MK808B Plus HDMI to DVI issue

Hi all!

I have recently become a proud owner of this pretty trinket and already have a problem. Errr... opportunity of improvement.

In hope that I have posted in the right section and that my questions will not remain unanswered, let me fire away (please bear with me as I will try to tell you everything I did, so that the problem is correctly understood):

I am trying to connect my MK808B Plus to an older LCD Monitor, which unfortunately does not have a HDMI input, only standard VGA and DVI (if it helps, it's a Philips Brilliance 24" 240PW9ES). As you may presume, it does not work. The setup I'm using is: MK808B Plus --> mini HDMI male to HDMI female adapter --> HDMI male to DVI male cable --> LCD Monitor.

Does not seem to be a cable problem:

- other tested setups:

- some tablet with mini HDMI output --> adapter --> cable --> Monitor; it is working

- Asus netbook (EEEPC) --> cable --> monitor; it is working

I have succesfully connected the trinket to a HDMI projector (some BenQ) using the stock HDMI cable, so the device is definitely not faulty. I can confirm it has the stock 109k4 ROM. Unfortunately this projector I have at work, not at home, so it's not really easy to have visual of what's going on with the miniTV.

I have set the device to display 720p [MENTION=3242076]50Hz[/MENTION] (or was that 60?), tried again on my monitor, didn't work. Now I set it to display 480p@60Hz, but I am pretty sure it will not work as well...

So, the biggest questions in the world:

- is it a problem of the device or of the monitor being too old (~5yrs)

- is it a problem of the cabling? (I have noticed on the interwebs there are a lot of people having problems with some cables or/on some monitors/TVs)

- is it a problem of the HDMI setup of the device?

- is it a problem of the ROM of the device? maybe some drivers not being loaded in the stock ROM?

- would the switch to CM12 solve my problem?

In hope of at least some hints as for what is the real problem in my setup, thanks for your patience.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
It's a problem of the amlogic kernel, in the previous build I had applied a patch from them (amlogic) to make it work (but the same patch should be used by Rikomagic in their latest 109k4 rom, in fact it was working on my FullHD DVI pc monitor), the same patch doesn't apply with the newer kernel though, I will give it a look and manually merge it

USB audio problem

I do not have hdmi audio, so was using a USB audio dongle with s/pdif.

With stock firmware this worked for stereo, but not ac3/dts.

(Same dongle works well with Kodi on Pi2 or desktop Linux)

So I just installed 20140417 wetek, but getting no sound at all.

I found the wetek setting for pcm/hdmi/spdif, but that doesn't help.

EDIT: found a different USB-audio dongle, and that one works with this ROM.

But since it is only stereo, I still want to get the original dongle with s/pdif working.

It is C-Media 0d8c:0001

Will try finless .
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] d.orin:
So i guess it should be working on the 109k4 release - any other way to check if this patch was actually included (other than having it work on a DVI monitor)? The device already had the 109k4 release, I didn't put it myself, but a release is a release, shouldn't matter if it was put by the producer or by flashing it afterwards, I guess...

I will also try another HDMI-DVI cable one of these days, see if that works...

"the same patch doesn't apply with the newer kernel though" - that would be the CM12 kernel?

if it's not the monitor's fault (dropped a question by the producer, still waiting for an answer), and it's not the cable, then I guess I'll be waiting for a new CM12 release? :D

Thanks a lot for the help!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] leafnode:
Thought I'd try cm-11 instead, see if the usb-sound works.

Flashing fails with "this package is for device: wetek; this device is wetekgift".

I see the bitly link for the recovery.img is the same for both.

Perhaps reflashing the stock firmware first would help, but there must be an easier way? (Am downloading it now on a very slow boat from China.)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
The digital audio settings are for the SOC audio, not external one that depend entirely on Android. I really doubt that you might find a way to override the default output device since in Android you can't use regular Linux's alsa configs (that's why it works with OE, that is pure Linux).

If I were you I'd try a different cable or look into why you can't hear audio over HDMI as it works like a champ with all stuff I tried, included TrueHD/DTS-MA passthrough.

BTW hd audio can't be PCM decoded (will give you no audio) because S805 doesn't have the license to decode it, so it will work only in HDMI passthrough mode, or if you don't have an AVR by using Kodi / MX Player with the ffmpeg library addon.

The links are not the same, this is the recovery to flash cm11.

[MENTION=6622883]d.orin[/MENTION]

if it doesn't work with 109k4 that includes that patch, then try a different cable or a different monitor ;)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] d.orin:
I've already asked a friend to bring me another HDMI to DVI cable, I'll try that one of these days.

I also have another monitor, but it says DVI-I on it, plus it is at work, so that means I don't have much time to tinker with it, but I'll give it a try...

