My date was changed to 1970. Why?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DancesWithChickens:
1. You plugged your box into a DeLorean's Fluxcapacitor.

2. You booted without an internet connection.

Set time zone/country in settings/appearance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dru79:
I don't know what is DeLorean's Fluxcapacitor.

I have WiFi connection. Maybe dynamic IP is a reason?

Has anyone else run into unicode font problems with the default ember skin? My chinese filenames are not showing up correctly because the default ember skin won't let me select the arial font which supports unicode. Normally that is easy to fix in the font.xml file to add arial.ttf...the problem is that the main ember/kodi partition is mounted read-only and every time i try to remount rw, the system is unable to remount rw because the partition is "write protected." Does anyone know how someone can write or make changes to the main ember partition? I am also unable to install the default confluence skin (it doesn't show up in the main kodi repos).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
Sorry to hear issue, I will add arial.ttf in next update or sooner

Hey Corey&Josh, any chance there will be a v3 beta release for donation users? I'd love to try the v3.10 kernel as I have some stuttering which did not occur on the OpenElec 5 builds. Could you test 2D monoscopic playback on the 3.10 kernel? I experienced green flashing screen when trying to play a 3D SBS X264 MKV in monoscopic 2D mode with the OpenElec 5 builds. I had to restart the movie up to 10 times to get it to run properly in 2D. With Ember it works properly, so I'm curious if it is the kernel or something else.

One other minor thing: Ever since the switch from Frodo to Gotham (Early MxLinux builds) I experience the problem that passthrough audio is not recognised by my tv, while it is actualy able to receive AC3. No build (MxLinux or OpenElec), has ever solved this. I wonder if this IEC958 patch would do me any good on my MX2? It is in Wetek repository, which is also Meson6.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RayWalton:
Any chance of using the arialuni.ttf file instead as that one supports Sandscipt characters too. This is important for folk like me living in Thailand for us guys with Thai wives and families. I use that font file for use with subtitles by placing it in the /rood/.kodi/media folder in it's own sub folder called /Fonts. Of course that TTF file supports all other standard characters too so is a far better universal font than the more basic arial.ttf one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
I will try to add it for you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
3.10 is planed in next release if all goes well with current testing, Also should feature Kodi 15.1..

ETA is TBA, Should be fairly soon.

I am aware of audio patch's and currently testing them.

JynxBox M6 Bricked?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I think my JynxBox might be bricked. I installed Ember 2.0.2 and it went through fine but it's behaving really weird. Every time I boot one of 3 things randomly happens.

1. It boots straight into Kodi 14.2 but no controls work (I tried with the original remote, mouse and keyboard but I can't navigate anywhere).

2. It displays the Ember splash screen but stays there forever.

3. I get a black screen.

I tried reverting back to Android and even to Theatre in a Box, but it never goes into recovery mode. I unplug the device, pop in the SD card, hold down the reset button, plug the device in while holding the reset button for another 10-15 seconds but I get nothing. Still the same random 3 things (it's as if I'm not holding down the reset button). I know the button works because when it does boot into Kodi and the screen dims, pressing the button does wake the screen up.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Chris
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RayWalton:
Thanks a lot croniccorey. That arialuni.ttf font file covers every character type set that I know of too so should be the only one needed for all on a one font fits all basis :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] john3voltas:
Hi Devs.

Any news on the compatibility with Tronsmart Prometheus?

Thanks in advance :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
Unfortunately I'll be unable to use arialuni.ttf because Microsoft owns its licence... If you know of any Unicode fonts that are similar but with open source licence let me know, I will find a open source font for Unicode asap.

How to find and configure OpenVPN

Ember DE 2.0.2 on a MX2:

I have installed OpenVPN from the Services Menu of Ember but don't know where to find the configuration GUI within Kodi. Any pointers to where to find it inside ember/Kodi to launch it / configure it?

many thanks and keep up your fantastic work!

INFO

Hi, I am happy to announce that the EmbERMod skin is now public and can be found here

[MENTION=5755021]RayWalton[/MENTION] i've added GNU Unifont to the latest version of the skin, i hope this will do the trick for anyone who needed unicode support.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lexi81:
Thanks for your reply. Eagerly waiting ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] robikonobi:

EmbER 2.0.2 DE on TLBBv2:

When being completely cut off power for a longer period of time (e.g. over night) and then being plugged in, TLBBv2 will sometimes boot directly to recovery.

It's no big deal since i just choose "reboot", but it's a thing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lamista72:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] stravieso:
Hello,

I have an ATV1200. With EMBER 1.00 and 1.0 it works great, but I can't upgrade to 2.0.2, because it bricks (no green light, no signal on TV, so I have to start it with the short pins method).

Is there a way for not updating automatically? I'm a donner, but I'd like to update manually when the next version (3?) really works on my mediaplayer.

