It will happen eventually. Some people just need to get their hands on a device. We are a growing developer base and I hope we can find a good vendor that can send us some devices. And really we like to work with responsible vendors that take care of the their community long term. LibreComputer and Hardkernel come to my mind for instance. It is also logical that those cheapo boxes will work too probably and we will make a generic S9xx2 device eventually.

But don’t expect that we get one of those early S905x2 boxes because as I heard those have a hardware bug and there is going to be another revision by AMLogic so they are dumping what they got in stock as fast as possible to their “valuable” customers.

I haven’t hit that hardware problem as yet it seems.

Any information on what this is or how it manifests itself?

Thanks.

My TV isn’t turning on/off into CE but into android yes

47

Have you configured it in Settings/System/Input peripherals/CEC?

48

No, but I don’t know how to because before (on my ki pro and kiii pro) it working by default…

49

So you assume that it will work on every SoC/box? I wonder why is then a separate Kodi setting for CEC…

50
