Try an Ethernet-to-WiFi adapter. I think that's the easiest solution:
Thanks. WiFi is not essential, just a nice to have. Would make it easier to move from one TV to another. I have wired ethernet within a few feet of the two TV's where I might use the box. If I am unsuccessful in getting the remote to work, I'd rather buy an air-mouse / mini-keyboard that comes with a USB RF dongle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FGJ9YFH9
Good to know. We can close this thread.
I had quit using android boxes some years ago when we bought the first Roku TV and family prefers Emby on Roku. Only reason I had toyed with going back to Android box and Kodi is playback speed control. Found this box for $20. Emby / Jellyfin clients on Roku can't provide playback speed acceleration and I didn't want to screencast from laptop (at laptop resolution) or hook up the 12 ft HDMI cable every time I wanted to speed up my watching experience.
I will now go to other forums to see how i could upgrade the bastardized Kodi that came with the T95S1 box.
Hello chewitt.
Thanks for the reply and suggestions. Box will boot to LE12.2.1 with either of the two dtb files you suggested.
First message after GUI shows on screen is about connecting to Display-CEC device and then it tells me TV is connected.
Wired network works, but WiFi does not.
SSH works. SMB works.
There are no pins on the p282 board to connect a serial UART (Boy, does that take me back decades!) and my soldering skills were never great.
USB keyboard and mouse work. Only the power button works on the remote. Remote re-mapping is something I did years ago with an X96 box, so I'm not afraid of that.
Hi, has anyone successfully run LibreElec (any version) on one of these boxes?
I've spent many hours over the last 6 weekends trying to get this working, to no avail.
All boot behaviors are the same whether I use the toothpick method or isue a "reboot update" from a terminal application. I've even let the screen sit for an hour, hoping it was just a slow boot process.
I've tried the current generic Amlogic release LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-12.2.1-box.img.gz. Screen just sits on the T95S1 logo.
I've tried LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-11.0.6-box.img.gz. Screen goes black and just sits there.
I've tried the Legacy LibreELEC-Generic_S905.arm-9.2.8.19.img.gz found in this forum. Screen goes from black to very dark blue and T95S1 logo shows in greenish yellow instead of white.
I extracted and used the dtb from the T95S1_TS1AB_W2_p282_190928.img found at Android TV Box Firmware Upgrade – Turewell. I know this firmware image works because I was able to reflash the box from this with the Amlogic USB burning tool V2.2.4. None of the other dtb's I found either with the LibreElec downloads or elsewhere address a 2Gb p282 board.
