compile is not broken, it is a issue maybe with your toolchain or build machine is missing something or maybe a source mod you added, you can send me a pm if you cant figure it out.

That's great news.

Just one thing, I'm getting very confused with which boxes are which as they seem to be called all sorts of things. So how do the G18REF, MX2REF, JYNXM6 etc relate to M1, M3, & M6.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jackhill:

Power Saving Options Disabled

[MENTION=3484100]croniccorey[/MENTION]

Versions after RC1 seem to have the power saving options removed. Would it be possible to have the choice of 'standby-on-idle' re-enabled ?

All versions up to RC1 have worked brilliantly, including the ability to switch to standby on idle which, as you know, disables the HDMI output and therefore automates the power-saving process of switching off any connected TV that can react to no signal being present. Anyone with kids (and some without) will know that distractions do happen, and sometimes the Box is not turned off manually (presumably the reason the power saving options were added in the first place - LOL)

I understand that, perhaps, there are a few with very old TVs attached that cannot utilise this feature, and in such cases, those users may choose the shutdown-on-idle, if any, over the standby option.

Rather than deny the option to all, would it be possible to allow those that can make use of the power saving functions to do so?

Or is there some technical problem that prevents these functions in the later builds?

It just seems such a pity that, those wanting to utilise the advancements of later versions of XBMC, must forgo the choice of power saving options.

Keep up the excellent work, much appreciated :good:

SSH not working on Gotham

Odd! It didn't work on my mx_linux_g18-mx2_newmtd. Factory reset and flashed three times without results. No SSH access. Router reset and PC reboot didn't help. I couldn't find out the problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
You can send me a PM and I can try to help you out
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrdegriz:
One, possibly silly question. What about a multiboot option for this? Several phone kernals Ive had allowed dual booting. Would it be possible to select either Linux or Android at boot time? I quite like web browsing on the TV :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] awaldram:
Personally I think that's a bit self defeating.

Xbmc on android is coming on in leaps and bounds its only a matter of time till XBMC on Android will match pure Linux builds maybe Gotham maybe +1 but it will.

Given this certainty not sure what anyone would want dual booting for.

If you want a jack of all trades then stick with Android.

If you want a pure media device then you'd use Linux Buildroot.

Why would you want to dual boot this in a production environment.? When they offer the same xbmc experience ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrdegriz:
No sign of 1080 under Android and the wifi is no good. No Web browsing under Linux but does 1080. I did say it was a silly question :cyclops:

One thing I've noticed is that the 1080 is not true 1080p. It appears to be making 1080p videos 720 and then upscaling back to 1080. Is that due to a hardware limitation?

Am trying your Test Build. Looking good so far. Have given it a mem stick called Userdata. Installed everything from Hubwizard and then given it my standard test files.

Evgeniy received it from croniccorey for test purposes, but it has not been posted here. So maybe he hasn't got around to it or maybe he didn't want to post it here. I don't know, but I'm not going to post it. Let's just wait for croniccorey

[MENTION=3484100]croniccorey[/MENTION] my spdif output is 225ms ahead of video. Does this seem familiar to you? Audio output through HDMI is sync.

My setup:

MX-box -hdmi- TV

MX-box -coaxial- receiver

TV -toslink- receiver

My receiver doesn't have HDMI, so I have to use coaxial, main reason to go for G18REF.

Standard I have to delay audio in the receiver for 50ms to get lipsync with the TV. I get no echo when turning on audio on TV and receiver simultaneous. This can be checked very good with the opening scene of Adele - Live at the Royal Albert Hall. This scene has close-up slow piano strikes. You can clearly see when the thumb hits a key and thus you can adjust lipsync this way. If I play this DVD and output AC3 to my TV and then from my TV to the receiver I get perfectly sync audio. Unfortunately my TV can't passthrough DTS thus I have to use coaxial as well.

Now when I use the receiver on coaxial input I have to delay audio to the max amount of 200ms in my receiver and then delay audio in XBMC with another 75ms to get sync. Thus 275ms in total. This is exactly the sum of 50ms and 225ms.

