Little Faye complained earlier this morning that, since yesterday, the tvbox (the all black s805 mxq) plays nothing! By "nothing" she means "nothing that needs internet access", so I will start from there.
First and foremost, the box was connected to an open public network offered by the local municipality and that requires the user to open a browser and accept some terms before connecting. Let's assume that Faye found her way to libreelec settings > connections and connected to that open wifi. The home's wifi, where the tvbox is connected regularly, was still there, but when trying to connect to it, it asked for the key! Entering the key though still does not connect to the home's wifi! And this is where I decided get my hands dirty...
I enabled kodi's setting to show hidden files and folders, deleted /storage/.cache/connman and rebooted the tvbox to start fresh. I entered the key again, but it still can not connect. It can not even get an ip! I repeated all that 2 more times and rebooted the router once, but still no luck. I also noticed that instead of the 6+ wifi routers in the area, the connections tab now shows only 3 (or 4 at most) and that the forementioned public network is no longer visible. Any ideas on that?
My plan for the day is to check how crowded the wifi channels are over there and to set a simpler key for the home's wifi, because it now has the default one which is like 15-20 characters long and a pita to enter every time.
p.s. When I say "I" above I do not mean me in particular, but an adult person capable to understand basic navigation inside menus etc and who is quite fluent in English. In that case, that person is her mom.
