I did see that file named MX_LINUX-G02REF-update.zip I was thinking that was for a different type of box and was expecting the filename to have in it "STVMX" Which relates to the geniatech ATV520/ATV1200 ones.

Anyway. I downloaded it and tested it. Failed, it would not even install. I did install into a ATV520e but that is basically essentially a ATV1200. Comes up with install aborted. I tried to put a version on that i knew that worked but this would not go on now. I tried to recover it but this now would not work. I now have a nice brick .:crying: Im glad i bought a few of these a while back for each room.

What is the best version to use at the moment on the ATV520e or ATV1200?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bobones:
Apologies if this is a stupid question with a simple answer, but I am a bit of a newbie with this stuff.

I have been doing my own builds from Corey's repo and was wondering how to make an xbmc setting the default without removing the ability of the user to later change the default.

To clarify what I mean, there is an advancedsettings.xml file in /usr/share/xbmc/system which has some options in it which act as defaults, but because this file is strictly read-only in usr.sqsh, there is no opportunity to change these defaults. In fact, any settings defined here are removed from the GUI altogether.

So, if I want to make remoteaskeyboard=true as default:

<input>

<remoteaskeyboard>true</remoteaskeyboard>

</input>

How can I do it, but still allow the user to later switch it to false?

[MENTION=3484100]croniccorey[/MENTION] did you manage to investigate this issue?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alon24:
1. Has someone been able to create a 13.1 version for ref18 (MX2) device, that ssh works in?

I tried but was not able to.

2. in this build, how do I give the user a way to change the device name meaning,

I see that the device name is MX and it occuppies an address.

In openelec you have their plugin to change the host name, is there such a thing here, so I can have 2 devices (MX2) on the same network ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bobones:
1. I could give it a go as I have compiled several g02ref with no ssh problems. What config do you want me to try (newmtd or old)? Any other options?

2.The NetBIOS address is what you'll be seeing from windows. It is defined in /etc/samba/smb.conf. If you change it you can restart samba with /etc/init.d/S91smb restart

There are other places the hostname is defined, e.g /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname and within xbmc

Wow, this is great, I will try this at home.

This being newmtd, means I will need to switch to 1.1.6 and then do it, but ok, I'm game.

one question, does dts passthough work on your version, I know that it was solved for the ref02 builds someone posted here.

thanks.

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 AM ----------

If you can give oldmtd a go, that would be great.

I am also going to try the openelec (which will require newmtd) but if that fails, I will move back to trusted oldmtd (since dhead always compiles oldmtd, when he has the time, and versions always work gr8).

so oldmtd please,

As I said before, only G18REF and MX2REF is currently supported. I have tested only on MX2.

Untested since I don't have an MX2. Flash at your own risk!

This has minimal advancedsettings predefined so you might want to tweak network caching settings, etc. it should also allow passthrough audio. root password is letmein

Backup your /root/.xbmc folder and anything else you might have tweaked, e.g. /etc/xbmc/remote.conf

Untested since I don't have an MX2. Flash at your own risk!

I use tar to backup to usb, e.g:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] SpadaSpud:
With all the builds around its getting confusing which one is for what device. What ones are for the ATV520e/ATV1200? Is that the G02Ref?

What devices are the G18REF and MX2REF and how do people know which one to go for?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bobones:
G02REF is Geniatech/MyGica/Sumvision ATV1200 etc. G18 is Matricom MX2 I believe. There's nothing changed from the G02Ref builds posted on the xbmc linux forum.

What I would really love is Codesnakes' OpenELEC for G02Ref!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SpadaSpud:
Thanks Bobones. Im guess even though there all have the amlogic 8726 cpu there are other differences that requires the different builds. Would that be correct?

Yeah Codesnakes' OpenELEC for G02Ref would be nice to try.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bobones:
Yeah, same CPU/GPU but different boards.

It's buggy on my MX2.

