    kszaq i have noticed in the latest "SPMC 16.4.2", whilst playing a video i can bring up Codec Info with the contextual/option button. Something usefull.

    The other thing i have noticed which may or may not be important is that whilst playing a video i can no longer hit the back button to go into system info or wherever which i used to do. Since the new SPMC if i hit back button during a video the video stops. I dont know what this means as far as memory or efficiency goes. It does mean a way to stop a video without bringing up OSD.
    Just putting it out there to let you know.


    You can do both of those with keyboard.xml (and script.commands for multiple commands) if you want.

  • 7.0.2.006 build for S905

    Hi all, I have just updated from 005 build running on SD card to 006 build by copying img.gz to update folder and rebooting. This results in box not being able to boot from SD card stuck on original boot screen (not LibreElec boot screen, but the manufacturer teddy bear wlcome screen). If SD card is removed box boots to original Android OS on NAND without an issue. Does this mean that the Device Tree for my box is missiing/incorrect ??

    Beelink MiniMX V1 - 2gb RAM / 16Gb Flash

    I was able to use the update method previously without any issue, i.e: I updated from a previous build to 005 by copying image.gz to the update folder and this worked fine.


    Once you're at that point you still need to:
    - take the sd card out and stick it in your pc
    - add the dtb.img
    - add the aml_autoscript
    - stick it back in the box and boot using the toothpick or recovery method.

    It's all in the first post!

    Edit:
    Just to confirm...
    Beelink minimxiii

    -works fine via sd card
    -works fine with usb stick in both usb ports

    Thanks kszaq.

    i tested it and it works, but i have to do it manually, thats why i would prefer automount
    so all i have to do i type the mount line into the autostart.sh as i would in command line, thats all?

    For me it went like this...

    - Work out command that mounts what I want. In my case:

    Code
    mount /dev/data /media/Beelinkextra/internalemmc


    -Test that via ssh.
    -Make autostart.sh script.
    -Test script via ssh.

    Code
    sh /storage/.config/autostart.sh post


    -Reboot, find it doesn't work reliably, add short sleep to front so I ended up with:

    Bash
    #!/bin/sh
sleep 5;
mount /dev/data /media/Beelinkextra/internalemmc

    hes not finished, the build is ready but updating instructions are different because of device trees. So just wait he will update eveything on the s905 image thread.


    7.002.006 is up now - and assuming the update process is the usual one (img.gz in /storage/.update) it updates on my minimxiii (on sd card) but doesn't boot. It stops at the Beelink boot screen.

    Alternative method:

    Open a windows explorer window and in the address bar type

    \\192.168.x.xx


    Use the box's real IP address, obviously.

    You'll see a list of samba shares, one of which is 'Configfiles'.
    Click on that and it takes you to /storage/.config

    Kodi uses SQLite, if I remember correctly. With SQLite, deleting the corrupted files gets them re-created the next time kodi starts.

    It's me, not you. For some reason (brainfade) I had mysql in mind - probably 'cos it was mentioned a few posts up. Yes, of course you're right - just delete the database.
    If it were me I'd also be deleting textures.db and the thumbnails folder before re-scanning.

    Delete the database files, restart Kodi and delete and re-add the sources.


    You just delete the database files rather than use DROP DATABASE xxx; in mysql?
    Never done it that way, I just presumed it would / could cock something up within mysql.

    There's definitely no need at all to delete sources. When the database is dropped the library's gone - so you just need to set content again and scan.
