Hi,

It's been awhile since I released something... maybe I give you some beans this weekend.... Can't be sure yet, will see how it will behave on M3 platform (it's supposed to run on MX)...

!!! For f16ref users only !!!

Hi to all,

I need testers for ATV-108 rev2(f16ref) / ATV-102 for new firmware.

Changelog:
- Wifi driver updated to latest Realtek sources
- added 3G dongle support
- Upgrade app replaced with V.play Upgrade (under development; only Local upgrade works)

For all of you who had wifi issues with f16ref, please report if this firmware solves the issue.

Firmware can be downloaded from here.

Regards

I 've flushed the firmware today. Seems to be working just fine.

• Greek subtitles are fine with no problem for my ATV-108 rev2 (f16ref) after choosing encoding Greek , on subtitles submenu.
• DTS Audio has been fixed. (I was having problem previously*)
• HD playback seems to be OK.

The only thing I 've noticed yet is when you power on , the default action of the infrared remote controls arrow keys , is mouse movemet and you have to press the mouse button every time to disable it.

*previously means the initial firmware that came , that had several issues like audio glich and hushes during DTS playback , no greek subtiltles (everything was chinese ect).

My box is indended to be used Primary with the included infrared RC as a media player.

Keep on the good work! arty:

Thanks

Do you have problem running Play Store App on stane1983's firmware? I have problem running Play Store on his firmware for certain reason.

I have a problem with my tv box. I've connected an wireless mouse, it works fine, but after a few minutes the mouse don't work. I move it to another USB port and then is ok for another few minutes.
On my laptop, the mouse is woking ok.

LE: I have this problem with test firmware, too.

I`ve tested with another wireless mouse and I have the same problem. Any solution?

Not yet. I'm testing new USB drivers, but still not ready for release... It's kernel issue.

Hello,

just for your information:
i have this : Logitech K400, its a wireless keyboard with integrated touchpad and usb-nano-receiver;
It works flawlessly, with all kind of roms i've tried out...
My Box is not original Visson 108 v.1, but a "Bluetimes M1" with c03ref, just other board-design (Hardware-Button in Front, SDcardslot leftside, 3xUSB-Ports rightside, WLan-antenna at rear...)
But all of Stane's roms are working perfectly on it (only had to change the remote.conf with my old original...)
Please support this nice little hardware further with new roms, thanx alot !!

Digital

If you have no output on your tv at all (no picture at all), then you will have to create recovery sdcard. To do that, you will need linux machine.

Here is tutorial:


Do everything it says here except use bootloader file you got with your firmware (your file: u-boot-aml-ucl.bin instead of u-boot-aml.bin)

If you have picture on your tv (scrambled), see my post here:

hi stane, i have a same problem that Laziod, my unit is dead, I tried updating the software, but when i press the reset buttom, both lights are kept fixed,and nothing happens, and the unit have no output in my tv (no picture at all), i tried with the first link but no found, can you help me please

Thank
Carlos

The same problem on the M3 ...

 

[stane1983]

The same problem on the M3 ...

I believe tase reported that for M3 device... Work in progress...

Problem is in old buggy kernel (2.6.34) and Synopsys DWC OTG driver 2.60a which dates back in 2006. I'm porting new version of usb drivers to current kernel.

Hi, does anyone know what's the latest version of XBMC that we could get for our boxes ? I have a version from Pivos forums but it's kind of old...

Thanks.

I hardly wait! When will this happen?

 

[MartinCC]

What is this about ? I don't get it... what's comming ??????

 

[socoolrohan]

Thanks stane for this wonderful firmware, I am really enjoying this now. I just need to confirm a thing, ie does this firmware support ps3 controller (via sixaxis controller app) as it does shows that it is connected (as client 1) but doesn't respond to any button. pressed). So anybody using the same can confirm me that it is only me or anyone else also faced the same.

Any update till now???

 

[Kingbeav]

Can anyone help me I have the Att Motorola Atrix 4g using it ok straight talk service, downloaded the foxfi it connects to my laptop, but says no internet connection. The H+ and bars up top go from blue to grey and won't allow me to surf the web on my laptop. Please help!!!

 

[lvta0909]

Stane;

Your work gets better and better. I'm not too good with android building but am pretty good with linux. Is there some advice you could give on how to add Ralink RT2870sta support or add it in to yours?

I am also interested in this matter...

 

[MartinCC]

Stane, a question.. is it possible to add support for BT microphone ? I'd like to use it with Skype and headphones work but the MIC from my handsfree BT doesn't... is it possible pleasssee ??

Thanks.

Been lurking around here... Got the M6 Amlogic Smart TV box (f16ref). It is performing quite OK with the XBMC builds around, just one MAJOR issue: ethernet connectivity: after bootup it falls back to 10 mbit FDX (LAN cable connection). This is clearly not enough for streaming HD content.

Is this a known issue with the ATV boxes as well? Or do we (because there are already quite a lot of us with the same problem out there) need to get down on our bare knees and hope that stane1983 has a fix?

Keep up the good work! Appreciated!

I require help with my google tv smart box.

this is the 1 i have:

Google Android 4.0 1.0GHz Full 1080P Smart TV Box Media Player WiFi Internet

refee V1.3 (f16ref)


Specifications：

CPU Cortex-A9 1.0GHz
Operating System Android 4.0
RAM DDR III 1.0GB
Nand Flash Memory 4GB
Interfaces Video: HDMI1.3, CVBS,YPbPr port
Audio: A/V port, HDMI Optical port.
Ethernet : RJ45 LAN 10/100M port, Bult-in WIFI N module
Storage: 2 USB-HOST ports, SD/MMC


My problem is the unit does not seem to do a reset when the reset button is pressed and currently the device is not giving me a display so i can perform a reset within the device menu, i am trying to do this via the remote control but do not seem to get the right buttons to set off the device reset.

How would i go about performing a reset using the remote only with no visual display only audio?

Hi Greetings to all masters.

I am a newbie to the android world and after reading lot of articles in this forum, I decided to try out Android Tv box and got one from
aliexpress.com
Google Android 4.0 tv box,HD 1080p,WIFI,Amlogic 8726 M3 Cortex A9 ,1GB/4GB Falsh ,HDMI,Flash 10.3,RJ45
I had also followed this web site(from US )
androidtvbox.us
which also deals with similar product that I have and has more updates to the device and to their users.
The specifications of the device are same as stated by previous
posts on this thread (1158 and 1159 )
Specifications：

CPU Cortex-A9 1.0GHz
Operating Android version: 4.0.4
Kernal: 2.6.34
RAM DDR III 1.0GB
Nand Flash Memory 4GB
Interfaces Video: HDMI1.3, CVBS, YPbPr port
Build: ICB MBX 20120811
Developers model: HWLN-GSZ5-GWOS-C

Playing around , I was able to get stable WiFi connection to the device, web interface was ok, YouTube and other app which came with the factory firmware was not all receptive so I decided to download and with the help of updates, I could mount XBMC, install YouTube app and when I saw update on the interface I tried to down load. The process started and that is where my I assume bricked my device.

I am struck with android mascot on the screen, with blue light on the device. I feel I can revive my device , but don't know how I can .

I tried to talk back to the store(re-seller, I suppose), the rep from that store promised me to send the original firmware but said it will be after their holidays(after oct 7th)

I seek guidance to help to revive this device as I started to like this device during short time that I had.

I really look forward to guidance and big thanks in advance to the forum seniors who have dedicated their valuable inputs.
