Sorry to bump this old topic but I believe I corrupted my Mini M8S 2's eMMC when I tried to install LibreELEC on it. Box froze during the flash. Can no longer flash ROM's using USB Burning Tool as flashes hang at 7%, the formatting stage.
If I manage to boot LibreELEC from a USB, would it be possible to format the eMMC?
why don't you try it
Hi guy, i have one MECOOL BB2 (not PRO so s912/2gb DDR) that uses LE on SD through update.zip . I have try the standard dtb file for S912 IN THIS POST and precisely THIS DTB FILE but not work. The file on MEGA hosting ON THIS POST is no longer available. I have this device so i need the correct dtb if is possible. Thank you.
I'm not sure how you install Libreelec through a zip file. I use rufus & burn the image to usb, with coreelec there is a folder with device trees in.
I don't know if the latest Libreelec build here [8.2.4.1] LibreELEC Kodi Krypton - S905 & S912 devices also has a folder with device trees.
I can't find the link for the latest, only these nightly builds Index of /
The device trees are now in a folder called device trees, built into the image, choose one of those.
I don't know if the old device tree will work. Note, the remotes now work differently. Infrared Remotes [LibreELEC.wiki]
there is a guide, & some pre built remote config files
Also, you could look at Coreelec
I don't have an "only scan" setting on my tv. I have gone back to the previous version of Libreelec & turned off auto update
Display MoreHi,
I'm having a problem since 8.9.004. And I've also had the same problem with some of millhouses latest builds. This is a new install of 8.9.003-4
When i start a movie, and it doesn't matter if i change resolution to the same as the movie or not, the OSD seems to be left in the corners. If i dont change resolution i can see listed movies in the background in the bottom part of the screen.
The system is a VM hosten by unRAID, KVM. I have tried 2 different GPUs, one old AMD and one newer Nvidia Quadro card. The results are the same. Everything works just fine in 8.9.003 and older version 8 LibreELEC.
Regards
JoWe
I have the same problem, have just tried the latest nightly, & the latest build from Millhouse.
Device, is a Celeron NUC on a Samsung 1080p TV
Before this gets out of hand, lets stop any more comments. Please ( 5schatten)
From downloads – LibreELEC choose the Linux installer, that downloads a bin file, so you can create a Libreelec installer flash drive from Linux.
If you follow what I said, you will be running an image from a flash drive.
There are images for Amlogic & other devices.
I'm curious, why don't you want to run a file? Running the file creates an image, which in turn, writes to another flash drive, the installer flash drive can be wiped & used for somethiing else
To install Libreelec on a pc, you need to go downloads – LibreELEC download the windows installer, Libreelec win 32 installer, run the file, then download the version you want, which in a pc's case would be the Generic version
Using the installer, create the image on a usb stick, this is your installer, you then need to boot this usb stick, it will give you the option of where to install Libreelec, my suggestion, is DO NOT install it to your pc hard drive, install Libreelec to a separate usb, follow on screen instructions, & if all go well, you can set your pc to boot from the new usb, & will then be running Libreelec
It might be easier to plug an external drive into your nuc. So, from the main menu, go to videos, files, add movies, then browse to the external drive..
root, media, that should get you to the usb
so from the above path, go to your Tvh webpage
Configuration,, digital video recorder profiles, recording. on the right you should see recording system path, type in /root/media/(usb perhaps sdb 1? not really sure
Ok, I didn't know about that.
So with Leia, to get the remote working try my suggestion in post 2
You just need to unzip them, & place them
Copy MXQPRO4K to /storage/.config/rc_keymaps
Copy rc_maps.cfg to /storage/.config
then reboot
I don't know the commands to use ssh, with coreftplite, it's drag & drop
Sorry, which image exactly have you installed?
as far as I am aware, there are no Libreelec 9.0 images (Leia) for your device
what chip does it have Rockchip or Amlogic?
Coreelec has Leia for amlogic devices
Librelec does not (I think)
CEC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/consumer_electronics_control
basically, IF your tv has CEC, it means your tv remote might control the device
Libreelec & Coreelec are basically Kodi, built on a Linux operating system, you cannot, install linux on it. I mean, you might be able to install linux,on a separate usb or perhaps dual boot, but you'd need to google for that
Perhaps it's me not understanding correctly.
so you have Libreelec alpha on a usb plugged into the box. It boots up, wifi now works,
you need a network connection to scrape, get movie information.
so, it will play movies on a different usb plugged into the box?
If you have movies either on a usb or on a nas,
On the main menu, Estuary, go down to movies, on the right, add movies, then browse to your movies, select type, ie movies, it will ask you if you want to scan now, say yes, with the network connected, LAN or wifi, it will then get movie information, fanart etc
To get a network connection try a cable temporarily. If you still have android there is no way to access Libreelec on the usb.
I assume you have the correct ip address, login as root password for Libreelec is libreelec & pwd for Coreelec is coreelec.
So, just to be clear you have created a coreelec or libreelec image on a usb? what version?
does it boot up? if it does then use a keyboard to go through the startup page
note, libreelec ssh is not enabled by default
coreelec ssh is enabled on boot
if it doesn't boot try another device tree.
I'm puzzled, you don't need to know linux, to get this working. Or are you running a Linux machine?
I use rufus or etcher or win32 disk imager from windows. to burn the image to a usb
Why do you need to know linux?
Perhaps this isn't the best place to discuss Coreelec, but those images have a folder with several device trees you can try.
As for installing on eMMC, I would wait until you are really sure you do not want to go back to Android
IF, you really want to install to eMMC then unless things have changed, you get the box running via usb or microsd, then ssh in, & run the command installtointernal
Because of some "differences" some developers using Libreelec, decided to develop their own fork of Libreelec & called it Coreelec. There are some differences. But in use I don't think you will notice much different.
The latest Libreelec for this device is Krypton. [8.2.4.1] LibreELEC Kodi Krypton - S905 & S912 devices this uses a different way to get the remote working.
The latest Coreelec is Leia, these are alpha builds, but I find it works pretty well. So, if you can get the Coreelec version booting, then the way I describe to get the remote work is, as I said.
I use Coreftp lite on a windows 10 pc, providing the box boots up, & the network is working you can copy files using that.
Display MoreHi All
I am new here and a noob waht concerns the tv box, I am from holland and name is kees ijpelaar. I am a electronic engineer and active on diyaudio but that is quite different with stuff here afcourse.
I have a cheap MXq 4k pro W905S box did install te libreelec 9.0 etc night build, this was working and have more options as the older ones who did not allow to set 800 x 600 resolution.
I did play movies yesterday without trouble, the original android software did crash avery time after playing 10 minutes, it has no kodi player but something else,
Mean problem is the remote control do not work, even for the 9.0 version it did not, now I did read I need to copy or extract the original dtb.img file from the original box? or do I need to find out what remote control file I need? i have seen 281 on the box but did use the 212 version of dtb, img.
And I want to setup the box so the libre is on the eMMC. I have 1g and 8 g memory, better was 2 g or even better 3.
Maybe these boxes are nice for mining bitcoins, using little energy.
thanks.
kees
I think you already posted this in the Coreelec forum. I thought I had pointed out a link with the information
From LibreELEC 9.0.x Remote files - Remote Controllers - CoreELEC Forums there are some files for your device.
You just need to unzip them, & place them in
Copy MXQPRO4K to /storage/.config/rc_keymaps
Copy rc_maps.cfg to /storage/.config
then reboot
