[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B Plus

[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B Plus

This ROM exists thanks to lots of hard work put into porting OpenELEC to Amlogic devices bycodesnakeAll thanks should go to him. I only forked his code and made some changes to make it work on MK808B Plus with HEVC support.

This is a port of OpenELEC for devices based on Amlogic chips. Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center (OpenELEC) is a small Linux distribution built from scratch as a platform to turn your device into an XBMC media center.


If you need help, please ask you questions in this topic.


Please note:
  • Official OpenELEC team does NOT officialy support these builds, and is NOT involved in any way, so DO NOT POST bugs and DO NOT ASK for help on official OpenELEC site at http://openelec.tv.
  • This build supports BeeLink MK808B Plus device only. I will not support/build for any other device I don't have.
  • There may be some issues with HD-Audio passthrough which I can't fix since I don't own an AV receiver.


Known issues:
  • VC-1 in MKV container (issue also present in Android)
  • some HEVC videos won't play using hardware decoding (issue also present in Android)
  • automatic frame rate setting may end in 'no signal' for some videos, don't turn it on for now
  • WiFi is turned off on first boot, you have to turn it on in OpenELEC Settings
  • Bluetooth may need to be power cycled in Settings after every reboot


Changelog:
5.0.1-20150209
  • updated to OpenELEC 5.0.1
  • kernel updated to 3.10-0e99726, again many thanks to @codesnake for his awesome work
  • added support for hardware-accelerated random number generation
  • added amvideocap support to enable boblight-aml and video screenshots in Kodi
  • removed CVBS support (also to prevent 'no signal' when TV is connected after OpenELEC is booted)
  • fixed 1080p->720p->1080p switching during boot
  • optimized for speed, not size
  • fixed downloading OpenELEC addons
  • some upstream patches from @codesnake with fixes for Live TV playback
  • temporarily disabled USB Audio support
  • it is now possible to update OpenELEC via recovery without wiping userdata
