I believe that if you release for m3 / m8 and black MXQ you will see a difference. This are the hottest boxes now. I help lots of people on the many KODI groups I participate in facebook and one of the top questions is what is best box & firmware. The above 3 are the most popular that people have and look for new firmware. I always recommend ember when they ask about mx2 but I see less and less those boxes. A $10 donation for a properly developed firmware like ember on those boxes will be a no-brainer.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RayWalton:
A friend of mine has just brought a brand new Samsung Series 6 curved screen 55" Smart TV and I have to say it is stunningly impressive. So he asked me to update his MyGica ATV1200 Linux Gotham 13.2 box to the latest KODI Helix 14.2 MX Linux version. Which I did for him and restored with ROb Weber's Backup my latest basic set-up of add-ons and configurations. All appeared to be working just fine as expected.

However a weird fault I have never seen before arose when I tested it all out for him. There was no way I could change the resolution from the greyed out 720p option. Tried everything like changing HDMI leads, HDMI ports on the TV, powering all off and back on again with the ATV1200 box powered on last of course. No way could I get his box to change to 1080i or 1080p. There is no way he knows whether he was getting 720 or 1080 with the box in Gotham as he only just got the TV and never checked and 720 looks great anyway. So we tried it on his older (only last year's model) 40" Samsung TV now in the bedroom and the ATV1200 box had no problem as usual being able to change resolution in the System settings. to 720 or 1080. But as soon as we returned the now 1080 set up box to the new Series 6 TV it went back to 720 and was greyed out again ?????????????

Tried his old MyGica A11 single core box now running Linux Hydra 2 Helix 14.0 and that had no problem changing to 1080 resolution though of course as we know those older boxes only support 720 and any 1080 reported is in fact up-scaled 720. But at least we could change the resolution settings ??? Obviously having paid out all this money for his superb new 55" TV, he would rather like it to be able to display true 1080 res from the MyGica ATV1200 box.

Never had this baffling problem before and could find no relevant options in the TV configuration settings, which are currently left set to default. Can anyone please shed any light on this strange problem please ??

Has anyone managed to successfully get FTP access with EmbER 2.0.1?

I tried FileZilla (Win) and ES File Explorer (Android), no dice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RayWalton:
Just out of interest why would anyone want to FTP into their box with EmbER 2.0.1 or any other earlier incarnations of MX Linux XBMC/KODI. I use File Manager to copy any additional needed system files into the box like Sanscript characters capable font TTF files for say Thai subtitles, and new remote.conf files when needed etc. If I really and very rarely have no alternative I can use Putty simply to SSH into the box with the letmein password, and which I have done about 3 times in as many years; last time was over a year ago. Obviously developers would need such access, and yes maybe FTP too, far more so than the 99% of us here who are mainly power users who know the KODI system pretty well and can flash and configure boxes effectively and reliably. FTP ??? I don't think I would ever need such access that I can think of.

I have used these boxes for a few years now and never had the need to use FTP access. I can watch practically everything I want when I want, whether movies, TV series old and new, or music videos and concerts, Live UK TV, international news and even a load of live and replay sports; listen to music; surf Youtube; use airplay from my iPhone which is now brilliant with the new Apple Music service with my box stereo audio connected to my big Hi Fi system; I can play all video and music files I have stored perfectly from USB sticks, external USB hard drives and over my LAN from my big NAS drives if I ever need to say when the internet is down (pretty rare too these days). So what more is there to want with needing FTP or any other comms protocol ?? Just fascinated where the need is.

I love my Linux KODI box which is the best they have ever been right now and EmbER promises a lot more too :)

EmbER users with a TLBBv2 + single-sided, regular remote:

i re-mapped some of the buttons:

"WiFi": opens shutdown menu (alternative to insta-shutdown power button)

"Music": opens "Music"

"Movies": opens Movie titles

"TV shows": opens TV show titles

"Pictures": opens pictures

"FAV": opens favourites

"Settings": opens settings

"Home": opens home window instead of going back one level

Fullscreen video:

"Up/Down": big step forward/back - chapterforward/chapterback if chapters present

"PageUp/PageDown": zoom video in/out

"Menu": Go to DVD video menu

...there are probably a few more which i forgot.

Two custom buttons:

"zero": opens music playlist

"three": queues item

Issues still there:

- "Power" = instant shutdown instead of shutdown menu (button currently unmappable)

- 4 coloured buttons currently unmappable

- "PageUp"/"PageDown" does not move item in playlist

- "WiFi" should go to EmbER settings/network (currently not mappable)

(..at least i cannot solve these)

https://www.zeta-uploader.com/1101202671

- unzip file

- put the unzipped files in

File manager: profile directory -> "keymaps" folder

- reboot

If you already have files in there, back them up (e.g. copy to USB stick)

Can be further edited with Keymap editor program addon.

Hi,

Can you get me a log?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RayWalton:
Okay thanks for the reply my friend and yes I of course realised that you can use FTP do that, but my questions was when would you use it and why, unless you are an active developer and need to move lots of files too and from the KODI box. I have to say I have not had any need after 3 years of flashing and configuring these boxes and even moving Font files in to the box so it supports local Thai sanscript characters. I can use Putty too to ssh into the box but again not being a developer or compiler I rarely if ever need to go to such hassle. But I know I can if ever needed.