Thanks!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
Send me problem details in a PM and I'll get back to you once were releasing 3.x and we can figure out why you can't update your box.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] robikonobi:
Thanks again for updating the ember skin for unicode. Unfortunately, the new skin is broken and many of the text from the main menu (e.g. tv shows, movie, program, etc) are now missing and not showing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
It's because its built from kodi 15.1 confluence and currently release is 14.2, updates are coming very soon that will support it properly.

Sorry I forgot to add a comment on that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DancesWithChickens:
Can we simply upgrade to Isengard or is it necessary/beneficial to do a factory reset?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DancesWithChickens:
Small bug after EmbER skin update:

pop-ups (e.g. YouTube message) are invisible except the text.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RayWalton:
Yes and the default skin sounds no longer work. Have had to use the awful Bursting Bubbles sounds :( It seems all the pop up menu boxes are transparent too so difficult to read if there is text in the background or the background is very busy.

kodi 15

Hi devs,

Very happy DE EmbER here on an MX2, just a quick question, no real concern.

I keep reading everywhere that MX users on Android cannot run Kodi 15 and above with smooth playback, because of hardware decoding no working properly.

I was just wondering if this was an Android limitation, or if our Linux based ROM would encounter the same problem.

Because I have so many different devices running Kodi in my house (win7, win10, ios, android, linux), all connected to SQL database I have to keep them all on the same version. I am always looking forward to a new version of Kodi, but my MX2 being my main living room HTCP, all other devices have to stay on the MX's version.

Thanks for letting me know!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DancesWithChickens:
I've read through the development log, but couldn't find anything regarding the bug where temporary sources get deleted during a library update.

Is that fixed?

Also - is there an ETA for EmbER 3.0.0?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
No worries, mx2 will receive kernel 3.10.x and Kodi 15.2 very soon. Eta on ember 3.0.0 is end of month, we were hoping team xbmc would have released 15.2 stable by then if not we will use rc for release.

To all our awesome and loyal users please show some love on the cnx forum posted below and thanks for continued support from this great community.

Thanks for your support.

I'm pretty sure some of those comments are being posted by a competitor of ARNU Box (won't bother pointing fingers) with just a goal of smearing the product's name.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
In the coming months we will be adding support for the first S805 devices to public EmbER releases, also we are looking at possibility of the first EmbER RPI builds.

Leave a comment if you believe RPI builds would or wouldn't be a good idea and a reason why.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] RayWalton:
Hmm this makes me feel very uninformed and I shouldn't be after all this time setting up Geniatech boxes, but what is RPI ????
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
RPI = Raspberry Pi, we are looking at expansion to multiple platforms, was just trying to get idea of what people thought.

Sent from my OnePlus 2
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RayWalton:
Thanks. Silly me, yes of course I know of the Raspbery Pi but did not associate it with RPI . Put that down to a senior moment hmm :rolleyes:

BTW Whilst I have got your attention croniccorey is there a known issue wit EmbER V2.0.2 and teh ATV1220T box form Geniatech ?? I tried to update two brand new boxes a week or so back and they both bricked. Normal install over the default Android V4.2 using the normal method I have always used and as per all the read me files too. Been a hell of a job unbricking them and one of them I cannot unbrick and now damaged the chip pins trying to short them too many times, so that one has had to go back to China for repair. I thought the ATV1220T was basically the same G02Ref board as the ATV1200 so never thought there could be any incompatibility issues with it, which it seems there really is. I bricked two ATV1220T boxes as I thought the first bricked box may possibly have been faulty or I was just unlucky, but after brick two boxes I realised there must be some serious issue here.

So for now I have had to go back to MX Linux compiles from Auxbox as cannot afford the considerable time to try to unbrick boxes. Hope EMbER 3.0 will fix these incompatibility and bricking issues.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] batomostar:
I just installed latest version of EmbER on my e-m6 box. Everything seems OK except I can't turn it off. Pressing red button on remote doesn't have effect, and on screen power off button gives me only reboot option. I used to have cmx box with unlocked ARMedia installed on it. As I remember, with donation I've got possibility to unlock up to 5 devices. So if EmbER is succesor of ARMedia is it possible to use this on my new e-m6?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lexi81:
Question about V3. Will it be possible to output multichannel pcm through hdmi? I would like kodi to do the audio decoding. In v2 it only outputs stereo. Or is the mx2 not up to the task?

From MX_Linux to Ember = Black screen

I installed MX_Linux (MX_LINUX-v1.00-RC1-G18REF_MX2REF-update.zip) a year ago on my Matricom MX2 box and gotta say, it was a great improvement over Android. Thanks for that. A month ago the box got stuck on the little penguin logo while booting. So I came here to see if there was a new version to flash the box again.

