Audio fixed

Codesnake my audio problem is fixed on your new version openelec 4.95/kodi 14 beta 1. There is a new setting in system/audio_output and I set output configuration to fixed. I'm not sure what else this effects but everything so far is working great. CEC working with no problems on Samsung TV. I am waiting for a usb TV stick to arrive so I can try out tvheadend. SDcard is still read only. Thanks.

cmx installation aborted

Hey guys,

I've been buying 30 cmx boxes from geekbuying for a good price and installing openelec and then resell them, they installed and worked like a charm. But on the last 10 boxes I ordered, no matter what i do install starts and verifies installation check and then just says installation aborted, I tried in almost all of them and did nothing.

CMX boxes are the cheapest amlogic mx boxes one can get because their android firmware was buggy and not very much comunity supported.

I didn't mind the android bugginess since I loaded right away openelec and was more than good for me and my customers.

With this installation aborted issue, I asked on many forums what to do and I was told to install matricom 1.1.6 firmware using the toothpich method with the sd in (so nothing to select on recovery screen) it loads instantly into an android installer, i can see the progress and then bang blank screen and the LED remains red.

When I removed the power plug to and replugged it the LED remains red and nothing happens no matter how long i wait.

I don't know if we can call this soft-bricking or whatever bricking type, but I solely want my boxes to load openelec and I'm so confused since I don't know if my method is good or no since i don't want to brick all the other 8 boxes.

I know i already got replied by some of you guys and got pointed to some methods but nothing worked so far and don't want to risk bricking other existing boxes. Thanks for your understanding

Your help guys is more than appreciated
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sag:
Don't flash MX2 (or clones) android firmwares to CMX. Flash only stock CMX firmware. You should be able to flash OpenELEC then.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] momokabbaj:
Thanks buddy.

I just did what you've said and it did exactly the same as matricom 1.1.6.

It finishes the update and then blank screen.

When i pull the plug and reconnect it the red LED remains on and the screen remains black.

Since this M8 comes with an S802 chip that has no HW DTS support, will it still downmix DTS sound to my tv If I connect it streight to the tv without connecting to an amp (DTS capable reciever)????

My question is for OE version of XBMC and for Android version of XBMC for this device.

Can anyone check?

I just ordered a device, and I'd like to know if I need to cancel my buy..

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] codesnake:
It will anyway decode a DTS track in software. Or you can turn on the DTS passthrough, if your TV supports DTS decoding. I have M8 connected to an LG TV with DTS and AC3 passthrough turned on.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rossi2000:
good afternoon all

ive just gotten one of these M8 devices on the premise that it offers tru-hd and dts-hd passthrough.

i think they are lying about this.

the software im using is the android software that came with the box and xbmc pre-installed.

ive been reading around but i cannot find no definitive answers, will this openelec passthrough dts-hd / tru-hd?

tia
[Miscellaneous Android Development] melendyk:
I have not gotten this device to pass-through TrueHD audio streams. I have however gotten it to pass-through DTS-HD MA streams. I use openElec on a PC and run openElec on my m8. HDMI to Yamaha RX-V667 receiver for both. The ONLY audio stream I never gotten to work from the M8 box is TrueHD.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] TylerDurdenK:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] rossi2000:
hi, thanks for your reply.

which build of openelec are you using to passthrough dts-hd? tru-hd is not so much a problem as dts-hd is more common.

i have tried 2 builds of openelec, a gotham build and a new kodi build, both offers options for passing through dts-hd but both fail to actually pass it my amp. the video is really jerky when playing back files with dts-hd.

my m8 is plugged into my yamaha amp aswell, which definatley supports dts-hd as i used to use my ps3 for it.

tia
[Miscellaneous Android Development] melendyk:
OK, so after further review I may have been fooled into thinking it working.

First off, I use the gotham build.

I thought there was a trick to get the dts-hd stream to work.

In Settings (Advance or Expert Level) -> System -> Audio output

I found that under the Enable passthrough section if i did NOT select it DTS-HD capable receiver, The video with the DTS-HD stream would play and if you tried to change the volume from the M8 remote it would say "passthrough" and do nothing.... Great, so I thought.... However, I hit the info button on my reciever which shows onscreen details of stuff... It shows only "DTS" even though it should be a DTS-HD stream. So, I ripped a blu-ray movie myself and only created DTS and DTS-HD streams, plus I have a DTS-HD MA 7.1 Speaker Mapping test file which only contains a DTS-HD audio stream. Running the Mapping test file, revealed that it was really only doing 5.1 and not 7.1. The movie I ripped, I can switch between audio streams and both do work, however my reciever sees both as just DTS. So, it will play Videos and passthrough DTS-HD audio streams, but it does step them down some how...

Strange...

Just to validate, I switched to my HTPC to run similar test. My HTPC is running openElec Gotham 13.2 as well.

With that box, I have all options in the passthrough select selected.

When I play the DTS-HD MA 7.1 speaker mapping, all 7.1 channels are separate and if I hit info on my reciever, it shows DTS-HD MSTR and not just DTS. Same results with the movie I ripped, If during playback I switch between the DTS and DTS-HD tracks, I see the receiver will switch between DTS and DTS-HS MSTR as well...

sigh...

so, to make a long story short, I have not seen it truely pass DTS-HD stream either at this point, however, it will play the DTS-HD stream, but in reality it will just be DTS 5.1 at best....

Bummer...

Root???

Hi, been on XDA for a long time but this is my first shot at a Matricom Gbox MX2 so consider this a NOOB question. Will this rom Root the device? I've been searching for hours for a step by step guide on rooting the device but so for this is the best thread I've come across for a Rom. I'm thinking it won't but then again I've been working on XDA ever since I got my first smartphone, which actually turned out to be a dumbphone, the LG-G2x which was a shame because it had so much potential. So now I have several HTC Sensations, my husbands HTC One m7, my HTC One m8, Samy Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) edition, Samy Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 and they are all rooted, supercid, s-off ect. Sorry didn't mean to go on forever but I just want to let you guys know I'm not a total noob, but I've learned every device is different and so with the Matricom Gboox mx2 I am a total noob. In fact its been sitting in the closet for over a year because when I first plugged it in the loaded crap wasn't very good, but now I've seen what it is really capable of and I'd love to dump DirectTv.

So if this Rom won't root it, can any of you guys point me to a thread on how to root the device and install a custom recovery?

Thanks

Krissy:confused:

This thread is not about Android firmware, but about Linux firmware, so the term Rooting is not applicable to it. I think you'll find the required info about your box here: https://forums.matricom.net/.

Thanks, I was excited after reading your thread, I thought I'd found the answer Oh well thanks for responding. I've been on the Matricom site before just for a quick look see but usually manufacturers don't support rooting their devices, maybe this is different. One more question, what would be different switching the box to Linux then what I've got now, I mean basically Android is compiled in linux isn't it? Maybe not, but I sure thought so. My only purpose, and I don't really how I get there is to be able to cut the chord.