So for the odd occasion I would ever need to do that I simply put such files onto an SD card or USB stick and simply and easily use File Manager in KODI to transfer the files to where they have to go in the system, Surely far less hassle unless I was transferring files all the time to and from my box. I have a few SD cards specifically set up for flashing Linux images and configuring the boxes like I have one card one for EmbER and one for MX Linux and one for Revert to Android too. Also I have a set up recovery SD card too I use for unbricking. On the main cards I use for flashing I also put my Fonts folder with Arialuni.ttf and also my remote.conf file suitable for the ATV 1200/1220/520 boxes so they also give me the 3 option menu when I hit the remote power button.

So my question is still valid of course for 90% of us experienced power users and dare I say flashers :eek: So when and why would I ever need to bother with FTP or SSH ?? Just interested in case I am missing something here that would make my tasks with these KODI boxes easier in any way.

for me, there was a long pause before I saw anything on the tv. ensure you leave it alone for awhile. copy all files to the root of a SD card, hold down update button, plug in power. that's it.

I should add on my ATV520 (non E) when I upgraded to 2.0.2 the ember settings wouldn't work (I'd get a script error when trying to run it). my Ethernet connection wasn't working, so I flashed back to 1.0.1 (thankfully easy to do).

so I'm stuck on 1.0.1 for now.

EmbER G18/mx2 ref can't write advancedsettings.xml

HI all

I have installed Ember on my generic MX2 box and all is well. I have flashed this machine many times and finally settled on Linux and was pleased to find EmbER. Anyhow, I am using a shared MYSQL database for my house for the shared watch status and I need to edit my advancedsettings.xml file.

If I plop the advancedsettings.xml file into this location like the documentation the change does not appear to get picked up.

/root/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

I know embER also has a similar file located at

/usr/share/kodi/system/advancedsettings.xml

but this one is unwritable even as root.

Any ideas on what I might be missing? I'm sure it's something silly but I've searched for the past day under the embER thread for advancedsettings.xml with no luck. Sorry if this is a basic question. I've lurked here for years, I just never need to post.

*update*

If I add just this to my /usr/share/kodi/system/advancedsettings.xml file the box refuses to "set content type" for movies or tv and does not scan.

1. I get a message that says "Headphones disconnected"???

2. Playback on my favorite audio apps stops. Google Play music/Umanno.

3. If I receive a call while the jack is connected, then disconnect to answer the call, speaker phone becomes enabled??

The only way to get playback restarted is to kill the apps, start another app that has sound, then restart the apps.

On the surface it seems like an issue with the apps. But it's also effecting the phone?? Anyone else experience this?

[Hardware Hacking General] vita94:
Hi,

I don't know if I'm posting in the right section, but here is the thing. I've got GeeksPhone Keon Developer Preview, It's a Firefox OS phone, but I've flashed an Android version on it. Everything worked great for about 6 months, and then the phone stopped charging, and it was also not detected by PC. When I plug it to a PC the phone does not detect it's plugged in also the PC does not detect the phone. I tried other microUSB cables and it's the same. I also tried flashing the Android again as I thought maybe it's software related but the problem still exists. Hopefully I installed recovery on it. I currently charge the battery externally, everything else works as expected.

Yesterday I decided to mess with the phone, as I don't have the warranty. I opened it up and checked if the phone actually has power when plugged to the charger. I noticed that the battery is powered so It is charging but the Android OS does not detect that, and decreases the battery via software. I think that the D+ or D- pins are broken, and I'm not sure if they are used for the phone to know if it's charging.

Here is the picture of the circuit board and my findings. Camera is not great so the picture is not that great also.

0. Is the microUSB port, and I guess there is a problem with it, maybe D+ or D- pins got broken.

1. Those are D+ and D- resistors they are good I've tested them.

2. Those are battery pins. When I probed them when micro USB is plugged in they have power.

3. It's some kind of a IC for power, I think it's used to switch power to the battery from microUSB.

I don't have that good soldering skills so I couldn't resolder the microUSB port, so I'm asking if someone knows another approach to enable the charging via software, as software does not detect that battery is charging, when actually power from microUSB comes to the battery, and because of that it decreases the battery status on Android.

So I'm thinking if I can execute some command so I can trick the phone to believe it's charging, so the battery will charge and when I plug it out I execute the second command to turn off fake charging?

Thanks in advance!
[Hardware Hacking General] NaturalBornCamper:
Funny that you have this problem, I just fixed mine today that had the same problem. Basically the micro usb port stopped working because the parts soldered on the motherboard were loose after too much wiggling (cheap mtk phone I guess). I tried resoldering but its just too small, I could not event test the connexions with a multimeter. So I went to one of the million of asian cell phone shops in indonesia where I'm actually travelling and paid 5$ for a guy to fix it. They do it all the time and have expert fingers. Not my phone plugs perfectly, try to find one near your place, wherever that is
[Hardware Hacking General] KoeWaffle:
What happens if you put a charge over those connections? It won't accept any? Or does it charge but the software isn't detecting it? Another way of fixing it would be making a separate charger for your battery only, of course that would mean that your phone is useless while charging. I'm pretty sure if you force a charge over it it will absorb it, but I wouldn't exactly know how you could check the battery status so that you don't overcharge it this way.

I was using the previous build , when yesterday I installed swamp atack game , and the I started to get fc's from trebuchet and I couldn't uninstall the game cause package installer fc'ed too.

Two hours ago , I flashed the last build and I got no more fc's.
