9.2.6 Discussion

For all who have this issue please collect logs from version with issue before downgrade. And also collect logs from working version.

If it doesn’t work via menu than additionally ce-debug log

Hi! How to safely downgrade to version 9.2.5? There was a noticeable video jerk in Live TV (some HD channels) after the update. Khadas VIM3L. Log http://ix.io/2QPV

In CoreELEC settings disable Auto update, then choose Update Channel

Fully configured the required configuration for 9.2.6 - everything works fine. I haven’t done a clean install for a very long time, probably two years. It is significant how the size of the backup file has decreased, it was more than 200 MB, it became - just over 40 MB

Ok, but it still need some clearing: so you mean I can simply update with the automatic OTA method to 9.2.6? Than switch off the Box, get the SD card and plug in to a PC, copy and rename the GT1 mini .dtb file to it’s place and than just put the card back to the Box? Or after the OTA update I can also copy the .dtb file to the Box’s SD card through LAN from the PC and than just reboot the Box? Thanks!

Minix U1, upgraded from 9.2.5 to 9.2.6 and audio freezes after like 3 seconds, then video freeze and then GUI unresponsive until reboot via SSH or by pulling power cable.

Downgraded to 9.2.5 and everything is working again.

Freeze happens when playing video from USB attached harddisk or network. Tested a number of different types and sizes of video, same result each time. After 15 reboots I just wanted to watch a movie so I stopped trying to see what’s wrong.

Please create a backup by CE settings when running 9.2.6 and share it by private message to one CE team member. It have to be something in the device config what causes this issue.

A clean install will solve the issue, no need to downgrade to 9.2.5 again.

Hello,

Does Plex addon work with this release?

registered this account just to let y’all know that the bluetooth auto connect feature is a great enhancement. taking off that additional few pages of clicking through and connecting to bluetooth headphones is really nice.

The problem will be in the KODI. I tried to install KODI 18.9 and 19 - only 1 item is displayed in the whitelist (1920/1080).

sorry, i cant give you more information about the errors i get, went back to 9.2.5 - girlfriend can’t accept more testing / crashing system and so on.
thats also the reason i was not using nightlys - sorry for that guys.

Let’s try some troubleshooting! Here is some 9.2.6 logs:
from GUI (before crash): http://ix.io/2QUq
After crash:
dmesg: http://ix.io/2QUr
ce-debug: http://ix.io/2QUs
kodi.log: http://ix.io/2QUt
journalctl -a: http://ix.io/2QUu
smb.conf: http://ix.io/2QUw

9.2.5 (no crash)
from GUI: http://ix.io/2QUy
dmesg: http://ix.io/2QUz

I’d really love to be able to keep my config as I’ve spent a lot of time on it. If you need anything else, just ask!

@pepek33, you can try to experiment with advancedsettings.xml values if you use whitelist.
Don’t know if it works, it’s kodi feature

Thanks. I’ll read it .

Thanks a lot, it worked! I hope it could help other with the same kind of issue!

Using 9.2.6 on Odroid C2, when playing any of my TV recordings audio suddenly disappeared and video eventually froze. After that, Core Elec seemed to crash (no UI response at all) and had no other option but to power cycle my board. As @boot2k3 suggested, switching off Sync playback to Display seemed to fix my issues for now.

Same HDMI-CEC issue in my MagicSee N5 (Amlogic S905X2 rev b). Downgrading to 9.2.5 and upgrading to 9.2.6 just after solves the issue.
