    Which VIP remote to buy

    I have recommended and purchased a imxq pro v2 for a friend and they have asked me to get them a VIP remote for them. On amazon there are two choices VI or V2 are they both ok as they are the same price and I have read there is a problem with wake up button. I have an old VIP remote from a x7...

    Update!

    I understand that if settings have been played with but this was a new box updated before anything was installed. I will wait until an OTA is available for lebreelec because with 16.1 installed on lebreelec I have the best of both worlds.

    Update!

    I have just got a imxpro v2 and it had kodi 16.1 on it but checked for update and did ota. It rebooted fine and updated to kodi 17 but lebreelec still on kodi 16.1. Is there a way to update lebreelec to kodi 17. The box by the way is very good and I am very pleased with it.

    Boot into openelec

    Thanks for that. As I hoped my guests can power on and off in openelec and I can switch back to android as and when I need to for my own use. I take it that when you shut down in openelec and reboot the box it will boot back to openelec quite quickly without having to boot android. Sorry for...

    Boot into openelec

    Yes you did but sounds like the standby button on the remote does the same thing according to gaz so maybe it's the box I need.

    Boot into openelec

    Thanks for all the info guys, seems the consensus is it will do it but you shouldn't . I have to say at the moment I have an old mx running openelec and set up to boot TV guide automatically so all they do is press red button and wait until the guide is on the screen then choose a program. It...

    Boot into openelec

    I have a vip remote from my x7 days but that used to power off but not on you had to press the switch on the box. I do understand about the droit box switch but that seems to defeat the object for my purpose, if they have to boot android and then openelec then they could just boot Kodi from...

    Boot into openelec

    Thank you for your fast reply, I do understand the answer sometimes is more technical and is not easy to break down to layman terms but you did very well. My problem is no matter how much I explain the importance of the shutdown method is people will still press standby on both the TV and the...

    Boot into openelec

    I have been a member of this forum a while but not been active for some time. I had an x7 ultimate but people who rent the studio in Spain and had never used a android box before found it difficult to operate android. I moved to mx open electric which was much easier as you press one button and...

    No hdmi connection on sony tv

    I have a droidbox x7 which I have used for a long time. I recently loaned it to someone and it would not connect thruogh any of his hdmi sockets but works on all other tv,s including his socond tv. The hdmi sockets on the tv work with all other equipment we tried. I think possibly its because...

    missing bottom task bar

    Just a thought and maybe silentlyscreaming can could say if it is not possible, could the display be set too large foforcing the menu bar too low for you to reach and if so reduce the display to a smaller size to compensate.

    missing bottom task bar

    Are you trying to get it back while in Xbmc because the flick from the bottom of the screen only seems to work while on the boot up launcher screen on mine.

    wifi wont turn on

    https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-manually-install-total-installer-for-xbmc-kodi/ You could try TOTAL INSTALLER to add Xbmc addons which may refresh the script problems as it also adds repo links that are required. Not sure but it's worth a try. The above address shows you step by step if you...

    IceFilms

    It may have been a coincidence that it worked but did install Xbmc a couple of times with no luck, even total installer wouldn't work it kept coming up with script errors. To be honest I prefer a less cluttered skin as I only use a few main addons and I am ok at just running fusion for what I...

    No power at all,

    Sounds like a power supply problem. Has anyone you know got an x7 to try their power supply to confirm that is the problem, If so you can get a new power unit from droidbox . ( https://droidbox.co.uk/power-adapter-for-droidbox-imx6-x7-x7-ultimate-m6.html ). Only buy if you know that this is the...

    wifi wont turn on

    You won't be able to reload gotham without internet. You could try going into android settings and try a backup and reset which may reset WiFi but options are limited without an internet connection.

    wifi wont turn on

    Is this the first time you have used the box or has it just stopped working. Is it an x7 and are you in launcher settings or android advanced settings. Will it not switch on or will it just not connect to your network as some routers need a button to be pressed to allow connection. You may need...
