openelec update

[peteramone]

Any news on updates. Most builds require 16 to work and this issue is virtually rendering dual boot pointless.

I'm got a T8-S and Openelec runs great and which add-ons do you mean.
As soon as a new version and tested droidbox will make it available.
Dual boot is good as you can set one up for child friendly and the other for a more Adult side.

Quickest way to check (beyond keeping an eye out at https://DroidBOX.co.uk/blog/ for news) would be to look at http://openelec.tv/get-openelec

If the original openELEC developers have not yet released a stable, non-Beta v7 of their operating system, there won't yet be a DroidBOX version. Once they do release a non-beta version, this can be used as a base by our coders.

having a few issues myself with 15.2, many links not working, addons in some repos missing ie mucky ducks repo, i ran wookie in 16.2 on android and no problems, i dont think its the addons but the wookie build but this is only a guess.

If I wish to install a Amlogic beta, how would I go about it? Also, would this void my warranty? Plus, if it knackered the box, would a factory reset sort it?

I think putting any non official firmware on would void the warranty gaz.
There is no guarantee a factory reset would recover the box either - the firmware update may have gone too far. However i think you can create a recovery sd card to try and recover a bricked box if the worst case scenario occurs. There may have been a droidbox blog article on this or see if google turns up something.

Will look into that recovery SD card. Will give it a look this weekend. Cheers Nigelar

If you go to file manager and check mucky ducks ULR. If it's not there add it to this

Change ** to 'tt'
This works in openelec 15.2 all the same add-ons. See if it helps
