Openelec device update failed on startup
- Thread starter Bambam
- Start date
If you go to system and add-ons then updates it should be here as an update. You can try hovering over it and pressing menu then see if you can refresh it. I use it to roll back if I need to, also I use the droidbox cloud to back up my settings too.
I've tried everything I can think of to get this to update but still no joy. Nothing shows up in Available updates but I too am still getting update failed error at start up. Just went into the search option of Addons in Settings and found Script- OpenElec Dev Update Enabled. Clicked on this and then on Launch which brought up a message URL Error. No builds were found for Amlogic.arm. http;//snapshots.openelec.tv Please check the URL. Clicked ok and it brings up another open elec menu with Official Snapshot Builds, Official Releases, Official Archive, DarkAngel2401 Dual Audio Builds.
Not really too sure how or if to proceed from here or if this helps at all?

To be far there hasn't been many updates, I think one, so if it helps try live chat in Monday see if they can help and resolve this issue.
Droidbox might have even stop the update there end. So that why you get the messages saying error. As long as your box is running ok I would wait.
When I go on latter I'll check mine....are you on the normal confluence skin.

Yeh I'm on normal confluence Dave. To be honest I don't use openelec as I've still got this issue with no sound when using the VIP remote. Again I've tried everything but just can't find a solution but thought an update may cure the issue. Not really a problem as it does work on the original remote. I'm not one for constantly updating and as I always say, If it aint broke don't fix it.
Here here, I've got the VIP remote and no problems. Have you tried watching something and then pressing menu so you get the bottom sub menu up. The go to the speaker icon and at the top move it so it's set to full, then go to the bottom and save to defaults.
Yeh I've tried everything. The volume is set to max in that menu. I've also tried the dongle in all the USB sockets to no avail. As soon as I take the dongle out and use the original remote then all is fine. I probably should have returned it but thought it would be fixable at my end rather than going to the trouble of returning it.
I'll try a different remote as you may well be right but it does work fine in Android. I'll let you know if it sorts it out.
I did post this problem a while ago and another member was having the same problem.

Yeh I've tried all three Mark and exactly the same result. The vip works perfectly in android but switch to openelec and it's the sounds of silence. Have even tried different HDMI inputs on my tv and even a different tv with the same result.
I haven't yet run the OTA update and wonder if that may just jolt it into action. Was a little reluctant to run it as I read about a few people having problems after updating.
