If it is a generic box then it is possible that it is a bit different MTD.. I have not had any other reports of issues with the 1.1.5 MTD and I can't look into it at the moment but I will make sure to look asap..

You could try to bring it back to Matricom 1.1.5 then install Linux witch would make sure MTD is correct.

Hi all, any news when the atv1200 version will be done. The android version has a bug when passing through dd/dts to amp via optical it pauses then restart with funny colors on screen. Only seem to do it then audio is passing through... Strange.

Please, please, please pull out all the stops to get a version for the atv1200 many people will be grateful (especially me.)

Cheers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
I will build it eventually.. the main hold up is I don't have a atv1200 to test and I don't want to release the build until I know it is safe to flash..

does it work with g02ref board??

this device.. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2013...tick-Amlogic-AML8726-MX-1-6GHz/793911512.html ???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vathan:
Thanks!

I have setup the g18ref_mx2ref-05SEP2013-040952-update.zip on my MX², and the only issue I have spotted so far is the need to run 1080p @ 50Hz instead of 60Hz for proper screen fit. At 60Hz, there is a bar down the right side of the screen.

[EDIT] I was able to use the 1080p @ 60Hz with a little screen (video) calibration in XBMC to adjust the size of the overscan.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vathan:
Just use XBMC backup to create a backup [select everything you want to save] and set the path to save it to a SD card/USB/ or somewhere on your network. Reflash the box making sure to wipe all the cache(s) and wipe userdata. Setup XBMC Backup again, reselect all the same options, set the path, and then from the programs menu run the restore & reboot.

Should be fairly painless and quick.

Hopefully that sorts it out.

Sofar there is still the odd freeze in 1080p but the new xbmc does help, also i have the kernel patched upto 3.0.95 now witch will be part of the next release, and the tlbb theme is not going to be add yet but i am looking into it as a future goal :)

new release will be posted sometime this week

enjoy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vathan:
Great news :)

I started a thread for your builds over on the G-Box Forums [Matricom] and there is a nice little following there right now.

Please drop by and check it out, there are a number of items that people have pointed out with the build that you could use as feedback for the next release too. Such as a DVD ISO looks like it is dropping frames, but audio is fine [play fine on a M3 with a Linux build], when using wired Static IP option in the network settings, the DNS defaults to 127.0.0.1 - you can change and save but it errors.

Thanks!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] awaldram:
Thanks for all your great work.

Are you saying 702/1080p HD content now works for UK ts HD content , as no test builds (up-to 5th Sep 2013) would play more than 1 frame before video stalled.?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
still more testing is needed, 1080 still gets the odd freeze but not like before and 720 is working fine so far, FPS is higher aswell, asfor UK stuff i will test it before i release the next build and report it on OP in bugs if there is any issues.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
i will save the link and drop in there every once and awhile, thanks for putting it up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vathan:
Awesome :)

I just saw your post over there, thanks for registering for the site and making a post on the forum thread.

Starting a thread there so more people can be using you build for the MX devices is the least I could do once I tested it out and met with success.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vathan:
Well that makes sense now :) Thanks for chiming in

One issue to report related to the one jmulvaney reported on the Matricom forum thread:

If after make any changes to to any skin option and one tries to change the network from wired to wireless the option will not display.

On a fresh load with no changes, the available wireless networks will popup in a box after selecting to change it, but after one customizes the skin options, it will no longer show up. I don't know if it is related to any one particular change or if just any random change causes the issue.

Originally I had the older version MX-Linux 1.0 from OP on the box, then I updated to the Gotham 13.1 build from [MENTION=1672938]luftie2007[/MENTION] (from Matricom forum), which was forked from your build.

So the MTD shouldn't be an issue...

I'll re-download and re-flash later tonight to see if I can get it to stick.

This is the MTD layout:

I'm stuck on Confluence skin... every other skin gives me the classical "dependencies not met" message.

Also, Aeon Nox doesn't even appear in the skin list, and that's the ONLY one i want to use lol

Any idea what's going on ?

New MTD on CMX TV Box

I want to run your great 1.01 Rom on my CMX TV Box (g18ref). But i am on New MTD ...

Flashing Matricom Rom 1.1.5 is not possible from my recovery. Installation aborted ... :(

How can i solve this problem? Is there a release for New MTD also?

It would be nice, if someone could give me a hint in the right direction.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kozmo2k4:
Well, I was able to flash MXLinux-1.01r2 after I flashed the Box with the Recovery SD Card made by [MENTION=4671084]BenniBenassi[/MENTION] (from this forum http://xdaforums.com/show...7&postcount=12).

After a couple of reboots, it is still holding settings. Keep my fingers crossed.

I did, however, notice that after the 1.1.5+ SD Card flash, the MTD layout changed to this:

And now, after the install of MX-Linux, it is different yet again:

[root@MX ]# cat /proc/mtd

dev: size erasesize name

mtd0: 00800000 00200000 "logo"

mtd1: 00800000 00200000 "aml_logo"

mtd2: 00800000 00200000 "recovery"

mtd3: 00800000 00200000 "boot"

mtd6: 10000000 00200000 "backup"

mtd7: 18d400000 00200000 "userdata"

Is that normal for the MTD to change and loose 1st Partition "bootloader" like that or is it just hidden from the OS (Linux)? This in reference to Old MTD layout.

