Okay. So having spent the whole day trying to fix a minor problem that has turned into a big issue, I am going to do a step by step guide to the issues.
Android: 5.1.1
Step 1
I have done a factory reset using a needle and the side hole on the T8-S Plus box I have. During the reboot process, I received this message ''cannot load volume/misc''. I was able to Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Data Factory Reset and Reboot System. The ''cannot load volume/misc'' message never went away.
Question
Is this an issue or does it not matter?
Step 2
I pick English as my language then my wifi connection. Here I see my BTHub**** twice. Yes it appears twice on the setup. I pick one of them, enter the password and when connected, both BTHub**** are ticked.
Question
Is this an issue or does it not matter?
Step 3
After getting to the DriodBox front page, I go into LibreELEC. Here I start the set up. I choose my wifi BTHub***** and the annoying notice appears at the bottom saying ''network error did not receive a reply'' yet it says that I am connected. I go into LibreELEC - Connections. Next to my hub is says State:ready.
I click on the hub and another box appears with 4 options:
Disconnect, Edit, Delete, Refresh
BTW: My ip address is showing
Questions
What did the ''network error did not receive a reply'' mean?
Is State:ready correct or should it be State:connected?
Step 4
So I decide to install an add-on. Let's say Fusion. I enter it in the File Manager correctly (checked hundred times). Then I go into Install from Zip File, Fusion, lets say exodus repo and boom. The box either freezes or repo doesn't install from the Zip File. Same happens with any other repos. Either the box freezes or no installation.
Question
What is going on? Seriously this has been the case all day.
Step 5
I never use LibreELEC but decided to today due to the other issue I was having with Kodi 17.1. I uninstalled 17.0 and installed 17.1. Everything was going well until I noticed that Live TV had a bit of a bug - it kept stuttering ever so slightly. Not buffering but just missing a beat here and there so the footage was not seamless.
Now I use SM for my sports and 100% worked (16.1) and still does on my laptop (17.1) but on the Android the stuttering is there. I have played around with the acceleration (i always disable it on the SM tools section) but to no avail.
The stuttering has now crept into the tv shows and movies. Maybe I have OCD I don't know but I notice it and it bugs me.
I also have issues with some of the addons not installing. E.g. Noobs and Nerds took hours to install on 17.1 Kodi.
Questions
Is my box broken?
Is there something wrong with 17.1 and the box? I feel the issues have to do with the video side of things.
Step 6
Tried DBMC and bobs your uncle it works. Noobs and Nerds, Fusion that were already entered in the File Manager, installed repo needed from zip file with no issues. Exodus repo installed.
The only issue I have with DBMC is the skins. I cannot change it to Xonfluence which is my go to skin as it will not accept the HellyRepo
Question
What is going on with my box? I have loads of free space on my box so can't be issue of lack of space especially considering I have just reset the box.
If anyone can answer any of the above questions or need more information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Right now I am spent.
