I think you’re being facetious on the 9.2.4.2 version - you already know which one of those to use, since you already had CE installed and used the ng version for your device
Re 50/60 Hz - that has nothing to do with NTSC or PAL (nor the relative frequencies of AC power coming out of your wall socket), it is the refresh rate of the TV or projector in your case i.e. that is the frequency at which your screen refreshes its image. Look up your device specs.
I second this. On past versions of LE/Kodi (so perhaps CE too), I would always be careful to have my amp and TV turned ON any time I am rebooting, otherwise resolution and framerate could sometimes be limited… which would lead to “juddering” and whatever other associated problems this causes.
But it is still wrong what was posted there.
You need to boot with TV and AVR on. Then you copy your systems disp_cap to your .kodi/userdata/disp_cap.
This way you will always have all your TVs resolutions.
Btw I have the same Problems with my Soundbar that cuts the hdmi to my TV.
And I am using a users disp_cap too. Additionally I set the cec physical address.
Thank you for your help I can again control my media player with my phone it was this web server setting that went off but last night I couldn’t find it even it was clearly explained in the yatse post pardon me… I didn’t expect automatic update would disable webserver well I now know what to do and where find this feature. Cheers to everyone giving time to improve such a nice media player I don’t have any TV for years but I can still enjoy watching contents thanks to YOU
Hmm am I being lazy or would this be a useful feature to expose in the “Expert” options somewhere in the CE config menus? It could be called “Remember display capabilities (requires reboot)”. By default it could be off (same behavior as now), but if you turn it on, it goes through the process you have described, and only returns to the default behavior if you disable it.
Thinking about it more, I find this “detect on boot” problematic - can we really expect users to somehow “know” that they need TV and AVR turned on before CE box? Where are they supposed to learn this critical order of what to turn on first? Maybe a better way would be if CE could detect if a display is “OFF” then delay the query command until its turned on?
There is no way to detect a display when the AVR/Soundbar cuts the hdmi line to the TV. TV’s deliver hdmi edid information even if they are off thats why it works if you connect it directly to the TV.
I recently implemented a “wait-for-dispcap” systemd service which is included in 9.2.4.2. It waits up to 1min on boot to find disp_cap information. First I wanted to make it wait as long till infinity but after discussing it internally we decided against it.
After 1min timeout it will temporarily fallback to 720p. I also had a fallback to the resolution.ini value.
The biggest problem is what will happen if you move your device from lets say your bedroom TV to your living room. In this case you will have to remove your static disp_cap or you might end up with a “No Signal” if the other TV doesn’t support it. Thats why doing things like that automatically or with a GUI option is a bad idea.
It is definitely a User Setup/Hardware Problem and the fix is for advanced users.
I was unsure about ng or not but it’s a moot point now. Being facetious was far from my intentions. After all the help you gave me, I have nothing but appreciation for you and I bow to your IT skills which are vastly superior to mine.
Edit: Thanks also for the link to the 1080i vs 1080p explanation. I now understand the difference perfectly and am happy to know that my system operates in 1080p.
Hello, I have been using luks encrypted partitions for some time now with my x96 max, but after the last update it hangs (100% cpu on one core) on cryptsetup command:
Hi guys, I am an owner of Odroid N2 and I have now installed the new CoreELEC 9.2.4.2, having connected an AVR Hdmi to my system I noticed that in the audio setting there are no more DTS-HD and TrueHd audio, I tried to play movies with these audio codecs and in fact they no longer appear on the display of my AVR, on DTS-HD it appears DTS and True-HD does not reproduce any sound, too bad because the previous version were present and worked well. Why this change? Thank you.