I remember this problem existed before but then it was on HDMI also. Unfortunately I can't find any info on it. Apart from this post: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=181739&page=3 and this old pivos post: http://www.pivosforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3114&start=10
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
Generally I'd assume this is a issue with board files (kernel side)... Try to enable "CONFIG_AM_HDMI_ONLY" (kernel side)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] croniccorey:
Thank you for heads up.. I'll look at it asap
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lexi81:
Allright new information! Allthough this is on Android 1.1.9: But I get the same issues with Linux v1.00 and Android. So I suspect XBMC.

When I configure the audio settings as 'Fixed' with whatever samplerate I get the same sync issue on HDMI. So audio is 225ms ahead of video when using Fixed samplerate. Somehow this has to be related to the spdif issue. When using Best match or Optmized the audio stays sync over HDMI.

The difference is that Fixed resamples the audio to PCM, so using Fixed you can't get 5.1 over spdif.

Could someone confirm audio is out-of-sync when using Fixed. In Mbox settings I selected HDMI passthrough as audio device. I think maybe being able to choose the audio device for passthrough and normal output in Audio settings would help to solve this weird behavior.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] gorilla p:
Awesome. I'm using the MX2 right now and it has been a mixed bag. The device itself has potential, but the firmware sucks and I've already had to return one due to bootloop issue. The firmware is only being installed on one device so there's no reason they don't open their work to the public and let the android community tweak the hell out of it. Things like that help to promote sales as an active development community is something I usually look for. At the moment the only tweaks I really have available are via Pimp my ROM, Android Tweaker and Xposed Framework which have all been lifesavers here.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] freejack2k:
Had a couple of MX boxes in today and cant get them to flash like they normally do?

Basically i normally use the bennibassi matricom firmware then flash the v.03 firmware and then latest firmware.

Tried this on one box and instead of booting straight to flashing on bennibassi image it just goes in to recovery so thought i would flash the MX_LINUX_v1.00-STVMX-conversion.zip firmware. This looked like it was flashing ok and went through the motions but went in to a bootloop and just kept what looked like flashing again and again.

Anyway tried another box and this time flashed the conversion firmware above first, flash went ok, box rebooted and the MX Linux penguin appeared but then the green android figure appreared and it booted to Android. Now i cant get that box to go in to recovery.

Settings of the box before i tried flashing it are Android 4.2.2, Kernel 3.0.50 and build JDQ39.20131122

In hardware info on xbmc is says

Amlogic MESON6

G02 Customer platform

CPU ARMV7 processor revo (v71)

Revision 020

Have managed to manually flash Matricom 1.1.5 firmware, it seems to box will take virtually any Android firmware but when you then flash Linux it goes to the first loading screen and sticks, just wont go any further, have done factory reset on it ect.

Anyone any ideas how i can get these on to Linux?

Thanks

[Miscellaneous Android Development] freejack2k:
On that firmware wont even go in to recovery with no sd card inserted. Reflashed with Matricom firmware and will let me back in to recovery again when i press the pin.

When it wont go in to recovery i get the @9 screen followed by the grey android tv screen then it boots as normal
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jackhill:
I had similar issues and discovered it was the SD card I was using, switching to another brand got me to the recovery console

I have updated to a Gotham created by Biatsch, now I am getting a message that i am not using the latest XBMC. I see that 13.1 is available. The latest version that is official is MX Linux v1.00 Stable and uses 12.4

I absolutely love this box but am looking to find out if Linux/XBMC development is occurring? and when 13.1 will be coming??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gorilla p:
What is the DroidTV firmware that was previously referred to? I haven't heard of it. I've only recently REALLY started getting into this box.

At the moment I have the latest beta 1.1.9 firmware and XBMC Gotham. Running xposed framework as well.

I recently figured out how the repos worked and all the awesome addons. This is like the Internet's last somewhat hidden secret and I love it. Now if the repos would just update for Gotham I'd be happy.

Are there any good alternative Android firmware options for this box that have any real benefits?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] thewelt1:
I quite agree this is a new world of internet usage and its great!!but the repo itself I cant see being updated as whole as it takes alot of FREE time just to update the addons within the repo, but with the amount of programmes, addons etc out there you'll always mostly find what your looking for..?
