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

/dev/data?

Need to find other solution as my LG G4 despite quick start and always ready turned off is always ready and always connected to wifi and turning hdmi cec signal as connected :face_with_peeking_eye:

darn, so in your case even though TV is off HDMI still shows connected and this utility doesn’t help
is there anything available to ping the TV and decide if its off?
maybe can expand → if hdmi disconnected → poll TV until ON before processing a Connected event …

(assuming you get at least an initial disconnect when the TV turns off and at least 1 connect when it turns on)

Any idea how it’s made in android ?

Have another box connected and if I switch source this box goes to sleep. It wakes up instantly if I bring it’s source back on.

not a clue unfortunately
if you can find a different trigger for the service to use instead of hot plug detection it could still work for you, becomes a rewrite to watch something else but the core is already written to be a service and control the kodi service

userdata for Android TV OS 14.

data will be not found.

YadaYada told me not possible to use userdata. Like on any other box either.

Menaged to make it work pinging TV ip. The old way I had it working with my older setups. Realised TV is shutting down ip connection after 2 minutes if I turn of Always Ready in G4 settings :wink:

Here is the script I use.

Is there any cleaner way to make it work?

#!/bin/sh
while true; do
    if ping -c 1 192.168.1.19 &>/dev/null ; then
        # Only start Kodi if it isn't already running
        if ! systemctl is-active --quiet kodi; then
            systemctl start kodi
        fi
    else
        # Only stop Kodi if it is currently running
        if systemctl is-active --quiet kodi; then
            systemctl stop kodi
        fi
    fi
    sleep 10
done

looks ok to me
i tried a couple variants using a triple while loop or a state flag to avoid calling systemctl on each successful ping but it’s all the same
triple while
main while true (same)
sub1 while ping sleep 10 → fall through on fail to stop kodi if active
sub2 while ! ping sleep 10 → fall through on success to start kodi if active
loop

Is this the correct file: 5.15_2.6_dovi_patched.ko (460.8 KB)

The other link from:

download it from FEL - Amlogic NO support - #3 by vpeter

is now a dead link. Also how do you “use dovi.ko“ like what additional steps are required other than what is seen in your youtube video?

I am not going to be using android at all so after I buy the device can I just directly proceed with install as per your video without updating andoid?

I am going to install on an old 1 TB USB HDD and rely on CEC from my tv remote and use samba to copy all the videos over to local storage instead of relying on network. My tv is the LG A1 OLED. Will this setup cause any issues?

Finally in general are there any issues or problems with the device you are currently experiencing? Your video is several months old now so it would be nice to know how much things have progressed since then.

Thank you.

EDIT: I forgot to ask is default 1080p UI working now or is it still required to use 4k UI as seen in your youtube video?

Just got a Ugoos UR-02 Remote today, Unlike the UR-01 which works perfectly the UR-02 does not reconnect on reboot and really difficult to finally get it paired. Is this ok on other devices?

I’m getting a box like this soon.
Can someone tell me if I need to do this step now, which is described here, or is the “first restart” menu item of the reboot to coreelec app sufficient?
Thx