Won't retain any settings on 1.1.6 after a reboot (re-runs the openelec setup screens again), and hangs at the Openelec splash with 1.1.7/1.1.8. With 1.1.9 the package fails to install at all

Maybe after an update these items will get fixed up, looks promising

Can anyone tell me if this can be used on an Standard Definition TV via the a/v port? I've got an old tv that I'd like to use this on. I used to use Jaybob's gotham release on my HD tv but could not get it to output a 480 signal via the a/v port. The box boots and shows boot images fine, but then switches to another resolution as soon as XBMC loads (I can hear the key clicks so I know XBMC is loaded but not being displayed properly). Does this version work with a/v? Is there some setting that can be changed in a config file that would allow me to force XBMC resolution to 480?

[MENTION=3484100]croniccorey[/MENTION] did you find out something about the audio sync issue when using AC3 or DTS passthrough with spdif? Seems to be a Gotham problem, have this with Android, OpenELEC or your branch.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrBungle67:
This build works good for me so far:

http://matricom.net/forum/index.php?topic=11717.msg20103#msg20103

Only tried DTS through SPDIF on a 720p mkv, was perfect.

I had a few installing it (was straight back in recovery after one successful boot), but after re-installing Matriom's 1.1.5 and then reflashing it, all went well.

This is assuming that you are talking about the MX2...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bruur:
Before I try this on a generic g18ref MX box ... will this work on this box or is this only for the Matricom MX2 box? I'm hopefull because the 1.5 version of the Matricom firmware works on generic boxes.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrBungle67:
I can't answer this, because I only have the MX2 to play with.

But if both Matricom's 1.1.5 and Corey's firmware work, I think it'd be worth a try!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bruur:
Both firmwares work fine on my generic g8ref MX boxes. I was hoping you had a generic box too. I've already managed to brick a box by installing a Gotham Linux ROM on the box which was specifically for the Matricom MX2. But my guess is that this was due to the fact that this was made for a Matricom 1.1.6+ firmware which I believe has a new MTD.

I just feel safer to try a new version from Corey. But it is taking a long time and I need Gotham working on the MX box properly. I managed to get it working under Android, but not all video codecs are working and the video can be choppy. Anyway ... I'll give this firmware a shot and report the results.

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

It works on a generic g18ref MX box too! Hooray!! We have Gotham Linux for MX box!

I tested some local movies. I noticed on fast forwarding a 40GB Blue Ray ISO that the screen shortly flashes purple for a second and then plays normally. It also seems it comes with stripped options for settings. For audio I cannot set 5.1 for instance. And for video I cannot select any codecs. Only Amlogic codec seems to run. Which is OK I guess ...

Anyway .... I'm happy and I will continue testing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wason92:
You can still set these settings using advancedsettings.xml.

Or removing "<hidesettings>...</hidesettings>" from /usr/share/xbmc/system/advancedsettings.xml

Since this is actually /usr.sqsh mounted, I'd advise changing it on a desktop then replacing it on the device, if you are going to alter it.

but the settings can still be altered via /root/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

[Miscellaneous Android Development] lexi81:
Yes I am talking about the MX2. I've got a strange feeling I am the only one. So just to be sure I reflashed the 1.1.5 firmware and played a video (DVD with AC3) in the accompanied Frodo build. Perfect sync audio. Then flashed the build you suggested and played the same video, audio is out-of-sync. Pretty pretty weird, bmc08gt is investigating this. I've also made a topic @ xbmc forum, hopefully Davilla can find something.

(Maybe I should open my box to check if it's truly a g18ref. But I'm running this thing since july2013 with any Matricom or Croniccorey firmware, so if it was g02ref sol as fake g18ref that shouldn't heve woked I guess...)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] lexi81:
Well it is just the same OEM box is any other "brand" resells. So you can run MX Linux on it, or the Matricom Android firmware. XBMC officially supports Amlogic chipsets, so you can just download an official XBMC android build from xbmc.org.

The only concern is that lately these boxes are showing up with a different reference board inside. It should be g18ref, but lately g02ref boards are also being shipped. This means you have to flash a different MX Linux version. Only way to find out is to do some commands via terminal or open the box. You culd ask the seller on Amazon if they are willing to check for you.
