Updated Core Elec today and my Hyperion stopped working, so I updated Hyperion.NG too it is now working, but the menu has wrong color order. There is thread about it on Hyperion forum, and I have no idea where to submit a ticket, because last time to find someone to compile an improved version lasted half a year :smiley:

Can someone take a look at this thread (solution at the end, but I’m way too noob to compile myself):

For hyperion.ng I changed

switch (vinfo.bits_per_pixel)
{
case 16: pixelFormat = PIXELFORMAT_BGR16; break;
case 24: pixelFormat = PIXELFORMAT_BGR24; break;
case 32: pixelFormat = PIXELFORMAT_RGB32; break; // was PIXELFORMAT_ BGR32
default:
Error(_log, “Unknown pixel format: %d bits per pixel”, vinfo.bits_per_pixel);
close(_fbfd);
return -1;
}

For hyperion I changed

if (vinfo.bits_per_pixel == 16)
{
pixelFormat = PIXELFORMAT_BGR16;
}
else if (vinfo.bits_per_pixel == 24)
{
pixelFormat = PIXELFORMAT_BGR24;
}
else if (vinfo.bits_per_pixel == 32)
{
pixelFormat = PIXELFORMAT_RGB32; // was PIXELFORMAT_ BGR32
}

I upgraded from 9.03 to 9.2 on Xtreamer Whizz. Everything went well apart from the fact that on the initial boot I had only black screen until Kodi interface kicked in. No worries

I ve noticed a small improvement in video playback both movies and TV. Motion seems a little smoother than before and deinterlacing more solid. Are there improvements or is it just my impression?

I have a Sony AF9 4K HDR tv and 2160p resolution

Hello.

I have installed 9.2.0 on a UBS and booted on X96 Max 4/32 (with proper device tree), and I get green screen. Just as described here: Khadas VIM3 testbuilds

LG tv, tried switching different HDMI cable and HDMI ports on TV, no difference.

Cannot boot nighly build, getting a boot loop.
Adding: device is now based on Android9, with update, dated 20190926.
Update: tried to run nightly again with a tooth stick, and it worked. Coreelec loaded fine and no green!

@ffimon Any ideas on the stuttering issue based upon what I posted above?

Hi All,

I have installed 2 new builds on an N2 and C2.

My N2 - CEC Fails

My C2 - SFTP is still broken for me. Has the latest fix been added to this build based on https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/16438

Thanks in advanced

Hi, where can I find the new coreelec splash screen? I want to put it in before kodi is loaded. Thanks

Change spalsh to your own:
Copy your splashscreen.png to your storage folder and rename it to oemsplash.png
then ssh the box, make 3 command and reboot. :

mount -o remount,rw /flash
cp /storage/oemsplash.png /flash/oemsplash.png
mount -o remount,ro /flash

Thank you very much for your answer but I wanted the beautiful splash screen with what coreelec 9.2.0 starts itself. I don’t know where to find it.

splash-1080.zip (917.7 KB)

Just unzip this file and follow previous instructions.

Thank you very much ukmark62.

I bought one for me to have some fun, I hope it does not have the same boards.

why, oh why, are they still making boxes without gigabit ethernet…

Still looking for some input with the stuttering issue I posted above. There was some changes made since 9.0.3 that causes this. If you need more info/logs I can see what I can pull.

Has anyone gotten SFTP to work and scan your library / files

Bug of PVR is solved in last last versions from v4.5.2 - Speed up EPG loading. PLease update for 9.2 and also for 9.0.3 (if is possible) ThX. changelog of pvr iptv
