an external DTB to boot, you should NEVER install it to the NAND directly, because it will NEVER boot!

    One more thing: if you have Realtek wifi in your box, it won’t work because those drivers aren’t currently in this image.

    But if this image works, we can easily help with that. ;)

    Libreelec is working very good on the MXIII only i have 1 problem and that is that i cannot turn it on when i turn the box off within kodi.

    It does go to sleep mode but then i cannot turn it on, not with the remote and also not with the power button.

    I had the same problem with the M8S (CS_812M8_V1.3). The manufacturer incorrectly implemented the shutdown method in the bootloader, unfortunately you can't really do anything about it. :(

    I tried to bring it back to life but I regret wasting so much time on this honestly, wasn't worth it.

    I'm sad to hear that. :(

    Unfortunately, none of the third-party providers officially support Kodi (e.g., Youtube, Spotify, Netflix, Amazon, HBO Go, etc.), so all of these add-ons are made by the community. They will never be as “good” as the official Android app created by the manufacturer, but there are some that still have an advantage (e.g. "No ads").

    Hello Darth,

    I have A Minix X8h Non Plus Box (S802)and your Rom Works Great For Me. I do have to mention that I use an external Usb Ethernet device for wired ethernet. I don't use wifi or have not tried the built in ethernet. Everything other than what I mentioned works. Great job and thanks.

    Okay, his name is datrh and not "Darth". If you really tested his image, you wrote in the wrong topic.

    However, he never made a 9.2.6 image, so... Whose firmware are you using now? It is not clear. :?:
