Rom aosp is good but I installed it now HBOMax and Disney + from play store and both apps don't have sound, box is Vontar X3.
Is there solution for that? Or wha't a reason? It's not muted or something like that

Try setting video quality to Save data mode. I had the same problem with Disney Plus and that's the only way that works for me. Hbomax works in my device with default video quality settings.

I have a s905x tv box with slimbox 9.4 (Android TV)

SSH-SERVER (ssh, scp, sftp)
TESTED on TANIX X4 (slimBOXtv AOSP 11.8)

The used bins/lib are comming from this packet:
https://gitlab.com/d4rcm4rc/MagiskSSH_releases/-/blob/master/magisk_ssh_v0.14.zip
FROM ORIGINAL README.md (/data/ssh/files/README.original):
The sshd configuration file in `/data/ssh/sshd_config` can be edited as well,
but please be aware that some features usually present in an OpenSSH installation may be missing.
!!!!! Most importantly, password login is not possible using this package !!!!!


The bins are hart-coded to /data/ssh (sshd.pid, sshd_config and the key-files)

## INSTALL ## (only root)
Unpack ssh.zip to /data

unzip /PATH TO ZIP/ssh.zip -d /data

Set rights

chown -R root:root /data/ssh && chmod -R 0600 /data/ssh && chmod -R 0700 /data/ssh/files
and
mount -o remount,rw / && ln -s /data/ssh/files/lib/libcrypto.so.3 /system/lib/libcrypto.so.3 && mount -o remount,ro /

## SETTING UP ##
public key from root (host) -> /data/ssh/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
For configuration and setting up more user, take a look at: /data/ssh/files/README.original

Make keys (keygen creates no RSA-keys, ignore error)

/data/ssh/files/bin/ssh-keygen -A && rm -f /data/ssh/*rsa* && chmod 0600 /data/ssh/*key

## USE ##
Start/stop the server (file-system / will be remount to rw):

/data/ssh/files/sshd_start.sh
/data/ssh/files/sshd_stop.sh

For X-plore + tvQuickActions use these files:
(X-plore don't use the actual start/stop.sh!
Instead it's using the start/stop.sh, when the link in X-plore was created.)

/data/ssh/files/sshd_start_xplore.sh
/data/ssh/files/sshd_stop_xplore.sh

To auto start the server at boot, copy:

/data/ssh/files/099_SSHD to /sdcard/init.d

## SETTINGS ##

/data/ssh/files/sshd_start.sh
/data/ssh/files/sshd_stop.sh
/data/ssh/sshd_config

Examples:
/data/ssh/files/__sshd_start.sh
/data/ssh/files/__sshd_stop.sh
/data/ssh/sshd_config_full

## REAL LIFE ##
Made it only for myself and it runs rock solid on my Tanix X4.
As a lack of more knowledge, all is made very simple.
Writing a big file to my X4 is around 82Mb/s and reading around 92Mb/s.

Works well with:
TotalCommander (sftp-plugin) -> scp + sftp
WinSCP ---------------------------------> scp + sftp
Filezilla ----------------------------------> sftp
Kitty/putty -----------------------------> ssh

Have fun

Anybody may share how to use the new Viper4Android in SlimboxTV 11.8？

I allowed it root and try all settings, but still see the core is never being used…

I do not have a device for sbx v11.8

Several ideas before really getting deep.

* Did you do a clean firmware install (recommended !!! )?

* Root access is needed(Do not disable).

* Do not install third party equalizers/players... might have issues later.

* Have you gone to Viper >settings >Convolver selection?

* There should be an option to turn on >legacy mode if you find there is no processing.*

Getting a bit deeper, if you search around XDA,Github, Google
* Related to Root access, you can find Magisk (module available) or Supersu(init.d script available).

Deep, deep Submarine deep

* Possible error VIPER FX. You may need to delete the viper files , reboot and check if it works.

**Copied from 4pda faq **

(!) Install V4A as a normal application, run it, install the drivers and restart the device.

If the application after that gives an error or does not work as it should, then try to install according to the instructions below:
0. Remove previously installed drivers (via an option in the application) and the program itself, restart the device.
1. Extract the application ( ViPER4Android_FX/XHiFi.apk) from the ViPER4Android_FX/XHiFi_XXXX_en.zip archive and copy it to /system/app/*here*
2. Change the apk permissions to rw-rr (644) . Reboot your device.
3. Launch the application (FX/XHiFi) and give it root access.
4. In the prompt window for installing drivers, selectYes in "Install/Update" .
5. After installation is complete, reboot your device.
7. If out of all sound enhancers, you only want to use V4A, see option 1 . If you want to use V4A along with other enhancers (eg Beats Audio, etc.), then see Option 2.
--->>Option1.
-----------8. Select V4A(fx or xhifi) in Sound Settings > Music Effects of your player (Don't worry, fx and xhifi start together.)
-----------9. Make sure that in V4A(fx or xhifi), Menu > FX Compatibility Mode is set to Normal .
-----------10. DownloadIRS Starter Pack.zip and extract all .irs files to:
---------------------- for Android 4.xx: /storage/ViPER4Android/Kernel/* here * (if this folder does not exist, then create it manually - save the letter case!)
---------------------- for Android 5.xx: /storage/emulated /legacy/ViPER4Android/Kernel/*here* (if this folder does not exist, then create it manually - save the letter case!)
---------------------- for Android 6.xx: /mnt/runtime/write/emulated/legacy/ViPER4Android/Kernel/*here* (if this folder does not exist, then create it manually - save letter case!)
-----------11 . Ready.
--->>Option2.
-----------8.Open alternately V4A (both fx and xhifi), and in Menu > FX Compatibility Mode select - Compatible .
-----------9. Download IRS Starter Pack.zip and extract all .irs files to:
---------------------- for Android 4.xx: /storage/ViPER4Android/Kernel/ *here* (if this folder does not exist, then create it manually - save the letter case!)
---------------------- for Android 5.xx: /storage/ emulated/legacy/ViPER4Android/Kernel/*here* (if this folder does not exist, then create it manually - save the letter case!)
---------------------- for Android 6.xx: /mnt/runtime/write/emulated/legacy/ViPER4Android/Kernel/*here*(if this folder does not exist, then we create it manually - we save the case of letters!)
-----------10. Ready.

Hope info is applicable, try the easy stuff first, other wise wait for a new release or return to older firmware.

Anyone facing issue with HDMI-CEC on Tanix W2 11.8 firmware? My Samsung TV can't detect CEC though it has worked fine on the original rom before

 

[phooeyman]

hi guys
been recommended slim box, i was after a recommendation for a cheapish 4k box UK on amazon perhaps if that is possible.
Minefield on there so many boxes.
All i really will be running is tivimate and maybe youtube , would like at least 1080p please and it to have a display that show the time ( don't ask) lol

 

[gleck0de]

Any experience with trojans in the latest 11.9 and 11.8 AOSP Vontar X4 releases?

Specifically Trojan:Win32/Spursint.F!cl?

 

[Cronoss]

Is Magisk possible on Slimbox?
I need root but also need to hide root from some applications that close if they detect it.

Using the Magisk APK I choose "patch boot" (or something like that) and it fails.

Has anyone tried Magisk with TWRP on one of these ROMs?

Use Amlogic Burn Tool 3.2, and the USB type-c port on the stick to connect to your computer. Make sure you hold down the reset button on the stick as you plug it in to your PC.
If it is still not recognized, try a better quality USB to type-c cable.. or try reinstalling the drivers.
