Oh I think maybe not. I was following X96X4 in this thread How to configure VFD - #751 by kris007 and it merged into the current thread without me noticing.
Sorry for late reply.
I bought 2 devices at aliexpress.
One was seller “Lucky-House store” the other “3D Printer Creativity Store Store” (yes 2 times “store”)
Both do not offer the devices anymore.
Just wanted to point out the advantages of using the “stock” IR remote. Without any modifications to the remote settings, one of the buttons brings up the “status” window. This shows the temperature of the SoC.
Hmm latest NE nightly seems to have reintroduced the ethernet issue i had before. Every couple of reboots ethernet fails. A reboot to internal emmc’s android is then required to get ethernet up and running again in coreelec. I already moved coreelec to internal though so will be a hassle to restore everything, boot to android, and restore again. Tried deleting connman cache, but didn’t seem to do anything. Ethernet is also getting a 169.x.x.x ip all of a sudden instead of the regular 192.168.2.x. Weird thing is that booting from the old SD card and ethernet works fine. Any clue how I could go about this without having to do the whole dd restore every time the Ethernet adapter dies? Like deleting something in storage to reset ethernet adapter altogether?
EDIT: Never mind, pebcak problem, moving around some furniture slightly dislodged an ethernet plug.
Hello good afternoon.
In August-2022 I bought this Transpeed X4 from Aliexpress ( Transpeed Dispositivo de TV inteligente AV1 X4, decodificador con Android 11, Amlogic S905X4, 4 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB, 128 GB, Wifi Dual, BT4.0, reproductor multimedia 4K, 8K100M|Decodificadores| - AliExpress)
All the time has worked properly, but since two days ago the device does not give the time (HH:MM) in the front panel, and does not switch on when I press the proper button in the remote control (which is paired with a small USB connector that is plugged in the black USB port.
Always the red light is on, and does not dissapear when I try to switch on from the remote control.
I have changed the remote control USB connector to the other USB port (the blue one), but there is the same problem.
I have opened the device, and I have pressed the reset button which is located behind the AV connector (when the power were connected), but the device does not react.
Also I have cleaned the motherboard with alcohol (with the power disconnected) in the two faces of it, but still I get the same problem.
I would be very grateful if you could give me some help about this problem.
Thank you very much.
how is yours cpu load in top on idle in this box? I put NE version and have sometimes strange lag in menu or in remote input and saw that in top cpu load is always high even on idle.
But you will not share the information which process eats cpu?
Today I noticed on one of mine device that shell took 100% cpu usage. If this is same in your case try nightly build tomorrow.
@vpeter its kodi, i check my old box s905x2 and its much better.
Its quite similar on both in % but i wonder why load 5/10/15 its high something about 2-3 on idle. I reinstall on different sd card nothing change. On NG version its much better something 0.5. My old x96 max S905x2 with a lot data, and after upgrade from 19 to 20 have 0.1-0.2.
I dont saw any strange process eating whole cpu in top.
The reason i start checking was i get some remote input and menu lag. Media play fine, lan bt works, no problems. But i feel box is not so fluid as my old box.
