Thanks for the reply. I do see those two options:

../

Update from sdcard

Update from udisk

It's when I select any of them that I cannot see the contents of my SD card or USB. I only see ../
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Russell_S:
Yeah, sorry about that. I realised after I'd written it.

To be honest, I don't know what else to suggest.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AuXBoX:
Try changing the extension from .zip to .img
[Miscellaneous Android Development] heham:
Thank you!Now worked ,but maybe it is not 1080p,it seems 1080i.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] polys643:
But there is nothing in the OP and any other installation steps that I found that mentioned renaming the .zip to .img. Is this how it should be?

Edit: I tried this but still can't see anything under my SD card.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
Sdcard should be formatted as Fat/Fat32 or it will not work, file extension is dependent on the recovery, most newer recoverys should read .zip however some will only see .img, op instructions are based upon a g18ref and may not apply to all boxs, another option is to try USB stick..

hope that will help if not you can send me a PM ill try to help you more directly there.

Cheers all, enjoy v1.00
[Miscellaneous Android Development] polys643:
I tried with a different 4GB USB key (yesterday I was trying one that was 32GB and couldn't see any files) and I finally saw the .zip :) However, I'm getting the following error with the v1.00 that I just downloaded (not the RC1)

I have a G18REF box.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
Please try to wipe data/factory reset then install.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] polys643:
I installed RC1 successfully. Right after that I saw your post about doing a factory reset. While still in recovery (I didn't boot into RC1) I did a factory reset and tried v1.00 but still got Installation aborted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
I will have a look at the zips, but they were all flashed before posting so unless there's corruption from upload i'm not to sure why there would be failing.

i'm looking into it and will address issues i find.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] polys643:
Sorry to bother you with another issue. I installed RC1 successfully and then shut down the box and powered it on again and now it's stuck in th XBMC Loading... screen.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
There is a issue with the mtd on your device, you will need to place g18 recovery.img on root of sd with update, boot recovery with sdcard inserted wipe data/factory reset, reboot into recovery again and flash the rom.

if issue is persistent you can send me a PM so we dont take up 20 posts talking about it :)

I'm running the v1.00-RC1 release at the moment and would like to know if there is a way to update to the latest v1.00 without loosing all the settings and libraries etc.

Failing that what would be the best way to backup the settings/libraries so that they can be restored after the update.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maormark:
croniccorey first of all thanks for the hard work you spend on this project.

i wanted to let you know about problem that occurred with the new version v1.00 (MX_LINUX_v1.00-G18REF_MX2REF)

all the addons with the require of "script.module.urlresolver" not working,

even when I installed it manually from here:

http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/frodo/script.module.urlresolver/script.module.urlresolver-2.2.0.zip

with the previous version it worked just to install the script.module.urlresolver. any solution?.

Thanks in advance.

[MENTION=3484100]croniccorey[/MENTION] have you seen the Gotham beta linux build from matricorn? it has a really great configuration tool with it 'amlinux configuration' any chance of this being added to MX Linux?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Russell_S:
Well, rather surprisingly, I installed the v1.00 final release from recovery and when I rebooted all the settings and libraries were still there which I really wasn't expecting.

Everything seems to be working extremely well except for the DVD playback of course which is still jerky.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wason92:
when updating the script should keep user data, it checks for /etc/issue i think and if it's there it wipes user data. but there shouldn't be an issue, id backup with xbmcbackup just incase. remember to go into the settings and select addon data
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:

And if startup with out plug rj45,it can not connect auto,maybe it is not 1080P,some test it seems 1080i,8187 wifi can not connect.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
Rj45 must be hooked up before boot (limitation of NM Add on that will be fixed) 1080p output works fine but GUI will only draw themes max resolution, in the case of confluence it is 720p and 1080 skins I know of are 1080i, this means you are upscaling GUI no matter what when using 1080p..

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dimskom:
Croniccorey, are you working on mx5 support?

Great work man!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Russell_S:
On the latest v1.00 release where do you configure the network and select whether you want wired/wireless and if you want a static IP address or use dhcp.

