During booting, between the initial Droidbox splash screen and the LibreElec screen, I see a image of the Linux's directory listing flashing by. This is a small irritant...

After updating the new firmware 8.2.0 over the old firmware, If I don't do the Wipe Data/Factory Reset, will the old skin settings and the library database remain intact and work or I have to...

    Rebooting and Black Screen while watching The King of Queens

    I was having similar random reboots on DBMC since I bought the V1 box. After switching over to LibreELEC 8.0.1 with Kodi 17.1, it is a pleasure to use and watch on the V1 box. If you use the V1 box exclusively for Kodi and does not need the android OS, I suggest you to switch-over to LibreELEC...

    Trouble Getting Started

    I have a T8-S V1 box and I had similar problems. I had two externals and was having problems connecting them to DBMC/Kodi. Most of the times when rebooted to Android, the two externals were mapping wrongly and I could not access the library. Later on after an update of LibreElec 8.0.1 with Kodi...

    Android or LibreElec? And why?

    My main purpose of using the Droidbox is to connect to external HDDs with media for playing. I hardly use it for streaming purpose. Initially the Android platform was not stable with frequent reboots. The two external HDDs on android were also not mapping to fixed drives on DBMC and Kodi. So...

    KODI 17.4 Install

    Oh Nigelar, you beat me to this answer... In Android, Kodi is a separate application which can be installed and uninstalled any number of times like any other application. But LibreELEC is is a tiny Linux OS built around Kodi. Both are integrated and can not be separated. LibreELEC being a...

    If you are using the Showbox.apk with the android, you need to boot into Android. To avoid the android rebooting problems, you can also use Showbox as an addon with Kodi within LibreELEC. Here is the link below how to install Showbox in Kodi as an addon...

    How to access my HDDs from a windows 10 laptop on network for copying files?

    I have switched over to beta version of LibreELEC 8.0.1 with Kodi 17.1 installed on my system. This has solved all my problems I was facing on Android like inconsistent drive names (Udisk 1 sometimes and Udisk 2 other times) for external HDDs every time I reboot. Now my external HDDs and SD...

    BETA. Not (yet) official. LibreELEC 8.0.1 with Kodi 17.1 Test for T8-S Plus v1

    LibreElec 7.0.3 never worked for me and I was happy using DBMC on my V1 box. Since last two days I was having problems with DBMC. So thought why not try the beta of LibreElec 8.0.1. To be on safe side, I did a clean cache partition and factory reset before updating. Updated with the zip file...

    Kodi Add-on repository: Could not connect to Repository.

    I liked that skin and have been using it for last 15 days. The skin is stable and very good. Never gave me any problem since I installed it. Only when I tried to install a Mod for that skin, the mod insisted on an US English language, which failed. I tried Kodi 17.1 but faced some problems in...

    Kodi Add-on repository: Could not connect to Repository.

    After rebooting few times the problem was not solved. So I did the factory reset. As the Aeon MQ7 skin Mod requires the US English language, I was trying to install the language but failed. I did not try the Exodus from Fusion. May be I should do it. I have uninstalled the DBMC and reinstalled...

    Kodi Add-on repository: Could not connect to Repository.

    All these days the v1 box was working OK. But when I tried to add US English language other than the default English, it came out with an error "download failed". So thought I would do a factory reset and start afresh. Went to the factory reset menu by pressing the reset button with a toothpick...

    How to access my HDDs from a windows 10 laptop on network for copying files?

    I have connected two 4TB NTFS USB 3.0 drives to the T8-S v1 box through the 2 of the 3 USB ports. I have no problems in accessing my media files on the box and also taking a backup of the library data on the drives. But I can not access the drives remotely from my Win10 Pro laptop over the WiFi...

    RAM and ROM... Still lacking!

    You have a valid point there. Yes we need better specs on our boxes. More RAM on the Droid boxes will definitely help in running the programs faster without any lag. They will also make them future proof for some more years. For an example, three years ago my first son bought my wife a Asus...
