I would say you created file NOKIA.txt and not NOKIA without extension?

I just wanted to say I bought two of the Nokia boxes from Amazon Germany and had them shipped to the UK.
CoreELEC is absolutely fantastic on these boxes, it’s now great to benefit from DV and all the bells and whistles that go along with it.
Thanks for all the efforts that the CE devs have put in over the years.

What is the firmware version that is needed for CoreElec v20.3? My box doesn’t find a new update when booted from NAND but v21 alpha 1 is the only CoreElec version that allows Dolby Vision.
The About menu shows 5.4.180-ab4674 as the kernel version. Dated March 14th, 2023. I have requested a beta version from Homatics but it might take a while to get it.
Why you requested beta? Beta versions can unstable. You can request stable v5310. CE nexus ne will working with that, or newest. 5310 kernel version 5.4.210.
To be exact, I requested the latest version but since there was nothing available to the box, I expected it to be a beta version that several people have mentioned in the Telegram group. But good to know that there should be a stable version as well, just strange that you need to ask for one.
Yes Friend You are right I created it with Notepad ++ .txt file Unix (LF) UTF 8 please help me how can I create that file without the extension. Please help Friend I’m really noob on this things, Linux and stuff and i would like to put my NOKIA 8010 remote to work on CoreELEC because i think its a nice remote well built and CE is awesome.
Thanks Friend
Hi, didn’t the codes shared by Vex here :Homatics Box R 4K Plus - #1077 work for you? I set up everything for IR but I didn’t test it yet. Did you manage to find a way to power on the box after power off? Thanks
Save the file as all types: How can you make All types (*.*) the default, when saving | Notepad++ Community
Standard notepad works the same.
You can also make windows show the extentions and you can then rename and remove it: https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-enable-hidden-file-extensions-in-Windows.html

Normally the ota updates automatically coming. But some reseller dont share that in time.
Thank You My Friend You are the best I thought there was something else to do because it wasn’t working but did as You said and had also to Unpair My Nokia 8010 remote from CoreELEC because it was also starting in Bluetooth mode. As I said I’m a NOOB in this things.
Just another doubt if I want to change two of the colored buttons to the letters “S” and “L” for example do You think it would work.
Thanks a Lot Friend
My AVR (or rather soundbar, Sony HT-A9) passthroughs the HDMI signal to the TV. Normally i would have an overlay on top of the content (press info button on soundbar remote) where I can see info about the audio stream being passed to the box as well as volume control info. This works in normal ATV operation. But on CoreElec the overlay doesn’t appear. I can see still see which audio (mostly TrueHD or DTS-HD) gets output through Kodi of course and if the soundbar puts out sound it obviously works but it would be nice for the soundbar overlay to work. Anyone got any idea why that wouldn’t work? Dolby Vision and HDR work as they should.
This is a limitation of your Soundbar OSD, when using 4k resolution in bypass setup (see Link)
You may change to eARC setup, in this case Info will be shown on front display of sounbar.

Oh, well that certainly explains it. Although I wonder why the soundbar doesn’t fallback to display audio info on the unit like in eARC operation. Unfortunately my TV doesn’t support bitstreaming DTS-HD (or any DTS) over eARC.
Yes, indeed strange that in 4k mode there is no info at all. But this is a question to be asked to Sony.
Unfortunately, I don’t know as I didn’t have time to test IR yet. Using mainly the box via CEC or via bluetooth. I guess it is possible as it’s possible with bluetooth, but maybe others can help further.

Thanks Friend for the help
To fix it, i just need unmute hdmi on box via ssh amixer sset 'Audio hdmi-out mute' off , then audio works again. Maybe there could be option in settings after boot for that @Portisch , @vpeter
//put it in .config/autostart.sh works

I remember a long time ago that setting the GUI to 4k broke the auto refresh rate/resolution change in CoreElec. Is this still an issue in ne 20 or 21?
