OpenELEC Beta 4.95.2 and more

[MikeDotBe]

@MikeDotBe:
Sorry for interfering, but did you ever try it on another PC or maybe with a virtual machine with a clean OS?

Yes, thats why i asked if it would work better on xp (an os without UAC). I've installed a vmware clean image of xp to try, and same error.
also tryed with another win8 computer @work, same error.
Maybe i'll try with the Win7 laptop of my wife...

Another hint can be this: When MfgTool reports an error stop and close it but leave the board running. Open a new instance of MfgTool and flash again. Maybe the process will succeed.

i think i have already test that, but i'll do it again as it takes seconds to try

MikeDotBe, try this image: OpenELEC-imx6.arm-5.0.0-TBS-Matrix-test1.tar
You can run MfgTool2.exe directly. If this doesn't work.... then I'm really out of ideas.

Thanks, I'll try this new image this evening.

Alleluyaaaaaa

It works like a charm (don't know if that expression is correct in english)...
Great Great Great....
now the matrix tv run kodi

I'll make further tests.

What did you change (i run mfgtools directly as you said).

Would you be able to do the same for gotham 4.97.1 ???

Thanks again ...

Did i say thanks yet?

Thanks

[MikeDotBe]

It works... but...
Can't add any extensions.

When i go to System/param/extension /download extension,

either Openelec mediacenter add ons and kodi add on repository are empty.

I change the way how partition script is transferred. Will use this from now on.

You need to refresh the repository.

No old version anymore. Actually even newer versions will only be prepared from time to time. I though support for other imx6 system will be added to official openelec after 5.0.0 will be released. But even after all this time my PR is still on hold and I gave up as you can see here. If anyone wants it can ask there for more informations.

I'll try to do that.

You mean they will officially support tbs matrix tv box in the future release of oenelec?

But even after all this time my PR is still on hold and I gave up as you can see here. If anyone wants it can ask there for more informations.

what is your "PR".?.?

PR - pull request - to merge source code to repository. And it will not happen. Seems there is no interest to have more imx6 systems supported.

[MikeDotBe]

ah ok ...
as i see, they support cubox, which they seems to have a partnership with...

When money get involved

Anyway THANKS for your job on the matrix.

Edit : You shuld start a thread with openelec 5.0.0

Sadly another 120 Euro for an unsupported media player thrown out of the window! Anyone interested in the box for €80,- (shipping within Germany only)? I will concentrate on my Raspberry Pi2!
Anyway, many thanks to Vpeter for his enthusiasm and patience in answering (stupid) questions!

BTW: TBS support told me that they are working on a Kodi implementation and will publish it in March/April. They didn't mention the year by I thing they meant 2015;-)

I will make new images but not as promptly as official ones are created. It would be much, much easier to build even unofficial image if everything will be already in openelec repository. But as I pointed out there is no interest to do this. Sadly. Start poking there and on a forum to change that

Yes I like that but as long the GPU Vivante GC2000 from Matrix is not 100% supported by OpenELEC we will never get stutter free HD videos.
