Updating M8S PRO+ S905X or not - beginner questions

Help & Support Installation & Booting
23

ok cut the power and started the box again.

kodi started with my old choosen skin AEON NOX and seems to work.

a notification popped up which says COREELEC update available.
how to handle this information?

24

Which version are you on now? 8.95.5 is the newest, maybe you had an old update from previously which you hadn’t installed.

25

its 8.95.4.3 currently

how to get it easy updated?

26

Probably your update notification is for 8.95.5 which is the latest version. I would just reboot again and let it install. Hopefully you won’t get stuck at the addon migration process screen again. Keeping fingers crossed.

27

thanks to you all for your help.

did a reboot and update is done.

thanks so far.
all libs and settings seems also to be installed from the backup which i have stopped with a power cut off as well.

so saturday evening is secured :slight_smile:

I had the same probelm, you need to read the release notes

CoreELEC 8.95.6

CoreELEC 8.95.6 is now available and can be downloaded from our GitHub page here.

Features

Updates

  • enable PVR archive features only on supported channels
  • re-enabled slide animations by default on Estuary theme
  • unified update images *
  • updated default IR keymaps **
  • updated mecool/wetek dvb driver

Additions

  • added option to disable auto bit depth and colourspace switching
  • re-added support for auto bit depth and colourspace switching

Notes

  • We have made significant changes to the CoreELEC buildroot with this release and as such if you are
    using CoreELEC on Odroid C2, LePotato or Khadas VIM1 you should update your installation with the
    S905 tar or if you are using the Khadas VIM2 you should use the S912 tar.

** Following these changes we have had to remove out of the box support for the following IR remotes,
A95X, MeCool, MINIX.

If you are using a device with one of the above IR remotes you can re-enable support by executing
the corresponding command below via SSH and rebooting.

echo "meson-ir * a95x" > /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg
echo "meson-ir * mecool" > /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg
echo "meson-ir * minix_neo" > /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg
31

That means for me, connecting via ssh and use this command:

echo “meson-ir * mecool” > /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg

???

nothing else?

32

Yes, then reboot. it worked for me

33

how to ssh on theb ox.

is it root / coreelec?

34

yes, it is root coreelec

35

ssh 192.168.0.49 -l root

root@192.168.0.49’s password:

Permission denied, please try again.

root@192.168.0.49’s password:

36

I don’t know how you used it.

I open putty, my settings are there, ie ip address ( I can’t remember how)

then connect, a terminal window opens, I log in as root, it then asks for a password.

I would send a screenshot but I don’t know how to

found this here

37

coreelec is not working as pass

38

If you updated to CoreELEC over a LibreELEC install at some point in the past on that device the password might still be “libreeelec” since the update process does not change passwords.

39

have you gone from a libreelec build to coreelec? or a clean install of coreelec

try libreelec

40

WTF

now i cant enter anything when ssh over TERMINAL with my mac:

ssh 192.168.0.49 -l root

root@192.168.0.49: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).

any . idea?

41

Is ssh turned on in the settings?

42

just checked. i cant turn it on, i only can disable ssh pass

anyhow - i had to edit my kown hosts on my macbook.

then it worked with ssh but using libreelec as pass!

after typing via shh:

echo “meson-ir * mecool” > /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg

and reboot - nothing happend. my remote now is not working with any button.
before typing this at least OK was working

43

before auto update i used this file: M8SPro_

hardware is
M8S PRO+ S905X 2GB-RAM & 16GB Flash
Os is on a Samsung 32GB microSD

but when booting without a sd, splash screens shows mecool.

thats why i used the mecool echo cmd.