Getting another monitor... yea, took that into consideration, bit sad to realize I must spend ~200 bucks extra to get to use something worth 5 times less... :D

Plus, I'm really fond of my monitor, one of the few H-IPS 24" that works just fine :D with a great color gamut and native resolution of 1920x1200 :D (although I got my eyes on an interesting BenQ VA panel)

Will keep you posted if I get anywhere with a different cable or the monitor at work...
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
DVI-I means that has both DVI-D (digital) and DVI-A (analog), so it's good to try
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] leafnode:
AArrgh! typed a long reply and the webserver deleted it as "token expired".

Thanks for the reply. I am using hdmi->dvi cable as no hdmi on my tv or amplifier. So until I get new tv or amp, sounds like no surround on android for me. Never mind, I'll use the raspberry pi with Kodi for local media, and keep android for netflix and catchup-TV.

I could have sworn i saw the same bit.ly link for CWM on both threads. sorry.

Flash Player

Has anyone been able to get Adobe Flash video to work on the MK808B Plus? I saw a page a while back that Amlogic devices require a special Flash APK to work properly, but the last version of that was 10.2. When I install Flash 11 videos either play in slow motion or stutters, where as it would play fine on my old MK808.

Hello everyone,

I don't know if this was already addressed, but the GAPPS linked in OP will only run on 5.1.

I had to use another GAPPS, this time for 5.0.X.

I have received my MK808B Plus today and I am still exploring this rom... but so far so good! I still need to try some more things, but FYI my Antutu was a little over 18k.

Also I have removed the original wireless antenna and installed an antenna similar to this one.

I went from 4Mbps to 45Mbps. Maybe the original coaxial cable was damaged due excessive heat while soldering? Will never know. Also the original antenna is like a scotch tape with some very thin layers of metal (the actual antenna), I am sure its a bad performer...

Tomorrow I will continue my tests, and as I said before, I will pay [MENTION=1237780]Christian Troy[/MENTION] a cold beer.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
Gapps in the op work fine. I know because I did the zip and use it in all the lollipop 5.0 roms I've been building
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] llapao:
[MENTION=1237780]Christian Troy[/MENTION] thanks for your feedback, don't get me wrong, the same GAPPS did not work in one of my Samsung devices as well.

(I am very appreciated and I recognize your spent time and knowledge to provide us this great ROM.)

Hi,

Can you add support for devices with Realtek 8723BS ?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
Nope since I don't have it
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] d.orin:
Soo... after prolonged waiting, I got to test the trinket with another HDMI to DVI cable aaand... it's not working... :(

The first tested cable was a Double Link or whatever it is called, this second one is Single Link (there are no pins for the second data channel). Since the monitor's specs say max resolution is 1920x1200, I take it that it only supports Single Link connections, but it doesn't work with any of the two cables.

I also got to test with another monitor, at work, it says DVI-I (supports also analogic transmission), but still no 100% success. If the monitor at home does'nt display anything, this second one flickers displaying something like once per second (approx 1/3 of a second on, 2/3 of a second off), I can get a glimpse of the logo with a pronounced tint of purple.

So I guess I could be waiting for the patch in a new kernel, or start looking for a HDMI monitor...

:( :(

The F1 to F3 keys in my keyboard don't do anything. F4 will shutdown device.

To turn it on after using F4 to shutdown do I have to unplug and plug the power cable or there are other ways?

Also latest YouTube app only goes up to 720p, do we have a workaround to go up to 1080p?

Thanks!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
You have some situation going on there since F4 brings on the power menu and doesn't turn it off immediately. And all the button mapped work for me, maybe you changed something in the hw button management (that will affect the on screen buttons as well)

All apps requiring OMX adaptive bitrate (dash) won't work because amlogic's OMX libs don't support it, that's the case of YouTube.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] llapao:
Understood. Regarding my keyboard, I should'v add that I am using a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard, and once again you may be right, the key mapping {F keys} could be wrong in my options. Nevertheless the keyboard is detected correctly. I will play a bit with the keyboard options, its considered a physical keyboard anyway...

Do you know where I can get the amlogic miracast apk? Or how can I make it work? :)

[EDIT: Got the app from finless rom, and others that I will test later today, will give feedback]

Thanks.

PS - For now I've paid you a beer, will contribute more ASAP: 8E097885HY234251T
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
I don't know if that app will work since it's built using KK's sources and the wifi display code has changed a bit in Lollipop
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] jasiu88:
Do you need source code ?

Drivers extracted from original can help you with this ?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] llapao:
I know according to the netiquette that I shouldn't ask you this, but are you considering in having another release for the mk808b plus? If yes would you consider L 5.1? And would it be possible to include miracast and/or dlna?

Cheers and thanks in advanced!
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
I don't release something I can't test

5.1 is not in my mind yet, I have many things to do WeTek related, this is only a side project. These days I'm very busy but if I remember next week I will try to build the miracast app from the amlogic sdk.

Thanks for the response. I'm actually trying to use USB gamepads. Any advice?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] ellentracymac2:
Sorry for the long delay. I assume you've been able to solve this issue. It was simply a faulty memory card.