The good news I found out about Ember, so after reading like 40 pages onf this forum, I finally found the time tonight to flash Ember (EXTRACTME_EmbER-Amlogic-G18REF_MX2REF-convert_v2.0.2.zip) over MX_Linux.

I did everything the readme file said. However, after the 10 seconds of holding the toothpick and the 2 minutes of waiting for it to reboot, nothing, all I get is a black screen. I know the Recovery is sort of working, because the penguin is no longer appearing.

I've tried several times to flash the box, and it's always the same. I even tried using an older version of Ember (EXTRACTME_EmbER-Amlogic-G02REF-convert_v1.0.1.zip).

Does someone has a solution to this?

Apparently it won't work on Verizon's 4gLTE network...too bad. I'd love a oneplus, I'd actually love an Android phone, company gives us iPhones...no choice, sucks...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RayWalton:
Have to totally disagree as personally I have tried both Android and Apple IPhones and the Apple wins hands down for me. I have an iPhone 4S and would dearly love a new iPhone 6 (not the 6+ as too big IMHO) but cannot afford to upgrade. Maybe a second hand 5S after privately selling my 4S may be affordable but would still cost me over £100.

Very great offer though from croniccorey if you are up for having one for these phones.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MrBungle67:
It's all a question of preference I guess...Had a Motorola RazrMaxx which I absolutely loved before switching to an iPhone 5S (both company phones), and still have a rooted Samsung Tab Pro 10.1, with CM12.1 installed. The iPhone is definitely getting the job done as a professional phone, but is simply not fun for someone who likes to dig deeper... The best relevant example to this thread is Kodi. We were able to install the apk directly in Android, and is now available in the Play Store. My wife cannot upgrade her iPad to the latest iOS, because she fears losing jailbreak, which would make her lose Kodi. This is the freedom I love in Android that I can't stand not having in iOS.

Anyways...again, the iPhone is a beautiful piece of hardware with a very functional but also very boring OS, but we all have the freedom to chose what we like best.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RayWalton:
Absolutely I agree, it is very much subjective. Now personally I love the efficient business like OS from Apple it IS also fun too IMHO at least I find IOS 9 is awesome. I love the way it all works with iTunes which is my favourite music app, I also love and have Apple Music which works brilliantly here in Thailand (whereas Spotify does not even work here and is inferior anyway I find), and of course as you agree, I just love the quality of the Apple hardware, second to none IMHO and wish I coudl afford a nice big but overpriced iMac instead of a Windows machine.

Never see ANY point in jail-breaking an iPhone or iPad these days (that is so yesterday) as the apps are so numerous,mostly great, and very cheap too, so truly no point in pirating. I have absolutely everything and more on my fully legal iPhone 4S with IOS 9. As to KODI, well I only personally want that on my MyGica IPTV box to watch movies and TV series, News, concerts and F1 motor racing on my main big TV screen comfortable in my armchair/sofa, I do not even have it installed on my PC as find it naff watching TV in front of my PC thanks.

So using Apple gear with latest IOS is simple and trouble free and never even any virus threats either. That is what I want from my smart phone, simplicity, efficiency and a great smart phone that does literally all I want from it and more. Sure too expensive for new and why I would rather for about the same money have a year or so old second hand iPhone than any new Android. As I said that is my choice and of course subjective.

I noticed today that the check for updates within EmbER it says server is down. Perhaps this week? No one replied to my tweet, so I guess they do not like to give a specific date.

I wish they would do nighty's, could be useful feedback for them. Too much bother I guess.

UPDATE: [MENTION=3484100]croniccorey[/MENTION] - did you receive the sample video file that i sent via pm? I have been having trouble with pm lately so i wasn't sure if you were able to receive it. Let me know and i can send again if necessary.

[MENTION=3484100]croniccorey[/MENTION] - Thank you for offering to look into the problem. I will PM you a link to the video shortly. So I did some further testing and discovered that the audio only goes out of sync under the following conditions:

1) My ATV1200 is set to display 1080p - 60 FPS

2) The Video File is 1080p 30FPS (produced by PowerDirector)

3) The file is at least 400 megabytes....the problem isn't as obvious with shorter video clips. Or at least you need to be able to play it for at least one and a half minute before the sync builds up where it is obvious.

The 30fps video file plays fine if I change the video output to 720p or 1080i. Thanks again for your help.

Now 35 minutes and still no auto reboot just message with animated circles continuing on screen !!! . It has downloaded okay but wont reboot. Now I need to know ASAP whether I just manually reboot the box now, as once before when I did this with a much earlier EmbER OTA update it corrupted the box and had to do a factory reset and restore from a previous Rob Weber add-on backup.

Please can I have some advice what to do as wanted to use my box tonight to watch some TV series and live UK TV. It says Please Be Patient but 35 minutes already ?? How patient must I be ??
