Go to coreelec.org and download the build for generic S905x3. Then you can try the corresponding dtb. If your box really has those features I would start with sm1_s905x3_4g_1gbit.dtb

very impressive ! a real linux mini distro , nice !

on the other hand kodi worries me, it can not read many videos (crash , hang , restart of videos ) , while they are opened by vlc or mpv?

I need help :worried:

I’m using: sm1_s905x3_4g_1gbit.dtb and everything works perfectly but:

I have the same TV box, Tanix TX5 Plus Deluxe Edition, but when I run CoreELEC on the led display (of the TV box) “boot” is always displayed and when I turn off the TV box with the shutdown button on Kodi or with “shutdown -h now” (ssh), CoreELEC turns off the TV but on the led display (of the TV box) it does not turn off but continues to display “boot” – and – if I turn on the TV the TV box starts automatically, showing the boot logo of the box and after the CoreELEC logo.

How can I turn off the TV box completely when I click the shutdown button on Kodi or with ‘shutdown -h now’ (ssh)?

@guigux & @Betatester, do you also have my same problem?

14

See if the guide on configuring the VFD can help.

I’ve never hard of the deluxe version of this box but perhaps you have one with an updated spec of some kind.

15

Unless you configure VFD

Your box will always show boot on the LED screen when powering OFF from CoreELEC.

16

No startup/shutdown problems here with the TaNiX TX5 Deluxe Edition. Works fine with the TaNiX remote. For the display:

Tanix_vfd.conf (1.2 KB)

17

Thanks for your help.

I used this vfd.conf: link_to_vfd.conf

We’re preparing coreElec firmware for TX5 Plus “Deluxe Edition”. Also emuElec.

I’ll share ASAP
