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

Help & Support Hardware

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

215

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.

218

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

219

There’s no data loss.

Fantastic! Thank you for your suggestion, I have installed CoreELEC in the internal memory and I have taken the opportunity to remove the terrible android integrated from the factory.

SSH command used: ceemmc -x (option 3) (if you have installation errors then reflash the original android firmware and try this again)

If you are using meson-ir config, install Keymap Editor addon.
Inside the addon Full screen video > playback > subtitle offset and chose the key for subtitle offset +/-
IDK if is possible to do it with amremote config

222

how did you choose what should be booted?

223
  • From CE to Android: the script “Reboot to Android”, mapped to a GUI menu entry
  • From Android to CE: just normal reboot
224

Thanks, thats neat (although I didnt really using Android). I will add this to my Confluence skin. Just in case :slight_smile:

225

Yep, me neither.
But I like to have (some sort of) redundancy. And, just in case, broaden the “portfolio” of services, provided from the box. Android gaming, for example.

226

Can anyone confirm that these boxes power down their USB ports when switched off ?

Shoog

227

Mine does NOT.

228

I have a small usb fan connected and yes it power it down after shutdown, but no immediately It takes about 40 seconds after shutdown.

229

Is WoL still working for you guys? It broke for me a while back but I’m not sure exactly when as I don’t use it much.

230

yep i think you right!
Just test now and my PC dont wake up
Still on 20200206

Today i measured the performance of CE with X96 Air. Does somebody experience the same ?
It takes 12 seconds after power on for the splash screen to appear and 70 seconds before the clock displays and a few more seconds before the skin starts.

Why is the boot process so slow ?

233

This is not normal. Perhaps your heatsink is not firmly attached and the cpu is being heavily throttled.
