Nothing to fix because this feature is not supported anyway.

Try with CEC disabled (maybe it interfere somehow).

4114

from whom?
Homatics?
Android?
CE?

4115

We are doing CE. So guess which one.

And you know what? I just checked on my device and is still working for me. So it is something with your setup (TV, amplifier, …).

4116

oh ok (:

i thought that maybe the device is not supporting this feature (:

4117

It only works if you have CE storage on emmc.

4118

What do you mean? Whitch function?

4119

Sleep/resume

4120

Can you explain this to me? Do I understand correctly that you are talking about uploading CE to internal memory? If so, how does it relate to android tv?

So what are these issues with Kodi Omega that mentioned in the announcement? Can somebody please elaborate?

Thank you for your answer.

  1. Should I have CoreElec enabled when executing these commands through putty?
  2. Can I somehow damage the android TV firmware?
  3. The script at the end of the answer can be copied by connecting the CoreELec flash drive to a Windows computer and creating a file with the extension .power?

There is a major issue with how ffmpeg 5/6 were merged in without addressing core changes that should have be made at the same. Notably PVR resume is failing but I am sure there are other issues.

4125
  1. Yes
  2. Possible but not likely.
  3. Just copy/paste while using putty

Hi,
I used the following procedure:
Create a file with the content provided in my last comment and name it NOKIA.
Use Filezilla and copy this file in /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/ on the device.

Create a file named rc_maps.cfg with the following content:
meson-ir * NOKIA

Use Filezilla and copy this file in /storage/.config/ on the device.

Open SSH connexion to the device and:
systemctl stop kodi
systemctl stop eventlircd
ir-keytable -a /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg -s rc0
systemctl start eventlircd
systemctl start kodi

Enjoy, hope this will work for you.

4127

Just copy the file and reboot - no need for all those ssh commands.

Hello,
got my homatics box yesterday and now trying to boot coreelec.

However I am unable to boot coreelec.

USB stick create commands:
dd bs=1M conv=fsync if=./CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.aarch64-20.3-Nexus_nightly_20230729-Generic.img of=/dev/sdb
cp sc2_s905x4_4g_1gbit.dtb …/dtb.img

Pressing reset when plugging in power gets me to boot screen which says.
Fastboot
Press RESET again to enter Recovery mode.

Have tried 2 different USB sticks. ANyone has any idea what can be wrong?
