openelec

Not in any way an official DroidBOX thread. This is for the tweakers/experimenters. Interesting info from @Bar here regarding a LibreELEC/OpenELEC like OS for some Amlogic powered devices - AlexELEC site is in Russian, use Google Translate/your browser's autotranslate. Downloads linked to...

I have a droidbox t8s - never really had an issues. Have not been able to use OpenElec for about 12 months - when it loads, after about 1min it completely freezes...have been using android version of kodi since which has worked perfect but a little slower than OpenElec. My Kodi is still...

I've had my T8-S for over a year, but just discovered that there is no analogue audio output via the RCA sockets when using Openelec. It works fine in Android and audio via HDMI is good. None of the settings have any effect, so I'm puzzled. Is there any resolution for this, since others seem...

Hi guys, I have a dual bootable T8-S, and have followed this link to reinstall the firmware: https://droidbox.co.uk/how-to/droidbox-t8-firmware-recovery/ But now there is no option to reboot to OpenELEC. So I assume that this was the wrong firmware to use. Can someone please point me in the...

I believe that you are working with a Beta version of Jarvis for the OpenELEC Boot section of T8-S. Do you know when it will be available for the OTA update?

Hi all, I've been messing about with my new T8s for a day or two now and I'm really happy with it. I have it booting to Openelec as I don't really need the Android stuff on yet another device in the house. Quick question. Is the Openelec build a Droidbox specific one? I see that there is a new...

I have emailed you about the recent problem with my box after the OTA update: "Hi, I ran the update and everything looked fine but now I can't get into OpenElec? I clicked the DroidSwitch app and it reboots but then just hangs on the logo. I did a factory reset by going into the recovery by...

Posting this on behalf of Nick, who contacted our support team today. Hi Andrew, I'd noticed that playback of video (m4v) was fine under android, but crashes under openelec after less than 5 mins playback (from HDD or off a USB stick) requiring a power cycle. I haven’t tried other formats. I...

Hello, I did go via support but I'm not really satisfied with the feedback. Basically I'm using a T8-S and I do use solely the OpenElec boot as I'm not really into the android apps. Everything went well for a couple fo months, but then in December I had 2x this issue: on boot, OpenElec freeze...

hi I've been trying out openelec on my T8-S plus but now want to boot back into Android. A video I found for T8-S, it advices to click exit on kodi and you will have an option to reboot to android, this isn't on my system. When I click on exit, it just reboots. How do I boot back into...

new to all this so please excuse my ignorance here; what is the advantage disadvantage of these two ways to access add ons (eg wookie) I can get to add ons via XBMC/kodi or openElec or single add-ons in android? Probably missing the obvious here. I have a T8 S thanks

Hi, I'm just setting up my new box so far I have - Connected Backed up to SD Updated Switched to OpenELEC but the second i switched to it and the box to grant permissions came up and immediately disappeared again and the thing booted into OpenELEC kodi. I'm now concerned that its not going to...

Hi, I've got an IPVanish account and found the VPN setup in the latest update, but there's a helluva lot of required fields there! Obviously not just a "address, userID & pw" setup. Can anyone offer an idiot's guide to this, or do I have to manually transfer config files? Thanks in advance :)

Hello, Just got my t8s today. Turned on, clicked on openelec. The openelec logo popped up then it went to a black screen. Left it a few mins then did a clear cache factory reset reboot. When turning on it still tries to go straight to openelec followed by black screen. Any help would be...
