Hello
I am trying to install the IR controller so I can use my Pine64 as a media centre, but can't find instructions anywhere. I have plugged in the receiver and have batteries in the controller, they are fine. Any ideas welcome.
Many thanks
Sean

Android Lollipop, HDMI mode. I was connected to a 720p tv. Playing with the settings and inadvertantly selected 1080p and lost the video signal. I have the reset button, and on/off switches, installed. Neither one reset the video signal. Any ideas? I could re-burn the chip but I'm hoping for an easier solution.

I'm using Android 5.1.1 Image Release 20160711 [v1.2.6].
I notice that if I burn this to the sd card with the following command, it doesn't work. pine64 does not boot. Nothing comes up on the screen.
dd bs=1M if=android-ver5.1.1-20160711-pine64-8GB.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
Has anyone had success with burning the image using 'dd' on linux? Can you please share the exact command you used?

I have connected my Pine to touchscreen using Android and it works fine. My question is if I can connect my Pine to my tv to see it on a bigger screen when I am at home and want to watch Kodi for example? Or do I need to buy another board strictly dedicated to my TV? Any help is appreciated thanks.

| Battery Takes Forever To Charge |

My pine just about died last night so I turned it off and plugged it in to charge over night. We are now at about 18 hours since plugging in the pine-provided charger and the battery indicator is at about a third of the way full. Settings>Battery shows 34%. I'm running Android 5.1.1 Image (LCD Panel Video Output) Release 20160603 64BG rooted on Samsung Evo 64gb SD card.
Any ideas why charging is painfully slow?

WTF?
I'm loosing confidence in the "goodwill" of this forum's underlying (or is that just lying?) configuration.
I put in a search for working web browsers, and got back shipping information. WTF? Not a peep on what I asked for. And then, trying other searches that do not work either, this forum tells me I cannot submit queries less than 30 seconds apart.
I've NEVER found that policy anywhere else, and I pre-date the world wide web as we know it.
WTF?

Oh, and neither firefox nor chromium work for me. Midori is un-acceptable due to it forcing me into duckduckgo for default searches. Chrome is not available, so far as I've found. So, other than Midori, what browsers have anyone else found to work on 3.10.102-3-pine64-longsleep/MATE Desktop Environment 1.12.1?

Node-RED is a tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways. It build on top of Nodejs
With this, PINE64 going to be more interesting. 
Tested with PINE64 2GB(1GB and 512MB shall work well, anyone with this please help to test out), Debian Base(Others Debian built shall work well, some Debian only support Nodejs 4.x).
1) Install Nodejs
sudo su
cd /home/debian
mkdir src
cd
wget https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v6.x/node...m64.tar.gz
tar -xvf node-v6.8.1-linux-arm64.tar.gz
cd node-v6.8.1-linux-arm64
sudo cp -R * /usr/local/
cd ..
rm -rf node-v6.8.1-linux-arm64
2) Install Node-Red
sudo npm cache clean
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red
3) Boot time auto start
a) Create bash file for node-red service
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/nodered.service
Code: # systemd service file to start Node-RED

echo -e '\033]2;'Node-RED console'\007'

if [ "$nv" = "v0" ]; then

fi
sudo service nodered start
echo " "
sudo journalctl -f -n 0 -u nodered -o cat
c) Create bash file to stop node-red
sudo nano /usr/bin/node-red-stop
Code: #!/bin/bash
echo -e '\033]2;'Node-RED console'\007'
echo -e "\033[1mStop \033[38;5;88mNode-RED\033[0m"
echo " "
echo -e "Use \033[0;36mnode-red-start\033[0m to start Node-RED again"
sudo service nodered stop
echo " "
exit
d) reload systemctl daemon
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
e) create auto start link
sudo systemctl enable nodered.service
4) Start Node-red without reboot
sudo systemctl start nodered.service
5) View node-red log:
sudo journalctl -f -u nodered -o cat
6) Configure node-red settings and install node
After first time start up, node-red will auto created a system folder at /home/debian/.node-red
To configure the setting, /home/debian/.node-red/settings.js
To install node, /home/debian/.node-red/node_modules
Default setting node-red will use PINE64 host name to generate flow file. /home/debian/.node-red/flows_pine64.json
If you will change host name, update the "flowFile" path in settings.js
a) to generate password protected
npm install -g node-red-admin
node-red-admin hash-pw
(Enter your password, it will return encoded password string, copy this string)
b) Famous Dashboard UI
npm install node-red-dashboard
c) Useful scheduler node
npm install node-red-contrib-bigtimer
There are thousand of node & flow at here.
after install new node, restart node-red.
sudo systemctl restart nodered.service
7) After all done, you will able to access node-red at browser (Default will use port 1880, can be update in settings.js)
http://[PINE64-IP-Address]:1880
8) Create a sample flow. You can import the this sample flow at Menu(Right Top Corner) -> Import -> Clipboard
Code: [{"id":"60ba3a72.b24c54","type":"ui_button","z":"5bd1466.b4e63b8","name":"","group":"7e934c94.882ef4","order":0,"width":0,"height":0,"label":"Click Me!","color":"","icon":"","payload":"","payloadType":"str","topic":"","x":188,"y":93,"wires":[["529c0ec4.837a7"]]},{"id":"529c0ec4.837a7","type":"function","z":"5bd1466.b4e63b8","name":"","func":"var d = new Date();\nmsg.payload = d;\nreturn msg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"x":326,"y":90,"wires":[["29ee44ea.ad52ec"]]},{"id":"29ee44ea.ad52ec","type":"ui_text","z":"5bd1466.b4e63b8","group":"7e934c94.882ef4","order":0,"width":0,"height":0,"name":"","label":"Current Date","format":"{{msg.payload}}","layout":"row-spread","x":542,"y":95,"wires":[]},{"id":"7e934c94.882ef4","type":"ui_group","z":"","name":"Hello PINE64","tab":"1680a81f.a5aec8","disp":true,"width":"6"},{"id":"1680a81f.a5aec8","type":"ui_tab","z":"","name":"Home","icon":"dashboard"}]
9) This sample flow using node-red-dashboard, you can access the UI at http://[PINE64-IP-Address]:1880/ui/#/0
Hope you guy enjoy this.  Have fun!!!
