Help. Android dummy

[Karin]

So I bought the ts8 plus cos someone told me you can stream all this stuff for nothing to your TV.
We I've been at it for a couple days and still can't figure it out.
All I want to do is watch some live sport, few films etc.
Buggered if I can figure it out

As a new starter, your best bet is to load the wookie wizard and then either download the wookie lite build (a pre prepared collection of addons) or go into the community builds section and download Sean's build. Sean is a member of this forum. You will get plenty of help here so come back if unclear.

Thanks all. Will have another try

Help please. I've downloaded ares wizard whilst in librelec and can't find my way back to android. The home screen is most confusing and doesn't appear to have an icon to navigate back. There's a jumble of letters on screen which make no sense at all to a numb nuts like me.

go to your home screen in libreelec click on the power icon in bottom left of screen and click on "reboot to android" in the pop up

Seans build is the best one coz he constently fixes any broken addons.
Just download ares wizard

That's my problem there's no icon on home screen to return to android

 

[Nigelar]

On the menu bar, look for an option marked system or settings or suchlike. Find the settings submenu. Now look for a setting menu item called appearance. Select skins and from the selection box choose "confluence".
The kodi exit button with the reboot to android function should now be enabled on the home screen.

ok hold the return key on ya remote
Youl get the teturn to android option

 

[Squiddly]

Not sure which build you have but it might be worth trying another build.
The one you have does look pretty confusing.
I use pulse from the ares wizard but Sean's build is pretty popular on here.
You just need to wipe off the one you have and load a different one.

 

[palpatine]

trust me just hold return to get exit options

 

[Karin]

Thanks all. Tried all your suggestions but none seem to work. Have rebooted now out of frustration.
Now t8 stuck in a loop of trying to start without success. Bugger bugger bugger

 

[dick b]

what did you do to re-boot? try turning off at the mains wait a minute and try again,but you may need a factory re-set

 

[dick b]

just to add if you do a search for "factory reset" and open the Not connecting to wifi or ethernet thread scroll down to how to factory reset android box T8,T8S and click on the you tube arrow for a tutorial.I would only do this as a last result as the box will need setting up again.

Take Nigelar's advice and change to the confluence skin and install wookie lite. If you are still stuck in libreelec then go to program addons, libreelec configuration, and you can revert to android from there. Install 2 wookie builds in android DBMC and Kodi e.g. Retro or Mega Krypton build if Kodi is v17 and you should be OK. It's a bit more confusing at the moment with a 2 versions of kodi available. Make sure you disable any "smart setup" (on BT) or shield on your router. Droidbox will be happy to talk you through things on their website with their chat facility.

Couldn't open the change skins option unfortunately.
