  • [8.0.0d s905x MXQ Pro] Random mac address on eth0 on every reboot

    architecture s905x
    device MXQ Pro 4K,
    build LibreELEC (community) - Version: 8.0.0d by kszaq

    I am getting random mac address on my MXQ Pro 4K
    Googled and found UDEV script configuration thread-200-post-3888.html#pid3888

    but it dont work,
    journalctl shows the mac address gets set twice, initially using the value in my udev script, then to random address.
    the 5A:01:1C:31:4D:01 is the mac I set in udev 99 script
    the C6:0B:C6:12:18:16 is the random mac assigned

    I am attaching the logs

    here is short grep for eth0 from journal log

  • how to get to my android files (remote.conf) ?

    I did google for that for couple of hours, tried root-ing device to no avail, Ended up using adb over network

    in settings/about media box click 5-7 on build number till we got message about "developer...", there should be "developer options" extra menu item in settings/, in there we turn on adb/usb debugging

    from my computer
    > adb connect mxq-ip-address
    confirm adb auth popup on android box
    > adb pull /system/etc/remote.conf remote.conf

  • how to get to my android files (remote.conf) ?

    I installed LE 8.0 by kszaq MXQ Pro 4k box, but remote is not working,

    the faq says
    Q: My remote control does not work, what can I do?
    A: Grab remote.conf file from Android firmware (it's available in /system/etc)


    I booted into original firmware, in Apps there is a file browser, I searched everywhere but I found no remote.conf file, I found a "system/" subdir under android tree, but there was no "etc" subdir nor remote.conf.

    Where and how I get remote.conf f?

  • List of supported DVB-T tuners (USB) for amlogic tv boxes

    I would like to assemble DVB-T PVR.

    I am not sure if I got it right as far as available functionality of kodi+pvr backend.
    I would like to be able to playback and record _simultenously_. Is such functionality supported by kodi+pvr backend ? or have I misread the functionality of kodi.

    After searching the net I arrived at libreELEC/kodi project.
    I see it supports amlogic S8* devices. THere is lots of tv boxes with this SOC to buy.
    However I am unable to figure out which DVB-T USB tuner should I get.
    Is there any list of supported DVB-T tuners (or chipsets) that libreELEC supports ?

    any helpful soul please advise me or give me a gentle nudge in the right direction

    cheers
