9.2.2 Discussion

Development Development & Testing
329

I am doing a happy dance.

Yesterday my Khadas VIM3L arrived with CoreELEC preinstalled (this usually bothers me and I prefer to wipe clean and install myself, but I was so eager I used it as is). I went through the startup wizard, connected to wifi, set region, etc. It asked if I wanted to update to 9.2.2. I did, of course, because I had read about all the fixes that were in it. It updated. I added the Jellyfin Repo, connected to my server.
It spent some long time updating all the media while I slept. This morning everything looked happy. I tested a 4K video to see how it compared to my RPi4B running LibreELEC. IT JUST WORKED! No hangs like the other device. A bit of buffering at the beginning, but only a few seconds. Then just worked. I look forward to testing it out more extensively, but I already know that it works better. Yeah!

Thanks CoreELEC team (and Khadas)! Congratulations on good work.

When you say that the addon categories are slow, it seems a little vague as to exactly what elements are slow.

Are you talking about the addons themselves, and if so, which ones?

As far as the updates are concerned, as you know, it has been discussed ad infinitum and the CE team made a decision, so I can’t see why the same things should be resurrected where reasoning’s are duplicated.

The extra work is often because the same thing keeps coming up and having to be answered again and again.

Glad to be running CoreELEC, but got a small issue with my C4. DVD Menus are broken, for example on a TV show, if I hit the episodes list it doesn’t proceed (But I can see the mouse pointer move). This happened on my C2 aswell.

333

This is a know issue on Amlogic platform. Don’t know if it can be solved ever. ffmpeg detect wrong frame rate on mpeg stream as multiple still pictures are merged into on vts file.

334

Talking to me? The previous version of coreelec didn’t have this issue and DVD menus were flawless

336

That’s because there was a change and now some more DVD menu are hw decoded now. More as before, even Blue Ray menus. But others stop working by this change. It’s like a 50:50% working/not working chance. Let me check it in more detail if there is a way to fix it.

I’ve been using 9.2.2 version on my 905x3 since it got released without any problems but lately all of a sudden I can’t update my movie library from the USB hdd connected to the box directly, I do the scanning and the films are not added. Another issue is that movies that weren’t watched till the end don’t pick up from the moment they were stopped.

338

Great, thanks for your help :). On my C2 it was no trouble as I could just use an older version of CoreELEC, but that version isn’t supported for the C4 haha.

339

I found where is the bug. IF I enable the hardware decoder, the issue come out.

I see this error in the log every reboot

Is it anything to worry about?

Update to last nightly.

342

I have updated from 9.2.0 to 9.2.2 and have heavy issues. I am using the teleboy pvr addon for Live-TV. Since the update, the image freezes randomly. It gets stuck and I have to reboot.

I didn’t have the problems before. That’s why I want to downgrade back to 9.2.0. I already tried it but it doesn’t work. After the downgrade to 9.2.0 I see the Bootlogo Khadas and the sbc shuts down.

I have also tried to downgrade via Khadas rescue tool but there is no archiv where I can download the old version of coreelec just the newone. The Frimware is installed on the emmc storage

How can I downgrade my Khadas VIM3L to 9.2.0?

.

9.2.3

9.2.0

344

Put the .tar file for your box, from the links below/above, in the .update Folder on your boxes file structure . Maybe you must activate “show hidden files” if you are connecting from a Computer. Then restart and the update (downgrade) should start.

345

I did that too but the same problem. After rebooting I get the Khadas Logo and the SBC turns off.

346

Can anyone else confirm that the screensaver ‘Turn Off’ will not turn off the TV via CEC if a movie is playing, but will work fine if it is just idle in the Kodi menu?
I have two a905x boxes, on two different TVs, that are showing this behavior. They had worked in the past, and CEC is clearly working as the screensaver starts as long as a movie is not paused.

I do have ‘Use dim if paused’ unchecked.

347

Hi! I’ve seen this question been already asked here, but no answer was given yet - how to reenable nightly updates?
After update to 9.2.2 Coreelec became stable and stopped getting nightly updates.
Is it possible to switch to nightly again over GUI or ssh? Or do I have to manually put latest nightly into .update folder?

348

Yes, thats the way

349

Thanks, I’ll update this way then.

Hi,
could someone kindly explain what “USB power” in CE-settings does? I just bought an Odroid C4 and my wifi dongle isn’t working, like if it’s not getting any power (it was working on the C2)
