19.0-Matrix Discussion

For 1st issue I need full log, but not crash log.

Are you using petitboot?

No, I am not. I boot directly to CoreELEC, no dual boot. When I want to change system, I have to manually change SDcards. My petitboot version: 20201222.

So the switch is set to emmc right? Because I saw these corruption with petitboot before.

Yes, I double checked that, itā€™s on the right side, close to eMMC (SD cards) slots. And I do not see petitboot interface. Hardkernel logo and CoreELEC splash screen immediately.

did not know that, Iā€™ll reconfigure my stuff then.

I think it should be right this time.

From logs I donā€™t see nothing related to this issue.
Some addon feature.

Hello!

I have OTA updated CE on the Beelink GT1 mini to 9.2.6 ā€œLeiaā€, and up to copy the proper dtb file on the SD card. But as I see the dtb file in the newer Matrix version is much different from this one. So, my question is, if I leave the Leia 9.2.6 running for now, but when there would come another OTA update to some newer Matrix version, than I have to do the dtb change manually again?

Thanks!

You only need once to update your ā€œgenericā€ dtb.img to the new dtb. Matrix do update correctly by itself to the new dtb on upgrade.

Sorry, and for to avoid all misunderstanding: what you mean by ā€œgenericā€? This one?: g12a_s905x2_4g_1gbit.dtb / Because as the GT1 mini has now itā€™s own dedicated dtb file. For Leia itā€™s: g12a_s905x2_beelink_gt1_mini_4g (and also has a _2g version) and itā€™s 68Kbytes, but for the Matrix thereā€™s only one now: g12a_s905x2_beelink_gt1_mini and itā€™s only 34Kbytes. So theyā€™re definitely not the sameā€¦ So Iā€™m still confused regarding, would need some more clear explanation, thank youā€¦

(I know that _4g means that itā€™s for the 4GB Box version, but thatā€™s not what causes the confusion).

On 9.2 you have 2g and 4g, yes. On Matrix only one for both

Yes I know this, but so in the light of all the above that has mentioned, it still apples what you stated?
So I can now copy the g12a_s905x2_beelink_gt1_mini_4g dtb file for 9.2.6 Leia, and when an OTA update comes with the Matrix sometime, it will automatically exchange the dtb for itā€™s proper one dedicated for the GT1 Mini?

Just one thing, thereā€™s no plan to force an update from Leia to Matrix. If you want to enter the Matrix train youā€™ll have to update manually.

thank you, this was the solution for me.

Had been reporting the local error and everything coreelec settings related was refusing to load.

Apparently en-GB was an unrecognised localeā€¦ didnā€™t know the UK was so obscure :smiley:

on a separate note, how do i move to nightlies for 19. The relkai.coreelec.org/release.json route does not work for me on 19. does it mean manually downloading them and dropping them in update folder?

That takes a lot of consideration to decideā€¦ BTW is there any further improvement/fixes/etc. in the Matrix version of the GT1 mini .dtb file, compared to the Leia version?

So Iā€™m back with almost the same problem.

Installed is 19.0 Matrix nightly 20210315, but I also have the problem with the versions before and with 9.2.6.

Ugoos Am6 -> AVR (Yamaha RX V4) -> TV (Q80T) (HDMI)

1080p resolution ground with 60hz and 50hz are displayed. 30hz and 24hz I get a black screen.

3840x2160 is displayed with 60,50,30,25 hz. 24hz flickers the picture. 23.98 is stable.

4096x2160 is stable at 23.98hz.

I switched the resolutions one after the other and saved the logs.

New scenario:
Am6 -> TV -> AVR (Earc)

http://ix.io/2SX1
http://ix.io/2SX2

All resolutions are displayed correctly with all Hz frequencies. The only problem is that the sound is no longer output correctly via the Earc interface for some series / films.

With older versions of CoreElec I did not have the problems with the AVR.

Your whitelist is wrong
You have only 2160p30, 1080p50 and 720p50

videoscreen.whitelist: 0384002160030.00000pstd,0192001080050.00000pstd,0128000720050.00000pstd

You should try with empty whitelist or exclude only smpte and lowest resolutions

You forgot to post what you entered! You only need to run make, so itā€™s user error.
