Expected if it's not the Neo A2 Lite remote.. Try searching for your remote's back key ID or the add-on:Keymap Editor.

Edit.. Try this first..

Code is solid.. It's also written to allow video playback to continue while taking one step back.. Okay, found the issue.. Missed one folder earlier tongue.gif .. "keymaps".. So the keymap.xml file should be stored in;
(/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/keymaps).
Note that the "org.xbmc.kodi" is for regular KODI. The pre-installed XBMC for Minix would be "hk.minix.xbmc". The above changes should work this time.. smile.gif

tv boxes don't fail that easily.

the bigger issue is about memory size and some apps not working on older chipsets.

over time, there is a need to change to newer and better as tech moves along.

my 1st one is a 1/4gb nand. memory good only for small apps; slow; now used mainly for usb playback since it can play bdmv/iso and pass thru hd audio.

2nd one is 2/8gb emmc mainly used for chinese apps in another location.

3rd one is 2/16gb 4k emmc in full use.


i have not noticed anything much better than the 2/16gb 4k except for nividia shield which is netflix uhd certified, so that's the point i would like to follow.

my 3months old M8S box already shows symptoms of failing... the TV screen flickers often and sometimes no image shows on the TV (just blank). Other inputs such as Astro/HyppTV are perfect. Believe the box is failing...

ah well... if it is powered on all the time, there will be one component that will burn out its life faster.

typically, that will the power supply module/board.

I'm not really sure why, but my OTT M8s wifi download speed is very poor. Upload is normal. Tried some fix to move the internal antenna a bit, did the job for a while, after a while, the download speed is severed again.

Cant use cable, modem at centre of the house.

Using Unifi 30, but only get 3Mbps download speed. Upload is normal at 10Mbps.

Now using my Hypptv (which is working great) while waiting seller to reply my queries.

Bummer.
