chewitt Hi there

Does this version work with S805?

Thanks for continuing to update this box, great job! I've been testing and these are the things I saw:
1) It plays some videos but it freezes every few seconds, I tried to make the cache bigger but it didn't work.
2) Some videos don't play and I've attached a picture of the screen and logs
3) I couldn't find the AC3 and EAC3 passthrough option that was previously in AUDIO. I saw it in the player but it didn't work, I couldn't get 5.1 sound like I had in LE11.

I hope it helps to keep improving. Greetings and thank you very much!

Hi, there

¿Is it possible to convert the TV box into a WiFi receiver for Android Auto? That is, connect the TV box to the car's USB and send the cell phone screen via WiFi? Like moto MA1

Hi ilmich

I changed the SD card as you said and Kodi works smooths. I was able to play a movie from pendrive with 5.1 sound! and YouTube too but 2.0.

But I still can't play through UPNP/DNLA although can browse the directories and Kodi showing a little snapshot of the file.

I attached the logs.

Thanks!

I attach the logs file

Hi ilmich

I have this TV Box with 3229 and 6051, I tried with version 11 and 10 and in both I have the same problem.

When I try to play a video either from my PC (UMS server) or YouTube as an example, there are 2 options: it takes about 5 minutes to start playing (with the wheel turning) or LIBREELEC restarts.

I tried several dtb and I also thought it could be WIFI but the same thing happens through a cable network (disable WIFI option).
The program works agile and fast, but it also becomes slow when having to install some addons, but it installs them.

Can you think a way to help me?

Thanks!

Quote from chewitt

Google provides sources for all the open-source software they use in their Chromecast devices. However, and very intentionally, they provide sources without git history so you cannot easily see what they changed, and they don't provide sources for any of their own-code bits (which remain closed-source). There are also Amlogic kernel sources for older boxes and you can grab the latest AndroidTV or AOSP sources (which are public) so could in-theory create a newer Android release, but mating them into something that boots, runs, and is reliable, will required deep technical skills and several thousand man-hours of effort. Good luck

Thanks for the anwser. 😃

I don't really have any programming knowledge, I was just trying to contribute some ideas to the community. I'm reluctant to throw away an interesting piece of hardware.

chewitt Hi, regarding hardware acceleration, with the original Tv Box´´´´ s Android 4.4.2 it works perfectly with the app Airscreen, it plays perfectly at 1080p x265 from UMS on a PC through WIFI 2.4. Maybe this information helps to find a solution.

Using that program I mentioned, it would be interesting if the Chromecast could be ported to the TV Box. I have the first one from 2013 and it still works perfectly with all the streaming apps. Is it possible to do that?