Whats is the progress with CVBS?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dj sweety:
I was able to flash 1.01r2 on my CMX. However it starts only sometimes with screen artefacts and freezes after max. 3 minutes XBMC ...

Is there a way to set more moderate clock settings for the GPU?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] belliash:
I see that CVBS video output don't work is in "Testing" stage. Can you then share a testing image, [MENTION=3484100]croniccorey[/MENTION] please?

BTW, Android says about my ATV1200 device:

How can I switch to Linux now? Should I use MX_LINUX_v1.00-STVMX-conversion.zip ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NeBouse:
Yes that's what i did with the same hardware as yours (Mygica ATV1200).

Use the conversion.zip first, unzip it and follow the instructions inside.

When your box is up and running (it should take 5 minutes), then use this zip :

MX_LINUX_v1.01-G02REF-update.zip 103.90 MB (STVMX)

And follow instructions on the first post.

The whole process should take less than 10 minutes and you'll have Xbmc Gotham 13.2 running natively on your box.

And it's way much smoother than Xbmc on android ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] belliash:
Im asking about that because it was shipped already with Android 4.2.2 and I couldn't find such MTD layout in previous posts.

I will try this then. Thanks!

And repeating question about CVBS. This is a key feature for me, so would be glad to hear any news / information about it :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NeBouse:
Mine was on 4.2.2 too before i switched to Linux ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] belliash:
Successfully flashed conversion and then upgraded to 1.01! :D

It works pretty well now, but I can't get CVBS (composite) to work.

Also can't find options to set Ethernet connection :(

[MENTION=3484100]croniccorey[/MENTION]: Can you please help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sag:
How did you manage to change the CMX to old MTD? Or did you compile a new MTD version of 1.01r2? I failed to both.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dj sweety:
I do not have the knowledge to compile a new version. I just flashed over the stock android version. It starts successfull but after 1 or 2 minutes it freezes. I was not able to run test, because oft these overclocked GPU settings ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sag:
No chance to work, I'm afraid. Stock android version is new MTD. Croniccorey's 1.01r2 is old MTD.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Thooky:
[MENTION=256473]sag[/MENTION]: use openelec by codesnake its for new MTD.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] NeBouse:
Composite is reported not to work in the first post.

About ethernet connection, it should work automagically, with dhcp.

Mine worked directly after the linux install, without setting anything.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] belliash:
Composite has been reported in 1st post to be in "testing" stage, so i guess there is a fix proposed and some testing build. It might be not fully working and need some tweaking / commands to be executed / hacks, but still someone managed to get it working.

About networking, there is no DHCP server in my network, and I'm not going to install it on any of my computers as this will be treated by switch as a DHCP snooping and pc would get disconnected from network.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] belliash:
Thats all what i know ;)

Anyway, please take a look at 1st post again: "- CVBS video output don't work (Testing)".

So, as i already said, I guess there is some fix proposed, that could be tested...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sag:
Yes, it's what I'm using. It's dj sweety who tries to install Croniccorey's old MTD over new MTD. I'd like to try too, but I get a stamp error when I compile a new MTD version. So, no chance to try.

I got one more question.

Is it possible to use custom remote control with MX Linux?

Actually i use this remote control with RaspberryPi and I have lircd.conf generated. Maybe i can reuse it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] loskarlitos:
The MX linux with XBMC works great as substitute for an DVD with connected external DVD drive. The drive I am using is sometimes a little noisy and I was searching for a way to reduce the speed of the drive.

This can be achieved with eject

eject -x4

or using hdparm

hdparm -E4 /dev/sr0

(This was discussed in XBMC forum http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=53151)

I can not use neither of the two methods in MX Linux.

[root@MX ~]# eject /dev/sr0 -x4
eject: invalid option -- 'x'
BusyBox v1.22.1 (2014-08-24 04:05:29 EDT) multi-call binary.

Usage: eject [-t] [-T] [DEVICE]

Eject DEVICE or default /dev/cdrom

-t	Close tray
-T	Open/close tray (toggle)

[root@MX ~]# hdparm -E4 /dev/sr0
hdparm: invalid option -- 'E'
hdparm: invalid option -- '4'

/dev/sr0:

It seems to me, that the versions of eject and hdpar are somehow limitted compared to the desktop version. What is the version of busybox used in MX Linux ? How can I replace it with a version with more features ?

LiveTV TVheadend hangs at fullscreen when changing channel

My ATV1200 box with STVMX board running without any issues with MX_LINUX_v1.00-STVMX-conversion.zip (Frodo version). After upgrade to Gotham with MX_LINUX_v1.01-G02REF-update.zip.

MX box going to standby or hibernate by itself

I have an issue and hope someone will help me. I installed the latest version on my MX Box , everything working fine but i am having the following issue. The box when connected to my LG TV (non Smart) after a couple of hours (the TV is off) goes to hibernate or standby (do not know for sure), the remote control can not bring it back to life. I can reboot the box with yatse apk using my smart phone or remove power and restart the box.

I turned off screen saver within the XBMC settings and also energy saving from my TV with no lack. I had exactly the same problem with previous version of native linux

Sorry to anyone who feels like I have abandoned the community but I have just slowed down for awhile so I can stabilize my own life...

FYI: I am extremely grateful to all donators and I use all donations to buy hw for development for this project, however I do not get as many donations as you might think and people who do donate get help directly from me if they ask... I can't help everyone I expect community members can help each other in most cases or look over the thread for a answer on there own...
