Amlogic-no Discussion

Maybe you try Linux or Windows Kodi 22 with your plugin.video.iplayerwww.
We are not able to fix your issue with third party addons, especially if they use inputstream.adaptive.

Test a local media file, there we might can help.

For you dtb.xml: there is a wrong node wol node inside.
Just delete whole dtb.xml and on next boot it will be created itself again.

Deleted the dtb.xml and then set up 2 local videos. In the log first is with hardware acceleration off (I ran the 2nd file twice by mistake). They play.

Turned acceleration on. They donā€™t play.

Log is https://paste.coreelec.org/Costellomelted.

Hope you can help.

Can CoreELEC ceemmc tool be used with NO?
I tried on an S905x4 box but it said option 3 and 4 only not 1.

Thats because there is no dual boot/dual OS option with
SC2 Amlogic S905X4 SoC

You can have standalone CoreELEC on internal

Iā€™m not 100% sure if this is true with this manual procedure: Homatics Box R 4K Plus - #278 by vpeter

Sadly I forgot what exactly I did at that time. read the thread little above :slight_smile:

Nice!!!
Should work with other S905X4

Although you still need micro sd/usb drive for boot.

Not sure if an ultra fast 32GB micro sd would yield same result :thinking:.

It will reduce the size of media used for boot
And you are still taking up one if the ports
TF card slot or usb port.

To each his own

I will update the SD card and stop there atm :slight_smile: Thanks for the replies.

Since I ran into the problem of no video playing on N2 2GB if hardware acceleration is on, Iā€™ve been viewing with it off on this device and on N2+ 4GB. Iā€™m not a 4k user.

Iā€™ve had no problems at all and I have to say that slight playback judder I noticed on some videos (on N2+ 4GB) isnā€™t there with acceleration off. The difference is subtle but I see it every time.

Iā€™m posting to flag this up in case other users have the same experience and wish to comment.

Please try again with this new dtb:
g12b_s922x_odroid_n2.dtb (72.1 KB)

If it still does not work please make dmesg | paste log.

Film stutters mainly when text (srt) is used, but also a little without srt.

Iā€™ll try to explain what Iā€™ve noticed with the movie stuttering problem.

Iā€™m using nightly 22-no on N2+ and U22XJ, and have tested almost all versions since July and the film stuttering is still there.

(I am not an expert in English, but will try to make myself understood.)

The movie stutters when amcodec is on and regardless of the resolution and frame rate I use.

Interestingly, the problem with the film stuttering disappears completely when some form of overlay is used, e.g. logging=on or simply when playback control is in picture, then there is no stutter at all, but as soon as only the film is visible, it stutters.

Would be nice if others can test and confirm this.

I have searched the whole forum for description of this phenomenon.

I donā€™t usually see these problems with CE 19-21.

This issue is known for a while, started with 5.4 kernel and got worse with 5.15.
But nobody had yet time to analyse and fix it yetā€¦

Working, thanks!

I wonā€™t be able to test this today so Iā€™ll reply tomorrow but as @RowanCE had the same problem as me and says it works it looks encouraging.

Sorry but my results with the amended dtb are more mixed than @RowanCE 's. I might have messed up if the dtb file is specific to the nightly version because I have updated from the nightly of 22nd that I reported on.

Anyhow, on the clean version I created for reporting, on first boot with the new dtb itā€™s working but only after some strange behaviour when the remote seemed not to be working for some time. This resolved itself and the 2 local videos play with acceleration on.

If I apply the new dtb to my main setup itā€™s a different story. It boots to the kodi screen but the remote doesnā€™t work and I canā€™t select any options. When I examine the sd card, the dtb.xml has not been created. Copying the original dtb back brings things back to working (without accelaration).

Iā€™m confused now and inclined to give up because I like the unaccelerated video and the 2GB N2 seems to be a rarity amongst users.

Maybe unrelated but I had some remote strangeness tooā€¦ after playing a video, if I enter the SETTINGS screen then press left or right before the background image had loaded, everything locks up. Being fairly reproducible, I tried twice to capture it in logs but was finding no log timestamps around the time of my actions. Will try again. But otherwise, N2 working fine for me with Portischā€™s supplied DTB. 24 and 26 nightlies tried IIRC.

Hi, is there a fix / workaround for the wifi in vontar x4?

Bluetooth seems to work fine but wifi connections wont show at all.

Using the sc2_s905x4_4g_1gbit.dtb

AM8, after the android 1.3.8 version update that came today, any video with CoreELEC no is not working.Black screeen.
I tried with a clean install.

Note: I reset the AM8 Android partition and all problems solved

After the Ugoos AM8 android version 1.3.8 update, videos are not working in the CoreELEC system. AM8 needs to be reset to factory settings to work properly again.
Our friends have 4 AM8s, all of them had the same problem with the 1.3.8 update and we did a factory reset.
This error is only available in CE no version.
This error does not exist in CE ne version.

vim3pro has a lot of artifacts on these files, especially with subtitles or video player gui elements active on screen

Hello dear coreelec team, maybe you can help me.

Unfortunately, overclocking has no longer worked since Coreelec No (Kodi22). As usual, I entered this data in the config.ini:
Max_freq_a73 = 2400 and Max_freq_a53 = 2016
The overtake does not work anymore, what do I do wrong?
