[S905X3] X96Air_P2/P3 4/32GB 1Gbit Lan (How to config)

Thank you very much!! Now its working.

Can you post pictures of your “tuning”?

Does it turn off when you hit power? I used the external USB ports for power and they never shut off

The only thing is it stays on when I hit power on the box. Does anyone know how to kill USB ports when I hit power? For the fan I just cut off an old mouse USB connector and connected it to the fan wires matching red and black.

Bootloader (vendor) issue…
That’s why I’m powering the box via USB cable from TV set - shutdown the TV, it shuts down the power to the box as well. :wink:

Could we all agree to merge topics x96air-s905x3-p3-android-9 and s905x3-x96air-p2-p3-4-32gb-1gbit-lan-how-to-config

or close one of them? I dont think that software-wise P2 / P3 differs anyhow, basically all stuff I read was valid for both. For me they differs more in terms 2/16 or 4/32 etc.

Couldnt we keep just one Air X96 thread, considering for all versions there is ng-kernel?

As owner of multiple X96 4/32 (different board revisions, as I found), its inconvinient watch both thread simultanously :slight_smile:

I noticed that the other topic changed the name to just X96Air P3.
I think it is enough to distinguish the two topics since this is a guide on how to set up and the other for general conversation.
In addition, there are differences in hardware problems between version P2 and P3.
Initially, I created this topic to help configure the P2 version, but later reports began to appear that the configuration also gave in the P3 version despite hardware differences such as the WiFi card, bluetooh, etc.

I, for one, disagree.

I see no need, except to make it convenient for you, to merge them.
The hardware is different - although seems the same for most when buying!

It would be more helpful if you could persuade the manufacturers to name their different hardware products with specific and easily identifiable names.

Can you share the Amazon links?
Thanks

Very recently, ‘someone’ trimmed the title of the other thread, but it has always specified P3 only.

This topic was originally named P2 and you later changed it, to P2/P3 after the P3 topic was created.

I am glad we agree that the topics should not be merged.

I want to assign the + / - vol buttons of my remote to syncronize forward/backward the subtitles
Is that possible?
Thanks

Please read all i wrote…

Thanks to @Rootz for opening this topic, after reading it I have had no doubt in buying X96 Air P2 with 4/64GB to explore the possibilities of Amlogic-ng and Docker services because they are large consumers of space. In short, NGC (Nice, Good and Cheap) and I have no problem with it, except the disappointment of not being able to install CoreELEC on the emmc.

Ceemmc is not supported in this device but it’s possible to use it anyway.

That’s not true.
In my case,
CE is installed on eMMc, and even co-exists with Android.

Ceemmc -x will successfully install to emmc on these boxes.

Unfortunately it is near impossible to ensure you get a P2 and not a P3 when you purchase.
As things progress in development there will be little difference anyway, as both hardware variations will probably be fully supported.

What you want to add?there some limits.
did you install OpenVFD addon?

Thanks, i did not i guess. So i will check if i can find this addon.
I want to see the indicators like WLAN, LAN, etc.

Update: So indeed after installing the addon i had nothing to configure because the indicators appeared immediately.
Also the new nightly build that was installed had a fix for the sound problem (HDMI) and now i can really use the X96 Air TV box with coreelec :slight_smile:
Just the analog audio output is not working yet.

I assume that, if I do it, all my kodi data will be formatted , right?

There’s no data loss.