:good:
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] llapao:
I an experiencing very slow speeds using USB to Ethernet adapter, less than 1Mb both ways.

One workaround I've read was to use the "original" settings, not the ROM settings.

I've tried 2 different adapters with the same result.

Any tips from you guys?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Lokx:
No I have not, the MK808B-P is still on the counter. I have not use it or try to update the rom since.

I've tried 4 difference 64gb micro sd cards (sony, samsung, sandisk, ?). Is the size too large for the unit to recognize during the flashing mode? Because the unit is able to recognize the external memory when loading the base rom.

For each of these memory card, I am able to see it in the base rom using the file explorer and see the files in the memory card. I can even run the file. BUT when it go into the flash mode, it said something along the line that there's no memory card, I do not see any path to the memory card.

Thanks for the response, did you use a different size? what was the brand?

enable usb audio

what does this switch on and what do i need to implement it.

will it give me the spdif output ( coax or optical):)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
? You mean the one in the developer options? That should disable usb audio routing since when you plug a usb audio device it has higher priority and disables integrated audio.

MK808iv ROM Compatibility

Hi Christian,

Could you please tell me if this ROM works on the newer MK808iv ?

No, different processor/architecture.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] PJVRNZ1:
As I thought thanks

How does the mk808b fair with only 1gig of ram for streaming 1080p ?

---------- Post added at 02:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

What about the MK809V it says it has an AMLOGIC S805 chipset ??

Like this one: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mk80...32234352854.html?spm=2114.32010308.4.2.dvRNWP

Hi Christian,

Will this device work with the above ROM

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mk80...32234352854.html?spm=2114.32010308.4.2.dvRNWP

It says it is an S805 AMlogic Chipset so i would assume (possibly incorrectly) that it will work. :)

Also were is the best place to purchase a WETEK Boc please

Thanks in advance

Paul
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] llapao:
Sorry to be answering instead of waiting to Christian to reply, but MK808B

Plus

, MK809 Plus and MXQ (squared box; beware that there are other manufacturers that also labeled MXQ...) are all made by Beelink. I am sure that the rom needs some tweaking in order to work with the device you mention (or any other rom made for Beelink devices).

Maybe you can search on the freaktab forum if anyone else tried it already?

Regarding your next question, 1Gb is more than enough for H.265 or 1080p. Think how many mobile devices have only 1Gb and are able to play FHD :)

Now, if you really want "support" from the community don't assume that if the device is using an Amlogic device thats enough. The models I mentioned above are the more stable and with more support, made by Beelink.

Spend a little more, buy WETEK or a Beelink. And if you really need a device that its specs proof for the next 2 years or so search for a Beelink MXIII: Wireless AC, 2Gb RAM, Amlogic S812.

^ My 2 cents ;)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Christian Troy:
Exactly by buying a little bit more expensive device, specially regarding WeTek (but consider that the play right now doesn't handle h265 because it's still based on the older MX Amlogic soc), you get warranty and better community support.

BTW imho the best place to buy a WeTek device is on the official site wetek.com as warranty will be fullfilled directly by them

I have been using this device for quite some time and flashed this rom. It was very easy and no problem what so ever. Blue tooth devices are connecting properly. the problem was only wifi and the clock speed, which his device has with any rom. so i decided to mod it up and extended its wifi antenna wire and it is running smooth now. for clock speed i have installed setCPU and this device is working great.

I understand that this is a "gift" but I am not sure why the OP changed the device ID/type to "wetek gift".

I think the OP should change it/spoof a "Nexus 10" device, more Google Play compatibility and access to correct features from many apps. One can change it, I know, but...
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Kegal:
Or maybe you can add support in firmware. Then the firmware will be suitable for another device CX929 and EC-MK808B and MK809V.

But is the wifi the only difference? Aren't we talking about Amlogic S805 processor vs rk3188 processor?

Don't get fooled, this is for MK808B PLUS. Also compatible with MK809 PLUS. Both Amlogic S805 SOC based.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Kegal:
No, all the processors S805 or M805. Firmware are interchangeable. I CX-929. I put the firmware of all devices.

Anyone else have WIFI not working up first flash and reboot? Going to try another flash and hope for the best, but it won't even turn on in the settings panel. Bluetooth turns on just fine, WiFi, nada. Followed OP instructions to the T, aside from flashing the newest Factory update.

Found the problem. Apparently a change was made in the hardware. New units as of may, at least when my date tag shows, and others have confirmed on freaktab forums, feature the AP6212 WiFi chipset. I can only hope someone, maybe Christian Troy or one of the other gurus can make a patch or update this build with support for the new units. Very disappointed right now. This was supposed to be the replacement mini PC for my car PC project. My current mk908 blows, locks up, and is slow, extremely long boot/widget load time. This new unit flies, but with no WiFi, all my streaming services are non existent.

Pretty well aware of this version, as it's "the only firmware that works" on the newer devices such as mine.
