OK. We may be able to add a shutdown function in a future update to the m8 devices. I'll look into it for you. At the moment I'm just finishing dvb support and a tvheadend service.

This will cure the annoying hardware bug that means you cannot reboot your box from the remote power button if you went into suspend mode using that remote power button. This edited remote.conf file will give you the usual old 3 choice menu instead when you hit the remote red power button and by choosing Suspend from the 3 options it will put your box as it says into suspend mode. However now the remote power button will warm reboot the box as it should without the annoying need to power off/on reboot your box. This appears to not be an EmbER problem as I have noticed from testing that this same fault is also often there with the default Android OS as supplied with the virginal new boxes.
If you want this amended remote.conf file (ONLY FOR MXQ M12 metal cased boxes running EmbER) then get it here " https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1731...xed%29.zip " from my Dropbox public folder (it is very small file) unzip this file called "M12 remote (fixed).zip" and using file manager (with access to hidden files and deletions enabled as usual) add it to the folder /root/Configs/kodi/ and then reboot your box for it to take effect.
I hope Josh may be able to incorporate this into the next EmbER update V4.0.1 but I gather that is still some weeks away yet.

Hi Ed.
I too have had this problem recently and do not know the cause, but it seems most likely something corrupt in the set up you have or have recently restored to your box. I found it always occurred when I tried to change the short cuts in the System|Appearance|Skin Settings pages, and then found it locked up when I tried a reboot via the onscreen power icon or the amended remote control system (see earlier post regarding the edited remote.conf file). Power off//on hard reboot then brought the box back up but of course then your changes to the shortcuts were not saved though now the reboot would work normally .
The fix for this cure I have found by experimenting was to go to the EmbER Settings|Maintenance page and carrying out the two clean up routines there (run the second one first as the top one requires a reboot anyway) After this clean up I found that I could now change my short cut settings and save them with a normal reboot using remote of onscreen power icon.and the reboot lock was no longer a problem. Have not ascertained which of the two maintenance clean ups is needed to fix this problem or indeed if you must run both. Need time to experiment to find that out.but I suspect it may be the second option rather than the first. I will try just running that second clean up option only next time I have this problem which is usually when I set up a new box restoring my latest configurations and add-on list, even though that was saved from a good working system. .
Let me know how you get on trying that Ed as this needs to be confirmed and tested. As to the cause then we have to leave that to Josh who I know is very busy until next month.