Previously, in the RC1 release, you could configure all that under 'System --> Settings --> System --> Internet Access' but the network options seem to have dissapeared from there in this release. The 'Network-Manager' addon only seems to allow you to connect to a WiFi network and that's all.

Hi, I would like to add to this build light torrent client - rTorrent. What is the simplest way to do this ? Can someone point me in the right direction ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lexi81:
Is it just me or does the v1.00 still have the old audio aync bug? Seems like audio is behind video. This is when using HDMI pass through. If I switch tot analog over HDMI audio is sync. Using coaxial output passthrough sync is different again, but not as bad as using HDMI. I did a factory reset and clean setup.

Besides that, it is truly a great build. Thanks Corey!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Russell_S:
rTorrent is available in the program addons 'Programs --> Get More --> rTorrent'

I haven't tried it myself so I have no idea if it works ok or not but it is there.

Install program from a Repository

Hi.

Is is possible to install packages from a repository (apt-get "packagename"), or does this distro come without one?

I would love to install the transmission-daemon, and also I would love to install flexget (which needs full python package).

Is these two packages possible to install or maybe sideload into this distro?

or should I pay atention to the TODO line?

What's the recommended advancedsettings.xml for a G18REF for a smooth UI and no issues with video playback?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] freejack2k:
Hi

Got an MX2 box that i have on this firmware and running smoooth
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lexi81:
I haven't made any changes using advancedsettings.xml. It's perfectly smooth as it is.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Russell_S:
Same here. The UI is very smooth as is most video playback. The only playback issue is with DVD files in their original format (*.ifo / *.vob etc) which are stuttery but croniccorey is going to be looking into this.

What I have found is that if you run the DVD files through MakeMKV then they play back perfectly smoothly. What is strange about this is that MakeMKV does not alter the MPEG-2 video content at all, it just removes it from the .vob container and puts it in a .mkv container.

This would indicate to me that the playback issue is not a hardware limitation but a codec one as it manages to decode and play back the MPEG-2 files smoothly when in an mkv file.

External USERDATA not working

Corey,

The RC1 build was able to use a USB thumb drive labelled USERDATA for external workspace.

Has this ability been removed in the MX_LINUX_v1.00-G18REF_MX2REF build?

Doesn't seem to work for me, is there some preparation I need to do to get it to work? or are we stuck at RC1 if we wish to use this feature

Linux Kernel for TV Tuner

Hi,

I wan to use "DViCO FusionHDTV7 USB" with MX_LINUX-v1.00-STVMX linux image. However this linux system only have part of tuner files. For example, I need 'dvb-core.ko', 'au0828.ko', 'au8522.ko', 'xc5000.ko' and some dependant modules like 'snd_*', 'videobuf_*', 'v4l2*'. But this system just have 'au8522.ko' and 'xc5000.ko'. I guess 'snd_*', 'videobuf_*' modules were built-in main kernel. So I still need the 'dvb-core' and 'au0828' for load tuner into system. How can I handle this?

I belive I need to compile kernel with above modules. Where is source code of this kernel (3.0.101+)? And, can you provide the configuration file of your kernel?

Thanks,

woomg.

It doesn't matter if chosen spdif/coax, HDMI or analog. I always get same sound PCM, analog stereo, I gess.

Why can't be changed stereo channel 1/1? Only this option. It's weird.

Maybe problem has to to with the missing XBMC menu option "audio output device"?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lexi81:
Allright, this question might piss you off :) Are you sure the video you use has 5.1 sound :angel:

I still have some problems as well, lipsync is driving me nuts.... HDMI passthrough seems 225ms behind video. Coaxial I can't make sense off...... can't get it in sync with hdmi passthrough.

I want to use both, HDMI to TV and coaxial to non-hdmi receiver.

I've set audio in xbmc 225ms ahead of video so it is in sync on HDMI, but that setting effects coaxial also.

Same case here. HDMI to TV, Coax to non-hdmi receiver. No coax passthrough. I tried quite a lot pictures from 1Channel. DVD quality. AAC. I'm running out of ideas.
