  • Remote Issue

    AFAIK - and I might be wrong - the only place you're going to find a remote.conf file on openelec is in the configfiles folder (ie storage/.config/remote.conf).
    If it isn't there I think your best bet might be to search the internet / ask here / look/ask on freaktab. You need the original remote.conf from android, or one that someone has working on openelec / libreelec on the same box.
    Worst case is re-install android to get it from there.
    As I said though, might be wrong - maybe someone can confirm / rubbish that.

    Do you still have openelec installed?

  • LibreELEC build for S905/S905X with Kodi Krypton

    Quote from ddogishere


    You know sometimes it's nice to be nice...


    You don't think making builds for people to use is nice?
    Reading the threads before asking Qs is 'nice' - it shows a bit of respect for the people who are doing the work and putting the time in.
    Edit: while I'm here:
    This build runs really (surprisingly) well on my minimxiii. It didn't like the update from jarvis, but I found the same on other platforms - I ended up starting from scratch with a fresh .kodi folder. Thanks for your work afl1 (and obviously kszaq).
    PVR (dvbviewer) is also working well for me.

  • S912 support, what is needed ?

    Quote from chocho

    This is a little harsh !

    I guess if you put a fair amount of effort into giving advice, keeping hardware threads maintained etc and it's ignored that's the result.
    'Don't buy an S912.'
    'Don't buy an S912.'
    'Don't buy an S912.'
    'Don't buy an S912.'
    'Don't buy an S912.'
    'Don't buy an S912.'
    'Hey guys, I bought an S912, can someone make it work?'

  • Thinking about moving from Kodi/Windows to LibreElec

    I've never exported a library so I'm not sure what prompts you get. It's certainly possible to include watched status in an .nfo file, and I'll be surprised if you're not given the option.
    As a belt and braces you can back up watched status with this addon:
    WatchedList

    Edit: If you want to be 100% safe just keep a copy of your videoxx.db file from kodi windows (the one where xx is the highest number). That has your watched info inside; if everything goes horribly wrong it's possible, if maybe fiddly, to get it back from that.
    If your sources are still in the same places (ie same folder arrangements) you could even use the old library on libreelec - with path substitutions in an advancedsettings.xml file.

  • Thinking about moving from Kodi/Windows to LibreElec

    Have a look in the kodi wiki / forum for 'library export' and the 'export to separate files' method.
    That will export .nfo files and artwork to your media folders.

    Do that in windows, and when you next scan in libreelec (or any kodi) you'll get back exactly what you exported.
    The only niggle with that is you might not want all those extras in your media folders, in which case you'll need to clean them afterwards.
    I use a media manager, which means I have all the info sat next to my files anyway.

  • 7.90.007 Cannot set Source details

    If you have an existing mysql db you don't need to set content on every machine - just on 1 for each source (doesn't even have to be the same machine - once set they're stored in the mysql db). So once your advancedsettings are in place you don't even need to add the sources unless you want file views. It should just work. And if you add an existing source in eg videos using the context menu should show it's already set to movies / tv / whatever.

  • List of S905/S905X Boxes that work with kszaq's build


    I suppose I'm looking at it as if I was a prospective purchaser.
    I want a cheap chinese box to play with. I can pick one at random, see if it works, throw it in the bin, rinse and repeat.
    Or I can read opinions from people who own them, take them all with a pinch of salt, apply a little reasoning - ie a no-name / unbranded box is less likely to have consistent hardware, a post from someone with 2 posts carries less weight than half a dozen posts from various people, a post from 6 months ago is trumped by recent ones, RAM seems to matter, wifi chip is kind of important, S905 vs S905x vs S912, is it worth looking for something that seems (no guarantees) to have a rev c chip...?, does a particular box shut down / start properly with the remoteetc - and increase my chances of buying something that works effectively.
    Personally option 2 sounds better. I pretty much went with option 1 the first time, and was lucky - seems to be a manufacturer that uses consistent hardware, drivers are available, chip okay, right revision, enough RAM, wifi not great but for me that's fine etc. Android? Couldn't care less tbh.
    A wiki page (or at least an effective one) isn't ever going to happen for exactly the reasons you've given.

    But, as above, it's not my site. If giving my experience of my box is frowned upon I'll shrug and move on. Hey-ho.

  • List of S905/S905X Boxes that work with kszaq's build

    Quote from chewitt


    I'd like to stop this thread. If you want a hardware listing it should be in a maintained wiki page not a forum thread that very quickly becomes 20+ pages and hard to follow. I would also ask you to refrain from using the terms "to buy" and "not to buy" as forum rules ask you not to promote commercial products (and we'll extend the same idea to the wiki). I would also prefer if the eventual wiki page had a consistent maintainer who keeps the content up-to-date as LE software and vendor firmware evolves, i.e. not a free for all. Make sense?

    I'm curious as to how you think someone's going to put a useful wiki page together, other than by owning a zillion different boxes or trawling through threads like this. And unclear on how it's 'a bad thing' that one person says box x works well and another that box y has particular problems. At the moment what doesn't work well today might be great next week - there are plenty of people here and on the kodi forums with buyer's regret. Hard-to-follow beats non-existent for me. So no, it doesn't make a huge amount of sense to me (as you did ask). But it's your site.

  • 7.0.2.008 build for S905/S905X

    Quote from kashmoney


    hey kszaq any chance of getting a list of compatible boxes? i dont wanna end up buying a box that wifi or bt doesnt work on.

    i was looking at the mini mxiii but then the new mini mxiii ii came out and has dual band wifi in comparison so i wanted to get that but then i read in one of the threads here that the wifi isnt supported and until amlogic provides the driver files it wont be.

    if its possible to compile a list of working boxes it would be greatly appreciated if the list could be on the first thread


    How's kszaq going to know? And he has better things to do anyway.
    Start a thread, ask people to post working (or non-working) boxes, edit the OP to keep a current list of what's good / bad / has issues.
    That would be a really worthwhile thread for anyone buying.

    Same here. I install to internal.

    Regards.


    If you look in storage/.config is there a remote.conf file?
    If not cut and paste the following with notepad++, save as remote.conf, stick it in storage/.config and reboot...
