Haven't seen much difference having updated to 13.2. One thing I have noticed is that some of the sound options in settings have gone (5.1, passthrough, etc) although I think CronicCorey is aware of this judging by comments left on the XDA-Developers forum. Would be good to have these back though!

I got to update my atv1200 to Gotham 13.2 thanks to auxbox, but after testing it I have gone back to13.1. I found several bugs in 13.2
- no 5.1 sound available
- I cannot set resolution to 1080, the picture goes completely out of screen and cannot fit the issue with any setting

Try setting the video calibration to fit to screen and set audio from within osd while playing a video

If you can't fix this with the calibration settings either FTP or SSH into the box and remove the GUISettings.xml in /root/.xbmc/userdata then reboot. That sorted it for me for both 13.1 and 13.2

I think you can delete that file without the hassle of SSH by using the XBMC File Manager, as long as you have set up the configuration to show System and Hidden files (set that under one of the Settings|Appearance options, cannot remember which one from the top of my old head but it is pretty obvious when you have the screen up).

5.1 sound also definitely works in 13.2. May just be an issue with the settings level or advancedsettings.xml.

Hi!

My Mygica ATV1200 working firmware was 20130805 (http://www.geniatech.com/news/dual-c...re-release.asp) but then i wanted to test older firmware and started to downgrade my box. I installed SPI from 20120918 firmware (http://www.geniatech.com/down-eng/an...0120917SPI.zip) and after this install my box doesnt boot anymore. It just showed the red light and i cant get to recovery too.

I compared both spi files: the spi.img file from working firmware has 3 files inside (env_MX.img, recovery.img and uboot_MX.img) but the older firmware spi.img file has only 1 file inside (spi_MX.img).

I tried many different rescue methods and one of them worked. With rescue SD card and pin shortening my box booted to recovery. Then i tried to install spi.img files from different firmwares (new stock firmware versions) but always get this error message: assert failed: format("MTD", "recovery"). Here is a screenshot: http://postimg.org/image/3o9zw1llf/

Then i installed Finless 1.4a ROM (boot_recovery.img and finless_14a.img installation was without any problems) and thought that now i can boot my box but... without pin shortening and rescue SD it's only the red light and no boot.

Maybe somebody knows why i cant install new stock firmware versions but can only install Finless ROM and spi.img from 20120918? Its something wrong with the NAND partitions or its incorrect ROM format? Why box cant boot Finless ROM (all files are installed succesfully). Something wrong with uboot? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I think you need to erase NAND because it's corrupt. Have you got USB serial cable?

I dont have USB serial cable but im oredering one from ebay right now.
This cable (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-TTL-Serial...1c466c0fbb) will be ok or i must buy one of those (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-Adapter-Ca...20e619d9b9) ?

Ok. When i'm waiting for cable, could you please write what can i do next? If its something similar with this instruction (HOW TO BURN IMAGE ATV1200 with RS232.rar from https://www.dropbox.com/home/Linux%20XBMC?select=) that could you please tell me more about serial cable connection.

This is my box - (http://postimg.org/image/8pnykup3d/). I marked with red the connection place for serial cable. Is that correct ? For example, if i have this cable (/www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-TTL-Serial-Adapter-UART-CH340G-Arduino-ATMega-DTR-6-pin-w-cables-/121440571323?pt=UK_Computing_Other_Computing_Networking&hash=item1c466c0fbb) then how many pins i need connect to box and where i need to connect them (box have 6 connection places) ?

The serial is at top right of picture and you only use 3 of the 4 connections leaving the red (power) off

I'm at this point too. Waiting to here what happens next.

As yet I have not needed this serial cable fix but seems it would be a very useful guide to make a sticky here on the front page of this thread if anyone has the spare time and inclination.

I must say I am very happy with 13.2 but I have just two add-ons that do not seem compatible with Lunix Gotham though they are not marked as such. Those two add-ons are Football Replays and Motor Sport Replays. FR just causes a quick soft reboot when you try to load a full match replay and MSR just will not play from any servers and just times out with nothing. Not sure if it is a Linux Gotham problem or more likely the third party add-ons are needing updating for Gotham. Are there any of you here who can run these two popular add-ons from any of the Linux Gotham builds ?? Yeh yeh I know these are thrid party add-ons but still I highly value the feedback from you guys here and cannot see why it matters anyway to be honest as could well help with the development work..
Cheers
