Xiaomi Box S 3rd Gen: Dual-boot CE w/DV FEL + Google TV Budget Player

Sorry I am not a developer I just gather things together. I dont like tv remotes for coreelec.

ā€œKodiā€ via systemctl start/stop?
or
ā€œCoreELECā€ via sleep/wake?

yes kodi if you have CEC disabled or connected to a display that does not support CEC you will see the CoreELEC boot logo.

i did a similar thing for a different reason

monitor’s hdmi connection state and start/stops kodi accordingly so whenever active source changes away from CoreELEC it stops kodi, whenever it switches back it starts kodi

it should work when avr/tv shuts off since that still counts as a disconnect

if you’re curious to expand you just need to read /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/hpd_state
0 disconnected, 1 connected, 2 handshaking

It was the reason I’ve asked you to provide files.

I know you did it but I’m too stupid to make it work without looking into your files..

Had something like that done with pinging TV ip address. Since I’ve changed tv which has wifi always connected I’m not able to use it anymore..

Your solution would be perfect if you could provide how to do it…

The zip file is in the post

sir, Can we install ce NO to emmc of this device?

This does not fully shutdown the Xiaomi but it only draw about 1.8watts anyway. The Vero V works in similar way but via internal USB.

How much would it consume without the ā€œtrickā€?

That would be nice, But I don’t think it be possible to put Google TV back on. Or at worse might brick it. Though performs ok from usb, I would like a low profile usb drive but prices have sky rocketed.

me? i don’t think mine would help if you’re not ready to cross compile it to aarch64 from linux
if i can come up with a reasonable usage i might provide a binary and service definition so it can be installed - still requires installing files and services into coreelec

@Portisch sir, can we install ce no to emmc together with Google TV workable such as Homatics R4K Plus?

Use forum search:

I just need what you got and have a look into it. Services, scripts or binary files. Whatever you have please.

Thank you! :blush:

you’re welcome, do let me know how it works for you
up until now it’s been written and tested targeting my specific setup and use so not a lot of variable factored in

I’ll play with it at the end of the week. Working till Friday and when back home TV is occupied :winking_face_with_tongue:

Not sure if it’ll work with my am6b+ running NG build…

Hi @vpeter can we use this Homatics Box R 4K Plus - #3119 by vpeter for Xiaomi Box 3rd Gen as well? It’s Android TV/Google TV OS 14th.

Try to mount userdata partition. If mount works then can be used.

tried and failed. @vpeter
