9.0.1 Discussion

thx. I tried and the gpu clock increase from 500 to 792.I thought that overclocking will solve my issue which is sttutering due to subtitles. But it doesn’t work.

I added the advancedsetting file (dirty region) and i realise that in fact the video is stuttering only the first time when the subtitles appears. After that no more stuttering. I made some test and it’s only the advancesetting file which solve the issue and not both.

Maybe it’s due to this new version too.

Its not actually overclocking per-say the original clock is 792 but vendors downclock to 500 for thermal reasons.

Subtitles is rendered with the CPU so it is normal not to see any change, some people would have you believe that overclocking is the answer to a number of issues that exist but its more likely to do more harm than good but people still want it so who are we to argue.

Lol sorry… :sweat_smile:
overclocking don’t solve my issue
Advancedsetting.xml do it

I had problems after auto update to 9.0.1. I saw the OpenElec logo but than the screen got black. After I did a new install of CoreElec I saw what was the problem. It isn´t possible to switch to 4K resolution. Always when I switch to 4K the screens gets black and after some seconds it turns back to 1080p. With the version before it was no problem to switch to 4K. But I don´t know if it was 9.0.0 or a futher version.

Set your GUI Resolution to 1080p and read link below.

Hello guys

I just updated from 8.95.7 to 9.0.1 and i crashed in the dependency problems for the iptv simple client that somebody here already mentioned. I uninstalled the add on, restarted the system but when i try to install any pvr client i still get dependency error. One weird thing is that corelec repository is marked as 9.0.2 instead of 9.0.1. I don’t know if it’s related or not but how can i solve the dependecies error guys?

Thanks.

I updated yesterday, watched half of a movie, and dont see any problems with adjusting refresh rate ON (using this on one of my setups)

Repo version is 9.0.2 here as well.
All is default, no custom fiddling.

Now that i think of it, that actually could be a versioning issue (?) On the other hand it could be nothing to worry about. Just reporting :wink:

Nothing to worry about that is just the version of the repository package and not necessarily the version we use in the URL for add-ons.

Previous advice still stands to delete any folders as we already include the latest repository in all of our images and have since our very first release.

I generally avoid “Auto Update” functionality and prefer to be notified when an update is available, then decide to apply it after backup, review, etc.

On the update from 9.00 to 9.01, I received a notification that an update was available but there was nothing listed under "Available Versions. Additionally, there is nothing listed under “Update Channel”, just a bar highlighting a blank line in the selection dialog, which you can select (closes the dialog and returns to the previous screen, same as Cancel), or select Cancel. Under “Available Versions”, the Cancel button is the only thing you can select, there is not even a highlighted blank line in the dialog.

I was able to perform the update by changing “Automatic Updates” to “auto”, then the update quickly installed and rebooting performed the installation.

This was a clean 9.0.0 installation. Is the updater not currently working properly making this expected behavior, or is my installation somehow gorked?

Thanks and best regards,

I have mine set to manual updates. On boot up there is a pop up telling me an update is available, I then set auto update, & couldn’t see anything in the channel.

So, I set to auto update, it then downloaded the update & I rebooted.

No drama

We have not setup the update channel yet for manually selecting versions.

I think it would be helpful to have a “semi-auto” update option, which anounces when an auto-update is available, but lets the user decide when to perform download & install.
This would allow to do backup in front, or just postpone if the time is not the right one…

You already have this option by selecting manual, you still get the notification with this setting selected.

Hi,

I had 8.99.X version, sadly my box crashed, thus it got an update to 9.0.0 than 9.0.1
After reboot my tv (LG C8) got “no signal”
I was able to access the box via ssh and saw that kodi is running
I logged to webgui and changed the resolution to 19201080p60hz from 38402160p60hz than got signal

However if I started a 4k or 4k hdr video I got “no signal” again
Than switching to 4096x2160p24hz I was able to play 4k(hdr) content, but the main menu is very laggy.

I already cheked this guide: Recommended Kodi Settings
But I have the opposite of this:
“If you have a black screen when playing 4K/HDR content then whitelist 3840x2160 and below, leaving 4096x2160 unselected as sometimes Kodi will choose this resolution for 4K content which can cause problems with some setups.”
So I have to whitelist 4096x2160 if I whitelist 3840x2160 than I got “no signal”
now gui set to 1080p as recommended above

The problem is that I have some 4k60fps content which is downgraded to 1080p60

Once again I had no problem previously and of course my tv support all resolution
Is there any solution to use my tv and coreelec just as before (3840*2160p60hz) ?
I would like to stick with latest release, but if there is no workaround how can I go back to 8.99.X release ?

@suhanbongo some LG displays are problematic, enable the following option

Settings>System>CoreELEC>Use 4:2:2 colour subsampling

Revert the whitelist changes you made and you should be okay then, GUI should also be at 1080p for HDR autoswitching to work correctly.

Thanks, that’s solved my problem (after reboot)

So if you have a LG TV, GUI set at 1080p is a must for HDR to work correctly are that also the case on the upcoming Odroid N2 paired with LG TV?

Yes

N2 discussion is here
