Just got the white box after so long. While I use Raspberry Pi for my general Kodi consumption, suddenly need a kodi box for one TV room.
Thoughts on Kodi + huawei ec6108v8:
Thanks for your write up. Just curious, does SPMC supports the new HTTPS links? Like what's supported on Krypton?Thoughts on Kodi + huawei ec6108v8:

Simple operation - press power button quickly during boot to enter recovery, enter 304830 as password, restore from backup (I think "new" boxes are just old boxes or returned boxes being reused), remove/block the system update url, and finally update google play& google service.

CODE
SPMC supports a backdoor to specify the location of your SPMC/XBMC data.
To do so, create a file name spmc_env.properties in the root of your external storage (normally, "/sdcard"). Its content is simply:
xbmc.data=<path to the xbmc data root>
e.g. xbmc.data=/storage/sdcard0/external_sdcard/xbmc_data
Inside this, a directory ".spmc" will be created which contain the well-known xbmc/kodi structure ("addons", "userdata", ...).
Currently, the specified path must be an android one, i.e. no "smb://" or "nfs://", but you can specify any directory mounted on the android FS, including samba or NFS ones.
Note that the standard Kodi xbmc_env.properties is also supported. If spmc_env.properties is not found, SPMC will look for xbmc_env.properties as a fallback.
